I have put some new photos in the gallery of our snowboarding trips.
We went for the final time on Monday to Hakkoda. The last time we went only the small lift was open due to winds, this time the small one was closed due to lack of snow and only the higher one was running. So we got to snowboard through the forest. It was all pretty good fun.
The photos of snowboarding from throughout the season are here:
On another note I thought this was a crazy way to light a barbecue. But then at the Itayanagi cherry blossom barbecue I saw this… they even let a 7 year old girl have a go with it!
On Friday I had two chances to go to the Hirosaki cherry blossom festival. One was with my Japanese teacher (In total 6 of us went) in the morning and then again in the evening with the Harako family who are living at Hiraka Chapel and taking care of it. It was my first time seeing cherry blossoms in Japan and it is just incredible how big a deal they are to the Japanese people… They are beautiful though!
You can see some pictures of it here:
The crazy photos of lighting a BBQ are great!
Great photos! I’d luv to light a BBQ that way – none of this burning your hands using small match sticks!
Awesome photos Ormo,
Hope ur feeling better soon too!
