During Golden Week 2007 we visited Kyoto. During our stay we went to one of the famous traditional "furoshiki" or cloth wrapping stores. The quality and colour of the material was amazing. We even got to see the furoshiki that Mick Jagger bought last year!
The relatives are coming for Obon Yasumi, or the (very hot) Summer Holiday in Japan that everyone gets this time of the year for a few days. We need to air out the bedding (futon) for them to sleep on. It is tradition. Here is how it's done.
I went for a massage today at one of the studios run by the company where Mayu is learning massage therapy. There I show you some interesting toilet technology
A friend asked me to buy her obento bako here in Japan. I sent them with beautiful ohashi (chopsticks). She has trouble using them well and I promised to make a video. This is the first in a two part series. The second one is called "How to CHEAT Using Chopsticks."
I'm heading over to visit my old friends in the city where we used to live. They are getting on in age and just the other day I thought, "I need to go and see them." So that is where we are going.
We went hunting for more Mino yaki pottery during the weekend. Of course, in order to sustain our energy levels we needed to eat. And being a Japanese traditional hotel, we ate... traditional Japanese food. But it wasn't enough for Cam. It's never enough...
A friend asked me to buy her obento bako here in Japan. I sent them with beautiful ohashi (chopsticks). She has trouble using them well and I promised to make a video. I did. Then I made this video to show how to cheat using chopsticks. This is the second in a two part series.
Just another 18 minute video showing mundane things like driving, helicopters, feats of magic, Japanese homes, singing ducks, beta titanium alloy sheets, translation editing from Japanese to English to English, villages, mountains, landslides, Japanese food and ordinary things like that.
In this last episode, Stefnee takes Cam to her Garden of Eden and shows her all of the fruits (and vegetables) of her labour.
Stefnee & Cam relax on the hamock for a final farewell to everyone who took the time to share these unforgettable adventures with us!
We love you!
