Hello my fellow travellers! I think that today was the most leisure day of my entire trip as I spent the whole day together with Junko and Bárbara in Fujieda and Shizuoka. The only plans that we had was to go and eat and a lovely dinner at a nice restaurant, shop for kimonos and attend a tea ceremony (chanoyu). It was essentially the repetition of a day that I had last year except that Junko and... Read Full Entry

A Small Swede in the Big World

I'm a small Swede that simply just love to travel. I haven't been around as much as I'd wish to yet, but my life long goal is to visit all the countries in the world. I still have a long way to go before that mission is accomplished though. I live with my two cats and one spider in Alvesta, a small city outside of Växjö where I try to host people from all over the world as often as I can. If you need a place to stay, just look me up on couchsurfing.org and send me a request. My living I make working as a insurance adviser, it's a soft job with plenty of free time. I try to get out in the ... full info

There used to be a Japanese teahouse here and I witnessed a few tea ceremonies, but it would be so amazing to learn the intricacies involved in it. What a totally cultural immersive day this was... and that hakama were clearly meant to be yours :)

I feel blessed by Inari to find those Hakama, as you say it was meant to be. :-D And I already got some use out of them also, that will come in the next post. ;-D I wish I had a tea house close to me as well, I would love to really learn the ceremony in detail so I wouldn't be such a bumbling oaf while I'm there, but the chado is something that people study for years to get right. The attention to detail is something that repeatedly amazes me here.
