| | .Tokyo, Yokohama, Kyoto, and Okayama.
So I went to Tokyo...once again! This time I had an interview at the Major League Baseball company in Tokyo with their managing director, Jim Small. If I got the job, I'd basically be a day-to-day liaison between MLB and sponsors in China and Taiwan, which is why the position calls for strong Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and English fluency. I also met my visiting sister in Tokyo!!
 
Devil Hello Kitty
Nakamise-dori in Asakusa
Senso-ji
 
Dinner in Shibuya with Ayaka and Tetsu
 
A quick train ride to Yokohama with Tetsu as our escort, and we ended up at our beautiful Intercontinental Hotel Yokohama. Look at the view from our room! It was incredible.
 
Fortunately, Tetsu was our nightlife guide in Yokohama and since he is DJ Tets, he has contacts everywhere! Here we are at Bridge in Minato Mirai with Sanno-chan, Izumi-san, and of course Tetsutaro.
 
Dim sum at Hei Chin Rou was delicious, of course!
 
Sami & Mamoru with our desserts
Je visited my school in Kumenan! The students loved her.
 
Cleaning period & with the squealing little first year girls!
 
After lunch period
After a sweaty and particularly fun hip hop class with Marshall
 
Kyoto (second time)
 
Kiyomizu-dera
Cobblestone streets with charming, quaint architecture
 
Smooch!
Yasaka-jinja, one of my favorites
 
I mean, how could you not love the sight of all those beautiful lanterns?
Dinner in Gion, where we glimpsed a couple maiko hurrying along the street.
A dressed-up cat in front of Kyoto station, where I also "bumped into" Ishiyama sensei!
 
Hozu-gawa River Trip
...which conveniently deposited us at Arashiyama!
Fushimi Inari Shrine...gorgeous! I loved the endless rows of red torii gates!
 
It's a must-see if you ever visit Kyoto!
