Kyoko's Dad & rice

This is a tradition every year, held in front of Kyoko's Mum's coffee shop.

Kyoko & I @ NYE 2000
Kyoko & I at the mega gathering in Osaka's baseball field for their NYE 2000 'celebration'.
It was cold but the sake was warm, and it was rare that you'd get enough space to kick.

Me @ Ryoanji
Me contemplating at Ryoanji in Kyoto. This is the famous rock garden
which contains 15 strategically placed rocks, which can never be seen
simultaneously no matter from which angle you look. (LP p428)

Kyoko @ Ryoanji
