Well I need to make plans on what I'm going to do everyday. I'm going to be in Tokyo for about a month, then Kyoto for two weeks. I need to plan on fun places to go and such ^^

In Kyoto for sure go to Gion Corner , Nijo Castle and the Golden Pavilion. (: Also if you want to see an amazing garden to go the Shugaku-in Imperial Villa.

I don't remember the order I went in which is probably the order that makes the most sense. If you show these addresses or look them up, it might be easier not to be jumping around too much when you don't need to be. That is, unless you want to. XD Be sure to spot Kyoto Tower and Tokyo Tower as well. (: It's not too hard. Just ask.

Addresses:
(Gion Corner)
570-2 Gionmachi Minamigawa, Higashiyama-ku
Yasaka Hall Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture 605-0074

*Get advance permission from them (their website)

In Tokyo go to the Imperial Palace and Asakusa Temple and if you're up to it you might try Tokyo Disneyland but I think the main thing to do in Tokyo is explore the great city and shop. (: You can go to any of these places, which I looked over and all I would suggest, especially go to Harajuku (in Tokyo) on a Sunday if you want to see all the fun clothes. (: That's the best time and place, more specifically Jingu bridge.

On the 45th floor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Shinjuku (west exit) there are two free observation galleries. With stunning views of Tokyo, Mount Fuji and Yokohama, this has to be one of the best free gifts the city has to offer.
Open: 09:30am to 05:30 (07:30 on Sunday). Closed: Monday (Tuesday if Monday was a public holiday).
Tel 5321 1111.

Also skim over this website for Tokyo.

Addresses:
(Imperial Palace)
1-1 Chiyada, Chiyoda

(Asakusa Temple)
2-3-1, Asakusa, Taito-ku

oo okay, thank you. I will do my best to go to all those places. It'll be interesting. *copies and pastes them and emails self*

I also want to go to Harujuku and Shibuya~ Though I hear Shibuya is expensive, but it would be fun just to look.

Ah yeah definetely explore there (: Those are on the list on the link about Tokyo btww ^_^
Hmmm you should do one too on what foods to try. (: Some things are extremely different from over here and others are like.. xD well yeah same idea but you know it is different. Like the milk and eggs. And the bread. xD And if you get a chance to get homemade pizza lol. You should definetely try to Ramen at a Ramen shop though. Don't forget that one.

Edit: And mochi!! XD *just made some* : p

Oh yes of course. My friend promised to treat me to mochi ice cream. So hopefully he keeps that promise XD

edit:
Hey did you get these two clues?

* Are you up for a challenge?
* Want to draw attention to something?

I need some vague clues cause I'm having trouble finding them >_<

edit again:
Never mind I found them ^^

Oh yeah try warm mochi too (: What time of the year are you going? Summer ne? Like.. xD yeah ok hahah just the month(s).
ok lol good (:

i'm going early July to mid August. so it's probably going to be very warm

Ahh yeahhh XD will be. I went from August 1-10th after leaving from the airport on July 31st in America. : p Expect humidity too. And sometimes it will rain like Hawaii xD Like BAM and then gone. xD But overall it's pretty nice (: Ooooh you can do hanabi huh : D Just as long as you have a place to do it where you won't hurt anyone (considering as you'll be in Tokyo and Kyoto.) Or else you can see if you can watch some hanabi (: And there will prolly be a festival or two.. dunno if you'd go or not but they're fun ^^

I wanted to go to this one festival while I was in Kyoto, but my doctor's appointment is the next day. That's okay though. It's cheaper not to stay as long. what's hanabi?

The rain sounds cool. My hair is probably going to be really puffy cause of the humidity. but oh well.

Ohhh I see. : o Hmm well maybe some time you can.
Hanabi means "flower fire" (hana + bi) and it's usually like.. ehh a sparkler I guess. It comes out with a lot of colored smoke but there are also usual fireworks in the sky for a viewing (:
Ah yeah hahah well when I was in Japan it rained maybe two or three times in 10 days but then it didn't last very long either. Hmm yeah twice in Chiba and once in Kyoto. But ... hmm.. idk.. didn't make my hair poofy idk. Maybe that's partly because I'm Japanese. xD Who knows. But it clears up skin : p haha

Edit: Btw you can get fans in many many many stores XD in case it's too hot or humid or whatever and in case of rain, an umbrella is pretty easy too. (: You might try a clear one hahah. I haven't seen them many places but Japan.
Editx2: Fans can also be free. Actually, you'll probably get one at the airport or something or else on the street and if not, your friend showing you around might have a spare.

