The organization known as Rotary promotes international trip each year, that all men aged between 26 and 40, male and female, and from all sources - must know - because it is a study funded by the Rotary six weeks on board and all may apply such a part of this important life experience. If you are in this age group - you can enjoy the kind of experience that is described in my notes in this article. To learn more about the program and try http://www.Rotary.orgGSE - SGS - and contact your local Rotary Club for more information.
Our adventure continues:
22. April - Friday:
The best part to go, many Rotary clubs is traveling around the prefecture (as our "State") and see so much from place to place - and we are now - Anthony, Harry and I with Kenji in his Land Rover - Buzen Rotary Club of West - which lasts about an hour and 1 hour (when the island is a clock) on whichCoast. We are smack in the vast country, as we go - lakes and mountains and not crowded, like me, that Japan would be expected. But the Japanese believe that America seems to Los Angeles - and I suspect that before this trip, I thought everything was in Tokyo Japan (Harry said that too). The Club Buzen reminds me of the old Japanese landscape, and we are very traditional (but Spicer) of rice and curry lunch (Yumm - they say). I said - and show the applications that people are curiousWomen in Rotary - has anyone asked what happened to make our decision by the Supreme Court, women in Rotary.
Nearby was the Tsuiki Japan Air Self Defense Force Base - and Antonio was very excited to be a privilege, what we saw. We have entered into the ground (think of worrying for Japanese air attacks) - but I have a briefing on the history of the base (it was occupied by the United States for some time and then back to the Japanese) and types of operations and types of aircraft that are werethe base. We went out on the tarmac, where three fighter planes had taken for us to see - an F-1, F-2 and F-16 (first time I've ever seen a fighter in the area, and was heard concerned that Japanese technologically advanced aircraft to the U.S. and worked). A pilot for each of these levels has been very kind to explain to his plane and his skills - a pilot said he had a wife and two children, and the plane was his "friend" - waslisten to funny to say this. Anthony was surprised that the F-16 was able to pull 9 g's - sounded like a wild ride for me. The riders were young and thin - as you said Anthony, who helped them withstand the g-force - and they wore special suits to pump blood, the pilots while they were rising in the sky. We were on top of the tower (apparently a rare occasion) called and we could see that all over the floor - including many of the three types of aircraft that hadwas introduced earlier. There were orders for aircraft - like a movie set, where all were in the starting blocks. I liked the mountains and lush coastal level, we could see - and hopes that these planes were never used. We stopped at the PX - and then took leave of our kind guests. Kenji has a Bar-B-Que for us in his house in the late evening (Japanese-style - I've got it now everything is cut very thin) - and invited a few friends fun - and I hatedlate night fun to lose, but went to bed early.
23. April - Saturday:
Hurrah - now we are going to Yufuin - I read about this before coming to Japan and I am pleased that our guests, including this "get away" - is the "spot-Lake Tahoe-wonderul" as they went by to enjoy of California - and it is surprising that the visit here, I think we are at the same time, "so different and so the same," in which, as we are and what we do. It turns out that the people we met inMany Rotary clubs have a second (usually larger) homes in Yufuin. We are on top of Kenji's house - and be Tanaka because they have a home. It feels like forever in my SUV and heading for a retreat Tahoe - only the most famous spa in Japan.
But first - we stopped at the wine bar - Kenji is a certified wine educators, we learn - and wants us to serve California wines for the party tonight (lots of parties with our guests) - and hesays please, do not need half a party, when he arrives in America (California wines that he likes much better) - that is really happy. Opus One and Ridge are the favorites of his - and leave the store with wine, chocolate, champagne - and away you go, because team members are waiting for us on the road. Yufuin Buzen passed along the coast and then a steady rise in class in the mountains. There are big mountains here - and three hours later, when the island is a clock - we are at 3 in theDial. We come to the mountain ridge and look down on the city Yufuin beautiful - where everyone wants to get the said Kenji. E 'bigger than I thought - and as we drive along the main road - is Caramel / Aspen Japan - fun little shops that had been held with items like Japanese. Kenji is a favorite lunch place in the eye - the restaurant, Sadonoya - and the rest of the team there. We sit at a long table on the floor - and that heat pans of charcoal to cook for usChicken and sprouts on - with the blackberry wine that is produced in Yufuin (and beer). I offered to do the "America buys lunch" - but the five host GSE would not hear - I spent $ 100 so far on this trip. It 's a good feeling in Yufuin - a step back and relaxed - very Japanese - Japanese see the shapes in the trees and flowers that are so characteristic of Japanese art. to discover this much. We walk through the market alleys, surrounded by beautiful mountains andNurukawa enjoy a stop at Hot Springs for an afternoon - the hot springs are all different and that is a small, to spend the night when we visit. Teiko Hiroshi and I am happy because we have it.
Kenji house on the hill - and it's a beautiful house in the mountains, like someone we know. This is a box of white stone, with a porch on the front - and if the porch, there are wonderful views of the mountains. The girls stay here - and boys in a housebelow. Kenji has reservations for dinner at 6:00 in the not-easy-to-get-in restaurant in town called Kame-no-i and is beautiful in a back room in a garden, with about twenty of us. Hyoguchi Mika (Mika) - classification, Finishing School owners, Ryoichi Hanechi - Classification, insurance, Masayuki Sugino - Senior Living Management, Volume Condou - are coming GSE Committee of everything you need - real estate Bakery - and Takayuki Fujimoto, architect . The conversation comes to life - Dinnerserved all located at the dinner itself - very Japanese, with records that do not know (including a small fish) - and I am surprised that the sparkling wine, beer, red wine, white.
Once again - I think the evening ended there - but more would come. Seih Ryu us to dinner - a "father," Kenji - and he is a very famous artist in Japan - $ 100,000 groped for one of his paintings - and nice job. We went back to his house - and has signed a book of his paintings for us all - andVisiting his house was a pleasure all by itself. He entered the house (he took the shoes, of course) and a great room (kitchen and living room) with a large, heavy Japanese table and benches on one side and his studio, on the other - but embrace the whole back of the house were full length windows, a breathtaking view of the city was down, the great landscape of mountains, leaving the side of the mountain - and tender bamboo trees on the left - as if one of squattingFlight. It was easy to understand, moved as Mr Dou was to paint - I want to be - with the magnificence of this majestic place on earth. He is known for its cherry blossoms and delicate display their trees - in color and line that the Japanese said. I would like to have some 'of his work - only a small charge of $ 10,000. We went down, in which three of his large paintings hanging, where - an intense cherry blossoms, one of the view seen from his living room (this was the$ 100,000 each), and one of Mount Fuji - all with a gold leaf and root. Kimiyoshi's friend Kenji, played the piano for us with all kinds of songs, and sang as best as possible. It was 1:00 clock before we headed home, bowed several times and to thank Mr. Ryu.
