So I said "hiatus"...

[aide]

But I'm not really since I'm updating now.  But I'm beat so I'm not going to write much -- especially since I'm going to write another 3hr entry about the whole trip when I get home so I don't want to ruin any surprises.  

Kyoto is gorgeous and amazing and I wish I had the time and money to wander around Pontocho and Gion more but it's fucking hot as hell.  Hotter than hell.  They aren't lying when they say Kyoto has the worst summers in Japan.  So bad in fact that Justin fainted today.  I have never been so scared in my whole life.  I had no idea what to do.  I really should take a first aid course when I get back to Canada or find one here.  I wonder if the Red Cross does courses in English in Japan.  Luckily it was just a bit of overheating and not heat stroke or anything serious.  But he smashed his leg pretty hard when he fell on the bench and it's still hurting him.  He hit his thigh so I don't think anything could be broken; it's probably just a really deep bruise.  Jen?  Any ideas?  In any case, he can laugh at himself and the situation so that's good.  And of course I took a picture afterwards, like he would expect from me.  

Kansai has such great food, I'm really living in the wrong part of the country.  Tomorrow we're hitting up Osaka -- Dotounbori and Osaka Castle, I think.  :D

I still think you're lying. No Jyanni's bootlegs for you.

You know i'm lying. That's the whole point. When do you get back?

We get into Tokyo Station around 5am on Thursday. I should be getting home around 6:30am. Hopefully I'm able to sleep on the train so that I don't have to pass out as soon as I get there.

Jesus woman. Just sleep and log on later. I want you alive, not dead.
