This is the fekking coolest use of a Nintendo DS yet

OK, I have no clue what you just said - explain a little...

Well, they are pretty sparse on the details, but apparently in this hall/temple Shigureden in Kyoto city, they have created a new Nintendo floor, where it has a bunch of the imperial figures, poets, singers of yesteryears, and it provides a download service for your Nintendo DS. Using your Nintendo DS, you can peruse pictures of these culturally important figures, read their poems, listen to their compositions and songs, etc.

thats kool shit right there.

I want to go to Kyoto. Well I wanted to before but now even moreso.

Very cool. Do you have to bring your own, or do they loan them out?

ahhh i wish they had this when i was in japan over the summer.

anyways kyoto is just an amazing city,and that is a really cool use of the ds.
