New book to read...

I am always impressed by the quickness and well-organised pages of amazon.co.jp.
I already received a book I ordered a day before. I always wanted to read this book!

Cats' lovers

My ex-colleague who has a cat and I often talk about cats when we meet over dinner. Then she always gives me all small souvenirs she found when she travels all over Japan for work. These are also one of the cutest!!!

Heavily used this summer

I had heard that recent sunscreen is not as uncomfortable to put on as how it used to be but didn't believe it was this good. It feels like a skin cream and a little bit like whipped cream (airy) but it works properly.

My favorite sunscreen of the summer. (will no more use Anessa, I had thought that was "the" sunscreen...)

Books I read recently

It's always nice and interesting to read about people working in NGO abroad. I really feel the way they do activities depend a lot on their local culture.

















How working in a company affected someone's life is another perspective I find interesting these days.

Cute postcard received

My PC broke down a few weeks ago and I couldn't update anything.
This is a postcard I received this summer.
How cute is this?

Wedding in Prague

I had my friend's wedding in Prague and had a chance to visit this beautiful country, Czech Republic for the 1st time!!!

What a great beer they serve!
















Beautiful town called "Cesky Krumlov."

My favorite dish of the week. "Svickova na smetane" Roast beef with sour cream. Mine had some berry source on top and it blended well with meat.

Zamek Hluboka (castle)
It's on the way back from Cesky Krumlov to Prague.

The wedding just outside of Prague.

I enjoyed my trip to Czech Republic so much! I enjoyed local beer, people, beautiful castles and old buildings... Would like to come back once again for further discovery of the country!!!

Had a day trip to Nagoya with former students and my ex co-worker who used to teach with me.

The Nagoya Castle

The weather was the worst of all, rained all day. Enjoyed the castle, it was my 1st time!
















Didn't know deers are there!





Had a nice matcha tea break!




My favorite "Tokugawa garden."


And the master of the place.
