I just arrived in Kyoto. I took the Nozomi – the fastest kind of shinkansen – which took just over 2 hours from Shinagawa station. I’ll be here for at least the next 4 days…
My last few days in Tokyo were interesting. It was nice to be able to explore the city a bit while being free of work (last Friday was my last day.) Highlights were finding the Pink Cow, a bar run by an ex-Californian, finally making it to a public bath (I think this one was an onsen but I’m not positive), and locating a geocache in a suburban park with an AWESOME fountain.
Hopefully I’ll have a chance to blog about those things in detail (and upload some photos) but not now. My priorities while travelling are:
- having adventures!
- planning upcoming adventures.
- documenting past adventures.
The train trip to Kyoto was barely long enough to do #2. Every adventure needs downtime so there will be time for #3 eventually. Just not now :)
