Our intrepid adventurer in Kyushu.
Yesterday we visited the 2 Shinto shrines in Takachiho, then spent the night at an onsen (hot spring bath) in Aso where we slept on futons in a tatami mat room.
Visiting a Shinto shrine.
And Mark Leuthold makes an appearance on the top of Mt. Aso with their wonderful tour guide Manami.
While, with furrowed brow, our Kathleen Bennett ponders:
"Is there someone willing to suggest the appropriate amount for a tip, if one wishes to do so?
This is a challenge worldwide, knowing what is appropriate or expected in each culture for tipping.
Thank you."
