Osaka Jazz Weekend

I made another short trip to Kansai this weekend. Took the shinkansen (bullet train) down on Friday evening and the night bus back home to Tokyo yesterday night. For having made no plans at all we did a lot. The highlight was the jazz club on Saturday night; Suntory 5 in Umeda. The band, New Orleans Rascals, is a bunch of old guys playing Dixieland jazz and they are so good at it that they've received the honorary citizenship of New Orleans. They started playing in 1961 and I wouldn't be surprised if we actually saw some of the original members this weekend


Apart from that we sang karaoke, watched a movie, cooked and played/listened to piano. Pictures!

Experimenting with macro.

That's it.

Take care!
