wowow. i haven't updated the whole time i've been in Kyoto, and we leave tomorrow. oops. this isn't going to be the most thrilling update because i'm tired and hung over as fuck. sorry, gma.
so i've pretty much loved the shit out of Kyoto. it is a more relaxed version of Tokyo and a more authentic Japanese experience. the weather has been absolutely beautiful. the hostel we have been staying in is epic, and the people are really fucking cool. veryyyy central to everything. central kyoto is a hop skip and a jump away from our door step.
we spent the first couple of days looking around Kyoto and checking out crappy tourist bullshit hot spots. i get soooooo sick of looking at temples and shrines. it's bad because obviously that's what we are here for, whatevzzz. we went to Hiroshima on Thursday, which was sad but amazing. the city is heaps different to what i thought it would look like. we had our own personal tour guide take us around. went to epicentre of the bomb explosion, which was heaps cray cray. had a few wines on the riverbank, which then continued on to a Spanish restaraunt. came back to Kyoto quite late, and had an early.
yesterday we did a few day trips to see some shrines and whatevz. didn't really pay much attention. last night we recruited a whole bunch of people from our hostel, and went to a karaoke joint. sosososo much fun, but i think we're all paying for it today. woke up heaps late, and went op shopping. the clothes here amaze me. i wish vintage was this cool in Australia. ate heaps. came back to the hostel. i just came back from walking around the markets.
i'm really sad to be leaving Japan tomorrow night, mostly because we have to go to shitty Malaysia for a few days. it has been the most incredible holiday everrrr. i know i'll come back here sometime soonsies with my Dan-yell. speaking of, fuck, i can't wait to see him. two weeks of not seeing him has actually killed me.
i'll probably spend most of my time on the internet in KL because i wont want to do anything else other than go to Top Shop.
Grandma, i'll call when i get home. loveeeeee x
