Obi - The Samurai Town

YO! today l was glued to this chair doing few things with this addicted machine that doesn't allow me much movement except for my hands and my eyeballs ... it happen that eventually l would remember to shake a little bit this out-of-sport body and thats what l did today when l went to

the kitchen around 6 o'clock PM and have a little YAHOO ... but l noticed that the sky was tremendously PINK!!!! just like in a dream, almost unreal!!! believe me when l say this!!! NO, no need to believe me because l'll show u what l mean ... but first lets finish with this samurai town, Obi.
So after eating delicious food that l talked about previously, l went for a walk in these streets that are still the original ones since samurai time, l mean the design of the town is the same as when it was designed from ... who?... bbhoooooo l don't know and who care?! anyway l went straight to the famous Obi Castle that fortunately it was free of charge to go in, whereas to go to some specific area needed to pay some fee but l chose the free option and so l went in like an apache and l liked the atmosphere ... there was almost nobody, thats what l like most , just very few or nobody ...aaaaaaahh it is another music. Then l sat down to an old almost rotten bench facing these BIG WALLS surrounding the main campus ... there was a beautiful silence with the chirping of birds and the cool oxygen the trees were offering and the vibe of these stones telling their stories ... l dont know for how long but then l moved in the campus inside this second walled fence and l found out that actually there is a school for children!!! WOW nice! a school inside the castle? thats real nice!!! so l explored more and went on the top and OOOOOOOOHHHH ... a vast park with very tall trees with the exit at the end ... there were only 2 gardeners doing their business and l went to the exit to give a look and WOW .... that was a real nice spot, l could feel like a ninjia watching his breathing going in and out of his nostril ... then l went back inside in the park that l loved it a lot and sat down to a more robust bench ... resting a little bit in the shade of these fellas trees ... then l said to myself (AND WITH WHO? u might think... right? because l talk to trees too) lets check how much this body of mine is in form, sportive, reflexive since l don't do any sport since 12 yrs ... so l started to jump like matrix on the fence and trying to walk in equilibrium on it like a ninjia tatatata ... well guys, l admit that l needed water after a couple of minutes but it was real fun!!! l went on like this for about half an hour ... l survived, thank you.
The reality was that l found out last year in internet this kind of sport, PARKOUR , and l liked it very much so l wanted to give it a try ... OK next life may be.
Going out of the castle l read the story of Obi castle on a board and l read that the houses surrounded with very strong and massive stone-walled just like in the picture on the right, it was meaning that the house belonged to a high level ranked samurai and usually they are nearest the castle and while going farther from it there are thinner fence, weaker walls, meaning ... yes bravo u guess it rightly ... a less powerful samurai and so on and so forth.


l told u that Madhupan started to work right?! well so we had dinner at 8 o'clock (and it was late because they had to eat at 5:30 PM and 8 PM is bed time and the alarm for the morning was at 3 AM ... for them, lucky me) but it was clear that l could not stay much in the sauna-shop so l suggested that the next day l would go to Nango, just 4 station more from obi, to stay a couple of days till they are free again and then l would have gone to Yakushima Island and so ... the next morning l took the train and went to A&N place leaving in peace these bread-making souls.
