33 ADDRESS on the Earth

24/07/2011


While I was looking for tourist spots in Kochi I came across a secluded spot on the map with a label "地球の３３番地" which means the address of 33 on the Earth in English. This of course sounded interesting. So we set out along the Enoguchi river towards the sea until this strange place came in to view.

So came the place in to view. It was situated in the middle of the flowing Enoguchi river with a strange monument built at the spot. No body was in sight so proving that this was not at all a tourist spot. A wooden dock was built to reach the spot.


When we got closer,that was strange monument had a big metal ball with wings an a big 33 written on it.


 Well I think it is high time to introduce what this 33 address really means. This means that the lattitude 133 33' 33" and longitude 33 33' 33" crosses at this very spot. As every single value has a 33 in it this place is called 33Address on the earth. It is said that only 8 other such places exist on the whole earth.
So if you are in Kochi go for it.

Special thanks to Quang and Minh of Vietnam for walking all that way for nearly 3 kilo meters.

Tanabata - Story behind the tale

Story1 Orihime is a princess who wove beautiful clothes by the bank of the Amanogawa which is  Milky Way in English . She worked very hard every day to weave clothes. However, Orihime was sad that because of her hard work she could never meet or fall in love with anyone. Concerned about his daughter,  the  father arranged for her to meet Hikoboshi who lived and worked on the other side of the Amanogawa. When the two met, they fell instantly in love with each other and married shortly thereafter. However, once married, Orihime no longer would weave cloth and Hikoboshi allowed his cows to stray all over Heaven. In anger,  the  father separated the two lovers across the Amanogawa and forbade them to meet. Orihime became despondent at the loss of her husband and asked her father to let them meet again. The father was moved by his daughter’s tears and allowed the two to meet on the 7th day of the 7th month if she worked hard and finished her weaving. The first time they tried to meet,

Tateyama Alpine Route - Murado Station

19/07/2010 Another dream coming true. I always wanted to go there.I was collecting leaflets, pamphlets about this but never thought of   going due to the high costs. Well, luck was upon me this one time. It was early morning of 5.45 and I was waiting for my sensei s vehicle in front of  Toyama Station. I did know the plans for the day but that we were going to Tateyama. Were we going to Kurobe Dam too, or going to Kurobe Dam?Were we going to take the Alpen Route or go straight to Kurobe? Surprises were waiting. We reached Tateyama Station and I knew it is my dream coming true. Weather and information of the day  It was around 14degrees at the top of the mountain while it was nearly 36degrees at the foot. We were simply above the clouds and the temperature difference was too much to bear. It was cold in the summer. Early in the morning when we passed the Murodo staion on our way to Kurobe dam it was clear all around. in the afternoon, sudden fogs, drizzles and strong winds
