Helo from a rainy Kyoto.
I caught the bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto this lunchtime - a big improvement in terms of speed, smothness & comfort over the Russian trains. It was drizalling as I left Tokyo, and tipping down in Kyoto, so I haven't done much siteseeing yet, just a quick wander around the block to get my bearings.
This hotel has high speed net access in all rooms - so its back to being able to upload photos, I may be able to clear some of the backlog, since I think the Geishas will probably be staying inside on a night like this.
