Trip to Kyoto and Kobe

From 23th to 30th of March, our friends from Niigata visited Honjo. And then we, altogether, had spent our vacation in Kyoto and Kobe. Before we went there, we dropped by Tokyo to say hello to Cambodian friends who are studying at National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS). At night we took night bus to Kyoto. Thanks to our friends there who provided us an accommodation and guided us some famous places, temples, shrines and food in Kyoto. In Kyoto, we also had a chance to spend our dinner with Japanese family who had worked in Cambodia for couple years ago. Coincidentally, we also celebrated our 1 year engagement anniversary there. After 2 days in Kyoto, we extended our holiday to Kobe. Our friends there also actively escorted us to experience in Kobe. Finally, we took a night bus from Kobe to Tokyo.

3.14 is a White Day

In Japan, Valentine’s Day is considered as the day that female presents a chocolate gifts as well as others to male. On the other hand, White Day is another day that Japanese celebrate to response to Valentine’s Day. On the While Day, men should pay back the women who gave them chocolate gifts.

According to Wikipedia, White Day was first celebrated in 1978 in Japan. It was started by the National Confectionery Industry Association.

To me, this is the first time to see such day. However, I forget to prepare something for my fiancee who want to get a set of make-up from me. I shall give her later on.
