Since I'm in the thick of packing up and trying to finish out my last week here, I'll go over what me and my two fellow Japan troopers have been up to all week!
2 days in Kyoto, including visiting a vintage jazz coffeeshop listening to 33's (whatever those are...), customizable curry shop, temples, botanical gardens, and traditional craft museums
1 day in Osaka's downtown shopping districts, Shinsaibashi and Namba, with lots of interesting clothes buying, traditional Japanese okonomiyaki, and lots of tacky pictures, followed by a dinner and all you can drink with my friends ending up with Mom and Ms. Skipper being stuck without a train in the middle of the Japanese night!
1 day in Nara, watching the deer, finding some less popular and beautiful in their remoteness mountain temples, as well as meeting lots of English speakers and enjoying Japanese bento
Today was spent visiting a local cafe, walking up and down Denden Town and finding some good deals for Ms. Skipper, finding Universal Citywalk and shopping at Hard Rock, with a final dinner at Bubba Gump's! I almost forgot which country I was in!
So I hope the ladies have enjoyed their last week, because I know it's definitely been one of the top 3, if not the best week here! Lots of souvenir shopping and finding some good deals, which I thought was almost impossible here!
Once I get home and get my thoughts and pictures organized I'll probably add some more detail, but for now just a summary and a few pictures!
Just came to say hi,
