Yakushima
... It was flying fish fried with a vinegar and mustard flavoring. I was a little sad when I finished it.
Yakushima island is an amazing place. When you get off the boat the many peaks on the island tower over you. There are over 40 distinct peaks. The island is at a subtropical location but with many mountain peaks reaching well over 1500 feet high there can also be snow. There is also a large variety of life both flora and fauna. The ...
Wanderung
... diesmal standen 16 Schalen pro Person auf dem Tisch.

Yakushima 2: Yakisugi Land Cedar Forest
... it latches onto your finger until you squash it on a rock or some such surface. Lovely.
Second, the rocks with moss are not that slippery. The round wooden steps without moss are slippery as hell, and I have the scrape to prove it.
