Hi folks,

This is just a short message to say I'm safely arrived in Kyoto. I'm staying in
Nagaokakyo, 4 stations south of Kyoto on the way to Osaka, which is not so bad -
quiet and suburban, nice mountain views. There's a large park with a temple
nearby, and I'm quite close to a couple of different train lines, so it's easy
to get into Kyoto and so on.

On Monday I'll be off to Osaka for orientation - first day in the new suit - and
I'll be finding out where I'll be working and getting a mobile phone.

It's been quite easygoing up until now, as I've had free time to look around,
try and work out what to eat and how to find it, visiting a couple of friends I
met in India and getting to know a few of their friends, so I'm already into the
Japanese hippy scene! :-)

Until next time,
Shen
Aum Mani Padme Hum
