Konichiwa from Kyoto. Took a 12am flight from Saigon, landed 4 hours later in Osaka at 7am and then struggled to figure out how to get train to Kyoto. From the Kyoto train station hailed a cab to get to a very nice hotel.
We took a power nap and spent the rest of the afternoon walking about the city center and getting lost down the many shopping arcades. The street names are all very long and all seem the same but we managed to find our way back to the hotel.
Japan and Vietnam, light years away from each other. The weather is different. The clothes are different. The traffic is different. Everything. In Vietnam, finding a toilet and not a hole with toilet paper was a victory. In Japan, the toilet seat is heated, it flushes itself, and you have the option to use it as a bidet. Amazing.
One more day here and the we're on a Friday morning bullet train to Toyko.
