There were just so many temples and shrines in Kyoto (estimate: at least 1000 of them), a month might not be enough even...

It calls for reduction of CO2 emissions back to a level 5% lower than what was being emitted in 1990. Since that time, the US is shown to have increased emissions by a factor in the vicinity of 28%. That means right now, there needs to be a reduction...

Jump to the full entry & travel map Kyoto, Kinki, Japan First, let it be said that I am getting sick of overnight buses. This one was modern and clean but I could not get comfortable. Thankfully it was only half full and the fellow next to me moved to another seat after the first pee stop. We left Tokyo at 11:30 p.m. and arrived in Kyoto at 5:30 a.m. I got...

CONCLUSIONS. The original premise for this long series of posts was this. If the Kyoto Protocol is only in place to preserve the environment for future generations, then, surely, that can only be a good thing.

It was clean, modern, spacious, comfortable and exactly on time. Everything Indian trains are not. So for the end of my trip I'm travelling in luxury. I need it because travelers fatigue is setting in. City after city is exhausting and...
