I figured it would be an aspirational cookbook, as it also has to showcase Crystal's chefs and cooks (couldn't very well start with "Step one, open a can of tuna.") No....it should be "open 100 cans of tuna". 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SusieQft Posted August 17, 2020 #360 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Ah, the real deal! I have only seen the replica on Oahu, though.

I still remember though! Vince 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember though! Vince I love Uji ,and as a Matcha lover, have been there a number of times and stayed there, It is my Mecca so to speak now everytime I go to Japan now, since my first trip to Japan in the Fall of 2016.My new Matcha business is called aptly enough, Uji Kyoto Matcha..though I have some from Shizuoka as well.. My point just being I am a stickler just because I know it is a trains ride from Kyoto station and far enough away that I no longer consider it part of Kyoto proper . And if we want to get even more picky ,much of the famous "Uji " Matcha, is actually grown in Wazuka, south of Uji and north of Nara 🙂 It's all good though you still got it LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearesiamese Posted August 18, 2020 #366 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Well done Jayayeff! And yes, Stickman, that is the famous Tokyo Spaceboat, as it is affectionately called by many of us who follow John Daub on his you tube channel .I rode on it with a fellow follower of the Only in Japan channel on You Tube, and it was cool. Quite a rainy day though as you can see in the picture. But I was in Japan so who cares ? LOL We boarded in Asakusa ended in Odaiba, where the famous fish market is held now. https://www.gotokyo.org/shuun/en/course/051.html The remaining picture of the river , is in my favorite place to stay now whe nin th eKyoto area, an that is in Arashiyama, a bit west of Kyoto proper..

You had me confused - it's not Cooktown (thats in North Queensland) - you mean Cook on the Nullarbor My recollection of Cook is that it's a lot more deserted than the photos shows - I think Roy's probably got it with Alice Springs (but I'm not 100% on that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a long time since I did that train trip. It's the signpost that made me think it was Cook. Edited August 19, 2020 by OzKiwiJJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
