General catchup

Been a while since I last posted, and at the risk of being incredibly boring…. not much to report on my end. Been busy as hell with work, and can’t see that changing much anytime soon.

A few weeks back we visited a small town in Saitama called Chichibu. It’s great fun driving through country towns in Japan, they are very different to country towns elsewhere in the world, and there are always new and interesting things to see. I am yet to visit two country towns with the same supermarket for example…

Anyway, here is a pic of the view from our hotel

and here is the main reason we were there… kakigori!! Japan takes shaved ice to the next level, and this store was uber famous and tasted spectacular.
