Final day in Kyoto, we woke up early and grabbed some grub. We would need our energy for the last minute travel and omiage buying. We dropped into Kyoto Tower where the massive shopping spree began. In case I haven't mentioned, omiage are presents for people. So little souvenirs and treats. By this point I had bought few omiage for my friends and family at home, so the pressure was on me to buy as much as possible. An hour, and a significant amount of yen down, I walked away with several gifts I was very happy with. But also, I walked away with a new Shinsengumi happi, I was now fully satisfied with my trip to Kyoto. Nothing too funny occurred afterwards. We rode a rickshaw in an attempt to feel authentically stereotypical, and made friends with our driver/runner. Following this, we headed to Kinkaku-ji to see the golden temple. After this we left at full speed to Kyoto Station to catch our Shinkansen.That's all I have to say except that on a train back in Tokyo, we saw a man who was laying down across several seats and was sleeping. Because it was crowded, someone called a train worker for help. The train worker attempted to lift the man Kevin Costner style from Bodyguard, but found the man too heavy. So instead the train worker, still supporting the man's legs and head, shook the man like a british nanny shaking a noisy child.
Its a short one I know, but I've quite a few posts to catch up on, and nothing TOO interesting happened on this day. However I want to thank the Valley chan for taking this trip with me, it would've been rather dull otherwise.
