The Berkeley crew went out last night for a nice dinner on the river in Kyoto (at a "Yuka" restaurant). We had kaiseki (more info here) which is expensive but good. I've never directly eaten an entire fish, very odd.

Before kaiseki, we took a tour of one of the Geisha districts with the guy that showed the "Memoirs of a Geisha" crew around in preparation for the movie (I haven't seen it yet). A great time and highly recommended tour.

After dinner, we went out to a couple of bars and met some new Japanese friends. A picture of our new friends is below.
