After not taking any photos in India last month and regretting it, I went out and bought myself a Casio EX-S10 camera (looks great, very easy to carry) and I’m glad I did because after 5 hours on the train today I arrived in Kumano City in Mie ken (the place of tomorrow’s workshop).

This place is great with the oldest shrine in Japan, Shishiiwa (“Lion Rock”) and　”Oni ni Jyo” – Castle of the Demons – which was apparently where pirates used to live so they gave it the demon name to keep people away! Dinner with the teachers was also really nice, tempura, sashimi & Japanese beef and then a really nice chat with the local ALT.

Oh, one other thing, my hotel for today has a Japanese techno toilet. People ask me about these all the time, so here’s a video for you!
