    Kawaguchiko: Wives are scary

    September 17, 2016 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    chisai = small

    We stopped at the next lake and it was already dark. We could not find a place to stay so we decided to camp by a park next to the lake. We had delicous Udon and Yakisoba by a small stall nearby. I also ordered grilled corn and the stall owner came later with it and half of the money back, since he said the corn is too "chisai". Could not sleep as usual, early in the morning we were greated by Mr. Shinji from the village. He taught us alot of life lessons like the importance of enjoying life, meeting new people and how scary wives are (especially his wife). Mr Shinji told us he was so busy working that he hardly talked with his children and was so stressed out to a point that he was nearly commiting suicide. He then decided to work less and enjoy more nature. He came by to the park every morning and talk to strangers and pick up cigarrete butts and other garbages to make sure that park stays clean (on his free time) . By picking up the garbages he also automatically exercises his body and its important for him to stay healthy, he said while smoking his cigarrete early on the morning 😑..... After alot of talking he realised its time to go home for breakfast or he will get scolded by with wife again if he is late.Read more
