We're Back

The honeymoon was nice, very nice. We spent our time in Takesumi Village visiting the sights and eating new dishes and exploring a new culture. We have already decided that we want to go again.

Small Update

I need to spend my $500 Farmer's Market Certificate not to mention decoratin the house-our new home. Did I mention that? Opps!

Chad and I moved to Royal Gala, we brought the lot where the Grey house once stood. They sold us the land-something about family financial troubles, so we built a home from scratch!

I like the style, nice concrete with masonary details on the exterior. The upstairs is kind of empty, we'll use that for guest bedrooms and nurserys-when the time comes. Might purchase a tea table, I loved drinking tea in Takezumi Village so much!

Honeymoon

I've planned our honeymoon to the smallest detail-the hard part is not letting Tatiana find out those details. Since we both agree that the far east is a wonderful complex culture, I've planned to spend several simdays at Takemizu Village. With this in mind, I scoured the internet for everything I could find out about Taekmizu and what the best spots are.



I've reserved tours for the Bamboo Forest, the Historic Walking Tour and the RiverBoat Tour



I've made reservations at the local resturaunts so we can enjoy Chirashi and Steamed Rice Bowls.



Not to mention a long list of things we have to do before heading home (according to the guides).



Participate in a traditional tea ceremony

Learn Tai Chi and Acupressure massage from the local classes and "wise men"

Visit a Zen garden and the lucky shrine (and make a wish)

Play mahjong and hear the dragon legend that the guide book says so much about.
