Day 2 Takao

It's our second day in Japan and I've discovered the ' key on this mighty multi lingual keyboard this morning.

We started the day on an early morning picket line just around the corner from our hotel! and I sang "which side are you on"!!.


I'm sure the writer Florence Reece, a miner's wife in Kentucky, who wrote it in 1932 during a bitter miners struggle, would not have imagined that her song would travel so far.

Yesterday we discovered an amazing toilet with a heated seat and on top of the cistern a bowl rather than the usual flat top. When you flushed water form a tap drained ran into the bowl and drained into the cistern for the next flush so you could wash your hands and thus recycle the water!!
