Exactly One Year Ago Today - Day 9

Reached Kyoto around 6:30 a.m. and I went to bed straight without taking off any piece of clothing. Becos we were away for a few days, the heater wasn't switch on and the room was freezin! It's so bad, my make up cream became solid! Yeah, that cold. I slept with my thermal wear, jeans, 2 layers of tops and my jacket and on top of me were 4 futons. By the time I woke up, it was kinda late. Had a ni~~~ce long bath in the ofuro. I'm really diggin the Jap culture. Their ofuro got a jacuzzi in it. Ahhh..... sheer bliss..

We din go out cos we were exhausted, plus it was raining then. Was watching the news and I found out that it was snowing back in Tokyo today. NOT FAIR!!! After dinner, Junko's aunt and cousin, Haru chan came for a visit. Haru chan is currently studying music and had asked for Junko's help to translate this article of a French composer and his sonata from English to Jap. Junko asked for my help to translate it to Jap and she'll rewrite it properly back in Jap. Wah lau!!! Wat a test, man! Shit! The whole achin process took 2 hours. Haru's mom felt bad and kept serving me beer...

I went to bed late that day. Spent the whole night talking to Junko and her lovely mom and it was real fun. Me trying to speak in Jap and simple English words and her mom trying to put it as simple as she could and I had a dictionary with me, just in case. We chatted until about 3:30 a.m. Then I went to bed.
