Cats, good books, AI, and religious walking in the city of Sofia
The first Japanese shrine I visited during my business trip. From what I understood, the lanterns are ads by the sponsors, who are all local businesses from Gion. Visiting during daytime would be better.
The last photo is one of the nearby shops just outside the temple. Not sure what it symbolizes but it caught my eye and looked well.
AI receptionist. Iconic and ironic.
I spent a few days in Kyoto and have enough photos to flood the blog. But there were only 3-4 things that truly shocked me and they were not the ancient temples, the kimono, or the alphabet.
First was the rotating seats in the train. Simple and clever. Why do we not have that?
Second was the smart toilet and shower. Waking up at 2am personal time was only possible because of the steamy waterfall in the bathroom that I could unleash with a button.
Third was the cleanliness everywhere. It is not an easy task to not have a single piece of garbage anywhere. Requires a society that can do it.
I hope to come back with more time to explore.
