For the red leaves,  Ah Mui postponed the work

It was scheduled for 4 days working in Kyoto, but Ah Mui only had to work for 2 days .  The place for photographing is full of temples.  Some of the shots were taken in the country area.  It takes several hours to travel there.  To spare Ah Mui of the traveling, the director had arrange someone to take Ah Mui's part, really very considerate.

The leaves in the temple have already turned red.  The director only wanted Ah Mui to stroll in between the trees, or just sitting at the bench contemplating, no big movement for her.  But she had to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning, to have the make up, so she looked a bit tired.  But once she was under the camera, she immediately in very good condition, very professional..  When she didn't have to be under camera, she stayed in the room of the temple.  There was heater inside the room, and she also got shawl to keep herself warm.

It got dark very early, so they finished work at 4:30p.m.  Because of the traffic jam, Ah Mui would arrive at her hotel at 6:30p.m.  She didn't go anywhere shopping as she tried to get as much rest as possible.  During those days, she mainly had noodle with soup and congee, as she wanted to keep her stomach warm.  No sashimi at all.
