Our Picnic in Ohme


Japanese people usually like to have picnics at the riverside. We went to Ohme on the outskirts of Tokyo on Sunday, June 21,1998. These are some pictures taken on the banks of Tama river, an oasis in urban Tokyo.


What's cookin'? Hmm, I don't think I ever had barbecued leg of lamb before. He is a good chef today.
Many people like to play baseball everywhere. Little league was played in the mealtime of BBQ using rolled paper bat and aluminum foil ball.
Sometime we enjoy fishing when we have BBQ party at the river side. That day we saw fishermen in wading boots, I was surprised because they look like real fishermen working in the fish shop. Fishing is very popular in Japan, people go to river side or lake side to enjoy fishing on weekends. There are a lot of kinds fish in Japan such as trout, bass, carp and sweet fish. In this river we expect to catch sweet fish . It is a very tasty fish.
Food tastes good when you enjoy it with friends.There are many drinks and foods ,for example kiwiwine,sangria,beer,cheese cracker,Japanese pickles,watermelon and off course roasted lamb.
We had a happy time. After the BBQ party, we took some pictures as a souvenir. Japanese people like to take some pictures together at every event as a souvenir, so that we never forget the day. We have four seasons in Japan, so we have many different activities to go outside.
