A sunset on a local bridge.

 I ran into a beautiful sunset on a local bridge the other day. Thankfully, I wasn't in hurry at that time, and it seemed the scenery could become even more attractive if I waited for a while.

 So I decided to wait :) opening up a novel, reading on the bridge while feeling the autumn cool wind coming across the river.  Just ten minutes later....

 Oh, wow! The beautiful things always make me feel my life is worth living. 

Going to "Sake Exchange Tokyo"!

 Unlike typical Japanese society, where alcohol play a big role in business meetings, festivals, and parties, my life goes well without it. But sometimes I miss the atmosphere of drinking in public, and that's exactly why I joined a fantastic workshop "Sake Exchange Tokyo" a couple nights ago.

 In this event, they serve six different sake along with dish. Each sake was paired with carefully chosen meal so that it enhances the taste of sake. It means we could enjoy not only sake, but also food :) A British professional man taught us the basic information about sake both in English and Japanese, then he told us how to make a best combination with sake and food.

 We enjoyed so many kind of sake on the evening that I almost fell asleep on the train coming back to home, haha.

A fine restaurant in a hotel.

 All I need is a calm, relaxing place to eat :)

Drawing at Saturday class :)

 Something like this.... :)

A calm peaceful weekend in my hometown.

 Sometime, I need to get out of all annoying stuff in my daily life, and run into a cafe for sweets. So this weekend, I drove to a lakeside cafe in the morning, spent sometime reading books and writing diary. Indeed, I can't go without this kind of alone time :)

Sunday Night Blue.

  It's always difficult to live in Japan, where so many unwritten stupid rules are accepted in society. From time to time, I feel so tired of attempting to adopt it, and recently, I finally gave up pretending to try any longer. Yes, it's hard to be myself in this country, doing something different than what it's supposed to be. For that reason, I sometime run into a cruel criticize for my clothing, food I have, way of speaking and behaviour.
 Sometime, as I gaze up at the sky, wondering how long I can live on this tiring country.  But for now, I keep my style in home, food and clothing to try to make distance from all.

breakfast with sweet plum, yogurt, sliced bread with avocado, and more :)
