In addition to my last post, I recommend looking at the poster boys of Kamogawa to remind you of all the fun and jollity that can be had there.

One thing that I took for granted in Kyoto was the ease to meet people and just hang out. I’m sure all you avid readers of this blog will have noted the countless times I have mentioned Kamogawa (the main river in Kyoto). Well most evenings it was possible to venture down there and meet someone you knew for a drink and a chat. Alternatively you could just do down there to hear people playing music, juggling or in this case fire dancing. With the warm evenings it was even possible to sleep on the river banks until either first bus/train, or in my case a short stumble on foot back home.

Was this the final leaving do for Mr Morris? Probably not, but it was his birthday, so it was time to don our Japanese birthday suits and whip out the novelty birthday glasses. While I was still studying at university and holding down a multitude of jobs, Andrew was bidding his farewells to Japan by travelling around the country and doing some volunteer work in the tsunami struck region of Tohoku.
