I'm Back safe and sound back in Canada, and Victoria. I am staying in a hotel room for a night. I was really tired so that is why I am posting now instead of earlier. 16+ Hours of traveling will do that to someone.
I'll post my Kyoto Photos soon and my videos and sounds.

I'm back from Kyoto!
Wow Kyoto was nice! So many mountains it reminded me of back home.
I took the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto, it took about a little over 2 hours. But it was nice I have tons of photos and a little bit of Video as well.
The main reason I went was for a Doll meet up 4(including myself)of us went Most where JETs, First we took the Romantic train and it was short but lots of fun then we went to Tenshi no Sato, and it was so much fun!
Then we had some all you can eat pizza and then had a blast with karaoke! It had been a while since I last had done it, I had so much fun!
I also stayed the night a ones house, She lives in Kamioka.
So Today 3 of us went to a Second hand store in Kamioka, Wow! such great stuff, my best find was was a Volks Resin Figure, like the one that you put togeather and paint.
The character is Sakurai Asahi from Comic Party(I was like YES! Get!) Which was not painted or put together and all the bits are there, guess how much it was?
Also what was more expensive...
A one way Shink ticket(from Tokyo to Kyoto) or Sending 4 boxes home?
This is it my last night in Japan, tomorrow I fly out.
I am going to get up early and get some stuff done. So the next time I check in I might be in Canada.
Good Night!

the cleaning is done...
and I am ready to head to Kyoto...
I also sent out the packages today, vis surface mail. Do I have a story to tell,
It cost me about 2500 yen per box with 4 boxes sent. Which wasn't bad considering that I thought that was going to be twice that.
So about my story, I had packed all 4 boxes with me and looked at the customs slips I had gotten some help, of course I couldn't understand a lot so there where 3 people around the area trying to figure out what was I was saying, mostly that I had forgot what the Japanese Address was... So they had told me that if there was no Japanese Address that I woulds have to check "treat as abandoned", Who knows what would happen to my packages if I did that, so I had told them that it would take 15mins to get the address, so I ran back to the guest house grabbed the information I needed. I also copied the contents of the packages on my ipod. I ran back and wrote the info. I had brought the one bit of info that they didn't need(my passport) but forgot the critical stuff like contents and an address.
Well everything was sorted out and the packages should arrive in 40days they said.
I have spent most of today and yesterday packing and cleaning and now everything is done except for a little bit of packing. So I think I will be caching the Shink back on Sunday Night for my inspection Monday Morning(10am) after which I will be heading to the Airport and catch my flight @ 5pm (arriving back in Canada @ about 9am the same day)I was planning on going to Tokyo Big Site and checking it out but not much time now. It will have to wait for next trip.
I am going to bed soon I need to wake up early for tomorrow.
