Typhoon No. 18- Volendam cancels stop in Yokohama

Opened the Tv and was surprised to see that the news about Taifoon No. 18 are presented on all channels. At the moment it seems that the taifoon left Tokyo area and is heading towards the North.

On October the 6th, Volendam, the holland cruise ship coming from Canada and heading for Australia, had to cancel its stop in Yokohama because of the coming taifoon.



On this day I was asked to help as an interpreter, helping the customers from the ship and the local authorities. It was a full day filled with a lot of talking, meeting many nice people coming from all over the world.
During the departure Aomori Nebuta participants and children from a local kindergarten playing the drums, wished Volendam farewell.

Hoping that this taifoon will be a calm one!

On top of Hakkoda 八甲田の紅葉2009

気温は6度
風はあんまり降っていない



車一台を山の反対側に置いて、朝6時ぐらいに皆さんと酸ケ湯の上の駐車場で会いました。
準備は頑張ってして来たんですか、他の人の準備を見って、勉強になりました。



ズボンと靴は濡れないようにのガードとか、山の頂上でラメンを食べるような準備とか...
出発してから3時間ぐらい後に大岳（1584m）に付きました。



風邪は14m/ｓ、頭のすぐ上で早く早く走る曇り...寒いですがー気持ち！
登場までの上りは長かったんですが、紅葉を見ながら、箒場までの降り道は6時間ぐらいかかりました。

Sasuke 2009

Every year more than 100 candidates attend to complete a four stage competiton called Sasuke (japanese). They are challenged to finish every stage using their body strenght. They need to jump, reach on different things, hold tight to things, cliffhang, run, in order to finish the stage. All 4 stages are different and are getting difficult to finish stage by stage.

I am always looking forward to watching Sasuke every year. Today I came home late and the show already started. Grabed a cup of tea, some snacks and while watching the TV, I was holding tight the cup of tea in one hand. With the other hand I was nervously eating the snacks.

Makoto Nagano (japanese), the ninja warrior of Sasuke made it up to the 4th stage again. He managed to finish the 4th stage during the 17th edition of Sasuke. This year, Nagano Makoto and a 24 years old competitor made it up to the the 4th stage.

Inakadate Rice Field Art 2009

Today I managed to go to Inakadate village and see the rice field art.The drawings on the rice field are created by planting various types of rice. Planting the rice field starts in late April and the drawings become more visible every month. The peak is in September.

Volunteers are helping at planting the rise and on the 4th of October they help at the crop.
Visitors take an elevator situated in a nearby building that looks like an old castle, to the 5th floor, then walk the stairs up to the 7th floor. From there visitors are able to see the drawings.

This year a Sengoku warrior and Napoleon were the two main characters.