That sounds pretty. Hanabi.

Well I'm sure our hair textures are different XD lol. I'm not Japanese. My hair gets puffy just after I wash it.

That's cool. Carrying around a fan, lol the idea is funny since you never see anyone here in the states doing that. Yeah a clear umbrella would be cool. They're actually considered high fashion. Really? Free stuff is awesome!

Yeah I got a free one at Narita Internat'l Airport. (: Well of course my family all did xD Also don't worry about buying tissues. You get that for free too. (: And if you're ever in need of like socks or batteries xD you might find a vending machine that has it. (: Hmmm yeah I got a clear umbrella there ^_^ saw all of the school kids doing it and I'd never seen one before : p lol.

: O Ohh geez, that would suck to have hair do that! I'm sorry! >.< Mine just gets curlyish wavyish more but not like the tangly kind so I guess I'm pretty lucky o.o;;

Oh that's cool *nods*. Yeah I think a clear umbrella would be a neat investment. lol. I see them all the time on Jdramas too.

Lol, it's okay. I've had it for awhile so I know how to control it

(: Ok so you're cool (: hehe, if you don't mind me asking, how do you?
^_^ mm yeah I found it at a yasui store.. uhh it's like.. cheap store yeah. (: Well it was kinda like 100 yen store except some things were higher price like 200 or 300 but usually not more. I got chopsticks and stickers and a cute Hamtaro notebook and such (: Pretty cool. But hmm.. You know how yen works, right? In comparison to USD?

lol XD what?

Well to control it I straighten it then put a little bit of anti-frizz cream in. It's not difficult. I'm just really lazy when it comes to the straightening part that it usually becomes wavy near the end of the day.

Yeah I did study that. I'll have to check that store out for souvenirs.

Oh lol yeahhh I never straighten my hair. I have maybe 5 or 6 times in my life xD Soooo yaah. My sister calls me lazy about it but I don't have any need to. *shrugs* It's not like I have my own anyways; I'd have to borrow hers.
Ok (: hahah I went to that store in Utsunomiya xD Which I don't think you're going there but there are also ones like that in many cities. (: Very very likely, in Tokyo and Kyoto (: Btw in case you don't know, Tokyo means East Kyoto .. So like don't get too confused if you see the same kanji in both of them xD This is Tokyo (東京)　and this is Kyoto (京都) (:

Btw what is the

lol XD what?

to? xD

To the you're a cool person part, lol.

Yeah if you don't need to there really is not point in doing it. No probably not. I do want to go to a beach, but there aren't really any particularly close by Tokyo or Kyoto. Eh.. but.. Kyoto isn't east of Tokyo. It's west. *confusion* but that is interesting.

Oh XD i meant like.. "you're cool" as in "you've got yourself taken care of" XD and "you don't need help with it" <- even though I wouldn't easily be able to give it on that topic XD
Aggghh I switched them up >_< sorry!! Tokyo means "eastern capital" and Kyoto means "capital city" because Kyoto used to be the capital which is why there is so much traditional stuff in there like shrines and temples and palaces and everything. >> << Imma edit it to not look like such a fool xD

oh I see. lol. Okay. *nods*It's alright, everyone makes mistakes. I like forgot my umbrella and my water bottle at my mom's house(did I mention this?) so yeah. XD very big mistake. Could have been worse. When we were leaving I had to run back in two times cause I forgot things.

Hahah yeahhh true huh : p How is that a very big mistake though? o-o;;

cause I am in Muskegon and won't be able to get them back for awhile. It's raining season too XD. Your mistake was very very small compared to that.

Oh really? : O Hmmm.. Well do you have a good rain coat at least??

not really. I'll be okay though. I'll just ride the bus the day it rains. ^^..well unless it rains this tuesday then I'm gonna get soaked but I have to turn my application in XD

Oh no.. o_o don't get the application wet >.< one already got crumpled.

I know. It's just..I need to turn it in. I can get a folder or something to protect it!
