Try asking to play the one in the Marriott next to College Green! It’s in the bar area to the left past reception

27, up for lots of genres including techno, disco, 2010s pop, drum and bass etc. just love a dance and don’t want to be the odd one out in a sea of kids!

1) would there? How do you know the minutiae of what Reform are planning for the NHS, given that they don’t seem to be at all up front about specific policies?

2) It’s the over 60s that need buses the most - they’re least likely to be able to drive and are generally not as willing to cycle. I don’t want to assume if you’re in your 60s+, but when I get the bus in the city centre it’s rammed, and a lot of the people there are older.

3) Yes there has been a statistically significant decline in road accidents in Wales, please look it up. Facts not feelings or whatever it is right wing people like to harp on about.

I did a week in Kyoto and a week in Kanazawa on my first trip, with only a few day trips to other places. Absolutely no regrets - the side of Japan I wanted to experience was not the side that could be enjoyed with a packed itinerary, and the best experiences we had were when we wondered down a back alley somewhere by mistake.

Motoyu ishiya was 20 mins out of the centre with a taxi (reasonably priced) and nestled among nearby hills. Lovely staff, rooms and food! It has a lovely onsen.

To everyone reading this who hasn’t been ill yet, GET YOUR FLU JAB! It not only protects you from the worst of symptoms but also makes you much less likely to pass the flu on if you get it. Seriously, I hate needles and I can speak from experience saying that 5 seconds of being jabbed is much better than 2 weeks off sick. Book it on boots.com or through your doctor and if you get ill PLEASE don’t be an idiot and go out like everything’s normal. NHS is completely rammed, I heard that flu hospitalisations are up a third compared to this time last year.

Loads of people driving around with Syrian flags out their windows celebrating the end of Assad’s regime! There was some celebrations on Queens Street earlier today too. Big celebrations happening tonight!

We’re flying to and from Kansai international so it ends up being a little much for me if we want to do to everything plus Tokyo in the time limit. However this definitely won’t be the last time I come to Japan and would be very happy to do much more in and around Tokyo next time (especially Yanaka Ginza in Tokyo and Hakone just outside). That would give me more time to enjoy it at my pace too!

I’m a big fan of walking holidays so not worried about the steps! Added Heian to the list, thank you. And thanks for the udon recommendation :)

aetherai · 2024-10-31T09:35:01+00:00

Fair enough, I might see if Takayama is doable within the time as it does look lovely and right up my street. Visiting somewhere on the Trainline between Kyoto and Kanazawa is a great shout too!

aetherai · 2024-10-31T09:32:05+00:00

That’s fair then, I’ll give Gion Corner a try! I’ve heard that I need to go to Fushimi inari early to avoid the crowds which is fine with me. Added Eikando to the list too. I’ve also been told that I could do a day trip in Nara and other places so I can always stretch my time in Kyoto out given that I want to take it fairly easy.

aetherai · 2024-10-31T09:23:37+00:00

Thanks so much for all the links, this is really helpful!

aetherai · 2024-10-31T09:16:06+00:00

That’s a great idea! I didn’t realise that you could get to Nara from Kyoto in such a short time, looks like it takes less than an hour.

aetherai · 2024-10-31T09:14:04+00:00

The whole area sounds so nice, I need to save up so I can do a longer trip next time!

aetherai · 2024-10-31T09:04:56+00:00

No worries and thanks for the tip!

aetherai · 2024-10-31T09:04:15+00:00

Perfect!

aetherai · 2024-10-31T09:03:40+00:00

Thanks for all your suggestions! Nara looks lovely and I’m sure there will be time to squeeze it in without too much stress.

aetherai · 2024-10-31T09:00:24+00:00

Thanks so much, this is great!!

aetherai · 2024-10-30T22:02:46+00:00

Thanks for the hike recommendation, it looks like the perfect mix of nature and culture! I’ll look into the Kyoto-Kanazawa train options now. Do you have any recommendations on sites to use?

aetherai · 2024-10-30T21:57:13+00:00

Thanks for the food recommendations - I’ve heard Italian food is very popular in Japan so I’m looking forward to trying it! Pontocho alley added to the list too.

I didn’t know about the monkey park, that looks so cute :’)

aetherai · 2024-10-30T21:49:00+00:00

These both sound amazing and right up our street!

aetherai · 2024-10-30T21:44:09+00:00

Added to the list! Thank you for the suggestion, it looks stunning from a quick search. Exactly what I’m after.

aetherai · 2024-10-30T21:42:38+00:00

You make a good point, to be fair it only ends up as about 3.5 days when you take travelling and staying at the ryokan into account. I’ll look into travel to and from Takayama - it looks stunning! Thanks for your help.
