when people get the surfing fever, all they can think of is to surf, surf, and surf. just to ride anything is better than not riding at all. one way to get rid of the fever is to surf the wake behind a jet boat.
and if anybody knows about the surfing fever, it’s me. i’ll ride anything at anytime!
lake biwa is so beautiful! beautiful but kind of weird. after i finished surfing, my skin felt so smooth. felt like i just got out of an onsen. no salt, no taste, and just weird for me because i’m not use to that. anyway, here comes the set! you want to go left or right?
Oshima-san is like a kid. all he can think about is surfing! and if you have no ocean nearby, this is the closest you will ever get to the real thing.
gosh, i felt like i was in hawaii! everything was just perfectly warm and blue. i rode a few long waves and had a wonderful time. can’t wait to do it again.
then back to the cultural city of kyoto, where trains run in the middle of the street. so cool!
went to a really authentic sushi restaurant. old, traditional, and real.
see the basket on the left? that’s how they use to store the cooked rice back a thousand years ago. culture still going strong here.
had a great time with the surfer boys and surfer girl! thank you Oshima-san, Saori-san, and Aki-san for the wonderful day and night in kyoto. keep the surfing fever alive! see you boys and girl in the ocean soon!
to me, sushi is art! i can sit at any sushi counter just watching and watching for hours. i’m learning, i’m experiencing, and i’m soaking in thousand of years of culture. this was my take out bento for today’s lunch. a lunch i will enjoy up in the mountains.
you will never ever find something like this in hawaii. the art of sushi, kyoto style.
thank you again Oshima-san for the wonderful cultural experience. i learned a lot about your beautiful city of kyoto!
