Hospitality

This Sunday we spent together with Toshiro Nishida and his family. First we visited Space World, a big amusement park located east of Fukuoka. We did a great variety of rides and compared with the universal studio park in Osaka this was a joy because of the few queues we had to go through. I am also very happy that the scariest ones were closed so I did not have push myself in to one of those. Later in the day we were invited to have dinner in the Nishida family's house for dinner. The invitation could have mentioned the great entertainment we had there as well. I think the Japanese are excellent hosts. We had both pizza and sushi with beer, wine and soda. The entertainment started when the kids brought out the Nintendo Wii ( A japanese invention as it was mentioned) and all the kids (all 8 of them!) went crazy playing various games. The last game being hide and seek with the wii remotes. As proper adults we helped the ones that was hiding the Wii-remotes with various suggestions and often offered ourselves as hiding place. All great fun for both adult and child.

Once again we have experienced japanese culture at its best. We feel very lucky to have been able to see a japanese home and to be invited in to such a friendly family.
