My answer to your question

I interrupt my regular blogcast for a commercial break.
Many of you have asked me where have I gone and what have I seen. So I guess I will have to write about that although I must admit I am much more interested in writing about cultural differences. So I will make a list:
1) Mount Aso – the largest volcanic caldera in the world. It has an azure blue lake with dry ice smoke in the volcano when I looked inside.
2) Kumamoto Castle- A 400 year old ninja repellant castle, yes that`s right NINJA REPELLANT. It was made with curved walls so that they could not be scaled even by a ninja.. This castle was on the movie The Last Samurai.
3) Suizenji Park- A really cool park with a fountain of youth, fountain of something else.
4) Suizenji Freshwater springs – Kumamoto is known for having an abundance of freshwater springs where you can actually drink straight out of the river. It bubbles up from the ground and many come and fill up water bottles to bring home.

I`ll send pictures soon. That`s all of the important things for now. Back to my regular program.
