Golden weekend, Day 1

Cell phone post, sorry if the format is weird.

I am visiting Tsunan Machi(津南町) in Niigata-prefecture (新潟県)with my host parents. We are staying in some relative's house (host-father's brother's family).

The great thing about the country side is that it's not Tokyo. There's lots of nature (I caught a frog!), it's clean, and I can see mountains, fields and rivers. I always learn to love Tokyo by leaving it, but I also start to dread going back!

We did some sightseeing (drove around the mountains, went to some gift stores).

I had sushi and lots of mountain veggies for dinner. Mmm...but kinda weird

Tomorrow we go to the kimono festival (the whole reason we came to Niigata).
