我在阅读季听讲座遇见艺术顽童克里斯

………..

After China I went to Japan did some events in Kobe/Osaka/Kyoto/Tokyo.

Thanks to everyone at BL Shuppan!

……..

I had a great time reading my book in Chinese and Japanese and found it very inspiring to see how the text is adapts to very different languages. In fact the Japanese translator Ryo Kisaka won an award for her translation of OH NO GEORGE! This page makes me laugh out loud. I wish I wrote that!! 🙂

Thanks to Melody Masako Yoshioka for her translations too.
