Claire is even now leafing through a Lonely Planet Japan guide - which she probably thought she could avoid by having friends who already know the scene living here but she never counted on me. She arrived yesterday morning and my place was still a mess because I thought she was coming in the evening! Ooops. Let me tell you how good and strange it is to have a friend from Toronto here in my Nagahama kitchen. Last night Adam and Kristen the aussies from upstairs came by to visit and I had a weird moment when my Japan friends were talking to my Toronto/London friend. I guess Claire is really my Toronto friend, not my London friend until I can visit her in London. That's silly.
We've decided to visit Kyomizu-dera, the holy water temple in Kyoto instead of Kinkakuji, the Golden temple. This is based on Veronica's recommendation. I've seen the Golden temple and liked it a lot but I've never seen Kyomizu-dera.
Well we had better get going so that we don't miss our 10:15 train! I'll update more later...
