Two and a half week Kyoto top 5 Lists

LOVE
1. Warm moist face cloths that you receive in restaurants to wash your hands before eating.
2. Japanese cell phones.
3. Japanese WESTERN style toilets with heated seats, bidets, etc.
4. Ofuro - Japanese baths - delicious and relaxing.
5. Walking up a long flight of stairs from the subway into the sunlight. It feels renewing.

Could do without...
1. Smoking in restaurants.
2. In bathrooms: lack of paper towels, only cold water, the hole in the ground toilets.
3. Homogeneous society, being stared at.
4. Expensive fruit (which I have decided just to buy anyway.)
5. No napkins in restaurants.
