日本へ

Time and money permitting, I am probably going to Japan for my friend Mo's wedding in April. (She hadn't even met this guy last time I talked to her in person; these are the perils of living an ocean away from somebody.) She has informed me on no uncertain terms that I cannot show up at this particular formal event in khakis and a button-down shirt; I probably need to get a dress of some description. I have not owned one since, I think, grade school? I no longer have the intense philosophical objections to such garments that I did in high school, but this is still going to be kind of a project. I have been looking at this site.

Also time and money permitting, I'd like to travel for a week either before or after. I'd really like to go to Kyoto, but would need to figure out some way to do it at least semi-cheaply.
