Our Hotel in Kyoto

This was our hotel in Kyoto... The Grand Prince Hotel. It was beautiful, but over-priced. It's the kind-of hotel where not only are the rooms expensive, but you have to pay extra for EVERYTHING! no complimentary tea or coffee, no coin laundry, not even an iron. Fantastic if you are on a business trip and you just want the hotel to take care of everything for you, but inconvenient otherwise. They did however offer currency exchange at a better rate than the airport :)

Our first night in Japan

This was dinner on our first night in Japan. As you can see by the clock, once we got off the plane, on the train and found our way to our hotel in Osaka, it was late. We were tired. The convenience store was open. Dinner only cost us about $2.50 each, and it was actually pretty tasty :)
