68 minutes is how long it took me to get from Minoo Station to Arashiyama. and that is including transfering at Ishibashi, Juso and Katsura. here are a few images before bedtime. i just finished watching a good Columbo episode unfortunately it was one i had just watched before leaving for Japan. i say unfortunately because i have been waiting for Columbo (not that i don`t enjoy all the Japanese programs but this is a favorite show and it is in English) since i saw it on last thursday. there was a problem with the channel that it was on . . . for some reason it would cut off between 9pm and 930pm. but, that channel would still be on the tv downstairs. fushigi na (mysterious). the mystery was solved last night. more about that another time. anyways, it was a good episode.
