The (not) surprisingly thing is that this work out perfectly in Japan : […]
Off to Kyoto
Off to Kyoto now for APRICOT 2005. Sleep really late last night (3am) and have to wake up at 6am to rush for the flight and almost couldn’t make it. Luckily I did because I have a dinner to rush to immediate upon arrival. Oops, last call now. See you in Kyoto!
