Golden Week - big wastewater drainage cleaning!

Saturday May 7th was big wastewater drainage day in Futtsu. The city supplied hemp bags for the mud. It was an experience I did not want to have missed.

Speaking about adventure, this is where the snakes are coming into play.
 


See you next week....
