Less than two weeks into my stay in Kyoto

I have been here less than two weeks, and have learned the bus, subway and train systems.  It is a huge cit of 1.5 million people.  Mostly I think about breadcrumbs -- like Hansel and Gretel, I need to find my way back to the office and to the apartment.  So every time I go exploring, I look at the map every few blocks, and turn around to see what it will be like returning.
