Kimi: Awesome!
Kjeld Duits: @Kimi: It is quite an imaginative and daring project, I thought. How many trade exhibitions would allow something like this. It shows the healthy respect for creativity the organizers have. And yes, we are extremely happy about the 2020 Tokyo Olympics!
Kimi: Wow! Get your portrait drawn by an artist in a bath tub! LOL! Cool event. You must be excited about the Olympics, huh?

Kjeld Duits: @Stef: Until last Sunday I never had to stay in Kyoto, because I lived nearby, so I’m afraid I can’t really recommend any place. But it is quite easy to find reliable information on the net about lodgings in Kyoto.

8Wonderful Japanese Antiques, Hidden Away at Yoyogi Park
Jul 01 2013: Find something old and special—or new and artsy—at Yoyogi Oedo Antique Fair, held monthly at Tokyo’s Yoyogi Park
maya smith: Love that purple-ish boots. It would look great w/ a bootcut jeans. You can never go wrong the boot-and-bootcut-jeans tandem.
Carrott: OMG, OMG, so many treasures!!! Those fabrics, which could I re-make, a and old teddies bears, and monkeys – I would foster a few! Of course the most fatigued ones.. :D I remember flea market in Amsterdam, when I used to live there, now I live in small town in UK and the only opportunity to find something like that is Sunday car-boot, but – unfortunately – not sooo attractive like a real flea market at all. Don’t mention Japanese one!
mary: thank you!
