What does Kyoto mean to you? When you think of Kyoto, perhaps you think of Zen gardens, moss gardens and tea-houses? Or maybe it calls to mind temples and carp pools? Geishas and cherry blossom? Nintendo?
Here is a conversation I had with a lawyer friend of mine, and this (though I have mentioned it before) is why I love lawyers:
Me: I have a six-day holiday next week.Friend: Nice! Are you going somewhere?Me: Probably Kyoto.Friend: Ah. The protocol place.

It's known for other things? Would never have guessed.
1. You have a six day holiday? Very nice. How come?
2. Of course Kyoto is Kyoto protocol... don't you dare tell us about other things in that place and tarnish the purity and simplicity of that association!
I thought it would be about the Protocol too, after seeing the title.
Kyoto Protocol. Yes, that's what I thought on reading the question too. Before reading the rest. "The Protocol Place."
Now I read the other comments. Hehe. Precisely, bairer desher lokera Kyoto boltey Protocol-i bojhey. Onyo kichhu suniyini kokhono!
i thought of this. first time i'd ever heard of kyoto; thought it was a misspelling of tokyo.
umm... protocol was the first thing that came to my mind too. obviously.
^Ditto. This time it's not lawyers, it's just you.
You're becoming inordinately poetic and literary for a lawyer.
@Spaz Kumari: Thank you. You are a beacon of hope.
@all the rest: There are way too many law-students/aspiring law-students/lawyers reading my blog.
@IP: Golden Week.
@Pratiti: Literature's loss is the Legal World's gain. :)
That line toh I keep reading everywhere. X's loss in Y's gain. Where did it first appear?
And moteo na. You just don't like your climax to be deprived of it's climax-ness. (Climacticity? What is the right word?)
The above comments vindicate my thinking. I do not think to weirdly or lawyerly, it would seem. It gladdens my heart.
