I never heard calling parents “rents” as in the comments sections of my previous posts before. That is one more new thing blogging has given me as well as being a glimpse into interesting people`s lives most of whom are listed on the right. I see people. They`re not dead thankfully but I see them all the same.

So I have been showing my visiting parents out around Kansai. I have also been trying to give them an experience of Japanese culture as well as showing them an endless stream of decaying temples. To this end I have instructed them in the art of Pachinko AKA Japanese pinball gambling, taken them to karaoke for two hours and tried to accustom their tongues to Japanese food. In a plan to make them warm to eating sushi we went to an izakaya and ordered sashimi or raw fish. Of course they loved it. We ate sushi in the place where my first ever meal in Japan was last March. It was pulled off with varying degrees of success.
