GW Day 1 Tsuchiura, Kasama, Hitachi
For the first time, Li Yan and I went traveling together, and it was a road trip during Golden Week to the North of Ibaraki and to Fukushima.
Enjoy the pics~

Lunch at Tsuchiura's(土浦)Aeon after picking up the car at Nissan Rental. We went to Nana's Green Tea and I ordered Seafood Curry Udon with Iced Matcha Latte.
After filling up our stomachs, we headed to Craft Hills in Kasama City (笠間市)which is famous for pottery. We wanted to try our hands on making pottery but by the time we arrived, it was too late. So we settled on painting the pottery.

After painting it, the plates have to be glazed and put into the kiln. So we have to wait for about a month and a half before they are really ready. After they are ready, they will be sent to Li Yan's place.
