Leaving Koenji

We have packed our bags and cleaned up the apartment. Our landlord Kobayashi-san is on his way over and hopefully we will get all of our 40,000 yen bond back. The apartment looks like it did when we moved in, maybe even better, its spooky. Tomorrow Olivia and I are going to Kyoto for a bit of a holiday. We have an eight hour bus trip tomorrow, but we have reservations in a nice hotel in the centre of the city. I hav booked my ticket back to Tokyo for the 11DEC on the shinkansen (bullet train). It can go higher than 300km/hr over land, I am looking forward to that. It will only take me 4 hours to get back to Tokyo. Then I have to go to the airport and get a plane to Melbourne. It all a bit exciting really.
