... a special mushroom planting drill bit. The mushroom spores are on wooden plugs, which we hammered into the holes. We watched our host go on a rampage with his backhoe to find trees for us to inoculate, knocking down what would amount to a small forest. The 1500 mushroom plugs we planted will be available to eat in two years!
We also did some other stuff like package dried sweet potatoes (they taste kind of like dates and are very good). We ...
Training!!
... fun. And drinking continued until 4:30am when half of us decided to go home. We stayed up chatting until the rest of them got home at 7am and then went to bed until 10am. So Saturday was spent recovering and taking a lovely walk to Omiya Park to see the shrine, the very depressing zoo (I almost cried seeing the lonely hyena in his concrete cage) and then off for soba noodles for dinner. Sunday we went exploring around Omiya station, explored the shops and had lunch at ...

After that we went to a wind ...

We have a nice map ...
Oarai Aquarium
Today we went back to the Oarai Aquarium. It was a good afternoon to do it – a grey, rainy Monday. It was quiet and peaceful. It took a couple of hours to go through it, so we ended up timing it really well. Bernd had worked the night shift last night and gotten back home around 7:30 AM. He slept 'til around 1 PM, and then we headed out. It's a very nice aquarium – well laid ...
