Matsumoto Hotel Kagetsu

... nuestro caso la soledad, que contrasta enormemente con la visión de los gigantescos edificios que lo rodean. <br><br>Podríamos destacar el estanque de "Shioiri-no-ike" cuya agua es salada y se extrae de la bahía mediante un sistema de exclusas. En el estanque y conectado con un bello puente de madera (118 metros) está la isla de "Nakajima-no-ochaya" donde el que lo desee puede acercarse a la casa ...

... some money on cab fare. Hopefully I can remember to ride on the left side of the street and the other vehicles remember to do the same. I'm also hoping that the rumors of English-speaking guides are true.<br><br>Adjusting my expectations... I had thought I'd zip through the castle and get to Kyoto early. Probably not. Everything takes longer than you think.

... und dann noch in die Einkaufstüte, od** das Toilettenpapi** ist einzeln in Plastik od** Papi** v**packt... And****seits sind jetzt sogenannte Eco - Bags d**zeit hi** d** totale Renn** - wobei das wohl eh** so ne Mode**scheinung zu sein scheint. <br>Dann hab ich noch Sake Dosen mit unt**schiedlichen Geschmacksrichtungen gefunden (Japanische Alkopops sozusagen ^_^).

... br>lol...but i have also a lot of experiences in the other way...here examples...<br><br>hitchhiking...quite easy, even as japanese never do it...funny thing is they invite you to food or give you money...almost always... i refuse always three times, and then i take what they want to get rid of...funny behavior, theoretically it schould be possible to earn money that way.<br><br>Otherwise japan is nice, very clean, not as ultramodern as you might think, also it seems that ...

... ones were burning hot. It was very relaxing and you could see a nice view of the valley and the monkeys hopping about around you. As we were right at the bottom of the valley we could see people really high above us but they couldnt see us very well, which was only a good thing. We then went back to the park and stayed for a while longer before getting the bus and train to Nagano, the main city of that ...

... The Japanese students asked us questions, and we asked the Japanese students questions. They were all anonymous, which was nice. The questions ranged from what is your favorite foods to do you think we speak english well, to "would you ever date a Japanese person?" It was great to see how curious our new friends had become and it was amazing to realize how much we don't really know about each others cultures. Although the Japanese are ...

... about each others culture. There were so many questions, confusion, and I think in the end, a bit of enlightenment. I still don't understand the culture completely and feel as if I never will. I don't think an outsider is privileged to such information. Regardless, I think our talk formed a strong bond and I hope we have more like it in the future.

As the title suggests, I really shouldn't have gone to Kamikochi today. It didn't bode well from the start--I forgot my maps and guides and the driver was particularly worried about me and lack of clothes, as it was SNOWING up in Kamikochi. Which I didn't really appreciate the severity of because from Matsumoto even the tallest hills didn't have any snow on the ground and though Kamikochi is a mile above sea level, it's a valley between two parallelt taller mountain ranges ...

... garden complex. Quite like the one in Matsuyama, is a bit bigger, but the grounds are less reconstructed. But since it was pouring rain, I didn't actually go into the castle as the sights of the surrounding area would probably have consisted of fog and gray. After the drive by touring, wandered Nakamachi for an hour, intimidated by being only 1 of the few people out and about and also ambivalent about the ceramics and artwork. Maybe I'm ...
