Ians Big Adventures

so its june, and i haven't written in a while. But its for good reaon. we have been showing ian the "real japan". he came last week, on may the 28 and we had a loose, but fun itinerary planned for him, he was sort of templed/sightseeing out, so we tried to keep the temples to a minimum, we did go to kyomisdera in kyoto, and that was really cool. it was super crowded but we were able to make s really good day of it. We also took ian out to eat tons. shakeys all you can eat pizza ( and dance club), Plum restaurant wich had sper food and specialises in plum wine, Yaki niku (BBQ beef restaurant) and many other mum and pop joints.
We biked around tons, and while we were at work he started to get a feel for osaka and navigate the down town area on his own. Every day was really fun, we went to see some bands play, we watched russell peters, we went to shivs gallery closing, and we went shopping and exploring.
On Ians last day, shiv and ian set out on a hiking, phtography adventure in koyasan. they came home a bit dirty and super excited. They had slid down hillsides and went running in moss feilds??? im still not sure, shiv said they had a great day and they felt like a tom sawyer duo.
it was so nice to have him here.hope he enjoyed the trip.
