| 14:53:36 A picture of the snow in Hiroshima, taken from the car. | 14:57:27 Snow on a little roadside shrine. | 15:31:50 At Chie's Grandparents house. |
 |  |  |
| 15:31:59 | 15:32:38 | 15:34:49 A kind of biscuit with ginger in (there was also another similar type without ginger, fans of Japanese gags will know what a delight this was for me). |
 |  |  |
| 16:39:19 Outside the Co-op near Chie's grandparents house. | 16:39:31 Yes they have the Co-op in Japan! | 17:17:48 Outside Yamaya - the discount drinks store. |
 |  |  |
| 17:51:49 Back at Chie's family's home - some deep fried nori tempura and some Asahi Aqua Blue. | 19:26:16 Chie helping out with tonight's dinner: nabe. | 19:26:22 |
 |  |  |
| 19:28:32 Yuka-chan also lends a hand. | 19:28:41 Lots of mushrooms going in now. | 19:43:19 The finished product! |
 |  |  |
| 19:43:32 | 19:52:33 I think this was actually a video by accident. | 19:52:57 ...another go at that picture. |
