Kyoto, 8 April: Right in the middle of town, I encountered a big truck filled with organic apples from Aomori. The guy in red is our Apple Man.	8 big Fuji Mutsu apples for 500 yen - which is very cheap (1 non-organic one can cost 200-300 yen in shops.) And they smelled lovely!
Only afterwards I noticed sign on the back of the truck, in English, "please don't take any photos, but if you buy some apples, it's ok" - oops! I hurried to Obanzai, an organic restaurant nearby, to meet Íris for an "eat as much as you want" meal (for about 8 pounds per head - and less than 4 pounds at lunchtime!)
The hot food section: delicious tofu burgers, croquettes, bean curry, soup, oden.	17 tasty cold dishes, plus salad, rice, miso soup, pickles, etc.
Íris looking very happy with the choice of veggie dishes.	Some German tourists in the background...
Later, in Café Indépendants, a nice, big cafe in the basement of an old building and with an audiovisual gallery/performance space at the back.	Íris gave us an Icelandic Easter egg. Inside was the proverb: Vík skyldi milli vina, fjöður milli fraenda (Something like the Japanese proverb: "rather the friends close-by than the family hundreds of miles away"?? I might be completely wrong - blame the booze!)
