My son Maxi has spent almost half a year in Kyoto from October 2023 to March 2024. Mainly to learn Japanese in a language school and to learn more about Japanese life and culture. I picked him up in March and we spent a week in Kyoto together. When we returned home I already knew I would love to come back to Japan as soon as possible. In November we went back for two weeks and did a round trip Tokyo - Nagoya - Kyoto - Kanazawa area - Tokyo.
We did a bit of Tokyo sightseeing, stayed some time in a Buddhist Temple, explored Kyoto by bike, visited many temples, went to tea cermonies, hiked in the mountains around Kyoto, stayed in an Onsen Ryokan near Kaga, hiked through rural Japan countryside and mountains there... and of course lots of Japanese food.

I will add some pics of the trip the next couple of days.

The goodest boy turned 11 years today. Happy Birthday Chap!

Some of pictures from Kyoto. We were manly in the North driving around with the bikes to see temples, shrines and gardens.

Autumn foliage has started at many places all over Kyoto. (Maple leaves turning red)

First things first: Tsukiji Market in Tokyo, Seafood haven

@Tobi You can check ARNOLDs Vienna, very good shop.

There are not many shopping options for denim heads in Vienna. You can have a look at this one https://www.whitefeathermfg.com/ same street as Arnolds

@Chap nice hifi - what is your kit?

Hey @Bridger that's a LINN LP12 with the Koil Cartridge, a LAB12 integre4 MK2 tube amplifier, Pro-Ject Tube Box DS2 and Accu Box S2 and our 20 years old HGP Nightingale speaker.

@Bridger said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

@J-IV Top five of all time

Yes Sir

@Alex said in What's your favourite wine?:

And one for tonight, to go with a panang curry I’m making

Nice. How did it work with the curry? I often have difficulties getting a good wine matching with curry (and go for beer then).

Looks perfect, if I would have tried to invert it it would have ended in a Lemon cream dessert with tarte crumbles

The Barn from Berlin is my favorite coffee roaster since many years. Their latest Masterpiece Subscription, a Gesha from Graciano Cruz' Emporio Estate in Panama.

Cranberries or apple purée?

Looks beautiful! Every Tyrolean Hüttenwirtin would be jealous

700 EUR Ouch! Did prices rise recently with GAH stuff?
