Human’s Vacation Day 1
Kansai International Airport (KIX) is peach on the inside and mint and grey on the outside.
To get to the arrival hall from the plane, one needs to get on board a shuttle rail. Not difficult since everyone has to go the same way. Present your papers, get your two index fingers scanned, smile for the camera and your bags checked and you’re ready to go.
The kansai airport bus and ticketing machine is just outside the door. The chill at 6.30 in the morning reminded me of the year end chill in Toronto. I dont have many reference points.
The 7am bus for kyoto station sets off under rose hued skies. The audio track rambled, surprisingly in Chinese, in addition to Japanese. Please fasten your seatbelt. And in English, please refrain from talking on the phone on the bus.
Kyoto sits in a valley, bordered by layers of misty relief in the horizon. The sun has barely peeked from behind, just in time to say, good morning, welcome to Japan.

Asians can therefore talk on the phone and Anglos don’t have to wear seat belts.

Kind of silly, but that’s one of the things I miss most about Japan. The vending machines that sell those drinks are literally *everywhere* – not only big cities, but even remote *very* rural locations.
