kyoto here i come!

i'll be leaving for the airport in 12 hours time and despite an earlier post stating that I had managed to get all my hotels, I made some last minute changes and since the cherry blossoms bloomed early and they are now all boomed...i managed to get a hotel room in Kyoto insead of the Hostel (which means my deposit of 10usd is forfeited) anyway, i was guilt ridden cos i blasted so mch on Daddy's card that I decided tha I am gonna fork out self mooh-lah for my Kyoto hotel and man its not cheap cos it's a 5 star one called the Okura Kyoto.

It's basically the Japanese Banyan Tree (since they are affilated) but i hope that my 800 buskc for 3 nights will be well spent considering that they had juat finshed refurbishing their hotel rooms, and this means that apparently, i get to choose between 2 types of room: a more contempory or a cheerful bright one:

My preference will be the darker one cos somehow the sofa looks better and more comfy for me to eat my cheapo bento box bought at discount from mart after 8pm...

Anyway, my hotel in osaka has also changed from ANA Inter-continental to Granvia. This hotel is located directly above the train station and opposit shopping centers, hence i decided to switch.

Also, since cherry blowwoms in Kyoto has already bloomed and most likely wilted, I dcided to go to Nagano of Tokyo on 22 Apr cos the blossoms will be peaking at that period. Since I made my way all the way there must as well fully utilise my J Pass and take a 1.5 hr trip to Nagano so tha can at least claim that I have sen the blossoms in my life yeah? haha

Very exciting!
