We had yaki tori and other chicken yummynesses at an izakaya with a very impressive umeshu menu on Saturday night in Kishiwada, I skipped lunch and went straight for kakigori for lunch on Sunday (kurumi and milk, which disappointingly turned out to be not walnut, as expected, but an overly sweet soy-based anko). Then Thai for dinner on Sunday, and scrambled eggs and fresh bread for breakfast Monday. (weren't you the one who complained about posts on meals on Facebook?!? :P ) The walking has been wiped from my brain as it was just too hot and sweaty. <br /><br />Oh, and the tanuki was in red plaid! : DSomedaysSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485017469544064676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086689852914881504.post-82543898471416358142012-07-21T18:17:13.097+09:002012-07-21T18:17:13.097+09:00"More details?

Tramping around by foot in the heat and humidity to museums, with our luggage on our backs was exhausting! Good, but exhausting!<br /><br />More details? As in the museums we visited? What we ate? Where we walked? The colour of the tanuki's plaid suit?<br /><br />PS - Gah! I stayed inside in the AC for most of the day today, venturing out in the evening but it was still oppressively humid - uggggh!SomedaysSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485017469544064676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086689852914881504.post-61460344538550224782012-07-16T19:08:33.035+09:002012-07-16T19:08:33.035+09:00OK, so that very intriguing Tokyo Sky Tree image i...OK, so that very intriguing Tokyo Sky Tree image in a later post (what is it? a light?) was actually taken in Tokyo itself?<br /><br />Had we but world enough, and time<br />This coyness, Lady, were no crime ...<br /><br />I'm teasing. You probably wrote these posts in a hurry on your phone? I'd really love to hear about the trip in more detail.

My advisor was coming with his current students and a few others do I decided to tag along as my advisor is a bigwig in the museum world and knows people everywhere, resulting in free entry and special tours and seeing the inside of storerooms and fumigation chambers!<br /><br />I'll be back in Tokyo tonight. <br /><br />Yes, there are a few Toshogu in Osaka but it is too hot so I'm focusing on museums (and U would be far too jealous if I went Toshogu hunting without him!)<br /><br />Day two is up now, a little late as I was rather preoccupied (and exhausted!!) last night!SomedaysSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485017469544064676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086689852914881504.post-75502869834240713832012-07-16T14:53:40.243+09:002012-07-16T14:53:40.243+09:00Glad you enjoyed it!

Easily the highlight of the day!<br /><br />And I specifically took a photo of the ogre on my phone so I could post it, as I thought you might appreciate it! There was a great display of at least a half a dozen different ogres, but this one was the most photogenic! : DSomedaysSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485017469544064676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086689852914881504.post-66535791371010978642012-07-16T10:54:12.210+09:002012-07-16T10:54:12.210+09:00Wait.
