I take long-haul flights annually, from Christchurch to Sapporo is about 10,000km each way. I do feel bad about it! What I've started doing is getting my food from a local farmer's market, so at least fresh foods I eat are not shipped from the other side of the world. Now I also have pots of some veges and herb. Ideally should grow more in a vege garden but I don't have one, so I thought this could be an alternative! At the market I've found a pot of Mizuna (one on right in the below photo), leafy vege which Japanese use for hot pots, soups, salads and all sorts. It's not sold in shops in New Zealand so I was really happy that I found one! Stay well and keep my stomach happy. It's basic but important for me to keep riding to work and home!
Originally from Hokkaido, the northern island of Japan, home for the best seafood and snow in the country! Now I base myself in New Zealand working for Adventure South, a tour operator based in Christchurch. I'm one of the lucky people who get two summers in a year:-)
