Katrin, My first tip is that you enter buses at the centre door and take a seat without first paying. You pay at your destination, then exit the bus via the front door. I learned this after letting two buses leave without me because I was waiting to enter via the front door.
The second tip is never admit to speaking English if approached by schoolgirls. They want to practice their spoken English skills and you'll spend the whole day making small talk. You'll love Kyoto, I'd challenge anyone to be unimpressed. BTW check visitors times for the Imperial Palace in advance, we missed it because the Emperor was hosting a very private, but very official function which closed it to the public >:-( regards, Anthony Farr ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 22, 2004 10:52 PM Subject: OT: Travel Tips - Japan > > Hello everybody... > Something I wanted to do for several years now is travelling to Japan... > well finally it comes true...
