Yesterday, as Bob and I searched a hilly area in Eastern Kyoto for a funky Japanese teahouse that I HAD to go to, this rickshaw dude offered his services. I said - "are ya sure you want to carry us?" and he replied "Oh yes, I am very strong". We figured it would be okay, since we had just seen a Sumo wrestler going around in one. The rickshaw ride definitely outed us for all of Kyoto; a few shopkeepers that saw us passing by lost their cool repose completely, hiding their laughter behind their hands. Ah well, at least we got to the teahouse on time. And then we left the whole experience behind by going to the Zen garden at Kohaiji temple.
