Kayaking to Meares Island

Me and Hannah went to Meares Island by kayak yesterday, the weather wasn't great, but not too cold, no wind. So it was good.

We kayak about 2 hours to get there, we stoped a lot of place.

Then, we walked big tree trail. This is one of them, pretty big. It is about 1000 years old!

This is inside of that tree. It's empty. You can get in there!

salmon roe

Today, Jeff came back home with salmon roe!!

I'm soooo happy, I know I'm japanese, ofcaouse I'm happy. This is a bit crazy for other people, you don't understand, how much we love those stuff.

Even for us, we can't eat like this, we need to clean them cos too oily.
See that white bit, there is oil every single roe.

Then what I did is like this! I put soy-sause, mirin, dashi. Then I have to wait till tomorrow or day after tomorrow.

ohhhhhh I can't wait!!

salmons and prawns were arrived.

My house mate Jeff who owns a fish and chips is a fisher man.

This is funny, I never met fisher man before even in Japan.

But here in Tofino, I'm living in his house.

He has been to Alaska for salmon and prawn and shrimp fishing.

He is still there, but he needed some space in his fishing boat for catching some fish.

So he send over his fish to here.

This is that box he send here, how huge it is!!

And so many salmon!!!! Those guys are pink salmon.

Also as you can see next to salmon, they are prawns.

They are headless, and super icy.

Good stuff!!

zuccini and beans

This is a beautiful ziccini!! I picked it up this morning.

This is pretty big, much more bigger than teaspoon.

Those guys are beans, I ate straight away after picked.

Taste so sweet and yummy!

Also, I got broccolis today.
Maybe denner for tonight is green vegges and garlic butter!!

virgin fall

Lara, Stacy, Sylvie, and me went to 'virgin fall' in Tofino yesterday after work. We took 1.5 hours drive from town to get there, just drive logging bumpy road heading to top.

It was beautifull, I wish we could camp there.

On the way to go top, we stoped every single view spots and took so many pictuers, and ate berrys a lot. We saw bear 'poo' but unfortunally, we couldn't see any bears.

It was really funny trip, in the begining, I lost my chocolate ber, I mean someone stole it! I think it was animal or bird, but it was king size and i just had one bite! dammit!!

I hit my head a couple time, we got bitten, and the end, we got flat tire!! oh no Lara's new car!

But we made it. Thanks for the awesome trip and driving Lara!!

DJ chicken... one day...

This is veggie garden and hens which i'm looking after them at the moment.

Veggie's are soy beans, zuccini, poteto, broccoli, lettuce, onion, beans, pampkin, and strawberrys.
I'm basically watering and weeding.
It's really nice to have veggies, they grew so quick.
And most of them are summer veggie so now nearly harvest.

I picked up some broccolis and beans today, and ate them. Taset like sweet!!
I love it.




And chickens are so funny, they lay eggs everyday about 3. So we never buy eggs.

They make so much noise, sounds like funny DJ.

One day, I want to have those guys!

Running shoes

This is my new running shoes and my legs.

I bought this a couple days ago finally. I really wanted running shoes long time, but hard to find nice one.

So, I've started to run for about 40 mins by the beach. it is really good!

I torn my knee, left side, ACL a couple month ago by snowboarding. It was painfull! I cried, ofcouse.

Anyway, after that happend, I needed physio, and exercise. I went to gym for riding bike (it was winter so i couldn't ride bike cos of snow!).

So now, I should start running!! I decided to do either running or surfing everyday.

But today... I was lazy... I didn't do neither... Oh no I feel o bad, I'm so lazy... I'll do that tomorrow!! We call like that person '三日坊主　mikka-bo-zu'. Yes it is me!! haha
