Hello!!
I'll go to Kyoto this summer (July). I already went last year (only for a few days) and did like that town. But I would appreciate it far more I think if I could see it with people from Kyoto. And I could see other things that "tourist" ones.
So I'd like to meet people (and become friends, I hope ^^ ) from there and who'd be okay to spend a few time with me, showing to me things he/she likes, going out at night and so on...
I now introduce myself:
I'm a 23 years old french boy, I can speak a few japanese and english (I make tons of mistakes but usually I'm understood). I'll probably come with one or two friends. If you're a girl and /or shy : don't be afraid, we're very nice and of course respectful. Nothing to be afraid of!! ^^
Well, if you have any questions or if you're interested, please let me know! n_n

hi, KamiSeiTo!
i wanna know when you will come in July.

peace.

I didn't book anything yet, but probably the three firsts weeks or the three lasts weeks.
By the way, I'm also looking for cheap place to live (room, guesthouse, youth hostel... I don't know) in Kyoto. If anyone knows a good one... n_n

Hey there,

Just try hostelbookers.com or just use a searchengine; you'll find tons of hostels and hostelbooking sites.

I hope you do realise that in June there's lots of rain and July/August Kyoto and most of southern Japan is like a sauna with its very high humidity, so be prepared to sweat a lot!

Kind regards,

Jasper

Thank you for these informations!! n_n I know about summer in Japan but... I can go there only in July... ^^"

I also would like to know, is it possible to find "homestay" (I'm not sure of the word, I mean, living with a family)? If anyone knows good adress or is interested in it. Of course I can do it too if the person wants an exchange (and is interested in coming in France. n_n)

No one ???
If you want to send me mails (I'm looking for people who could show me Kyoto "see it threw japanese eyes" this July), my adress is my pseudo, in small letters, @msn.com
Please don't let me alone!! ^^"
