An afternoon at Haneda Airport.

 Sometimes we have to go out when we feel frustrated in our daily life. In that case, Haneda Airport,mainly used for domestic flights and LCCs but also for international flight in recent years, may be a good destination to visit. I went to the airport a couple weeks ago, just see the planes and the passengers go back and forth. Despite people rushed in and out of the airport, I was waiting for nothing in particular. I climbed on a deck nearby, then took a glance once in a while, especially when a loud sound wrapped on it.

 One thing I noticed about the airport was we can visit without any purpose. We can drink, eat in a fine restaurant, and buy clothes and stuff. It was like a mega shopping mall. Since I like this kind of place, I spent much more time than I expected.

I was lucky I found Mt. Fuji before I left. Also, Sky Tree and Tokyo Bay was in my sight. It was a nice afternoon :)

Chita Peninsula and fish market :)

 Whenever I got tired of hot weather, I drive my car to the south until it reaches the ocean. Recent couple of weeks, this country gets more and more severe temperature, so it was time to get back to my hometown to head to the sea :)

 I was supposed to work while I was on the bullet train. What made it impossible was the comfortable seat which prevented me from overwork. I slept, and once I awake and looked outside of the window, it was almost in my hometown Nagoya.

 Well, let's go to the sea, shall we? :)

 The reason I repeatedly come back to the sea is to eat nice fish and foods. While it's available to enjoy at some cool and sophisticated facilities, I tend to spend more time in a local fish market. "No two things are the same" I always think that way in the market ;)

Walking in Meiji Shrine.

 Meiji Shrine is a wonderful place to take a walk whenever  you feel tired of being in a big city like Tokyo. Meiji Shrine lies just near the fancy place called Harajuku, . Quiet, cooler than the outside, and lots of nature welcome you. A mid morning of July, I decided to get there to walk.

 In spite of crowded streets just near from it, walking inside the Meiji Shrine is something like hiking on the peaceful grass field. Not surprisingly, it was indeed cooler than the outside, thanks to small water ways and trees shading me. I saw many foreigners walking along with their cameras.

An hour walking made me so hungry, so I had a lunch nearby. It's so convenient to get a fresh air at the shrine. Thanks!

Tough nights and meals.

 As I moved to a new apartment yesterday, the first thing I did was checking out of the condition of the tiny kitchen. It was almost the only thing I noticed when I searched a room to rent: if it's capable for my daily cooking. Baking breads, making rice, soups, and grilling fish. Foods actually makes my life, thus, I was so satisfied to find it was enough to do it. Although it must take time to get used to live this current new place, I'll be definitely okay as long as I could keep cooking :)

from nowhere.

Sometimes I feel so lonely, as if the whole world tries to eliminate me.

Beneath the railway.

 I came over this place yesterday when I walked across an old bridge to see my friend. Akihabara, known as the electric town, was on the other side of the river, you can see electric buildings stood there with a bunch of neons and ads.  Somehow I like this area where  sophisticated shops gathering in a small place. A day later, I found they call it "Maach Ecute" (The official site is here).  "Well, I'll come back soon with my SLR camera" I thought while taking pictures with my smart phone :)

A day of fallen apart.

 It was the day my wife moved from our home. She said she'd lost reasons for being here. And I hardly knew how to react. Despite such a serious crisis was going on, I had many things to do: people to meet for working, place to visit and such. The world goes on and on, as if it's only a piece of the facts.

A short stay in Nagoya :)

As holiday came, I go back to my hometown Nagoya to enjoy spending time with my family as well as my lovely dog. During my stay, I went out to have a lunch with my friend, or eating sushi.

 On the other hand, I cook by myself for my family, kept my room clean, and drove to the grocery to find nice ingredients. “There’s no difference while I was in Tokyo!” I thought myself, because the initial purpose for coming back is to take a rest. Nevertheless, I didn’t feel upset, or frustrated at all. Perhaps that’s what it’s like to stay with my family :)
