Jade Crow 8/6/10
The Kyoto Golden Pavillion is one of the most spectacular and beautiful places I've ever been to in my life. It was surprising to find out that everything in the garden and around the temple was placed perfectly to tell a story, so nothing is wild; everything is groomed to perfection, looking natural. It felt so peaceful walking through the nature surounding the temple. I could tell the temple was well respected as there were Buddha statues on the soil with loads of donations surounding them. I learnt that you have to look at things more than once, in different ways, so you can truly understand them and I also learnt that the fist Golden Pavillion; that was made of real gold, was burned down and then rebuilt with not real gold but gold coloured paint! This is what you see these days at Kyoto. I will nevver forget the beauty I saw in Kyoto.
