Selected quotes from Atheism for Lent 2018 study
8 years ago
Exactly two weeks in to me living in the small district of Kaya in the small town of Yosano I decided to run off to the City. Well, there is only so much to do here....
The City was Maizuru and it lies about half way up the western coastline of Japan. Its not really a very big City but with two department stores and a cinema and only a 1 hour train ride away it's one of the most convenient Cities to escape to. We got up at 7 on Saturday morning, were
out the house for the 8.10 bus to the station and then got the 8.34 train to West Maizuru. There we had donuts (that were light and tasty and not too sweet) and wandered around a nice little park that used to be a castle. After a bit more public transport we worked our way through both the aforementioned department stores, bought a small kettle, and headed home. We are quite happy with the kettle as it was small, cheap, and well we didn't have one. There was some confusion as the shop assistant tried to explain that it can only boil water once, but we managed to convince her that we knew what a kettle was in the end. They have water heaters here like you might get in a coffee house in the UK. They use too much hot water at home for tea and stuff so find them more convenient than a kettle. We disagree.
On Sunday there was cake.
