Ordinary Life

My ordinary life...WITH TOY CAMERA!!
Do you know toy camera? The toy camera is a kind of funny camera!
It makes our ordinary life funny!This is the statin where I get on a train everyday.
I always see this view but through the toy camera, it became a little different.
A man was sleeping!haha

This is the train I always use, I don't like this green seats and old car.
however, when an sunset glow covered the train, the train became quite different thing!






Keihan buss, I somethime use...not so bad.

A street near my apartment.
The sky from my room in evening.

My pretty red bike!

They are parts of my life. I often thought there were no attractive elements in these scene. Some of you may think so but nothing is always same.
When I leave Japan or Osaka, I will miss all of them.
If you are bored, why don't you take photos?
You can find something interestng or new from your photos.











Cana's challenge!!

This is a fish, a poor small sardine. He was my training partner! My father told me how to cut and trim a fish. He was fresh and ready!! Oops!! Sorry Mr.sardine...but I will cook you a delicious tempura!

Ouch!!


Finally I did it!! I opened him! That was a very sad memory but also nice experience! I master how to cook fish. I think he was happy to have been my partner! Because my family eat them and told me they were delicious!!
To open fish is difficult but you should try!! A good cook should know how to open them!!




A small cafe in Tokushima

Winter is the best season for me. In winter, I love to go to cafe and have a hot coffee. A hot coffee makes my body warm and the atomosphere in a wonderful cafe makes my heart warm. I can enjoy chatting over a cup of coffee for a long time, or I should say we can't stop talking and going out of the cafe!
I enjoyed beautiful music and was in a good mood. There were a lot of elegant furniture so especially people who are interested in antiques can have a great time.
Look!! There were so many beautiful cups! Each cups have a different design, form and appeal.


My very berry tart with ice cream! The tart was so beautiful! Of course the cafe au lait was delicious! However I think that tart goes well with a cup of tea!haha


Next time you go to cafe or have some coffee, please check the cup and other tablewares. They will show you characters of the cafe!

Hola!!

I went to a spanish restrant with my friends(seniors) last Tuesday. The restrant is at Kyobashi. That was my first time to have spanish food...also I didn't know what kind of food spanish food were. I only knew a paella but I never have it! Im interested in another countries' food so I really was excited then! After school one of my friend took us to the restrant where he often goes. I want to show you some pictures of the restrant but I forgot to take...sorry so I'll take picture next time!! The atmosphere at the restrant made myself comfortable and relaxed. The owner was friendly and food were delicious!!! I show you some photos of spanish food!


This is GAMBAS AL AJILLO, fry shrimps and garlics in olive oil. First we ate shrimps, after that dunked a slice of bread in that oil and ate it. I got burnt my tongue with a hot fried shrimp!!!!! However I couldn't stop eating=)

This is PAN CON TOMATE. It means a bread with tomato. Pan con tomate was simple but tasty! We can make this easily! We need only breads, tomato, olive oil and salt.
Last one is CREMA CATALANA, custard(pudding) in catalana styles. I love it!!! This is custard pudding but not usual!! It also tastes cinnamon and I broke the surface of pudding! The surface was like a cinnamon candy!!! I cant explain so if you want to try them, just let me know, I'll take you there!!!
I tried more than 8 dishes!! I really wanted to show you!! All of spanish dishes I ate were wonderful. I had interests in Spanish food, culture and language. I want to take spanish class!! If you study spanish, please teach me!!!!

An old beautiful church. At night, that church was surrounded by a lot of pub and bar. The illumination was beautiful but church with pub is strange I think.



I want to tell you abou my best memory in summer vacation! I went to Singapore to see my friends during summer vacation. I was looking forward to seeing my friends since they left gaidai so I really was excited!! Friends and her familiy came for me at an airport and took me to their house. We talked a lot that night. She took me to a lot of place and introduce her friends, so I hung out with them evryday. I visited almost all of places which are on a guidebook!! You know that Singapore is about as big as Osaka? Actually Singapore is small so I could walked around many place and islands in a week. Also Singapore is very very very beautiful!! There were no dust (litter) on roads and streets unlike Osaka. Many people can speak English and Chinese. They teach me some Singlish. It is English but souds like Chinese!! so sometimes I couldn't understand what they say. However people I met are kind and friendly. I really want to visit there again!! Did you enjoy my photos?? Hope you like them!!
