HARD, HARD, HARD! The trip

Hard to leave Japan when you wake up in a super luxurious room of the hotel with panoramic Kiyomi this sunrise over Takamatsu before enjoying a surprising Japanese breakfast but also hard to be a total noob blogger!

Because yesterday was EPIC FAIL for Master
Banana ... I spent all day sitting on the tatami ku my hotel room to make a mega post on the day of hallucinatory Otsuka Naruto but the evening after dinner, a script error an error of more manip have erased everything, Aaaargl! Banana

Well then I'll have no only to repeat the job in Panama and add a few posts on the Henro. Come back in the days following my return to France from chaos, Will there rab in the upload. ;-)

A Matsuyama, not far from the venerable Dogo Onsen, a spring for foot baths in public.

In the small twister Matsuyama streetcar, it's like in the Showa era.

And in modern trains the smokers have their aquarium design.

Better than fast food, the restaurant ramen, quick, cheap, good and healthy, yo!

Until the last samurai, some sketches of objects lying around that the rolls of rice straw wetlands planted outside on wooden stakes to train to be decided bodies.

In the dojo, under the watchful eye of the old sensei and the dead look of samurai armor, our guide trains in Iaido, the art of drawing the katana.

SAYONARA ARIGATO Shikoku
GOSAIMASHITA!

Turquoise And Lime Green Conchos

mad-crazy-crazy! LOL

Really is the feast to our senses and our neurons in Shikoku! Yesterday we were in
Saiwai kaikan, guest room, the campus of the University of Kagawa Takamatsu, where Thierry and I were together at Steve Convini (small super market open 24 hours on 24) so that it sends to a small fee directly to its heavy baggage in Tokyo before taking the train then the shinkansen, the Japanese service! Dear I do not see us as the "Tunisian Hassan Céhef grocer from whom it is possible ...

After taking leave of Steve we went to test the U-campus restaurant, not bad, not expensive and it ate well surrounded. bisounours Ambiance students on campus, no graffiti, sports grounds and students with low black bike everywhere everywhere sugoi ne!
the evening we found bloggers Delphine, David and his wife Yatsuyo in their home high-tech center for a vile Delicious curry prepared by Yatsuyo. Then Thierry, O our Chajin, Human tea, made us in the beautiful room with a tea ceremony tatami home made almost perfect, telling Japanese and French why and how sharing a usucha.

Coming to 23H, be clear for once, two ladies bicycle heard us, asking us if we are French and then if we Muchujin Shikoku. wow the surpise! One of the two will be the teacher of Japanese food on Monday! Well we should learn to make sushi, we would have liked something else, how to make dough udon, the specialty of raw but we will not complain. ;-)

This early morning departure by train to Tokushima, Naruto and its eddies and especially the museum Otsuka. The day started
commuter trains cushy well.

controllers, waving at voyagurs in entering and exiting the car is more of a likeable cool, it changes from us LOL!

was believed to arrive in Tokushima Downton with Steve that I had discovered 3 years ago at the Awa Odori dance festival, http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Awa-Odori the largest dance event in the streets after the Rio Carnival, where alcohol flows freely but in a good mood and a lack of aggressiveness incredible for us.

The Awa-odori ( 阿波 踊り , Awa-odori ^? literally "dance of Awa ') , named after the former province of Awa ) are special dances that welcome the annual arrival of the spirits of ancestors on earth alive. Nicknamed "dancing fools" because of the chorus that says: "What you're dancing or not, you're crazy, then you can dance", the Awa-odori certainly comes from the time when ' rice wine was distributed to the townspeople of Tokushima upon completion of a castle. Hence the assumed culture of drunkenness, but to please the Japanese, not a fight, not theft, no violence, just the big big fun!
The dancers of all ages, Pettis front, behind the old and young beauties in kimonos and cap room, walk and dancing in the streets chanting " Ah! Yatosa! Yatosa! , accompanied by the sounds of the shamisen , drums, brass and flutes. Of course after the parades you can join them, I urge you. Pretty amazing

as festive experience, if you have the opportunity to be in Japan in early August during the festival o-good, do not be afraid of the dead and drove into the Awa dance in Tokushima. Even without a hotel booked (they are all full) you can quietly sleep on the floor drunk in the street hahaha!!

