Wow small world... ahaha, small island country! Well that's awesome.
Yeah, there was not much to do at all... I mean, not alot to do that required shelling out a lot of money. They lived comfortably with all the luxuries, but yet they needed nothing!
We spent a great deal of time visiting neighbors and family members-- a very close nit community! Everyone seemed to know each other somehow.
My family and 3 other neighborhood families (who all geniunely got along) went and watched fireflies for hours! Takefu is beautiful! We climbed a local mountain (don't remember the name) and did Zen meditation with a real Buddhist priest!
