I went on a two-day trip to Kyoto with my friend this spring vacation. During this stay, I was impressed with a lot of the beauty of Kyoto and Japan: temples and shrines, kimonos, and the Kyoto dialect... everything had its own history, and they were mixed together. I stayed at a Minsyuku (a type of Japanese hotel) in Arashiyama which was run by a family, and the breakfast they made was awesome. First, I was surprised at the number of the dishes on the table and how colorful they were. All of them were of course delicious and well-balanced. While eating this great meal, I was thinking of how important breakfast is. I always eat breakfast every day, but I wasn't careful about nutrition: for example, a slice of toast and milk. I think it would be good to add some meat, vegetables and fruits so as to make my daily breakfast better. However, it is not so easy to make such a perfect breakfast every day for people, myself included. So I think we should understand the importance of breakfast and try to eat it in an effective way as often as possible.
