Good evening,
Today Me, Mitsuko and Tim went to Ginkakuji. We went by bus. It was fun.
Later,
Chris

Sorry not a whole lot to say today. We went there and then to the martial arts complex which was pretty cool. Tim is into Kendo. We walked around for awhile then took the bus home again. Mitsuko (quite lovely) grew up in Kenya and came here to study global environmental conditions at Kyoto university for her masters degree. Tim is here to Teach English and is from Canada. The other people I've gotten to know here are interesting too. Oliviah (or whoever you spell that, French name) is from France and is studying food anthropology. He moved from farm to farm in Rural Japan studying the way food is cultivated and distributed in Japan. He showed us some of his food concepts. He creates gatherings to bring people together and break social barriers. Such as teachers and students. He is the one who setup our dinner get together here at Yurakuso. I like his ideas and concepts recorded in film. Another person I've met here is Taka (very lovely also)who is actually from Japan. She has lived in Isreal for a number of years importing textiles from Japan, but moved back right when the major fighting started again there. She is currently studying to teach Japanese. David actually just moved out, but is from California and is studying Judo here and just got a job so he can stay. Lastly is Sibyll (something like that) who just moved in the night we had the dinner. She is from Switzerland. Not sure what she is doing, can't quite remember. I'm going to hang out with her tomorrow somemore so I've figure it out. Well that is all for now.
