Kameyama

It was nice having Kaori taking us around again. She's like an auntie to me you know. We went to see a gallery out in Tea Land where there is tea growing as far as you can see. After that we visited an old junk shop with a whole lot of interesting things from the past. I could have spent hours here.


Shunsuke's house, Keijuan is the epitome of a Japanese home. It has Shōgi screen doors that slide, even the main door. Most of the home is made of wood and rice paper. The kitchen and bathroom uses gas. The toilet has an option to wash your bum and there is a deep tub to submerge yourself. The shower is a room, not the usual glass box. The bedroom floors are tatami mats, which looks like finely woven bamboo. It's soft to walk on. There are futons in the cupboard. I love this place.








Later on we went for a walk to see an old friend and gave him a big hug.


Then some girls showed up at Tsukinoniwa and took us out for drinks and a meal.

As usual I'm happy to tackle new foods. This time is was some kind of shell fish that looked like a small octopus tentacle covered in slime attached to a bit of fish gut. I've got it in the chopsticks right between that guys legs in the background.

I think this is my legitimate "I'm gonna be sick" face. What ever it was, that wiped the smile right off my face.
