Turkish Ice cream!?

I am always wondering why he is there... I pass through him almost everyday when I go to work. I am not surprised anymore but some people (They are probably visitors I guess...) whisper staring at him.

He is in front of the variety store in the Teramachi arcade which is not far from our hotel. He is always stiring something with a long stick.

This is my question, Who is he?????

This is the guy I am talking about!!!

He sells Turkish Icecream in Kyoto. He has a big pot filled up with ice cream. I have never tried it but I am very curious about him, not about Turkish Ice cream. I heard that Turkish Ice cream is sticky and has to be stired.

Anyway, I have seen only a few people who bought it even though I have ever passed through him many times. How can he maitain his small ice cream store? Is he a real Turkish? Where is he from? Why does he sell Turkish Ice cream in such a normal arcade? What is his ambition?

I have a lot of questions but I don't have courage to speak to him. So, this is still mystery.

Please someone talk to him and tell me the answers!!

Turkish ice cream is 300 yen. If you are a student, you can get student discount!

Let's try Turkish Ice cream in Kyoto and be a friend with him:)

Travel to another city

I went to small trip to FUKUI prefecture last weekend. for Fukui I leave Kyoto at 11am I arrive there about 2pm by car. I have never been there before this is my first time. I live in kyoto city so I do not have so many chance to watch sea so I really enjoy driving the sea front . Fukui is very famous for sea food and hot spring. The weather is very cold when I was there so hot spring was really nice to keep me warm after the hot spring I had seafood. on the way hope I still feel warm because of the hot spring . I could really enjoy and relax on this small trip. From Kyoto station to Fukui station is 1hour and half by Shinkansen.
