Day 6
Since we arrived to Kyoto the before, they decided to show us around the town this day. We did some sightseeing and visit Kiyomizu-dera (a Buddhist temple in eastern Kyoto), Kinkaku-ji (the Golden Pavilion) and some other places which names I can't remember...
Day 7
This day we had some alone time ^-^ Me and my mom decided to do some shopping since we had to buy some souvenirs for our relatives and friends c: Tho I bought stuff through the whole trip so I decided to include them to this day!

Day 8
Now it was time to head towards Osaka! On our way there, we stopped in Nara and went to see Tōdai-ji (the Buddhist temple complex) and the deers *-* Oh my they were so cute~
Day 9
Our last full day in Japan! To be honest, this was my least favorite day of them all but I have a good reason for it. I mention in the first part that I'm frightened about heights. Well, During this day we went to visit the Umeda Sky Building, this 40-story tower that goes up to 173 meters. And this is where we had to go through those see-through escalators... The idea itself freaked me out even before we went on the trip and finally I got there and had to face them >-< I know that I might sound such a sissy but everyone who's afraid of heights can relate to me! Well we went up with the crew and I was one of the first ones to enter the escalator and tried to keep myself calm and not to watch through the windows. And then came the moment when I literally felt like I was going to die for the first time in my life. All of a sudden I heard a loud thump and when I looked right before me I could see a this large thing coming towards me. It was a man from our group that fell on me and the lady who was standing before me right in the middle of the escalator, when there was literally nothing below us than the metal structure that kept the escalator in the air. I don't know what happened and why he fell and of course I know that there's no way that the escalator could have fallen down or break or something but still. It was the longest minute of my life and my mom told me I looked like a white sheet for the rest of the day since I got so pale out of the shock... So yeah, happy memories! >'D (Oh yeah, we also visited the Osaka Castle but nothing interesting to tell about it really)

That's pretty much it! On the 10th day we just left to the airport and headed back to Finland. Ugh, I just want to go back already. So many things I still want to see~ And do you know the feeling when you go to a certain place and you just feel like you belong there? Like it's all just so familiar and you feel that you've been there your whole life. No? Is it just me? Haha, I don't know but that was the feeling I had most of the time!
