On to Japan

On to Japan. We flew out of Toronto on the 20th to Taipei. There we had a few hours of layover.

Then we headed to Osaka. Once in Osaka it was another 3 hour bus trip to Takamatsu.

Once there the first things we did were eat at one of the best Indian restaurants I know

Then we went to Mineyama to see my tree.

And of course we couldn't resist going through the obstacle course. Everything from balancing to monkey bars.

They make the best slides. I have never seen this in the USA. Not to say they don't exist, but I have never seen them.These use plastic rollers, instead of smooth metal. You can get going pretty fast on these. Plus they can make them really long and you don't lose momentum.
