So first things first: I should warn you to expect lighter updates for the next week. We’re traveling in Kyoto and I didn’t take my laptop, so all posts until we’re back in Tokyo are going to be written on my phone.
But speaking of phones – they work again! You can now text us again, and we can call you. (Technically you can call us too, but we’ll only pick up if we’re on WiFi.)
It was quite a saga; we had to switch to T-Mobile, and we hit like five different snags in the process of transferring our numbers. But it’s done now hoorayyy.
And last but not least, we’re in Kyoto! We took the Shinkansen and everything. The train itself was great, but holy crap the station was crazy crowded and hot. I think we each sweat about a gallon per person.
Kyoto is gorgeous, but a little less pleasant to walk around in – at least the part we’re in is a lot more car-focused than Tokyo.
Here’s a few pictures, but we haven’t done much here yet, so there aren’t many.
