After a nice long nap to recover from the night before, we decided to make another trip to Doma Doma. This time, they brought out the White Russians out in beer mugs. They were delicious, and I had four of them. Yuya brought us this time. He is too cool to hang out with us though. He looks like a rockstar, he wears a sash, dangling earings and a deep v shirt, but he pulls everything off so well. We went home around 12:30 and packed for the trip to Kyoto the next morning via the bullet train. The train was nice, and there was lots of leg room. When we arrived in Kyoto, we made our way to the Hotel. The rooms are incredible, decent sized beds, private bathrooms, central air, and a T.V. The major draw back was the incredibly slow internet, which got much better by the way. After we got settled in, we went to Gion, this is the Geisha discrict in Kyoto. The is the cultural visit that I was responble for. The tour went ok, and wondering around the district later was even better. We saw a Geisha, which apparently doesnt happen very often. There are only around 1000 geisha left. After that we made our way back to the hotel and took the night off. I really like the Kyoto, but the night life seems to be lacking compared to Tokyo.
