I’m off to Japan tomorrow: a few days in Osaka for Hanami (cherry blossom festival), then a few days in Kyoto. Thankfully I managed to finally find a hostel in Kyoto, as I was imagining having to sleep on a park-bench somewhere.
Going to see a baseball game in Osaka, which should be cool. I’ve only seen one before in Boston, where we managed to sneak in (shhh).
Hello Lost In Translation!
JEALOUS!!!
Hope you have a fantastic time, I have so many great memories of Japan and am still regularly in touch with friends there. The Hanami is particularly special and every Spring I get nostalgic for an Asahi beer and riceball under a cherry tree. I met Andrea in Japan, did you know?
Make sure you post some photos and have a few Kirin, Sapporo and Asahai for me (and Andrea!)
Campai!
Cheers Ade. Wish I knew more than “thank you, hello and goodbye” in Japanese. Everybody is very friendly and helpful so far – you only have to look a little bit lost and people will stop and help you.
A few beers to be had today, just to help the body-clock out.
Niceeee!!
We took the boys to Kew Gardens on Sunday to specifically have a picnic at the Japanese Garden and take photos of Sam and Harry in the outfits sent by Japanese friends in front of the Tori. They were hungry and squawked throughout the shoot.
Managed a token Becks as a nod to the beers gone by under a Japanese sky…………
Enjoy the real thing.
