But mostly what I noticed on the way home was the utterly oppressive\ntraffic that cherry blossoms and fall foliage bring to Kyoto, particularly\non the outskirts like where I live<\/span> in Okazaki.

Travel by motorcycle or scooter is a lot<\/span>\neasier, but bicycle, train, and\/or feet are much better. During this\nseason, bus, taxi, and car are for the crazy or angelically patient.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
