Old School

another lovely day today hanging out with michael and takami. today we went to kurashiki, where i have been a couple of times before, but for work so didnt get the chance to sightsee at all.

there is a lovely little part of kurashiki called old town -nicknamed 'little kyoto'- and it is very quaint, the kind of thing you picture when you imagine japan. pity the whole place isnt like it.

we actually went there to see our friend mayumis art exhibition. she had some paintings and ceramic wares in a very cute gallery in old town. though i loved her stuff -especially the paintings and her miniature little boxes- my favourite thing was the dinosaur egg style ceramic containers -i especially loved the purple and yellow one.


so after we saw the exhibition, we wandered around for a little bit, there were heaps of vendors along the river making jewellery. a few stalls were selling brooches of peoples names, with a silver leaf. they looked pretty cool all lined up. then we grabbed some lunch and headed back into fukuyama.

generally a nice day. though now i have to plan my sayonara voice lesson at nova. grrr i wish i hadnt made promises of slideshows.... oh well. keep me occupied for a while.
