Dinner at WWOOF farm in Japan

I was digging through my archive today and found a couple of photos from my visit in Japan. What I remember most fondly was the visit to a WWOOF (world wide on organic farms) farm. In total I stayed there for two weeks. This is from one of the dinners we had there.

It was in february and still cold, so everyone was huddling under the kotatsu, a type of low table with heating under it. I loved sitting on the floor huddling there. What also amazes me is that kind of invention encourages company and talking with the people you live with. At the same time you can keep the other parts of the house cold and thus avoid wasting energy. However traditional japanese houses are very poorly isolated, but that is an entirely different story…

wood-japan-postbox-mail

I like to recieve personal letters (who doesn’t), although currently I’m really bad at replying to them. Maybe because I like the very touch of a letter I think the postbox should reflect the personal value a letter could bring. The postbox here certainly do. Although very simple it exhibit this air of importance.

portrait-girl-holding-teacup

One of the things I like the most is having a cup of tea with a friend. But nowadays I find myself not having these kind of moments so often. I don’t know whether it’s the lack of time, good places to go to or lack of friends willing to go. But I with remember the times going to a place called Hidamari in Japan. Those were the best of times.

The stone lion watches the temple and surrounding environment

The stone statue was just standing there, with it’s majestic influence in the lush green. One could easily have been scared to death if it were another time of the day. I guess it’s not for nothing temples can be creepy sometimes.

A guy in a japanese garden

One of those quick shoots. He tried to look like the intelligent man he is, and succeeded on top of that. After that we enjoyed our time in the japanese garden that we were visiting. The japanese do know how to make them beautiful!

old-broken-postbox

When I passed by this postbox I started to wonder what kind of stories had passed through it’s life. What kind of story was stuck in the postbox right now. I didn’t check. It might have been a forgotten love letter or some commercial. I’d like to believe it was former. :)
