Recommencing the broadcast

Yeah yeah, I know, it's been a long time since I last did anything in this bit of webspace.

Well, I'm pretty well settled into Shanghai, by now, and life here is fantastic. But! It's not time to tell that story yet. I've got catching up to do, so I'm going to tell the rest of Japan now, then get to Korea, although Korea might be slightly abbreviated, depending on my mood.

Where we last left off, I was leaving from Osaka towards destinations further west, and my first stop was going to be Himeji.

Excuse us for this brief intermission

Internet in Shanghai has been a bit shoddy for a bit, but things are getting better. Expect updates recommencing within a few days!

Osaka Sucks

I'm putting up the stories about Osaka right now also, because I don't know when I'll next get a chance, and I'd rather get it out sooner rather than later. For those who're just checking now, there's also a second day of Kyoto below, so don't skip it!

Osaka

By the way

I don't know who all is reading this blog, at this point, but if any of you want postcards, just email me with your address, and you'll get them from time to time!

Kyoto part 2

Well, I've had substantially less internet access than I thought I would, so this has just gotten out of hand. But I'm putting up several posts in the next few days, to catch up with being in Korea; whether or not I'll be able to put up any more updates after this weekend is up in the air; I'm going to China, and a lot of websites are blocked in China, including this one, as of the last time I checked. There might be some way for me to get around it, we'll see.

Anyway, for now, Kyoto part 2:

Kyoto to the mizznax pt. I

Currently, I’m onboard a bus to Seoul; I’m about two weeks behind in stories on my blog, so I’m going to start including multiple days of travelling per entry, organized by city.

So, where last we left off, I was in Kyoto, having marveled at its pine-lined labyrinthine secrets, but not actually doing all that much.

Leaving Fuji

Tuesday began rather innocuously. I got up as late as I could, checked out, and realized I had lost a towel somewhere in the shuffle, my UCSD towel. Kinda sad to have missed it, as it was one of the few things I had with me that showed where I came from, but life goes on. I signed up for a shuttle to take me to the nearest bus station, which would be used to take me on to Kyoto, and did my laundry. I saw a couple of blonde girls that were getting ready to take the shuttle as well; soon we found out we were going in the same direction, so we coupled our fates together for a spell, and got breakfast together while waiting for the bus to Kyoto.
