Kyoto!!!

So after our lovely trip to Kumamoto.. we took the train.... for 18 hours to Kyoto... what a trip.. it took forever to get there.. In the process I caught a cold.. I guess it's true when you're running on no sleep and you have a really hard and arduous trip, you catch a cold easily!

So anyway, we finally got to Kyoto at about midnight after waking up at 6:30 a.m. and leaving Kumamoto at 7 a.m., and stayed in a love hotel because they're cheaper than regular hotels and you don't need a reservation... We tried to find the least sketchy one we could but come on.. its a LOVE hotel.. he he he We found a nice one though... and crashed.. immediately...

We woke up @ about 10 a.m. the next day and set out for our "Power-Sightseeing.." We only had a few hours in Kyoto and we wanted to see as much as we could. We didn't care how cold it was, or how sick we were.. we were in Kyoto dammit and we were gonna see the sights!

That was our downfall for the next few weeks to come as we caught.. well I should say I caught probably the worst cold I've ever had.. that lasted for three weeks.

Anyway, power-sightseeing.. Yeah so we went to about 3 shrines and shopping and ate dinner and went to Gion which is the old entertainment district in Kyoto in about.... 7 hours.. it was uneblievable. Not to mention the fact that it was New Years season (which in Japan lasts from the 31st to about the 5th).. so it was sooooo crowded with tourists and stuff.. it was insane. It was so rough.. and it was soooooooo COLD!!!! I literally felt like I was gonna die... but hey.. at least I would die knowing that I saw Kyoto in all its winter glory.. he he he

Anyway, Blogger won't let me post anymore photos today because I've posted almost a hundred already today trying to update this blog. So I'll post the Kyoto pics later.

The thing I'm looking forward to now after our vacation is over, is my DJ debut coming up on the 12th.. I'm soooo nervous!