But back to our sheep-bloggo arriving at Naruto Station.

Unfortunately we do not see that far from the famous Naruto whirlpools, each created by the tidal waves of the Pacific come furiously into the sea of Seto Inland Sea Japan.

And besides we disguised Henro san, not cosplay just a bus that brings us to our destination of the day Otstuka Museum of Art. In fact it will be especially Otsuka day 100% because we are greeted warmly by the administrative director of the museum Otsuka, Shusaku Tanaka san and the head of the communication delicious Asai Chiyoko san.

And the rest we'll do it again because this stew blogspot on my iBook has just fart in my face, just a bug to block the system and all the work done since this morning just disappear we'll see if alorts I can do it again since my Imac in Panama. Tonight is
stop the loose!

Women Strangling With Feet

for Master in Translation Soft Banana

day off for me today, I could grab some bananas I was missing these days through an understanding of our guests and I slept like Kobo Daishi beside the Buddhas and patriarchs as his statue in his bed Zentsuji.

But it's true that I face from the beginning a lot of demons that I still struggling tech updates of my serious blogonzo, I-book with little strength, slow connections, G9 Canon camera with almost no battery and blunders of various technoob fall on me as Gravelotte while I still have not Gokosho, the ultimate weapon anti-demons of Vajrayana Buddhism.

So today '"s I enjoy outage appaleril my photo to put some hard facts to Crobard, picked at random a few short moments of respite that left me a generous program of Minister Plenipotentiary Mie san.

What is unfortunate is that Steve had to leave us before the end of the stay ouiiin sniff and return to Tokyo today as the university claims the pain of blowing up his purse.
And in the stock market is sacred Gaudin LOL!
must be currently geek and downloader in the train to Tokyo as always ...

I'm a little sad to see him go because I do not know when we will review, at least it was great to have him with us because his fluent Japanese and talents of techno-geek has often saved the day.
Big up, son, and thank you, you pony Roxe as always!

Luckily good old Thierry is there to console me averc his antics and his hilarious imitations!

It goes from the more raucous joking to the absolute concentration of the tea ceremony, like the other night to celebrate in song of the surf we met with Masuda san where he served as a perfect tea master in hotel room with his own stuff brought from France, that's traveling companion!
All three I think we make the pilgrims Henro-san fairly non-standard Mouahah!
What the journalists rejoice because we had simmered Mie Ozaki a fairly rich media plan. It's simple, I can not count the interviews, newspaper articles (and not least Nikkei Shinbun, Asahi sinbun, Yomiuri Shinbun and other more local) and tv reports on three of Henro gaijin.
Funny, last night, leaving all three with Aki, David and his wife Yatsuyo an izakaya, a Japanese restaurant and bar where booze and typical one tastes a whole lot of delicious dishes, we had the surprised to bump into a group of Japanese who have recognized our way after a few hours before TV news (!) NihonNishin on TV.

(We'll see if we can put the vid on Utube or similar if you REALLY want me to do silly faces on TV eating udon mouhaha)

She was accompanied by two TV cameramen with whom we sympathize, that of KZS TV (local) met at the very beginning in the Temple in the Clouds and that of NihonNishin, quite alcoholic, who had a long shot that morning during our last visit to the temple pilgrimage.
Anyway, my companions were caring for my banana Flapper, we did not go partying or went to karaoke with bloggers, I had an energy level comparable to my battery.

But tonight it bathes my fanny then returned Ashita mata, see you tomorrow!

Good Fruits For Mucus

MONSTROUS

Day yesterday for the monster Henro bloggers!

Indeed the day's program consisted of a 5-km walk from the temple Shiromineji (81) and the temple Negoroji (82). Not a very long journey but on a rugged trail in the forest.

