I am posting from my hostel in Tokyo! Tonight is our last night here, and tomorrow night I will be catching the night bus to arrive in Kyoto at approximately 6 am on Saturday morning. We're staying at a youth hostel called the Khaosan Samurai, which has proven to be very cheap, convenient, and clean. I will hopefully write an extended post about the trip including a description of the hostel, which I highly recommend, as well as all of our other activities, over the weekend so I can post it when I get back to Kansai Gaidai on Monday. Highlights include a visit to the Tokyo National Museum, meeting relatives, and numerous famous shrines and temples! I'm hoping that I will be able to visit Tokyo again sometime soon since it has been really cloudy and rainy pretty much every day since we got here, which was a letdown. Also laziness prevented us from seeing quite as much as I originally planned (i.e., getting to the Tsukiji Fish Market 20 minutes before it closes at noon (the peak hours are from 5-8 am) is not advisable since all that is left are fish guts). Still, I think it has been a successful spring break.
In the meantime I leave you with the following teasers!
Hopefully you also enjoyed the cherry-blossoms.
