Woofing Mikado
After a day of local trains, we arrive at the Ikeda station or Tomoko ahead with his son Hibiki (7 years). It takes us Mikado (AC is not invented) in their small village of 5 houses. The welcome is warm, the house all wood is huge, we have the whole floor just for us ...
Needless to say that revival is very difficult, especially for Adeline. This week coincinde with Golden Week (3 holidays enchainent a week, so a week's ridgetown college holiday for all Japanese). Tomoko explains that April was very cold, with snow until the 28. So they took much delay, so Ichino (her husband) is working hard in the fields. But we can not help, we do not have our tractor helped !!!
The next day we meet Ba-Chan, the grandmother. She laughs all the time and still works in the surrounding fields. At 72, she impresses us ... "Ba-Chan" means "grandmother" in respectable and affectionate language. Everyone is so called, we also never will know his real name !!! We also meet Gaspard and Berry, the two family dogs.
We help Tomoko and Ba-Chan in daily tasks such as: feeding animals (ducks, geese, chickens and roosters - here called the COCORICCO - sowing, sorting, cooking, ... We also have a mission to build a new shelter in the greenhouse for cocoriccos ...
We communicate with the family with signs, drawings, mimes, words learned Japanese. Indeed, only Tomoko speak English, and it is not always easy to be understood. For example, we imitate the bees and Winnie the Pooh for their understanding ridgetown college of the word honey !!! Always crazy-laugh ridgetown college going well ...
On Tuesday, Ba-Chan, ridgetown college Hibiki, his cousin and aunt go to town. We accompany them and spend the day visiting the wine cellar of the city (wine region) to the Great Wheel, and go to the ice factory ... Really a great day !!!
Tomoko ridgetown college and Ichino spend hours in the evening we translate pages on the internet. They teach us, moreover, that the boat we wanted to take to return to Honshu (the main island of Japan) has not existed since November 2008. Thanks Lonely !!!
About food every morning Tomoko is preparing ridgetown college a royal breakfast: fresh homemade bread, homemade jam, omelet, sausage, fruit ... Moreover it makes us taste many Japanese and regional specialties. Always very good "OISHI ridgetown college !!!". The "real" sushi as we hear from us are the basis of the Japanese diet, far from it. They do not generally eat only on rare occasions: new year, birthday ...
As with the first woofing, we prepare a french meal. Again, the chocolate tart is appreciated, especially by Ba-Chan !!! Hibiki welcomes us in our work while giving us "Good Job". This phrase became the motto of the week.
Finally, we shift our departure day to complete ridgetown college our home construction work for hens. This last mission (which holds so Jerome) is to catch the cocoriccos !!! We laugh a lot to jog after these birds. Not easy for a neophyte to catch them. But the contract ridgetown college is completed, we capture them all. They now sleep in a nice "home".
Finally, the time has come to say goodbye. This week went extremely quickly in this lovely family. Tomorrow we leave in Akan National Park, see the most beautiful lake in Japan. Tomoko coming with us, but Hibiki who stays home cure his sick throat ... well soon !!!
The cottage looks straight out of a building ridgetown college set in anciennne with wooden logs. Wine cellar? Wine Country? I would not have grown as the Japanese produced ridgetown college wine, those who buy almost 3/4 of the production of Beaujolais. How is their wine? In the picture the table looks very attractive air and the cap as is highlighted .... like home. Continue to teach and to marvel. ridgetown college Kisses to both
