Day 3 of University Graduation Trip, Kyoto on May 2, 2017
Third day of our graduation trip in Japan.
The plan of the day was to visit the historic Japanese city of Kyoto. Among the sites to see were Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji. There was so many to see in Kyoto that we knew in advance we won’t be able to cover them all, so we just took our time touring the city.
BreakfastFrozen food from convenience store. I studied for very long how to heat this up, the result was that I should put this directly on stove (surprise that the tin foil won’t burn through).

Despite that I mentioned in the last post, that the immigration lines at Osaka Kansai Airport were ridiculous line, so it was half past 8 in the evening when we reached our Airbnb apartment near Kuromon Ichiba Market. But since we were university students and this was still early in the night for us, so we decided to take a walk in the surroundings and there came this post of the 0-th day of our Japan trip.

Flight Log of All Nippon Airways Flight 980 from Beijing to Osaka Kansai on April 29th, 2017
Chinese Labor Day Holiday in May, 2017. After discussions with my undergraduate classmates, we decided that this should be the time for our graduation trip, and we chose Japan as our destination.

5 nights, some tourist sites, a few meetings with friends and countless Pokemons later, I was on my return trip to Beijing on April 10th.
Check-in Counters at Chicago O’Hare Airport T4Those national flags should represent destinations from Chicago O’Hare. Just like any other US airport, the depth of the check-in areas were rather short here. By the way, shouldn’t Chicago’s practice of assigning each airline a fixed counter a waste of departure hall counters? (Especially for airlines like China Eastern that operated on sub-daily basis.)
