Leeds
Last november I went to a conference in Germany and I made some useful contacts there, also with one professor from Leeds University

So I contacted him again and he invited me to come over to Leeds to meet him there. Prof.Paul Waley is famous in his field and he wrote very good books about Tokyo and the Japanese urban space. I was curious to see how he would react to see me again and what he would think about my research. But finally we spend some nice 2 hours talking, having lunch and exchanging some good information about our common subject :)

I was happy about this experience and the possibility to meet him, and on my way back I walked through Leeds, thinking it seems to be a nice city and so I had a really nice day out of Manchester ...soon again, I will come, that is for sure ...
