Infertility.

Hey, guys, welcome to take your creative play.

I'm your host, Emma.

And today I'm gonna tell you about what I did recently.

Recently, I went to Hiroshima.

If you guys have been to Russia, moved full, it's a little bit further south in Japan and it's beautiful.

It's actually one of my favorite places in Japan, and it had been a while since I've been that lost.

I think it's been about two years since my last visit before.

Thank you.

When I went recently, I actually got to experience a side of Karishma that I never experienced before.

I got to go to areas where I had never seen it and that they want so many people.

It was really relaxed and just a completely new experience.

So I'm gonna tell you guys what I did, and we're gonna enjoy it together.

I also made a video on my own channel about the experiences.

So if you want, check that out, it will be in a league in the description down below.

But let's get started.

So one of the things that I did on the trip is I went with a company called Silko.

A goal on a bicycle toe.

Now circle Rico takes you around.

We went, like, up a mountain and we went around insulting temples.

They take you away, cycling to us.

So you don't have to figure out what a way to go or anything.

And they take you and show you things that you wouldn't have seen before if you hadn't beat on the tour.

So a really, really good time with them.

The bicycles themselves are electric bikes, so they actually give you a bit of a helping hand.

I was worried because we were going to be going, like up a mountain on bicycles.

Always.

We're gonna do that.

I'm not very fit.

Yes, yes, you can do it.

The bicycles have been electric power system, so it helps you up the mountain.

It was so good.

Have you guys have been electric bicycle?

I had the best time, and I really, really want to buy one.

It's so good.

So we went halfway up a mountain and then we got to climb the rest of the way.

And when we got to the top It was like the most beautiful view of eurochem I've ever seen.

It was just really natural, was surrounded by trees and we could just see basically the whole city.

It was beautiful, had a really, really good time.

Wow, I can't believe started so popular and it was really relaxed.

The guides were stupid.

Nice.

I made friends with Khanna, who was one of the goals on the trip shows Really cool.

So we visited a couple of temples while we're there.

That was super beautiful.

And then we finished up a tear in the city and it was just a really relaxing, nice to it was a little bit of a physical challenge, but it was still super relaxing with the electric bikes.

And I had a really, really good time.

Another thing that we got to do is we got to go to Miyajima.

Imagine is one of my favorite places in all of Japan.

It's beautiful, beautiful island with lots of dear roaming around is also a beautiful shrine on the island.

But we didn't really focus on that island this time.

We got to go and enjoy some Japanese experiences with Okay, cool.

We went to this beautiful traditional house with a beautiful garden.

And we walked in and I got to try so many things.

First of all, I got to put on a kimono.

I got to wear a footy Saudi, which was so beautiful, actually, one of the most beautiful kimono I've worn while I've been in Japan.

The colors were so vibrant and the women was super nice.

One of them, she spent really great English and was just so easy to talk to.

That's kind of win if I say I want to be a friend, but I do.

But I also go to do shuttle, which is calligraphy.

I got to try calligraphy.

I wasn't like the best, but it was really fun.

They told me that kind of techniques that I needed toe use, and I feel like I'm a little bit more knowledgeable than I was before.

But yeah, and I got to keep my calligraphy.

After I finished, which was called to take it home, I also got to make I got to make only Guinea.

It was part of the experience.

I got to learn how to shape and make my own Onegin evil and put my own feelings in it.

Oh, so I even had a vegetable that was specific.

Just to hear Oshima was really good, really tasty.

So now I have that technique.

I can take it home and I could make my own rice balls.

We also got the opportunity to check out Shimada See sound, or she might have fishery, which had so many oysters.

It's basically an oyster farm right next to Miyajima.

Went out on a boat and got to have a look at where they grow all of the oysters.

They also took us really, really close to the shrine of Magimel.

We got to go directly underneath.

It's Kashima and we got like, the best view.

And there was no one around us because the tide was in usually.

Imagine I get super busy.

So when you got to see the shrine, you can't really see it without people getting in any of your photos and everything.

