In May 2006 I came to Japan to attend the International Conference on Toric Topology at Osaka City University, which was a rousing success. Before the conference, Polina and I spent some time walking around Kyoto, making sure not to miss the trail of thousands of orange gates called tori. |
We spent two nights camping by the river Yuragawa, near some villages 40km north of Kyoto. |
In Osaka we spent many a happy night over a long dinner. |
