I do love to be beside the sea

Here's me clowning with one of my students in Ako last Sunday.
Ako park has a playground that is probably unsurpassed by any other in the whole country! It has a replica pirate ship that can be climbed all over and an obstacle course containing all sorts of fun challenges.

The park is also home to a salt museum (Ako is famous for its salt) which actually had some interesting buildings were they were harvesting salt the old fashioned way. And is right beside the sea. However a peek at the beach revealed it to be a bit on the dirty side so we stuck to the play equipment.

Back by the sea on Monday but for a different purpose. I went to the Porto Bazaar, which is a outlet mall near Kobe. It is designed to look like a Mediterranean town, I was hoping for some cheap laughs but actually came home converted after finding some bargain jeans. Then I took a visiting friend to see a love hotel,

Here's the menu board, anyone for today's special?
