Camping with Kiwis

This weekend we're camping with a few of Hania's friends who are also doing the JET program in Ehime. This is Sarah and Amy, both from New Zealand, and both living in towns near Mikame. Hania and I hang out with them quite a bit, especially when the "Japanese experience" starts getting a little too intense. Below are a few shots of Oki beach, the place we're staying for the weekend. We're in Kochi, the prefecture south of Ehime, known more as a holiday destination than anything else. It's beautiful here with the white sand and warm water, and the waves here are huge, supposedly because of a typhoon offshore. I guess the only thing that could be a bit better are our camping skills. We have the necessary tents, food, and beer (thank god), but don't really have anything to cook with or any sort of a lighting for nighttime. Oh well, better luck next time.
