My lucky (first) day in Kyoto
It was an unexpected encounter.
I reached Kyoto on Saturday morning and checked in to Anteroom as soon.
I was walking out from Anteroom, and I had no concrete idea where to go first. So I just walked along the street until I saw a Japanese uncle busy attending to his plant by the road
side. I went up and started talking to him, asking silly questions. Ha, we weren't even understood everything we talked to each other. Then he invited me to his house to show me a bit of tea ceremony.
His wife too a kind person, and suggested him to send me when I told
them I wanna go to a cafe next. He insisted to send me by car, but first
to a tea house drinking green tea (he paid for the tea), then tried
his best to ask for direction for the cafe I wanted to go.
His wife was right, I was lucky that day. :)

The
Japanese uncle shared with me about tea ceremony at his house foyer.
That's his wife in the kitchen at the back.
I shall go back to find them
when I go to Kyoto again.
Lucky for you to meet such hospitable locals.
