Why I chose Kyoto

-
I chose Kyoto because I've always loved Japanese culture, its so different from our lifestyle. I feel like they have a lot more meaning to how they live their life, we do things because its easier not because its the traditional way. I'm also obsessed with the landscapes in Japan, I think cherry blossoms are so beautiful, and the mountains are just not the same as here in Canada. I've always wanted to live there ever since I knew what Japan was. It looks like a happier place there, its my dream to be able to live and be happy there.
