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 ? 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!
