Doshisha Days

Not much to report on the Kyoto front at the moment, buckling down for the end of the semester crunch. To be honest, not a whole lot happening, a few tests and a paper, both of which are not that intimidating. This weekend is the Gion Matsuri, perhaps the largest festival in Japan, and this weekend the streets of downtown Kyoto will be closed to motorized vehicles and the street vendors will be out, selling their wares. I will, of course, be taking as many photographs as possible, displaying some on this site when I get around to it.

A friend from the US is arriving next week as well. We will be kicking it in Japan for a while before spending two weeks in the Middle Kingdom, for some shameless tourism and cheap food.

More on the Gion Matsuri later in the weekend...
