Ishinami Beach

OOOOKKKEEEE, after l gave'em a little present ... it is a custom in japan, that whenever u go to visit in somebody else house, need to bring something, some present, anything ... so l gave'em a piece of pecorino, an italian cheese like the parmiggiano that u use on spaghetti (but why Osho didn't like spaghetti?) the difference is that pecorino is saltly, it has also pepper flavor and mainly it is a Roma speciality, so l brought a half form from Italy ... because l found out that it can keep well in the fridge for long time without going bad ... and here in japan a good cheese like this one ... u just dream it.
So they put it in the fridge, we took the small car ... lf l have to drive it, l should stick my head outside the window with sun-glass to avoid all kind of flying insects that u usually encounter while driving ... but good that l do not have the driving license ... and here in japan almost everything is so low and small ... my poor back 'n' neck!
anyway they brought me to this beautiful beach ... it was my first japanese beach, l mean real beach with real clear water and warm too and fantastic scenery ... although it reminded me of goa because of its long beaches and lshinami beach is very long beach and almost nobody is there!!! what u want more?

and see that island clearly visible on my back? l heard that's the famous beach, the monkey island, the one where a monkey started to wash a potato and suddenly all the monkeys around the globe started to wash the vegetable before eating it ... l remebered that Osho too talked about it (lf l'll find it l'll post it) so l was kinda excited to be there so close to an'intelligent island.
Well l didn't see any monkeys and l did'nt care to see'em because the water was so inviting just like a woman who try to persuade with her natural power ... just like that.
The sun was quite nasty with its rays, in fact l got a little bit burned BUT fellas, whats the point to go to the beach if u don't get burned a little bit?!
After l swam and played with the ocean l went, walking like a thief without making any noise on the sand, with the camera in my hand behind this cute bread making couple sitting shanti shanti looking nowhere and ... CLIC.

YEP! it is very close and l also thought to swim to go there ... forget it.
It need great strength to reach there because in between there is a strong oceanic current ... unless the water is still like a mirror, alloooora ...

Your english is very good.
Chamki tells me you never went to school.
Lucky fellow
I hated school, was bored out of my mind
Which is NOT the no-mind that Osho talks about!
In school I felt trapped and time stood still as a boring teacher droned on n on n on ...
Do you know that many of us Indians went to Christian missionary schools, segregated ... only boys or only girls!
And we had Nuns... Mothers n Sisters ... help!
No wonder I found my way to Osho.

thanx tanmayo, l never thought to learn english in the way as l know it now ... do u remember how l could not speak it? and chamki had to be in the middle to translate ... but then, it is because of Osho that my english flowered ... l started with Osho's books and an electronic dictionary to translate almost each word of what he was singing ... but wait, it is true that l never went to school to learn english but l went to school until 16 yrs old and l was a perfect drop-out! and while the teacher was blah blah-ing l was sleeping ...LOL! (^^ゞnot always of course.
Here in japan too there is this stupid division between boys 'n' girls ... aaaww

Gosh, chamki didn't say you never went to school! Anyone would have asked back: how possible? because school is compulsory, and in Italy not just for few years, now you have to go until 18, so you saved 2 years. What i said was that you never studied English at school! so you are amazingly good without going to English school, that's what i said. Language is really the best and the worst of human resources, so easily misunderstood, we say something and people get something else, that's why i love silence so much - yet i can't avoid to communicate. OK i came back here because of the video link (good!) and i love to see all that empty space (the couple makes even clearer that's not another planet)- that is the beach i would like to visit every day - is like that all year around? i may move to Japan.
