I’m charging up before I make the trek over to Kyoto today. Charging up as in myself with 2 warm cans of coffee (yes, cans!) and secondly my laptop. I’m literally sitting in the lobby of my hotel since it is the only area that has an American power outlet. Last night, one of the hotel workers at the front desk suggested that I go to Bic Camera to buy a power adapter for Japanese outlets. However, when I came back the one in my room required a screwdriver for the ground connector. They didn’t have a screwdriver for me to use in the lobby or it was just lost in translation. Ok, back to coffee. I’ll update this with more trip notes once my coffee has kicked in and my laptop is all charged up.
