My son Maxi has spent almost half a year in Kyoto from October 2023 to March 2024. Mainly to learn Japanese in a language school and to learn more about Japanese life and culture. I picked him up in March and we spent a week in Kyoto together. When we returned home I already knew I would love to come back to Japan as soon as possible. In November we went back for two weeks and did a round trip Tokyo - Nagoya - Kyoto - Kanazawa area - Tokyo.
We did a bit of Tokyo sightseeing, stayed some time in a Buddhist Temple, explored Kyoto by bike, visited many temples, went to tea cermonies, hiked in the mountains around Kyoto, stayed in an Onsen Ryokan near Kaga, hiked through rural Japan countryside and mountains there... and of course lots of Japanese food.

I will add some pics of the trip the next couple of days.

What I am (not because scrubs all day long) wearing today:

Any denim nerds here?

@Chap @Giles the GoodArt church key is high on my list. I hope they work as good as they look.

It opens bottles

Yep, it loves to open bottles…

This guy https://www.lederhosenwaschen.com/ seems to have made himself a name for cleaning deerhide lederhosen. If someone needs a professional cleaning of his Big Buck I am pretty sure he can help too. He is located in Bavaria Southern Germany. Price will be around 70 - 80 € I think.

@triaz No issues with IH zippers but had that sometimes with dead stock Talon zippers on RMC jackets. A drop of ballistic oil helped. Just be careful to avoid oil stains!

A Baltimore Bash T-Shirt? @Alex with a Crab print on the back?

Rice, Natto, Onsen Egg, Umeboshi, Miso soup, fried fish... my kind of Sunday breakfast

Cash here... again. American recordings are really something else, Vinyl gives them that little extra
