9/11 Martinez wonderful night!
11/Sep/2010 fine @Palo Alto - Martinez, CA
"Bamboo!!!"
I touched warm hearts tonight. I was invited wonderful dinner in Martinez. So kind, and fun! I had a happiest time tonight. Thanks!
I traveled about 60miles, lost ways many times, was so tired, but laughter and talking at dinner regained our vigor. I and BAMBOO SAMURAI will give many people in California bamboo bikes which I make by using Japanese bamboo someday.
Lunch were Tacos, some Mexican foods. I ate at the Mexican truck. (屋台)
And I visited UC Berkeley, today there was a foot ball game, and I saw victory marching there! It was so fun!
Today started from Stanford university, and via Oakland (visited BAMBOOBIKEWORKS, but not open) , and arrived Martinez, CA. http://bamboobikeworks.com/
In America, Bamboo bike is new! People's reactions are splendid. I am happy. In California there are many bike-loving people and eco-friendly people, so here may be Mecca of bamboo bike. I am happy that many people notice attractiveness of bamboo and do bamboo business. BAMBOO SAMURAI want to contribute to bamboo business.
走行二日目、カリフォルニア州のマルチネスという町にきています。夕食に招待され、ホームステイもさせて頂きました。近所の方もきてくれて、みんなで「バンブー」と叫んで撮った写真は一生の宝になりました。竹自転車の反応はアメリカカリフォルニアでは上々です。自転車が大好きな方がたくさんいて、サーフィンの有名なところでもあるし、環境に意識の高い人が多く、竹自転車の市場が拓けていけば素敵なことです。日本の竹で自分の手で作った竹自転車をアメリカでお世話になった方々にプレゼントしたいと思います。ってか、いっぱい作らなあかんな(笑)!カリフォルニア大学バークレー校を訪問したところ、フットボールの試合があったそうで、町は大変な賑わいでした。勝利の行進のマーチングバンドも見ることができました。
