three men. one kyoto

We traveled via BulletTrain to Kyoto on Tuesday. It was amazing because its basically a plane on a track. The inside was very comfortable and it took us all of 2 hours to get from Tokyo to Kyoto... which I think is about San Fran to Los Angeles. Dont quote me on that though.

Finding our hostel was a little adventure because we didnt have Briana to help us around. We also decided to walk to it instead of riding the bus. With the help of some directions Trav had and a nice 7/11 clerk who busted out an Atlas to help us, we found it. Our hostel is basically a house. We are staying in the attic. Awesome. Our bed is a mat, on the floor, but its rather comfortable. Once we got our barrings straight, we headed out for a night on the town, Japan Style. Near the hostel is a really busy area with stores and food places. Thats where we went. We went to a bowling alley. That was legit. And then a pub. Its funny cause 21 means nothing to the Japanese, so telling them it was Travs birthday meant nothing. But we kept him safe. and we all made it back that night.

Briana met us in Kyoto today (Wednesday morning). We went to a ton of temples. Being that its real humid here, and that we walked a lot, we are all totally dead and its nap time now. We are going to head back out in a bit.

Hope everyone is well. Nothing bad has happened to us yet so thats a good thing! Til next time. Kampi (cheers)
