Getting around in Kyoto: Bus Pass

Anette 3:40:00 PM

Did you know that Kyoto City has a one-day bus pass you can buy instead of paying for every ride? A one-day pass for the Kyoto City Bus This is quite practical for tourists, as 240 yen for a ride really isn't that cheap.

Anette 1:31:00 PM

Those of you who've read my previous post know how I tried out hosting a girl through Couchsurfing.org for the first time this weekend, and how it ended up with my guest forcing herself to stay longer than originally planned despite me already having other plans. As I suspected, about thirty minutes...

Couchsurfing: When the Guest won't leave..

Anette 9:24:00 PM

A couple of weeks ago I decided that I wanted to try being a host at couchsurfing.org, the page for travelers who wants to make their journey cheaper by spending the night in another couch-surfer's apartment rather than in an expensive hotel. I figured it would be an interesting and fun thing to...

Hey you with the Kanji Tattoo!

Anette 5:27:00 PM

Isn't it funny how we sometimes try to express ourself creatively through foreign languages, such as words our clothing or sometimes even with a tattoo? Some people even use things written in languages they don't know, and where I suppose they have no clue what the writings actually means. Here...

彼氏に書いた一年間半の記念日メッセージ

Anette 12:54:00 PM

ゆうまちゃん！今日1年間半の記念日になったね。早かったなぁ〜。一緒に遊んだり、トレーニングしたり、旅行したり、パーティーしたりして、めっちゃいい思い出いっぱいできた。辛い時もあったけど、ゆうまちゃんはずっとそばにいてくれたから心強かった。日本ではいい経験山ほどあるけど、やっぱりゆうまちゃんと出会ったのはそのなかの最もよかったことだと私は思う。今は遠距離でちょっと寂しいけど将来もゆうまちゃんと一緒にいたいから東京で仕事を見つけるために精一杯頑張る。ゆうまちゃん大好きやで〜！ヤイ　アー　シェンペグラー　イ　ダイ♡ 関係あるポスト：日本語あり .adslot-overlay {position:...
