Thank you Jaed.

> your girl probably is thinking about the life in a place were she can stay away from the noisy day life

I also guess so. Near the centre of Kyoto, the Kamo river is providing a place to stay away from the noisy day life for the people of Kyoto. I think that it's just same as the Yuigahama beach in Kamakura, though no one can surf on the Kamo river.....
