I have been a computer gamer since I got my first PC in 1999 and I have seen how games come and go each year according to the trend. Doom, FIFA series, Theme Hospital, Red Alert, SWAT are all among the titles that I have played over the years. However…
Love at first sight. That’s how I describe the scenic Arashiyama. When we were preparing for the trip to Kyoto, photos of attractions in Arashiyama were the first ones to draw my attention. True enough, on day two of our Kyoto trip, my wife and I were fascinated with the…
