Kyoto Nishiki Market

June 9, 2008June 9, 2008 Posted in Food, photoshoot1 Comment

I promise I’ll start posting photos of London to prove I am actually here, but with so many photos from Japan I still haven’t shared, what am I supposed to do? While in Kyoto I wandered into Nishiki Market, Kyoto’s oldest food market. My sense of direction is terrible, but it was harder to find… Continue reading Kyoto Nishiki Market

London now

June 9, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized6 Comments

I doubt you would believe me if I say that the sky is blue for almost the entire week so I’ll show you instead. Along with the sky are ofcourse topless British men showing off their very pasty white chests for the world to see. Still can’t quite believe that a week ago I was… Continue reading London now

Tree Planting

June 4, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized2 Comments

Tree planting with the local kids and farmers, the trees were planted at the edge of the farms to prevent further erosion to the soil. Needless to say the kids were much better at handling a shovel than I was. On the flip side we got more local coverage again. This little guy is my… Continue reading Tree Planting

Coming to an end

June 4, 2008 Posted in travelLeave a comment

All good things must come to an end, and Kiritappu ended with another amazing feast. Set up in an old fishermen shed, the local women from the town cooked up a meal like nothing I’ve tasted before. Miso with fresh crab

Hamanaka Town Matsuri

June 1, 2008 Posted in travel3 Comments

We were lucky to be around when Hamanaka’s Festival was on. It’s a little town festival to wish for a good year during the seedling period, so small that it will never be on any tour group itinery. We helped out with making the mochi, which was later on tossed to the crowd for good… Continue reading Hamanaka Town Matsuri

Seafood in Hokkaido

May 26, 2008May 26, 2008 Posted in Food, travel3 Comments

Seafood in Hokkaido Originally uploaded by mirvettium I know I was in the right place in Japan, when the specialty bento box in Kushiro contained oysters. What I wasn’t expecting was the sheer volume and quality of the food in Hokkaido, especially in the region we were working at. The ocean is so close, that… Continue reading Seafood in Hokkaido

Kiritappu Wetland

May 24, 2008 Posted in UncategorizedLeave a comment

I’m typing this while staring outside the window of my bedroom at Pension Porch (quaint little pension, with fantastic food and a landlord who’s quite a character). Where I am geographically is more or less here. I’m in a little town called Hanamaka in Hokkaido, so remote that my Japan Lonely Planet guide mentioned the… Continue reading Kiritappu Wetland
