Los Inn Kochi

... at the top of Misen, to the jagged ridge leading to Tengudake.<br><br>Most of the way across, there were fairly well defined, though narrow, paths, but there were a few places where you literally had to hug the rock to get across. The surprising thing to me was how long the ridge is. It doesn't look far from Misen, but it really is. Before Tengudake, there is another point you must first reach and after it there are several more, going on, seemingly forever. We ...

... so I'm hoping to pull them off the card when I get back home at a CVS or something with a dedicated photo machine. Either way, I arrived in Kochi to the rain, and had literally 2 things on my list of things to see in the city--the castle (one of the originals in Japan) and the market. Sadly the latter was basically non existent due to weather and the castle, while nice was rather dreary during the day. However, there was a night ...

... mentre fuori diluviava. E prima di arrivare li sono stata in un onsen con vasca all'aperto vista fiume, e pioggia. Un tantino stile decadente e malinconico come panorama, ma bellissimo. Ora sono diretta a Muroto misaki, il capo a sud di Shikoku. volo a prendere il treno. Baci a tutti!

Primo traghetto che personalmente a me da una particolare libidine caricarci la moto e navigare per mare ogni tanto. Fiondo nell' isola di Shikoku , l' isola di un pellegrinaggio Zen da 1500 km attraverso 88 templi . Io la taglio a meta' naturalmente per montagne e dormo a Kochi altra citta' di mare e naruralmente si cena a base di sushi freschissimo . Sto viaggiando un po in fretta un mio amico a Shizuoka mi ha invitato ad andare ad Iwata a visitare la fabbrica della Yamaha .Potevo dire di no?

brianne made the mistake of NOT coming home and sitting right down to enter these details.... so now she barely recalls them :( ~but to make a long story short.... my friend shannon copp (a shiga JET) invited myself and two other shiga JETs (Nan, and Anna) to ...

In Hiroshima I visited the famous or infamous Atomic Dome(ground zero August 1945)and learned a lot of interesting details. The first atomic bomb was detonated at 600 meters above the city to maximize its lethal potential. It resulted in over 140,000 deaths including 14,000 Koreans who were forced in to ...

... lonesome with a beer, wondering what to do with myself. I wanted to go out and get a bit *****, but I was a bit shy about going into places on my own in a city where I knew no one. I had to find the right place. Nothing caught my eye as I wandered around the entertainment district. So many bars, but they were all tucked away up in the higher stories of buildings so I couldn't look in to check out the vibe. Then I stumbled across this place called Mac which I'd read ...

... had dedicated guys with poles to move the electrical wiring out of the way so the top eagle/point/decorative piece at the top didn't snag the lighting. Once again, Glen, Ashleigh and Brian got some fun stares and shouts of "Hello!" After we'd had enough of observing the little town of Saijo, we piled bakc in the car and headed back to Matsuyama. danjiri starting out large tipping danjiri danjiri's resting danjiri battle...?

... for me to meet? Unbelivable. I'm extra glad I had the wisdom to bring a gift or two as advance thanks for hosting me. About 10 other folks arrive, and we set up for sukiyaki. A couple large electric skillets go in the middle of the table surrounded by platters of raw veggies & meats. Everyone shares in chopsticking different items onto the pan & searing away. Light, fragrant smoke appears and people take turns grabbing what looks good ...
