Return to Kyoto

After about 2 weeks on a roadshow, now I'm back to Kyoto!!
(But I'll be gone again the day after tomorrow for a conference in Beijing T_T)

My intention for this trip was to meet up with the old faces that have became parts of my life before I leave Japan. But I ended up meeting so many nice new faces along the trip. If I don't get to see you again in Japan, I'll definitely see you guys in Thailand or somewhere on earth! Stay in touch!!! ^^
