We hiked back down the mountain on foot, then went back to the apartment to rest before making our venture out for a night of festivities which included meeting up with Norman White, the owner of the fabulous Big Brother Sandwhich shop, and Root Down a local bar establishment. I didn't get any photos with Norm, but he has an awesome spot. From there, we were off to visit Ingrid's Karaoke bar. A good friend of Norms they often direct new comers to each otehrs establishments. It was to be a evening filled with singing and meeting new people there. We ran into a group of the local English teachers, and introduced ourselves. It was a fun night. Here is Rosie with Ingrid, the owner of the Karaoke bar. She is an awesome lady who made sure all of her patrons had a fun night there, singing and telling stories of their experiences.
I am not sure what street this was, as many of the streets here have no names, but there is a large ACTY building at the end that makes a rather good landmark for the downtown area.
After our long day of adventures, we settled in to rest, and on sunday, we decided to stay low key, and check out some quieter venues. Amonst which was a visit to a Sushi restaurant near to the apartment. mm it was soo yummy.
Then we wandered down to the River near Tokushima station to check out the Board walk area, and happened across a anniversary party where several local talents were out playing music and dancing.
We caught the performance of some highly talented rock groups, and Blue Production, a B-boy dance group. They were awesome as well.
This coming weekend, we have decided to stay in, to save money for the weekend after next, which will be Rosie's birthday weekend, and I am going to visit her in Saijo. Hopefully I'll have some more photos to post from that as well.
Peace and love
Jody
