Grateful for:
- Buying a stack of new books to read at e green books bookstore, including a book on Not Buying.
- Finding a hidden paradise of a cafe on top of the hill in Kyoto. One has to follow a mossy stone path first past houses then through a forest to find it and the atmosphere and interior were very rustic and homely, I just sat there not wanting to leave after we finished our meal, daydreaming staring out the window into the panorama of Kyoto. http://www.mo-an.com
- Packing everything and cleaning the place in preparation for departure.
- Seeing contemporary Japanese art and sculpture exhibition in Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art.
- Discovering a way to quickly store youtube videos on iPod using http://keepvid.com
- Finding 2 great ways to give and earn: microfinance and p2p lending. Even though most sites are for US citizens only at least it was great to find out about the concepts to investigate further later.
- Having a lovely salmon & brie salad for dinner at http://www.traction-bookcafe.com
- Sorting and uploading a few photo batches to Flickr.
- Catching up with people on Facebook.
- I am extremely introspective.
