Humans of Kyoto

At this moment I am at the Netherlands (Europe)
I see a lot more people selling Haori jackets and Kimono s. Both vintage and new. I love it when people wear second hand/ vintage. I am a great fan. Especially this style would add to the traditional things people wear in Holland. Now I hope to see more people wearing it! It really is 😎 so cool.

I used to be a teacher at a college in Osaka. Did it for almost 40 years!
Recently I studied Chinese and now, I am 70 years old, I like tot talk to Chinese people about Zhou Enlai. He was first Premier of the People's Republic of China and very important.
This memorial is commemorating Zhou Enlai, and the good things he has done for the relationship between China and Japan. The stone contains one of his poems. He studied also here in Kyoto and in Tokio.

I love to talk about history and practice a little Chinese. A lot Chinese people come here, they love to remember Zhou Enlai. Sometimes they even bring a flower.
Within a few minutes I am going back home. My wife makes dinner and my grandson is coming. My home is half an hour biking, it is across the bridge and a little mountain up but that's good for my body.
