22nd august
woke up to the delicious smell of home-made bread. yes, hiroko (mommy) made them the night before with her awesome bread-making machine.

coated mine with a huge amount of blueberry jam. breakfast also included scrambled eggs and salad. and some fruits.

then we went for our first activity in nomishi - ceramics painting. ceramics seem to be a specialty of nomishi.

i chose a weirdly shaped holder with a little usagi in the corner.

our tools

sensei explaining how it works. basically you mix water in the color palettes and use it to paint.
and here's my finished product. :D

after the ceramics painting, we proceeded to kua house - a sports complex essentially for the rest of the day and for lunch.
place where we had lunch

soba with an interesting cover that is filled with the soba sauce
Photobucket
coffee jelly dessert
Photobucket
after that we spent the rest of our day in the sports complex.
first we went to the swimming pool
Photobucket
then the onsen, the spa, the gym and we stayed there till 6pm as it was around that time that our host family came to pick us up. it was really boring and a waste of time, because we could do this sort of thing anywhere, and we should have been sightseeing instead of fooling around a sports complex.
mokoto (daddy) took us to this huge tomb of some deceased king.

then we met a cool friend of kanoko who has an earring in the middle of her earlobe.
Photobucket

and the kids look so cute with the gigantic watermelon which weighs about 15kg. the baby was only about 12kg, while kanoko was 17-20kg.
