Golden Week 2011

For my second Golden Week in Japan I went with a large church group trip by bus to Kobe and Kyoto. During this time the small Gifu Yohan Church group combined with our neighbors the larger Nagoya Yohan Church took a bus to two popular Japanese cities. As I am new to attending the church I met a lot of new people. It's not a terribly long trip to make from Nagoya and the company was entertaining. While it was a fun way to blow an otherwise unplanned day, I wouldn't really recommend visiting both Kobe and Kyoto in only one day. While we did go to a few good places there wasn't really much time to enjoy those places. There is just too much to see and those cities too far apart. In my case I have been to both of the cities before and was mainly going this time to hang out with new people and have something to do. Also I 'm a big fan of Kobe. It would be nice to live there someday.
