  I have to say I tangled with the section chief in our office last Friday,so I had been depressing about the matter that day.I felt blue and I was worried about my future in my company...but I went out because I guessed I would feel down if I'm at home.I should move forward with my life.
  
  

  
  
  
  I went to the national museum of modern art in Kyoto (京都市国立近代美術館) to see Renoir's exhibition on 15th of this month,it was a soooo good experience!!!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  ...Needless to say,she's not me!
  
  
  
  
  
  This building named " Kyoto Kaikan(京都会館) " which is the concert hall,many of artists and theatrical companies give a public performance at this hall.They have two halls.This brings back memories...I remember that I used to see some concerts and live performances,such as B'z,Takashi Utsunomiya(宇都宮隆),The News Paper,Janne Da Arc at this hall!
  
  
  
  
  
  The very big torii gate caught my eye. Many of people who are there took some pics of it...
  
  
  
  
  
  For your information,Kyoto municipal zoo(京都市動物園) is near here,I heard that it's the second oldest zoo in Japan.I have been there when I was a child,probably...but I don't remember about that.I wanted to go to there,but I had no time,because I spent much time in the museum...
  
  
  
  
  I went to Heian Jingu Shrine(平安神宮).Heian Jingu Shrine has been a well known one of Kyoto's biggest tourist attraction,so of course I saw many people visit there this day...Yes,this area is always thronged with tourists!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  As I said before,these are called Temizuya(手水舎).I had ever seen the dragon's statues some times at temples which I had visited...But this time,there was the statues like this!
  
  
  
  
  
  I heard that this is the statues of white tiger...I'm ashamed to say,I don't know why,but I thought this isn't a tiger,but bear cub when I first saw this...haha
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  I felt like the shrine has the commodious premises,but there aren't much to look at...
  
  On the night,I had met with two friends of mine after all these years,enjoyed our meal and karaoke.We had a great time! I think they released my stress!!!
