Oh! Banji!

Jan. 19

It was the second day of my ski tour in Naeba

 

 

Because it snowed last night, the slope condition was better than yesterday.

 

 

I had an illusion as if I were a ski expert.

 

 

Actually, I ‘m not a good skier.

 

 

Then I quit ski early and went to Onsen bath.

 

Then I went to the hotel lounge to drink a glass of beer.

 

“Naito-san!”

Somebody called me from behind.

 

 

I was very surprised at seeing the guy.

He was Banji Shioda, an old my staff, who works in some winery in Austlria.

He said, he came back to Japan temporally and worked here as a waiter.

 

 

Surprise! Surprise!

 

Then I went to Echigo-Yuzawa station and had a nice dinner at some local restaurant

 

 

 

 

I enjoyed a lot of local fine dishes with a local wine and sake,etc.

 

 

 

It was a very fine ski tour!

I deeply enjoyed it.

 

Thank you very much!
