Cow uniformed girls singing 'moomoo' is going to be imprinted into my mind for a while. Honestly though, I love Kyoto for its atmosphere, but I could probably find more friendliness in other parts of Japan. There's this "oh fuck a tourist" sensation coming over ever Japanese you meet in the streets, that sort of takes the energy out of you after awhile, but I think it'll sort itself out. Getting Japanese friends is a pain though, speaking of. I'm still not sure how to pull it off, without having to go to to bars getting drunk. Hahaha!

Ehm well, to be serious, I guess that's the shitty thing about Sapporo, there's just nothing old and traditional up here. An absolutely great place to live, good food and an enormous 3 weeks long beer party every summer, but it kind of sucks to not see any of the traditional Japan. Been to Kyoto a couple of times though, not for the gion festival though. Would be cool to see, but for now I'll stick to the beer garden. Last saturday, they had girls dressed up in cow uniforms singing a 'moo-moo!' song while dancing and finishing it off with screaming 'kanpai!', not too bad aye?
