JOBLESS DAYS...

Recently I often go to the cape and practice tour guiding. (I'm a volunteer tour guide of the local geopark.) See? I'm doing my best to stay active in my jobless days.

Honestly, it is nice to be close to the nature when you are a little tired of people and their lip services. The rocks are silent and they show us a totally different kind of time span, which often heals me a lot.
If you ever come to the eastern part of Kochi prefecture in the Shikoku Island, Japan, let me know. I'll be your tour guide and tell you all about (?) the nature in this laid-back countryside. Why don't you come to be my guinea pig enjoy the stories that rocks and plants on the coast tell you. ;)

I want to go to shikoku! ... but it will probably be a trip to see my relatives in kochi-ken...

Oh, why don't you come here with your relatives! I bet they haven't been here very often. :D

I am jobless too. I wish I can do something meaningful like what you are doing. :)

i will be moving to ino-cho this summer.

its ironic because i was reading your food blog several months ago and found it very intriguing.

are you really offering to be a tour guide someday? ^_^

i would love to see the countryside of the area eventually.

Sorry for this late response. Have you found a job? Hope you are enjoying yourself now, with or without a job. Good luck!

Hi! Terribly sorry that I didn't respond earlier.
So you are coming to ino-cho?! Great! Yes, I would be more than happy to give you a tour when you come to this part of the prefecture. Keep in touch! :D

Thanks for the response :D

I would love to have an insider's guide to the local places and nature!

Do Japanese cooking lessons come included? ;D

Where exactly do you live in Kochi, if you don't mind me asking?

We are at the east end of the prefecture. And actually, we can teach you how to cook some local cuisine (if you're brave enough to gut fish). ;) Please come!

i will definitely make it over somehow or someway.

sounds like a great time!

i think you will be a valuable resource for my time in shikoku and kochi.

hopefully we can correspond some more ;D

My walking partner and I are thinking about joining a small tour group to explore a small part of Shikoku in April. Kochi City and Aki are on the agenda. Anywhere close to you?

ダイアナ

I can't find you comments on your new job.

Can't you come a little further towards the east?

Do you find sea glass on your beach walks? I found this article/slide show about this kind of glass and thought of you. Parade.com/seaglass
