Kyoto City

First day in Kyoto was a relaxing one, just walked around checking things out but there was a couple of highlights.

While I was window shopping, Shaun walked off with the map scoping out the malls. I turned to let him know I was going inside when I saw an older lady take his arm. I caught up to them and she was taking him to the police kiosk, must've thought he was lost. In broken english and japanese we convinced her we were not lost.

We caught the train to Kyoto Train Station. This 15 storey building is made of glass and steel and has many escalators. At the top of the escalators there is a sky garden from which you can view out over kyoto and down into the station. A small piece of green in all the concrete. On the train ride to the station, there was a school boy flaked out on the seat. He must've been so tired and was falling off the seat. Suddenly he woke up, jumped off the train and crossed to the other train line. We think he missed his stop.
