We are currently in Kyoto, enjoying the beauty that this place truly encompasses.
1. Wifi. How did people travel without it?! I get lost even when I have access to the internet, so I can only imagine how I would fare without it. Not to say that I don't enjoy losing my way. When you plan on staying somewhere for awhile (or just don't have any plan at all), it can be the best way to get your bearings. But if you're on a short holiday, portable wifi is the way to go. Or at least know where the nearest convenience stores are!
2. Tiger Balm. It's official. Fall is here. Aka the mosquitos have found their way to me. The devils have produced mountain-sized bites on my legs, and I want to kill them all. But Tiger Balm seemingly does the trick. After my last bout with the little beasts, I've kept a steady supply of the good stuff. Yes, it has a pretty pungent smell, but the cooling sensation and not waking up the next morning to raw legs is worth it.
3. Strangers. It has happened each time that we have come to Japan. When the boyfriend and I are looking at a map or glancing back and forth, getting more and more frustrated with one another, someone has come up and asked us if we needed help. I don't know if we have just come across the best that Osaka/Kyoto have to offer, but this did not happen for a whole two years that I lived in Korea. Not only that, but there is a severe lack of face-in-phone syndrome on the streets. I could get used to this!
