Monday 31/12/18 in Saga

on
Getting up a bit late and had a late breakfast. Mike made toast as usual. We went to the family grave with Noriko's dad and offered incense. We got dropped off at the shopping centre afterwards. Mike got his pyjamas finally and new underwear. It is Noriko's family tradition to have new underwear for the new year. We found a 100yen shop and looked for some stuff.
We found a rubber spatula spoon. We carry chopsticks in case we eat out so that we don't waste the disposable chopsticks. We also wanted a spoon to carry so that we don't have to use the plastic disposable ones but also we wanted it to be a rubber one to get all of the pudding or yoghurt.
We walked home

Monday 14/01/19 Yakushima

 We decided to go to Shiratani unsuikyo because it might rain tomorrow and we might not be able to visit there if it rains a lot.  On the bus on the way up, the bus driver spotted some monkeys and stopped for us to take some photos. How nice! We ordered this onigiri (rice-ball) lunch in a bamboo leaf. Noriko could not wait until lunchtime and had one in ohara town where we chenged the bus.  Dinner on the way home featured the local fisherman's flying fish. It was delicious! It was 1300yen including the dessert.

Thursday 20/12/18 to Kamikatsu

We caught the first ferry back to start an epic trip to Kamikatsuchou. Our ducks came out for lunch. We got a lift from our next hosts to save us from some bus hopping to get to this tiny mountain village. It is famous for its recycling efforts, and people come from all over Japan to learn how to improve their local recycling programs. A lot of effort at the recycling centre goes into sorting things into hundreds of categories. Onsen food for a very early dinner. The homestay at a local farm was fantastic.
