Kyoto

As of now I'm going to be posting more shorter entries and not always include pictures. This way I can give you all a quick peek when I feel like it instead of grudgingly sitting down to edit and upload lots of pictures and then sit around typing a great long entry...


Anyhoo, I went to Kyoto yesterday with my Nihon-go Partners and two of my friends. After arriving we had a nice lunch of Italian food (what else?) and then proceeded to hit an arcade.

From there we went to do some actual sightseeing. Kyoto is literally riddled with temples and shrines, all of which are beautiful. Pictured is the creme of the crop, so to speak. Great big thing with amazing architecture and a fantastic view. Not long after arriving however the light began to quickly fail. Homeward bound we went.


Today I went to Umeda with my buddy Jared. We did some shopping (I have some gifts now) and then got supper before looking for an arcade. We found a few and had some fun.

I'm currently out of school for a 2-week break, and I'll be back home in less than a month. Crazy...

Hey Andy,
Looks like your having a great time there. Just got found the website today. I enjoyed reading your blogs. I think my site seeing would have ended if I went to the Tokyo game show. In order for me to leave that show, they would have had to escort me out of there. Enjoy your last month there! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year(I think you have about a 12hr head start too?).

Very nice photo. Somehow it seems weird, you eating Italian food in Japan. Not sure why though. We eat all sorts of foods here.

I ate Chinese food (spelled Cinese) in Italy... twice. :P

Their architecture there is so cool!

Glad to hear you are going to write more. I was getting worried that something happened to you! I'm still thinking slide show...(AKA power point) Maybe spring break? It's 60 outside here today, the grass is all green....it feels like spring break already!
