First, please please PLEASE help me with travel stuff. You did this last year and I'm still totally lost with what to do and how to do it. :(

Also--the main thing I wanted to hit in Kyoto was the Fushimi Inari Shrine, that Geisha district you talked about sounds awesome, and that one temple? Not sure about it, wasn't on my list of things to mention that I remember. The reason why I mentioned the pass is that if we're hopping all around Kyoto, it is TOTALLY the cheapest way to go. Seeing the old castle, yeah--that would be awesome, too.

As for Tokyo, yes--TDS (I still can't imagine a full day at a park, XD, but we'll see how I hold up) and Akihabara (with the Square Enix store) and possibly the Tower. If we're in town for New Years, yes we'll totally go to a shrine, but... <3 you know, there is a pretty kicking shrine in my town, too--I probably won't die of no shrines, but an old one in Tokyo sounds great and a lot of fun, too. Plus, New Years with friends? Totally perfect

My neighbor mentioned some kind of tour bus that stops at the locations and tours you through. It sounded cool!

o_O The thing we went to wasn't an antique market?

We went to an antique market in Tokyo? *blinks* I didn't remember that at all. I was talking about the Juuban-Azabu thing that we thought sounded cool, though.

Oh, and hey, do you still have the e-mail for the Asakusa Hotel? We won't be staying there, but I wanted to see if they still had that info.

....I found out that I could order tickets for Disney at a convenience store, and so I did that today. Think of the hassle that would have saved last year!

I could be delirious and remembering you when I may have been with someone else. But I did go to an antique market last year not far from the place where Mugen Gakuen in Sailor Moon would have been. Can't remember the exact name off the top of my head, but you take the special airport train and get off at R-Center or something.

Also, by "Asakusa Hotel," do you mean the Sakura Hostel where we stayed?

And YES! I wish I'd known that. :(

[candywings]

I'm pretty positive it wasn't me. I think the closest we got was Hong Kong and that open-market.

Yeah, that's the hostel I meant. :)

Really, right? ^.~
