TdL

Expedition

killing two birds with one stone: today's hashpoint on the way to kyoto university. no GPS device available (like last time) so i orient myself by the google maps screenshot i memorized. easy though thanks to the fact that kyoto is organized like a chessboard and that i cycle the first 80% almost every day anyway. so i arrive there, and as suspected, the hashpoint lies on private property. no problem though: i accidentally run into yamazaki-san, a lovely 87 year old brisk lively woman, who (after i try to explain geohashing with my fucked up japanese) gladly shows me around on the first floor. keeps mentioning the war though. however, now i'm here, so i might as well grab myself a drink and check out the temple complex nearby. happy :-)

-started about 7km east of the destination (as the crow flies) and took me about one hour to get there by bicycle (took a bit longer cause no GPS available). on the way: highways, ricefields, the local headquarters of the japanese self-defense forces and the usual scenery of an industrialized country. at the target point: the warehouse of a tomato farmer in the middle of nowhere (don't ask me what nishiimoarai is supposed to be - the only thing i know is that it lies between oyamazaki's and kumiyama's city limits). nice trip though, all in all.
