An Eternity of Waiting...

Means you, my lovely readers, are probably pretty impatient for some updates. So, here they are:

During the last two months or so, I've taken a second trip to Kyoto, visited an elementary school, eaten at a kaitenzushi (sushi on a conveyor belt) restaurant, listened to an Irish seisun in the middle of Kyoto, been to a festival dedicated entirely to giant plush mascots, ran around Hikone castle with Ayaka <3, and lots more, making some new friends in the process. I apologize for the lack of posting -- a few of these trips involved misbehaving cameras (or the complete lack thereof), and so I've had to wait to get some of these pictures from my friends, but I will be posting tidbits here and there to fill you all in a bit.

Today we celebrated Thanksgiving -- turkey, pumpkin pie, and all -- and tomorrow I'm heading off to Ishiyama for an interview at a Japanese orphanage for a presentation I'm doing. Hope it goes well :] In the meantime, enjoy the random, unexplained photos!
