waar waren we gebleven?

from Tokyo like a bullet(train) to Kyoto. MOOI! Relaxing city compared to Tokyo's rush. Biking along the river, through small streets, visiting markets with the weirdest looking fishes.

A local train full of locals brought us with a lot of local stops to Nara.....too touristy and a dissapointing temple/fire/show thing.

One night in Osaka where we had our last delicious sushi meal, and of to the ferry!
2 night or 50 hours of calm sea later we arrived in Shanghai. Mamamia! another world compared to subtle friendly Japan. We were back in Asia! TOOT TOET!! kgggg spit spit. (carhorns and spitting people) Kids pooing on the streets, so busy after the 2 nights of nothing on sea. We managed to get a train ticket between 50 pushing and impatient chinese. Few hours later we were in a sleepertrain to Beijing.
