The trip is beginning to get down to the last finals days and our last scheduled city to visit was Kyoto. This city had a lot to offer, not as busy and big as Tokyo but it gave me the same type of vibe as we traveled around. Our day in Kyoto was a scheduled day for shopping and sightseeing. Kyoto had a great shopping district that had a lot to offer. Many designer stores such as Bape, Gucci, and many different special clothing boutiques. I also had the chance to shop for last minute souvenir gifts for my family. The shopping district in Kyoto reminded me of an outdoor shopping mall. We all were given a bus pass once we arrived to Kyoto and the pass was valid for a day. We spent majority of the day shopping and once we were done it was our mission to get back to JCMU without Dr. Ross. Once we caught the bus back to the station it was smooth sailing from that point on because that was the biggest challenge, catching the bus in Kyoto. We also had the opportunity to visit a historic Japanese Castle located in Kyoto. I was a great sight to see and learn the structure of Japanese buildings in earlier times. Kyoto is a well-designed city and is a great contribution to Japan’s economy.
