After the shrine we still weren't ready to head back so we decided to head out shopping in the Gion District. The city lit up now has the appearance of a decent city. We move around the shops for a couple of hours but the humidity is just too much. When we ocassionally find an a/c vent we have to hang out for a few minutes to cool down. The Japanese tolerance for humidity and heat is amazing. We've seen girls layered in shawls, boots, fur lined jackets and complain it's too hot and remove a glove to cool off. Unfortunately, they have zero tolerance for cold and their a/c in hotels is stuck on vent or 80 degrees (probably their coldest setting). Everyday we pour out sweat within an hour of walking around. We do notice that things are somewhat less expensive here in Kyoto vs. Tokyo. Not by much.
