Hi all. Currently writing this from a heated toilet seat in a hostel in Kyoto (donât judge please). Tour has been jam-packed but also quite a bit of downtime. All Iâve done today is arrive in Kyoto, get some matcha and sit on this toilet seat and I feel bad about that. Donât know what to do for the rest of the afternoon so might get some ramen and then go for our walking tour. I feel kinda bad that I havenât really done much or what I wouldâve liked to do. Didnât go to Tokyo Tower, havenât looked around temples and shrines here yet, avoided Nishiki market because it is way too crowded, have had some shit food experiences (got dragged to a place that had gyoza but they were mid). The girls in the group are shopping at the moment and Iâve already done too much of that. Couldâve been a cool bonding experience but oh well.
Ok now for some good parts. The tour guide is awesome and kind of cute haha, have seen some cool shrines and temples, had cheap sushi, played some games with my fellow tour mates. Saw the shinkansens (is that the correct plural?) fly by.
I think Iâll go for some ramen now thatâs nearby so Iâm not hangry before we do another tour activity. Everyone wants to eat later but I think I might just have an early dinner. We have to leave at 6 tomorrow to go somewhere, so thatâs that.
I just need to keep telling myself that Iâm doing enough until I believe it!

This is the way

Thereâs nothing worse than running around from place to place trying to see everything, that ainât a holiday. Iâve done that style before and all it achieves is getting home feeling exhausted. You see what you see, you do what you do, going with the flow holidays are the best. If you miss seeing certain things, all the more reason to go back.

I changed my mind about the Kit Kats, please bring back a heated toilet seat

You can either take a relaxing holiday where you have time to think and really see and enjoy things
or be like me and rush around like a mad woman seeing at least 2 museums or historic sites a day. Then when home I have to lie in bed looking at the ceiling for a week because I fried my brain.

I havenât been to a museum yet :( oops

Itâs just an example
Iâm suggesting you are doing it right for you. đ Have a great time.

You are doing enough. This is your trip, you do as much as you want, as much as you can. Whatever you are doing: It is enough for you and thatâs all that matters.
