Traveling without a guide or group makes life
interesting. We have false
starts. We get lost. We spend some of our time standing around
on the street looking at our guidebooks/maps and discussing our next move. When I know we seem really lost and out of
place, I just smile and bow at others.
Armed with a sense of adventure and a sense that anything we
do, even the mistakes will be fun (this is just me talking), we headed off the
first day to see the Sanjusangen-do Temple.

Our first challenge was the Kyoto subway system. The little
bit of English on the subways signs plus experience reading subways systems in
other cities helped us get to the Temple via subway.

Do the uniformed sweeper girls get on at every stop?
Ohayou Gozaimasu, Gigisan! I am so excited to hear of your adventures in Japan. What an experience for Emma. I posted the previous comment about the sweeper girls. They were very rehearsed, and the train always left on time. As for the surgical masks, they are worn if your are getting a cold so that you don't share with everyone. Anyway, that is what we were told. Forgive me if you addressed this in your other posts, but I haven't been able to get them to open.
Sayanora,
Claudia
Hi Claudia: Who are the uniformed sweeper girls? Hmmm. More adventure awaits. Yes, this new version of Google Blogspot is hard to navigate. I think you can go back and forth between posts with the arrows.
