Last month I went to Kyoto, and it was wonderful. The best part was visiting the old temples — they were so beautiful and peaceful. The food was amazing too. The only problem was the crowds; some places were very busy. But overall, it was a fantastic trip, and I'd love to go again next spring. How was your last trip?
