Japan trip 2 day 5
Today started well successfully posted my shopping off to Melbourne day was looking good, then... I packed up my stuff locked my bag and the lock jammed, I knew the code as it was the same one I had used last trip and in Perth and generally knew it since every day I opened and closed it!! 1 - seto 6 - hakkai 9 - me this code only makes sense to me!! It won't open!! My medicines in there ok so now I'm freaking out surprisingly not as much had this happened at home ( where people actually speak my language) it seems they're going to get chain cutters yea, it's a thick lock.
So the kind old man came and cut the lock, and then bowed to me and walked away I shouted thank u at him (arigato) as he walked away, I felt bad why was he bowing at me? I owed him, anyhow.
I went to the station and found a lock in the first shop I asked in for ¥1050 I bet it'll be twice as good as my stupid Australian one that was $40! Dodgy piece of shit!!!
Anyway now I'm on the train to Kyoto with a list of things to do today :) I already know where I'm staying but because i haven't paid yet I need to make my spending budget a little tighter for the next 2 days. No shopping today :(
On the way the area reminds me of spirited away, when they're driving up the mountains, it's really lovely. As were moving along I saw a sports centre sponsored by Meiji a maker if japanese sweets. Next to it was a brown building shaped like chocolate (I fucking kid u not) I didn't get a photo of it!! I saw it and then it was too late I might go on the train to Kyoto when I am back in osaka just to get a pic!
When I arrived at my inn I was greeted with aircon and ice water which was very much appreciated. I can't get into my room until 3pm which is a bit annoying usually wouldn't bother me but I am short on cash and un sunscreamed so If I walk to far I'll burn if I spend too much I won't eat dinner hahaha what a pickle.
So I wondering around Kyoto and ended up at Kyoto tower, think Tokyo tower but less epic and interior more like a bunker lol. It was nice either way and I took some ripping pictures of the view. (which will be posted when i have a pc again) There was a giant (probably buhda) Statue way off that I could see and I could see the spot in the mountains that they burn the big kanji into the mountain! Sadly I won't be in Kyoto when that happens :(
I then wondered down and spoke to a lovely man who asked me where I was from and if I liked kyoto he was very kind as he held the lift for me.
I then headed to a shopping center attached to Kyoto station for window shopping in search of my beloved usagi shop.
The usagi shop is still there (rabbit shop) and I brought some more badges they're sooo cuuuute <333 rabbits are my favorite animal (birds aren't an animal, they're birds) and this shop doesn't sell anything that doesnt have a usagi on it XD
Here are he badges aren't they cuuute??
I wanted to take a photo but I wanted to be polite and ask first the lady asked me not to take one and so I didn't, I understand.
After that I wondered around the shopping centre for a bit and wondered into a kids section when I saw these, it's like Japans version of Lego!
I really want to get into my room and have a shower and change, I had lunch in a smoker/non smoker cafe. These are very common, and although I have nothing against people destroying their lungs I dislike the smell ALOT especially when it's on me! so now my cloths reek X| bluer want a shower and a washing machine.
I finally got into my room aircon yay! Washing machine yay!
Had to wait an hr to get a seat where I wanted to eat but when I did get a seat it was the exact same as last time ^_^ in front of the colour changing panel :)
They have an english menu so it's easy to order OMG I cant wait to eat this place is soo worth the wait!! Oh and theyre smart cause it's the pny place I've been to that gives u a cold towel haha sooo refreshing ~_~
Omfg that was good I am so full!!!
I ate too quickly and now I feel sick ;_; ah well, no dessert for me tonight.
