Sorry it's been so long since my last post. Since arriving in Japan, life has been a bit hectic and I haven't had much time to just sit down and write. So, without further ado, let's correct that.
Last weekend, I was back in Nagoya, catching up with my fellow trainees who, like me, are trainees no longer. They, like me, have all started work at their respective schools and all had interesting stories to tell, none of which I will be sharing here.
The location of our reunion was the Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium.
I'm a bit of a fan of aquariums and Nagoya is one of the better ones with a good selection of things to look at.
The highlight for me was the dolphin show. I didn't know dolphins were even capable of half of the tricks they performed.
After leaving the aquarium, we decided to explore the port area a bit more and ended up wandering through something called "Woods of the World", which includes trees from all the ports around the world that ships from Nagoya travel to. We were not alone in our explorations, however, since the woods had been overrun by dozens of cats (I may be exaggerating slightly).
The following day, I was back in Toyohashi doing grocery shopping and other chores, but I did find time to visit Mukaiyama Ume Garden to see the plum blossoms. According to my city guide, it's the largest plum garden in the eastern Mikawa region.
That's all for now. In my next blog post, we'll talk about foxes...