But because the water was up, we just got it all to ourselves.

It was awesome.

So after we looked at the Oyster Farms, we went back and I got to try some oysters and they were delicious and there were huge.

I was not expecting them to be that big, so we got to have them cooked directly in front of us.

Super fresh.

And it was amazing.

We got to look at Magimel.

When we did.

It was very and he can't do it.

My left hand.

Uh, that's really good.

I want that chunk.

The only thing is, we didn't come in the exact right season.

So if you come in winter and you go with the early morning, you can actually go and see them, hoist up the oysters and actually gather them and inform them.

But unfortunately, we went there in the exact right time, so we couldn't see that.

But if you guys go on the tour, you can.

So another thing that we got to do is we went to Toman Orta and we went to the Carcass Cafe.

And then we went on a sea kayak journey for three hours and got to see some amazing things.

There was so many fish.

I don't know why, but they were all just jumping out of the year and we got to see some beaches and then they took us to this temple and this temple was kind of on the edge of a cliff, and I've never seen anything like it.

It was just was so high up on when you stood by the temple, you could look down and it was just all these crashing ways.

It was amazing because this temple is in celebration and support of women, infertility and not women infertility, because one of the things that this temple is about is pregnancy and the safety of birth and everything like that load of symbols.

The Wish Khan's call them boards that you write on here.

Usually a temples will have a picture of something to do with the temple, and then you write your wish or your your goal in the back.

And so he has nothing that they have is a pair of breasts to symbolize, like plenty of milk for the babies.

So there's a little breasts, but it was it was good exercise, and we got to go kayaking and I had a really good chat with the guide, and it was just nice to get back to the ocean from all the ocean breeze and just have a really relaxing good time.

Also, when we go to the temple.

Hey, like a little picnic for us, which was really cute, and they had to try some snacks that have never tried before.

I got to try like a thing called a banana omelet, but it was kind of like a fluffy cake with banana cream.

And then we'll say like a coconut thing that I've never seen before in Japan.

I guess I just around here Oshima So that was a really good experience and a really great time and help me get back in touch with nature and the ocean.

Is that too hippy ish to say?

But I had a great time.

I was lucky enough to actually get to kayak in the same boat as the guide.

So I got a lot of information, a lot of facts, and he was super nice and super helpful.

He actually told us about Tominaga and the fact that polio is kind of based about that area.

Hi Oh, me exactly went to Tom Onoda and stayed at a house which we actually got to see on the journey and the house next to it is the house that they that pawn your lived in in the movie and that we saw the area where he finds Ponyo and everything.

It was really cool.

I had no idea and so was such a surprise when we got to see it was beautiful, really nice area.

The last place that we went to was called Hoco dull.

And it is a shop that is famous for selling and making the Kumano calligraphy brushes, and they also do makeup brushes a swell.

So the shop is well known and a lot of famous poets have bought brushes from there.

So I got the amazing opportunity to be able to make my own calligraphy brush, and I had some guidance from a lady who was clearly very famous and she had her face on it like a poster on the wall shows.

Quite old that she was amazing and very intimidating, So I got to make a brush with her.

She was clearly a master.

I think she's been doing this for over 40 years, so I felt completely out of my depth.

But we ended up making a really beautiful brush with my name engraved on it, and it was a crazy experience.

I never thought I'd have that experience.

We also had a tour through the shop and we got showing all the different kinds of has that they used to make different kinds of brushes.

And we got told that there's over 70 steps to making a brush is one of the few people that are still around today that can make the brushes to such an amazing caliber.

It was an honor to get to work with her.

She was amazing.

It was really cool.

And it was just so great to make my own brush.

And now that I also did the experience where I got to learn how to do calligraphy And now I'm learning calligraphy brush.

I'm set.

I'm gonna calm a poet.

It's just what's gonna happen.

So get ready talking, Toby, Travelers No more.

It's gonna be talking of the Japanese poet.

Yeah, that was my trip to Hiroshima.

I had such an amazing time and I can't wait to go back.
