I'm testing flickr.com, so uploaded a
bunch of pics that I took on last Saturday.
I went to my grandmother's 7-kaiki (I don't know how to say it in English), but basically, it's been 7 years since my grandmother passed away and we visited her tomb and said hey ;) (She was very genki!)
Well, I can't believe 7 years passed since then.
The next ceremony will be 13-kaiki and the next will be the 17-kaiki. I guess we have this tradition not just for respecting the ancestors but also for the opportunities for family gathering.
Anyway, after this ceremony, my parents took everybody to a restaurant near my parents' house. The restaurant is called
Soumonkyoraisou (草門去来荘) and I didn't realize when I was there but today I found out that it is one of Kiwa corporation's restaurants. (They have a bunch of nice restaurants).
The restaurant was built in a huge bamboo bushes and it's very old looking and interesting. The food was good too :)
We all ate too much.
At the end, they served a desert made of Murasaki-imo. It was yummy!
But while I was eating it, I started wondering why it is purple...
There must be some reasons it is purple, isn't it? Like any kind of evolution, the stronger DNA will survive .. :-?
Anyway, I started acting like a kid and kept asking my parents "Why is it purple?" "Why there are purple cabbages as well? Why is it like this? and that? .."
Hehe.. It's fun to act like a kid sometimes. But my parents didn't know the answer... I have to search it by myself as I'm an adult ;P

OK... I tested flickr.com's publishing function. It is not so bad, but not much control and I can't preview the post... The Japanese didn't show up correctly.
I also don't know how to change the order of the photos when I upload them... Hmmm...
I'm editing this post at blogger.com...
