Summer


Yosakoi is here! It really is summer in Kochi isn't it?  I've been going to the rivers and swimming, and enjoying the water on these hot days.  One weekend in late July I went with some other Yakuba employees to Sasagamine to do "Sawa-nobori", a Japanese adventure sport involving swimming, hiking, climbing, and waterfalls!  I'm going to be enjoying Yosakoi this week with a friend from Tokyo who has come to see the festival.  Another ALT I know from Sasebo is coming to dance as well.  Everyone, stay cool and drink plenty of water!
