Kyoto has these 11 things:
1. Trees that look like they're about to explode.
2. Smiling eighty year-olds on bikes.
3. Giggling geisha.
4. Dancing Care Bears.

5. Darkened alleyways that are both clean and safe.
6. Mysterious black cats and curious black birds that follow you in empty parks.
7. Restaurants on the 10th floors of office buildings that let you fry as much as you want tempura-style at your table for 90 minutes. Plus a button that you push for beer.
8. Sushi bars full of German backpackers.
9. Hidden design shops that sell books full of music suggestions for rainy Sundays.
10. Temples that you must traverse shoeless.
11. The feeling that dozens of happy ghosts float delicately on the breeze.
