The Monday was rainy again, which made us so mad, that we decided to do something interesting, just against mother nature. Somebody told us about a big greenhouse somewhere in the opposite part of Tokyo. It can't be rainy over there, we thought, and had a go.

The trip was really worth, I have never seen such a huge greenhouse. There were several creeks, waterfalls, tropical lodge and anything else one can expect there.

Fortunately, the agressive abos have been domesticated a long time ago, so we could make a try with their house.

As there is no week without party (so it seems at least), we were invited by Koyanagi sensei to his own dojo, which is at the ground floor of a big office center.

There was a practice before the party, preventing us getting soft and fatty. An interesting fact is that one can go to the toilet by elevator: guys to the 3rd floor, ladies to the 4th.

The end of the party.

As I promised to take aikido pictures, I made some at kid's class. This is Uchino san with one of our favorites: Haruki (red belt). Japanese kids are much smaller than Europeans, so they seem much better coordinated - a surprising experience.

There is no lack of chaotic events here, as you can see at this picture. The kid's classes are very funny, although sometimes not too exciting, as we have not always something to do.

And we say "Good bay" with this picture from the end of the kid's class.
