Kyla and I headed off on our first road trip that didn't involve snowboarding this weekend. We decided to drive down to Kat's paddy field in Asashina, Saku. We "decided" not to take the expressway and took the scenic route instead! The above picture is of Mnt. Asama - an active volcano near Kat's house. When we got nearer to it, we could see grey smoke puffing out the top!
The navigator (aka my eyes) - feeling a bit poorly and dealing with it Japanese-style (hence the bird flue mask!)
We had dinner on Saturday night with some Japanese friends of Kyla's in Komoro city, which consisted of a yummy Japanese dinner set of unidentified meats, vegetables and fish. For desert we had cherry blossom sweets, wrapped in leaves!
On Sunday, we jumped back in the car to drive to Karuizawa to have a look around its huge shopping outlet and of course squeeze in a Starbucks.
Before we left for Saku on Saturday morning, I saw these promoters outside starbucks in the miserable sleety weather with carboard muscial instruments on their heads... I have no idea what they were promoting.
