Lots to say and not much time to say it

November 17th, 2010 smmerc12

I’ve got to be one of the luckiest people in the world. My father flew all the way to Japan to visit me on my 21st birthday (of course, he stayed the week). I showed him around Tokyo (which he aptly called “Las Vegas on Crack”) and then we took the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Kyoto to see all of the stunning gardens, temples, shrines and castles. Kyoto is a bit further inland than Tokyo and houses all the fantasies a tourist could fathom coming to Japan. It did not disappoint.

Some pictures of Kyoto:

5 story pagoda

Nijo Castle

Imperial palace garden.

I have a super busy month! Midterms, club activities and trying to see more of Japan are keeping me fully occupied.

I’ll keep you posted!
