Japan times # 2: Kyoto.

I should just start this post by saying this is where shit got awesome. I love Kyoto with all my heart. I felt immediately comfortable and happy there and I was really sad to leave. When I go back to Japan I'm gonna stay in Kyoto for a long time.


Jazz and Whisky Bar! Yay! Jazz and Whisky! Both things I feel like I will probably quite like when I am old because I have mild leanings towards them in my youth. Err what? oh yes Kyoto, it's awesome.

Pretty! I saw fake Geisha just after this bridge and she posed for a photo for me which is how apparently you can tell they are fake. I was bummed about this until real ones wander past the bar I was getting drunk in later and I was like YAY! SAKE! GEISHA! YAY!


Temple in Gion, can't remember it's name. I only remember it was icy cold and quite late when I went there and I was struggling to take photos without removing my gloves.


It was totally pretty and awesome though. Cold and bright.


I could look up the name on the interwebs right now really. But I feel like I'm retaining some sort of mystery by not. MYSTERY! \o/

I don't even know what this is. I feel like I may have been mildly to moderately drunk at this point.

This is a river. I know this much.


Ponto Cho! This was the first place I decided I really wanted to go to after consulting the guide books and everyones advice and getting quite distressed and confused. After all that I decided I wanted to go to a STREET. I'm very adventurous. ( it was awesome)


Awesome I tell you!
I really did like it a lot. I met several lovely and handsome people down this street. It will always remain a source of goodness to me.

Japan Times: Tokyo

Incredibly bewildered first night.

Incredibly life giving vending machines, oh how I shall pine for them.

VENDING MACHINES. OH I LOVE THEE, COME BACK TO ME.

Peoples, amazing lovely peoples. Although at this moment I hated them along with everything else. OH INSOMNIA INDUCE MISERY. so much fun.

Yeah buildings, this is kind of a throwaway filler picture, I'm sure you'll deal with it.

Harajuku!

Full of weird shit! (side note: bunnies were everywhere and seemed like some ominous sign for my trip, I've yet to investigate/care about what this might mean)


Torii Gate outside of Meiji Jingu. Now it's possible that I was extremely sleep deprived and lonely and quite mentally unstable when I visited this shrine but to me it seemed to fix everything. It was incredibly beautiful and amazing and I think its a magical place. SO yeah! Take that Catholic guilt!

Bookstore quiet times on Friday night.

Nightime in Parkville

Random Things

There is no point to this post really, and these photos don't even make sense chronologically. I don't care, this is my internet, I'll do what I like.


Drunken night at a friends gig. Coles is pretty when you've had 8 beers.

Best friend in my lounge room. Fairy Lights. Vodka. Good times.

Flyscreen obscured view. I don't even know why I like this.

Press button if you are irate.

I feel like this may have been the view from the train when I was travelling to visit my brother. Or aliens put it on my phone. One of those things.

Australia vs Some other team what they beat. I find myself increasing unable to concentrate for long stretches of time on sport and therefore entertain myself by singing pop music to my brother. I am not allowed to go to games anymore.

Brass Band playing on the street. I refuse to give backstory to this.

My co-workers sister has spirit animals and rocks that she carries around in a little pouch around her neck, no bullshit. People are ridiculously awesome.
