After the Karaoke night the day before, we woke up late today ! We had a delicious brunch and then drove to Tokyo with N&A. We parked the car near Shin-kiba, which is a neighborhood close to Ageha club where we would spend the night... We took the metro there to Harajuku station. We could see yoyogi gymnasium, but we didn't go close to it as we would come back later on. Instead, we walked to Meiji Jingu shrine and park. It had been a long time since we ...

Our flight from Ishigaki was not direct to Haneda. Indeed, the lady at the JAL front desk told us (or showed us on a paper translated in english, should I say !) that the runway was not long enough to take off with full tank, so the plane had to make a stop at Miyako, which is an island close to Ishigaki (20min flight).

This time, it was high tide, and we could admire the beautiful, clear blue water ! We then drove to Kabira's cape, on the north we...

In order to know how to use such kind of remote controls without losing time or one's time or temper, here is a special Q&A dedicate...

Contrary to what was expected, skies were still grey today. We went to the market to buy tropical fruits (pineapples, passion fruits) and umibudo (seaweeds from okinawa, which look like small green grapes, maybe the longevity secret of people from okinawa !) Then we went back to the tourism office to see if renting a car was possible. Indeed, sun was expected at the end of the day and it is definitely more convenient to have a car on the isla...
