Tosaben Musical is now on Blogger!

If you live in Kochi, (hopefully) you all have heard of the Tosaben Musical put on by volunteer group GENKI Seinenkai. We are now on a roll with rehearsals to prepare for the shows coming up in April!

As a new endeavor, GENKI Seinenkai has started a blog in Japanese (Tosaben, in fact!) so that more people in Kochi can stay in the loop with information on the upcoming performances, as well as get sneek peaks of what goes in to making the Tosaben Musical.

If you know Japanese people around you that are interested in the GENKI Tosaben Musical, please let them know about our blog at http://tosabenmusical.blogspot.com/

Cheers!

Bicycling in Shimanto City

   Christmas and New Year’s Day is over now. During the past holidays we all attended or held parties and events, we had much fun and enjoyed eating and drinking and socializing with friends and family! That was nice but how do you feel now that it’s over? After the fun-filled holiday it’s always hard to come back and adjust to daily life. We come back feeling heavier and lazier. We need to find a good way to transition back to an active and healthier lifestyle. I highly suggest taking a bike tour in Shimanto City.

Kochi Queues

   Standing in long lines and doing nothing but waiting for your turn at restaurants and cafes is part of daily life in urban cities such as Tokyo. If you plan to visit a trendy eatery in a big city without a reservation, you need to be prepared to spend a long time sitting there irritated. You may need to wait longer than the time it takes to dine!
