Himeji and Tours End

I type this from the lobby of the Tokoyo Inn just south of Himeji Station. I spent a very comfortable night wasting hours on end via a laptop rental service. This is due to be my last post in the context of the pre-study tour, but there should be amble sources of interest generated from the coming weeks. In line with that Ive just changed my blog settings to allow anyone to comment, so comment away.

The weather here has turned, overcast and wet, but a very comfortable 20c. This in no way diminished the epic sight of Himeji Castle, which should definatley appear on the itinary (I know thats spelt wrong) of any tourist. However I would suggest prehaps devoting a day to it, but return on the train to another city to sleep. Other then the castle, there is nothing of tourist intrest here.

So thats that, tour over. The sights I saw were very impressive, and the people I met equally friendly. Im very glad to have started this year on a positive note, which helps me cope with British-based social politics. Missing everyone at home, but other then the people I left behind, so far Japan has Britain beat in nearly all aspects!

So with that I close the first chapter of my stay and look forward to starting the next as the streets of Kobe grow to know the name Munday.
