Day Six - Shrines and deer of Nara-Koen, Journey to Osaka Wednesday, March 30, 2011

Day Six was probably the most painful... actually. The most excrutiating day of my life. There were open sores on my feet from walking, on my legs from scratching, on my back from my backpack, on my neck from more scratching, on my belly from that damn massage... Anyway. The day of disaster begins. I woke up with a 65 year old woman dressed in a kimono hovering over me screaming "gomen! gomen! gomen! gomen!" whilst I was half asleep rummaging across the floor for the rest of my clothes (I spent the night in my underpants). That is how the day started. I then realized while I was frantically packing my clothes because I slept through my check-out time, that one of the maids had thrown away my bag of underwear. It did look a bit like a garbage bag, but seriously now. I also think there were a few pairs of socks in that bag. So, I'm out 5 pairs of underwear and 2 socks. I have 2 pairs of underwear left and 3 pairs of socks... but it's alright, I'm wearing flip flops. I suppose. I also have my monthly thang goin' on, and I used my pads in my shoes to make my blisters stop hurting. How ironic. I took a final walk through Kyoto, stopping at the museum to look around. It was quite boring, having had only 3 floors which were not quite filled. Even the people guarding each floor were sleeping. I stopped at a few nice artsy shops. For people who like Granville Island, you will definitely like Kyoto. It's packed with tiny shops full of fun colorful unique treasures! Most of which ...
