After arriving in Tokyo, seeing some sights, and trying to get over jet lag, we have arrived safely in Kyoto and have recommenced the RENKEI experience. Last night we were treated to an amazing buffet dinner in a hotel, where we had the chance to reconnect with the other participants and organisers. Then this morning we awoke bright and early, in order to enough a traditional breakfast in the ryokan. In addition, we had the opportunity to experience a traditional hot springs bath in the ryokan, which soothed away all the stress and pains from travel.
Today was spent at Kyoto university, where we received very interesting and informative presentations on disaster resilience and on the traditional machi-ya housing of Kyoto. The afternoon was spent reconnecting with our small groups and preparation for tomorrow's group presentation on the development of our projects to industry. This evening we were again treated to an amazing buffet dinner at Kyoto university, while tonight was spent tuning up individual presentations. Being a RENKEI participant is hard work; but it's all worth it!
I will leave you with some pictures before trying out the bath again before we check out of the ryokan tomorrow!
