Vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the last week has brightened up for me rather unexpectedly. Time with friends might be helping. Maybe it was my hormones? Maybe my birth control is making me insane? Maybe I am actually insane? One day I'll go to a doctor to figure that out, but YAY! VACAAAAAY!

DUH, Monkey Park! *Stole this from travelpanda.org*

Friday, I will be flying into Japan in the evening for the start of a 4day/5night trip and I am more than ecstatic. I'll arrive in Osaka in the evening and stay for the night. The next day, I'll be taking a train to Kyoto where I will be doing everything I possibly can without dying of exhaustion. I can't wait to see the temples and the geishas and the monkey park! THEY HAVE A MONKEY PARK! Seriously, I couldn't be more excited. I don't care if people think my reaction to a monkey park is over the top. Fuck those guys. Monkeys.


Late Sunday night I'll be returning to Osaka for the remainder of my trip (sorta). I haven't entirely worked out the details, but early in the day on Monday I plan to take a mini-trip to Nara. I'll check out Nara Park which is apparently full of deer begging for food handouts. I can't wait to have my fingers nibbled at! I may also check out the attractions located right around the park. There's a temple and a museum pretty much right on top of the park. After that I'll return to Osaka for some nightlife and shopping Monday evening into Tuesday afternoon. I found out there's a manga/anime paraphernalia store right in Osaka. I will make a point to get to that one of the days I'm there. It's imperative.

I'll be back in Korea Tuesday night and ready to enjoy my final day of vacation RELAXING. I didn't know that I'd have next Wednesday off when I booked my trip, but I am thankful for it. Saved me money on hotels and provides me with an extra day home to do laundry/sit on my butt/get back on track with my diet I don't plan on following while in Japan.
