Japan days 3-4: Kyoto ("my god, it's full of shrines")
We'd been encouraged to stay at a ryukan if we had the opportunity and it's a recommendation I'll happily pass along.

Intacto. Remember when I ranted last year about how fucking great Donnie Darko was and everyone went "Donnie who?" and then six months later you all collectively took some shitty acid while someone else played for you this amazingly orchestrated little mindfuck that broke your brain?
