Hiking in Kyushu

  

Last month I did some travelling in Kyushu. The highlight was hiking in the mountains in Kuju. There was a hot spring up in the mountains and a great camping area. It was the first time climbing up the mountain with a tent but the tent was so light I took it up in my backpack without much trouble. I hope to do some more overnight hikes this summer.

Expedition No.1: The Eastern Forests

I will be exhibiting at a secret club's "Expedition No.1: The Eastern Forests" show.

Expedition No.1: The Eastern Forests

(Danish title: Ekspedition No.1: De Østre Skove)

Jægergårdsgade 57, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark

17th-20th April, 11am-5pm, 21st April: 11am-4pm

Explore The Eastern Forests, where 14 Danish and international artists have joined a secret club and created fabulous works of art, that tell of the forests and the animals, tribes, plants, and beings that live there.

Rest in the Supplies Café with coffee and cake. Solve a HAMA bead sudoku or have a go at our collage-material pick'n'mix. Follow on twitter or facebook to see which cakes are fresh out of the oven and when.

Free family workshops:

Thursday 17th April  between 2pm and 5pm and Monday 21st April from 1pm-4pm, you can drop in and learn how to look like one of the creatures of The Eastern Forests.

Visit us on Saturday 19th April between 2pm and 5pm to make a glorious medal, fit for the most intrepid explorers.

Both workshops can be completed in approx.20 minutes, but if you're having fun, it can take a lot longer.

plum blossoms

It's almost springtime here. It feels like the garden is changing every day. It's such a joy and reassuring to see familiar faces showing up at the same spot as last year. 

winter hike

I went hiking in the snow for the first time today. 

It was a beautiful mountain. There would be spaces between the snow where the earth was exposed. Displaying intriguing patterns. And occasionally the path opened up to striking views of the mountains around. It was just out of this world.

Toba

鳥羽に牡蠣を食べに行った。前の日からボーっとしていて、みんなの会話が夢の中みたいに聞こえた不思議に一日だった。

My friends and I went for a drive to Toba to eat oysters. It was my first time eating fresh oysters. I ate two. Not sure I liked it. Really salty.

Bike trip

We cycled from Nagoya to Yoro Falls in Gifu. It was more than 80km there and back, the longest bike ride I've done! It reminded me of a cyclists I met in China travelling for months. He said there are times when he doesn't see anyone for days. I don't think I would be able to cope with the loneliness.
