Campfire
November 2, 2009
I was out with my wife's friends and I was asked why I like Sendai/Tohoku. One answer I gave was that I like to see some hint of nature every once and a while. That was part of the difficulty of living in Tokyo for me. The occasional trip out to the country didn't cut it.
We then talked about going up into the mountains to spend the day around the fire and cook with the possibility of doing some actual camping.
I started talking about how excited I was to have a campfire again since it had been so long. Everyone's eyes at the table got big and I was peppered with questions about campfires.
I didn't get it, but in Japanese, the word campfire means bonfire - big bonfire. The Japanese word for campfire is takibi 焚火.
I hope when we go we'll have a takibi. I don't want to start a forest fire.
4 complaints:
Yes, I love a good campfire. Roasting marshmellows and a good beer.
I'm looking forward to hot dogs myself. Whether or not they come with buns will be seen.
Buns are a hard thing to find for sure. I only found them once, and they had the slit cut on the top not the side. Actually finding normal size hot dogs is hard too!
Hmm, I wonder if I could get my wife to make some ... if she can.
