Two members started off from Yu Station in Oguni at 8:30 and met up with five more at Hanaasobi (flower garden) in Uchinomaki before continuing across the caldera to Michi no Eki Aso and finally reaching Aso Shrine with their collecting boxes at around 5pm.... It was a beautiful day,and a lovely chance to get out and enjoy the views,the roses at Hanaasobi and the yummy yoghurt ice cream at Michi no Eki Aso. Some things had changed.....some had stayed the same,some places were open for business as usual.....some were closed,but generally people were out and about,which was good to see. 2016-05-22 07:03 JSTRene Saint-Laurent in the news . . . again! ;)-- Kirkhttp://www.the-japan-news.com/news/article/0002962864Foreigners residing in Kumamoto aid recovery 2016-05-21 23:50 JSTToa admits falsifying test data during Kumamoto port project … 2016-05-21 19:25 JSTKang Sang Jung, the man you see in the photo, is an interesting person.

Aso reminds me of my native California, though in the latter case, water (lack thereof) is the cause, whereas in the former, field burning conducted in late winter kills off tree saplings while leaving grass roots covered with a nutritious ash layer. Cattle are normally released to pasture in late April and may stay until as late as November, but release this year was delayed by a month due to obvious reasons. Yesterday, though, likely impatient bovines from as far away as Yamaga and Uto were released for their summer grazing. Ranchers pay ￥220 per cow per day as a grazing fee under a system instituted in 1996 - much less moo-lah than providing feed. Various ranchers expressed relief that the pastures are again open.As for the cows, one was quoted as saying, 「モー、地震は要らん」 ("We don't need any mow earthquakes"), while another seemed more stoic: "Live to die an udder day." Others were seen chatting happily: "Who's that new heifer?" "Dunno - never seen herbivore" and a cow telling her calf, "Off to bed! It's pasture bedtime!" - Williamhttp://kumanichi.com/news/local/main/20160520007.xhtml牛たち待望のダッシュ 阿蘇市で「熊本型放牧」－熊本のニュース│ くまにちコム 2016-05-20 11:48 JSTGhibli fans should enjoy this. There's a YouTube video that shows the commercial made to promote Kumamoto agriculture.
