the monitor in the train car was fun. This first one is the train equivalent of the airline “fasten your seat belt and put up your tray tables” speech - they’re identifying what you can and can’t do . (one guide explained to us that the crossed hands/arms means “don’t do that”). The second one was about unagi, I hope.

In Kagoshima we took a large ferry (carried the tour bus) over to an island, to get the best look at Sakurajima volcano. It’s always simmering so they have to protect the citizenry from falling ash most of the time. And on any fruit trees, they wrap the fruit with small paper bags, to avoid ash contact. We got lucky with weather - seeing the peak is relatively uncommon. By the end of the day, the entire volcano was shrouded by clouds & fog.

When we travel, we make a point of ordering different things for dinner, and trade bites, so as to be able to taste more stuff. If not a breach of etiquette, maybe bending it a little. In any case, trying to discreetly pass a spoonful of soup across the table can be disastrous. “Dear Abby” would have been mortified.
