seichanI should put these posts on my personal blog rather than my fandom journal, but I can't remember my password, since I am not on my normal pc. Ah well.
I'm currently in Kyoto. The plane ride was uneventful and the food from United was just as bad as it was when I went to Korea 3 years ago (I'm glad we got ANA on the way back). The KIX to Kyoto travel was pretty easy. We got the JR Haruka Limited tickets for foreigners (show your passport & return flight printout) for 2,000 yen. We are staying at the Citadines which is a 10 minute walk from the Kyoto Station. It's a half a block from McD's and couple blocks from the main touristy road in the Karasuma area. It's a very new-ish and highly recommended place. 6+1+11+2=>20 hours travel time. Time to blackout before having fun tomorrow. (Oh and the exchange rate in the US was about 10% lower compared to what was offered in KIX.)
