Show and tell

Flying back today, yesterday took part in the tradition of visiting a shrine to make a prayer for the year ahead (well, I accompanied my wife at least):

You throw money on the tarp, then make your prayer.

On route, there are barrels of sake offered by distillers country wide as tribute to the various temple deities:

Interestingly, France sends barrels of wine as well, nice diplomatic gesture:

Took my daughter to The Eras tour in 2024 in Switzerland, queued for several hours to make sure we were in front.

I'll admit it - best concert I've ever been to.

A friend of ours had tickets to the Vienna concert, she was devastated when it was cancelled!
