Friends, Kobe & Kick Boxing

Hey everyone! Once again a very hot weekend with a minimum of 35 degrees! Last thursday I had the chance, once again, to have some friends visiting me in Japan. I met them in Osaka Namba where we enjoyed a delicious Okonomiyaki with Beers. On friday we went again in Namba but this time we headed for a Good Izakaya in Dotombori. We ate a lot with some good beers and Sake!

To destroy all these calories we chosed to go in Kobe on Saturday. Kobe is a nice "small" city in the Kansai where the first immigrants came a long time ago as Kobe had the biggest harbour. That is the reason why Kobe is an internationnal city where you can see many western style houses next to Japanese traditionnal things. Anyway there is much to see in Kobe but... You can eat some Kobe Beef! Soooooo delicious! After finishing our delicious fat Kobe beef we went to see the Nunobiki Herb Garden with the Rope Way behind the Shin-Kobe station.

The view was really nice from up there, the herb garden was pretty interesting because of its location with the mountain surrounding it.

Sunday, Fight! Oh yeah first fighting sport class in my life and i love it! It was very intense and interesting. I enjoyed learning the fighting positions and movements but also being able to punch teacher was funny. He is soooooo fast and strong, he could beat me in 2 seconds! LOL i lost 10 liters of water during the session, this was crazy!

Finally in the night I went to Kyoto to see other friends and enjoy a nice meal in Kawaramachi... What a weekend...!

Pictures coming soon......
