Arita China Festival

I went to the Arita china festival with some friends last week for the big Japanese holiday called Golden week. It was exciting looking at all amazing craftmanship and different designs. There were blocks and blocks of little shops lining the streets.

I loved this shop because everything was so orginal.

Teapots and teacups galore!

 

These are the pieces I came home with. All of this for under $50!

Kayaking

Russell and I went kayaking this past weekend near our house at a place called 99 Island National Park. If we want to rent kayaks from base then we had to take this safety course and learn how to get back on them if we were to fall out in the middle of the ocean. It was not very easy, but it felt very good to accomplish this task. Now we can rent them whenever we like and go out to random islands near our house.
