A quiet Tuesday in Kyoto

The weather is somewhat inclement today, but I'm not complaining about a bit of rain as it is the tail end of Typhoon Noul which killed two people in the Philippines. I met up with a colleague who now works in Japan and we had lunch and explored a mall and the railway station (getting to feel a little less overwhelming).  I also decided to cancel a side trip to the mountains as I'd have needed to travel for six and a half hours the day before boarding a 10-12 hour flight back home. Seemed a bit masochistic for a day in the mountains!  Think I'll just chill in Kyoto instead.

Was more adventurous tonight with dinner.  I couldn't resist the sign!

 It felt like an inexpensive and  traditional joint with an eclectic range of Japanese diners . No English translation and the pictures didn't match the ones outside but I ate.
