2nd Day -Kyoto

In a very early morning, we took a shuttle bus to Fukuoka station to take high speed train, Shinkansen. We were so eager and can't stop waiting to take this train. This bullet train is running at least 210km/h. We need to take this train at least 3 hours. Therefore, we went to the shops in the Fukuoka station to buy our lunch. Bento again..ahaha.. Having a lunch in this train.

Our train is coming ! HORRAY!!!

My lunch.

My second coffee here :p The taste is not really nice..of course , prefer to Korea's coffee. Miss my coffee gang ....


The first thing we did once we arrived in Kyoto, of course was find out where was our hostel. The weather is very very terrible, ultra super hot. No wind at ALL !! I was sweating like water pipe. Teresa and I always bring the fan along whenever we went.


Haha...this room was looked like quite messy. 6 people share in one room. We can't get the female room. This room is for guys and gals together. A "curtain" is available for each bed. Of course we don't hope others people see our ugly look or posture when we are sleeping...right ?
Many places we planned to visit in Kyoto were temples. Due to the time we arrived in Kyoto was quite late, around 5pm, we cannot visit any places in Kyoto. Thefore, I had suggested to travel to Osaka, 15 minutes duration only from here by Shinkansen.

We had visited Umeda Sky Building in Osaka. It is a spectacular high rise building, near to Osaka stations. It is also known as the "New Umeda City". The 173 meter tall building consists of two main towers which are conneted with each other by the "Floating Garden Observatory" on 39th floor. The admission fee is 700 yen , around 7000 won.

Only Teresa and I climb up to this building except Katrin. She said that she was very scared standing on very high building.


I'm READY !!


Feel like inside a mist.



Here is a good place for couples and wedding place.

Both of us maybe too excited until the sun began to fall below the horizon.

You can see many bridges and also small rivers in Japan.

We worried that Katrin had waited us quite a long time. haha.. We had spend almost 3 hours here. We went back to Kyoto. Tomorow will start our first new journey in Kyoto.
