Closing-down the Flea Market

At 6:30 pm Chie and I went to the flea market to help out closing it and cleaning up afterwards. We were about 10 people so within 1.5 hours all remaining clothes and things were packed into boxes and stored for the next flea market. This time we sold new and old donated clothes and things for 660,000 JPY!!! 😀 This Ishihara-san’s group will use to support our network of fisher(we)men in Kobuchihama and FUkukiura.



Afterwards all that helped with the flea market went to KotoKoto (the owner is part of Ishihara-san’s group) to have an after-flea-market party. Though we did not party so much as eating, drinking and talking. We prepared some snacks in the kitchen of KotoKoto and someone went to buy pizzas. I brought a mineral water from 7-Eleven.



We all took turns in playing, very gently, with a 15 years old dog (~105 human years), as well. She was stiff in the hips and almost blind, but with energy enough to continuously looking for something to eat.



Dinner at KotoKoto

No it is not a repeat of the blog post, just a repeat of a visit to KotoKoto. Went there tonight for dinner with a work colleague from Lund. He has been here the whole week and tomorrow he is flying back to Sweden. It was delicious 😛

KotoKoto

One of our favorite restaurants is KotoKoto. Not only is the food great, but the owner (Sato-san) is a very nice person as well. So what better way is there than to spend the Friday night having dinner at KotoKoto?



As usual we had a lot to eat, but the food at KotoKoto is not heavy so you don’t feel like you have a stone in your stomach afterwards even though you eat a lot 🙂
