There is a man along the road who built two traditional mongol huts. He lives in one and lets tourists stay in the other.
In the next village a chiropractor practices from a tree house surgery.
The only italian restaurant is run by an ex-salaryman who had had enough with the rat race so he bought a book of how to cook Italian food and opened up a rather delicious restaurant out of a freight container.
There are a group of hippy-like people who live a few villages away and live in old houses with no electricity or water (You can drink the rivers here). They look the part with bongo drums and 'ethnic' stuff all around them, but they all have immaculate new looking cars outside. Perhaps someone forgot to tell them about that part of being a hippy.
I used to be fisherman and one of the crew was a Swiss trained pastry chef who spoke fluent German, spoke exactly like 'Hard Gay' and looked like a pirate with a limp and only one eye.
All of these people are Japanese. Not the kind of Japanese people you find described in a guide book, but Japanese nevertheless.
Has anyone else met or heard/read about any equally wierd and wonderful Japanese people?
