Farewell Kyoto
You may have noticed that the blog name has changed to Japan2019 - thanks Unnamed (Sharon or Rachael?) for your sharp eye.
Today I check out of my little pod to which I have become very attached. There are 38 pods on my 'women only' floor, in the space of about 20m x 25m including the bathroom (see floor plan attached - my pod is E07). A very efficient and clever way of accommodating people. Nobody talks - all I hear is slippered feet and screen doors raising and lowering. It would never work with Kiwis and Ozzies!!
It's snowing lightly but not settling so I will walk to the train (about 3km) which will be good for me. I have just a backpack and my handbag, plus another bag now of my purchases. I did manage some normal shopping yesterday - H&M were having a sale - 3000Y or $40 for a pure wool jersey.
I'll let you know how the Kabuki goes. Satoko from the Toda office is taking me and she has never been either.
NB: You may not have noticed a post of additional photos from Kyoto. Check it out.

Enjoy the theatre experience. Be prepared for a significant increase in temp when you get back. It's stifling here. xx
ReplyDeleteYou're dead right, this kind of accommodation would never work in NZ our Aust - requires too much consideration. H&M indeed....Can't make up my mind whether it's a good idea to have a companion at your first Kabuki experience or not. Didn't notice the error in your Blog title...what was it? xxx
ReplyDeleteOh I see, you had the wrong year. How cares.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't seem to find the additional post with pix of Kyoto.
Enjoy your final night in Tokyo
