Planning Kyoto & Osaka trip (18th to 24th of Feb.)

Kyoto, Golden Pavilion (Temple) (all the thanks to the pic's rightful owner)

Kyoto, Thousand gates (all the thanks to the pic's rightful owner)

Me, Rachel and my roommate Ira wanted to travel a bit in Japan while we have our holidays and so decided to arrange a trip to Kyoto and Osaka area~ Pretty much what it means is we are gonna hangout couple days in each and see what's it like ^^ Because we didn't wanna put all our moneys in the trip we decided to use a shuttle bus (willerexpress) instead of shinkansen. The cheapest tickets from Tokyo to Kyoto/Osaka were 3,700 yen and it goes up to 10,000 or more if u want to extra service~ Our's were 9,500 yen round trip (Tokyo - Kyoto & Osaka - Tokyo) per person. And cause we didn't wanna pay for one extra night at the hotel (meaning we would have traveled through the day and then just slept one more night in the hotel) we took a night bus which would arrive to Kyoto at 7.30 am. ^^ So we kinda have one extra day for ourselves~ Also, u can pay the tickets in the nearest combini = convenience store (Family Mart or Lawson) with cash so u don't need a credit card^^

Osaka (all the thanks to the pic's rightful owner)

Also the hotels we split in 2 nights in Kyoto and then (probably with shinkansen to Osaka, cause well.. we wanna try that one too :D) 1 night in Osaka and 1 night in this awesome spa/onsen place called: Spa World (link here). There are different onsens, spas and saunas which all u can use with just an entrance-payment (2,700 yen for a whole day) (for saunas u have to pay 800 yen more). The time limit is from 10 am to the next mornings 8.45 am so u can stay the whole night there~ There is also restaurants, gym, resting area and swimming area with water slides. :)

The view from my friends house O.o

Everything sounds so great and hopefully we can see one of our friends who lives in Osaka too~ SO much to see and to do^^ And there is only 19 DAYS for KOREA!!! <3 Talked with my best friend yesterday (we didn't make a record or anything, cause only talked an hour and half but~) while at my other friends house (which is awesome I might add XD) and I was happy to find out that she liked my Valentine's gift that I sent her :)) (a jewelry, CD and a certain keychain~) You're welcome! <3 Hope my sister also gets her's soon cause I wanna hear what she likes the gift^^ And hope all my Valentine Day's cards are also reached everybody <3

And BTW thank you everyone, the blog's "viewer rating" just got over 3000 views :))

All the best,
Laura
