Also my apologizes for not having any blog posts lately. I severely underestimated the amount of walking/traveling involved with this trip. AKA I am a tired Tenchi. But a happy one that will try to blog...something at least.
Behold the view from our hotel in Kyoto.
On Day Two of our trip we really didn't have a set plan. We were really jet lag and I didn't want to push it or waste a cool destination on us being tired. So all of these things are around the Hotel Gimmond Kyoto. Everything is within walking distance. And walking distance in Japan (and for people who are in shape) is 25 minutes of where ever you is. Okay. Enjoy our random pictures around Kyoto.
This was our hotel key. Each time we left the building we had to turn the key in. X__X Made me feel sorta bad bugging them all the time.
This small shrine was right next to our hotel. X__X Weird I know. All these huge buildings and businesses on either side and BAM here is a shrine.
But that was the fun part of Kyoto, the old really mixing in with the new. Saw a few people visit this shrine from time to time.
First vending machine purchase. And yes vending machines are EVERYWHERE! But we have only seen drink and cigarette ones so far. This drink wasn't really juice or soda. Almost like both.
Small house behind the hotel. A lot of houses on this street were combination houses and business. So little room to park your car.
This is what all the top of the streets look like. A complicated mess of wires and suchies.
The Japanese are very serious about their trash and separating it. Makes me worried I will mess it all up or something.
At least I will not starve. But ordering in a country where you can't speak the language AND you are a picky eater is fun. Pointing does not always ensure you will get what you wanted.
Hello Kitty pops up randomly at places. Not as often as I thought she was going to though. One is more likely to see something One Piece than Hello Kitty.
Some shopping centers are connected to subway systems or otherwise underground. This particular shopping center had a lot of kimonos.
It's like a scene from an anime! XD I have been saying that a lot lately, very dorky am I.
This is where most of the shopping action was. Huge long roads that intersection and leave you feeling confused.
And inside said shopping arcade was at least 5 different types of shrines and temples. Right next to the shoes and the noodle shops. X__X.
But after a while one gets used to the amount of shrines/temples around Kyoto.
Found a little anime shop. Places like to hang up pictures of things that they don't really have in their shops. Like everyone has the K-On!! petit nendoroid poster but WHERE ARE THEY?!
I love how this machine did the entire process so efficiently and cute. XD
The animes do not lie, crepes are extremely popular here. Actually pastries in general are super popular. It is noodle shops and pastry shops everywhere.
The KFC's do not have mashed potatoes so I hate them.
I think that is enough random pictures. I will try to post Day 3 soon. Thanks for stopping by!
