Kid's Kabuki

Two weeks ago, we (Marlow, Ant and I) went to Tarui in Gifu Prefecture. Our friend Yukiko invited us to her hometown during early April. We got there a bit before 11am. They had a Kid's Kabuki show. I'm not familiar with Kabuki theatre but according to Yukiko, they use an older Japanese language and she didn't understand many of the words. I told my Japanese coworkers about the show and they even admitted that they didn't understand most of the dialogue when they had seen Kabuki before. There were three shows but we only stayed for one.

Afterwards, we met Yuki-chan's obachan (grandmother). Marlow, Ant and I got Yuki-chan's grandmother and parents fruit baskets. After the short visit, we then headed to Yukiko's house. They prepared for us a delicious lunch.



We had some American food (hah) like chicken wings and mini pizzas and other Japanese cuisine. It was all very good. We then headed for the mountain close by. We visited two shrines. The air smelled so funky fresh. I hope to go back and go hiking. We walked a bit up the base of the mountain and it seemed like a nice climb. Anyways, after we did some exploring we came back for dinner. It was magically delicious.



So, on to the Kabuki show. And here it is:

Here are some pictures from the previous week and Yukiko's Birthday. I really didn't edit them. Ok, I didn't do any editing. I'm looking to get a point and shoot camera in a couple weeks so I can do my thing with its. Anyways...here is the slidecho. Enchoy.

Takeshima

When I arrived here back in March, we (Marlow, Antonette, Yukiko and Mike) went to Takeshima near Gamagori. At the island, there is the Yaotomi Shrine, which is known for good luck in giving birth and marriage. A path was created around the island so people would walk around it. On this particular day, for some odd reason, it happened to be really windy.

Out in Nagoya City

When I came here, I knew nothing. Now that I've been here for over a month, I still know nothing. But I'm trying to know something. And one of those things is video editing. I've been weaksauce lately with getting things going. Anyways, the first week I was here Marlow, Antonette and I went out somewheres. Low-Low handed me his camera so I could record. So I did. Here is a little piece of the glory, so you can just taste a little bit of it eh.

Oh Snap!

It was our friend Yukiko's birthday April 30th. Her friend Nanako set up a special dinner at her friend's cafe. This is my first time using iMovie so I just messed with it seeing what it had to offer. So, we got her stuff and things like that.