And contrary to predictions, walking and Japanese cuisine does not stop me to take 3 kilos a week ago which makes me a little progress on difficult terrain. The belly of Buddha Master Banana slows the pilgrimage is a fact and triggers jests and jeers from his classmates who have not yet understood the Buddhist concept of compassion, I think they are jealous of her success with the pilgrims of old age with his near perfect knowledge of Hanny Shingyo sang in unison Henro san. It is clear that a big gaijin who sweat, breath and whooping it always makes her laugh but it also requires compliance with the real pilgrims. At the last temple, after a souvenir photo session with the group that had accompanied their sutras, I even slammed a kisses to their guide, like what it pays the effort. Super
walk through a forest of trees on a trail Tiny hyper as always marked by a lot of signs, headstones indicating distances and many Buddhist statues

to arrive, a few dozen meters from the temple Negoroji before the huge statue of an oni Ushi, a scary monster of the forest-style beef.

The pilgrims were also a little monster haha but all very nice!
the afternoon, after dropping off our luggage and we greedily be restored to the hotel QKamura, arguably the most beautiful spot of the trip, atop a mountain overlooking the city of Sakaide and the huge suspension bridge Seto which runs between the islands of the sea of the same name and connects Shikoku to Honshu,

we went to Kappa Dojo.
A kappa is a different type of monster, like ugly frog with claws.

Haha yes it is the emblem Zen of Dojo lost in the mountain which is part of the Sotochu Sumuchu, Soto Zen school, which is also the most active in Europe and therefore that of Zen Butsu Zone while we are resolutely inter-sangha. Rather
also a center of anti-social assistance to teens who are struggling to organize themselves and especially to follow the common rule. So here it reformats with zazen and chambara, a derivative of sword fighting but foam! Down from the car, a pleasant smell campaign assailed our nostrils, like horse manure, in fact it was the fertilizer, but it changed a little of the infamous Steve farts. The center, which hosts a dozen students bad boys is located on an old farm where we made the soy sauce. Education rather salty, so. A monk-like Lee Van Cleef in kolomo rakusu gray and welcomed us for an introduction to zazen chouettos! So I offered to my dojo Kappa "Zen Stories cats." Then we entered the dojo ensuing letter to his instructions. Well it's pretty similar to what we do here in the western lands except it's done better, more martial, more precise and strict. What most Japanese. We went up to sit on its platforms covered with tatami but a futon rolled at the end wall in an alcove. I see the kind for sesshin, there is zazen, eat and sleep there without leaving the dojo. It was between 20 and 30 minutes of zazen, facing the wall, sitting on zafus not very thick. Obviously, the posture of Master Baban, considered the power of the sangha, was one of Dogen Guernica what the Mona Lisa, something deconstructed with knees at 15 cm and an assumed asymmetry. And of course I uncrossed mouahaha! I'm afraid that despite my back straight, the reputation of my posture is not in top Kappa Dojo, fortunately, I offered a book LOL! By kyosaku cons of the coup was perfect, suddenly awakening to stick, but focused on the lower back in our land of wine and cheese, and sound very dramatic but actually very sweet, with just that must discharge as energy to regain concentration. Leaving
I dedicated the book to the dojo Kappa offered my story to make up crappy posture. Then we went to the chambara with the small band of thugs and monk instructor. Demos, kata and fighting with foam swords like a role-playing scale, then they invited the French to fight, not crazy I declined the offer but Steve, who is a kador Street Fighter, made beautiful score with his reach and Thierry has impressed with his mastery of kendo. France, got away with the honors and applause even if at the end victory went to a big guy whose eyes showed a samurai unwavering will to win.
Big fun with this monstrous Kappa Dojo rebels. Then we returned to enjoy the sunset invisible in the mist on the sea of Seito, a breathtaking landscape.
With the night from the balcony, or hair in the sento baths, common lights of the cities, the suspension bridge and islands on the horizon were a souvenir more.
Monstrously beautiful!

It was time to go to sleep in our Japanese style room tatamisé to make beautiful nightmares ...
