Happy Birthday to Fiona

So, we've just spent a long weekend in Osaka. It's a crazy concrete place, filled with mad shoppers, pimps and pachinko parlours. We managed to find some kulcha, watched incomprehensible Kabuki for five hours, and an incomprehensible street parade for three. Luckily it was a good town to drown our election sorrows (ugh - we're moving to Paraguay next) and to commune with Kitty.
