Hai!
Hello. I am currently in Kyoto. I am so into Japan. I seriously love the culture, the people, food and basically everything. The respect that everyone has for one another and the just the way people are here is amazing. Everyday I fall in love with it even more. I realize I haven't been blogging too much, sorry for that. But I want to see so much here and I kinda fell out of the habit of making time to blog. But I will try to get back in the swing, just for you guys. I will catch you up to speed though. I had a great time in Tokyo. By far the coolest city I have ever been to. And so clean. Made Singapore look sloppy almost, and that place was pristine. I have been working on my Japan a lot. I can get through a day without speaking english, but sometimes I think I lead on like I know more Japanese than I do because they start speaking really fast to me and I panic and don't know how to ask them to slow down. But each day I am learning more and more. I love it. The food here is unreal. I love that if you are walking around the streets too and you get a little hungry, you can just walk into a service station and get a fat bowl of white rice. Theres a ton of tasty treats in there. I eat there often. I usually eat service station food for breakfast and lunch then splurge on dinner. Sometimes I splurge on lunch and have a servo-dinner. Just depends. The beer here is remarkable too. I am limiting myself though. So much liquid beer is no bueno. I feel so healthy here. Anyway Tokyo was amazing and then I took an overnight bus (which was insanely comfortable and nice as well as cheap) to Kyoto. Kyoto is really cool. I have been checking out the landscape and the only castles and temples. It is the most excited I have been to visit historical monuments. I get so excited thinking that I am walking in the same place where Samurais and Shoguns once walked. The rock gardens as well as the scenic gardens are so cool here too. Well everything is cool here. But yea. Basically this is my favorite place in the world I have been so far. I don't know what could beat this. I will just have to keep my mind open. Anyway I am going to Osaka tomorrow and need to figure out what my sleeping situation is, so yup! Bye bye!
