Miya WhiteAh really? Hehe. Tarun loved it and bought lots of things. It was interesting. And yes, it was freezing! Had to go home and have a Japanese bath after to warm up. Going to Uniqlo today to buy a few more heat techs
Barbara WhiteYou caught the last Toji markets for the year so it's traditionally really good. Took my students there on the study tour, it snowed. They all loved it. Get those woolen heat tech tights and shorts😎. But should be warmer in Shikoku 🌞.
