Oh-pretty Temple and its Wishing Powers of Water

The three of us were very much pooped out by the end of the day, spending hours and hours admiring the famous temples in Kyoto. 

D and D - the cute couple, were also there to join us;  them having visited Tokyo for the first few days right after they got off Thai Airways. 

Our final destination for the day was Kyomizudera. Despite feeling under the weather and trudging up the steep, crowded slope like ducks waddling up a hill, our spirits shot up when we realised we WERE at the right place and at the right time!! That night, Kyomizudera was holding a Lights Display Show, illuminating the buddhist temples. 

Lo-and-behold, what surprise there was in store for us!

 We were in luck o(^^o)(o^^)o わくわく

Ta-Daaa!! Kyomizudera Temple having a Lights Display Show.I couldn't locate the source of that bright spotlight. AMAZING!

The Kyomizudera (Pure Water Temple) built on stilts that didn't make use of nails.AMAZING!!! 

The place was totally dark, with only certain points and structures being illuminated in the night. Tourists flocked to the Kyomizudera for a blessing of luck by drinking the water using a water scoop in the main hall of the temple. It is purportedly to grant whatever our heart desires. 

Well, according to one of my friends who visited a temple in Japan, she drank some water and wished for more money, had her wished granted. Once she came home to KL, she had no time to relax as there were jobs waiting for her! GO FIGURE =D


It is regrettable I did not have anything to wish for................ if only I was aware of its powers, I might have wished for a date with that really cute guy I saw dancing at Universal Studios Japan... Well, that's another story...AHAHA!!!!
