I wasn't trying to live up to the cliché by having a cat in the photo with me. I'm fairly allergic to cats. It's actually a very well-fed stray in my neighborhood who decided to beg for food from me and the photographer by rubbing itself all over us!
The next day we went to Kyoto with our friends and family. I'm still not sure what this taxi company thinks its name means...
Our hotel in Kyoto. We were kinda wondering how bad the place was going to be based on its name, but it turned out to be fairly serviceable. It has an excellent breakfast bar (awesome pastries!) which is included in your room rate.
Kinkakuji -- bling bling that puts the phattest crib to shame! It was originally a shogun's retirement home, but later converted into a temple.
Obligatory food p0rn: soba and tempura set. My family loved it. Kyoto has great soba and tofu and pickled veggies, but nothing else from what I understand.
Oyako-don a.k.a. Mother and Child Over Rice. It contains chicken and eggs, hence the name.
Shabu shabu!

by Mar January 13th, 2010 at 10:31 pmLovely photo of you. Are you going to use it as your official author photo?
Also, those pictures of food look delish!
by bettie January 14th, 2010 at 12:49 pmThanks, Dionne, e_bookpushers and Mar!
Edie - Don't drool too much. ;-)
Bettie - Thanks, but I don't think I'm going to use it as my official author photo. I'm using this one.
You should come out to Japan, so we can gorge ourselves with delish food! LOL.
by Nadia Lee January 15th, 2010 at 1:04 amMmmm...I would be heaven in Japan--food wise.
Love your author head shot!!
by Jennifer Shirk January 15th, 2010 at 12:45 pmJennifer - You should come visit me!!!!!! We should travel around Japan and pig out!
Thank you re: head shot!
by Nadia Lee January 16th, 2010 at 12:58 amSorry, but this is all I could think: "I want your jacket. I want your jacket. I want your jacket. I want your jacket. And your boots."

You shameless coveter of leather jackets ...! LOL. You can't have it. It's a present from Mom. She got it from Wilsons Leather, but not sure if they have a store in Europe.
You sure you want my boots? They're like super old. I'm surprised they're still wearable after all these years (and abuse; I'm very rough on my shoes), but I love them too much to throw them out.
P.S. Thank you tho!
