GTS visited Rits Alumni Association office in the morning to arrange its peace museum visit on 7/4 on which students plans to have a chance to go through "Anti-Vietnam War poster exhibit."
Rits Alumni Association office along with its law school is located at the Nijo Station of JR/City Subway. GTS and his partner are both Rits Alumni and got to know with each other first at Rits Chicago Alumni Assocition Dinner.
Students experienced lunch at another college cafeteria at Rits before heading to the Golden Pavilion. Some students stopped by at the college logo store before meal. 15-minute walk took us to the Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji temple) which shines and reflects itself on the pond to welcome us to Kyoto. Despite the fact that the rainy season (Tsuyu) began a few days ago, it was quite lucky for us to walk through the temple with sunshine! Visitors threw coins to every possible place as if it gives them some good fortune in their life! That's kind of a bad habit brought from the West, yet certainly makes the temple happy to gain "unexpected" donation from even Japanese visitors! Remember, temples are the tax exempt institutions!!. No wonder the Golden Pavilion keeps itself covered with gold leaves!!!
