にじょ Castle
This post's random personality: The Really Cool Guy
It is I, yes I, that really cool guy (pulls bow tie stylishly)! Just yesterday, then I, yes I, that Really Cool Guy (lowers sunglasses coolly), went to the Nijo Castle in Kyoto! Unfortunately, then in the castle they didn't allow my (yes my, that Really Cool Guy's) super-stylish shoes, but that's all okay, since... I got to show off my ultra-stylish socks!
Then, I, yes I, that Really Cool Guy (tips hat with flair of style) got to go to a music concert--retro-style!

The Stairs of Kyoto!
This post's random personality: umm... getting kinda low on ideas... let's try the Doctor, David Tennant.
Ah, Kyoto; the thing everyone's been talking about; a land of discovery. Everyone who's even been to the place says it's beautiful, so I've been looking forward to it for a long time. So far, my favorite place in the station is the stairs. Y'know, that's rather interesting; no one would even mention how good the stairs would be, but here they are, my favorite place in Kyoto station, so. What's with the stairs, anyway? Well, the answer would lie in the lights:

...And Other Matters
This post's random personality: optimist
First of all, the pessimist personality left out a few details about the museum (e.g. I had fun). Also, one museum had an entire article on Christianity in Japan (St. Francis Xavier~religious freedom)--not something you see in your average museum!
But anyway, after that most thrilling trip, I came across several artists in different fields; including a professional guitar player (!) and Gちょこ, an excellent two-person circus; while walking around a nearby park.
Then I came across the odd part--a telephone box. With a bell ringing that sounded like a cloister bell. And a slight rumbling. And, a while later, a school with rather odd doors similar to a TARDIS's. I actually opened the doors of the telephone box to make sure it had the same dimentions on the inside (it did).
Conclusion:
I have come across a Tardis which has had it's inside pulled out from the outside and the inside is being used as a high school. It all works! That's why the cloister bell was ringing, that's why the box was the same size on the inside; everything works!
What? I've been known to assume I've stepped into a parallel universe if a house's design doesn't match my memory.

On Museums...
This post's random personality: pessimist
I'd say good evening, but it's probably morning when you're reading this. Yesterday, I went to a museum in Ueno, somewhere near Tokyo. However, I only got to go in ONE MUSEUM and that was only for half an hour before they closed and I didn't get to see the second floor until the day after that and then I tried all sorts of other museums after that one closed but they were all closed and...
The next day, I saw that museum again, as well as many others. I will show you the pictures, even though it was taken by my iPod, which has very bad definition.

Lost! ...in TOKYO!!!
This post's random personality: well...
Good evening! Just the day before yesterday, I got: Lost! ...in TOKYO!!!
*Tomathyn notes that it was actually somewhere west of Tokyo and that he quickly got himself un-lost with a map.
