Japanese breakfast.

Japan breakfast. So good. The stuff in the  square white box in the corner is called "Nato" and is old fermented beans.

You mix it with that liquid in the wee plastic bag on the left, some soy sauce and then add it to your rice. It should make your stomach flora healthy and natural. It smells really bad, it drags longs sticky strands like melted cheese from the chopsticks when you eat it. And I haven't even mentioned the taste?????

Okinawa February 2016

Chinese New Year holiday and we've been back to Okinawa for s week of relaxing and fresh air and good food.
Springtime has arrived here, probably some time yet until it will happen in Tokyo and Kyoto.
Yet again we enjoyed the solitude of the Kerama Islands a two hour ferry ride outside Naha city. Amazing and worth the while. 
Beautiful landscapes will fill your mind as you can walk around the island of Zamami in about 2 hours. You can, if you are lucky, see breaching humpback whales from the shore.Whale sightings around the Kerama islands on Wednesday the 10th of February.
Revisit the famous Marylin of Zamami. If you do not know that story, read it here:
