A friend of my parents, John, came for a visit to Japan threes weeks ago. He was staying up in Tochigi prefecture with a friend, Takeshi, who he is pen pals with. On Friday, they came for a visit to Hamamatsu. We first started with a tour of Yamaha music. We saw how a grand piano is put together, which was the same tour my family went on back in May. Here's a picture after the tour of John playing a reed organ in the display room:
We went for lunch, and John got to try eating eel, which he quite enjoyed. He said it tasted better than the eel he was used to back in Britain. Afterwards, we went to the Museum of Musical Instruments. He is a picture of John and Takeshi in the 'hands-on' room playing some bells.
In the evening, the came back to our house, where Ayako had prepared a wonderful meal for them.
The next day, we took John and Takeshi to pick clementine oranges at our neighbors' farm:
Ayako's mother also joined us. Here you can see us with our neighbor, Uchida-san. He is very lively for 84 years old.
Afterwards, we returned home for lunch and then took them to the station to see them off. John is probably on a plane right now, heading back to Canada. I hope he enjoyed his stay in Japan.
