My Life in Kyoto

Takano
Fugu restaurant
Firestation
This is the Takano area, near where I live. A Fugu restaurant in Takano. Fugu is puffer fish and is poisonous if not prepared correctly. A firestation: there are a lot of wooden buildings in Kyoto so the risk of a big fire is high.
Kyodai
My desk
Kyodai canteen
This is the university, where I work. My desk, where endless innovation is achieved! At the university canteen one can usually find cheap, healthy and tasteless food.
Modanyaki-ya
100 yen shop
A temple
We sometimes go to a modanyaki restaurant for lunch. Modanyaki is like okonomiyaki except has additional fried soba noodles. A 100 yen shop. In England we have 1 Pound shops but in Japan everything at a 100 yen shop is actually worth 100 yen. Pound shops are full of worthless junk. There are many temples and parks in Kyoto so I never get bored at weekends or lost for a place to find some peace.
