Ordinary Sunday

This morning, so beautiful weather. The Utusubo park was peaceful, there were some family and people with dog. I often see people who are with dogs around here.

I had light lunch at the Boulangerie Takeuchi(http://r.tabelog.com/osaka/A2701/A270106/27002711/dtlsight/). They have some lunch menu. Every week it change a little. The first floor sells the bread. We can take the meal in the second floor.This shop seems to be popular, and there can be the scene that customers line up to the outside of a shop.

Delicious italian:-)

Osaka is called "Kuidaore no machiくいだおれのまち". I cannot translate this Japanese well. Maybe it means “Osaka have many delicious foods”. One of delicious foods is Italian! My loving that restaurant is Ilquadlifoglio(http://www.medic-web.jp/shop/s10001813/). It is located near by the Utsubo park. In the store's interior, the decorations of Christmas were taken. All the cooking tastes delicate. The pasta is in particular the best! I ate the spicy grass ware of the sea bream tonight.

My way back, wind was strong and it was so cold. At last the ginkgo row of trees of the Yotsubashi line have yellowed.

Taka-gun, Hyogo prefecture

Aotama shrine. Mysterious space among Osugi (trees). it is located at west of roadside station R427. There are seven big cedars of 600-1000 years appointed to the natural monument of the prefecture. Furthermore, "the couple cedar" that a trunk was divided into 2 rises in the mountain behind of the shrine.

You can do an experience to make paper here(denden;でんでん）.

3丁目の夕日（The setting sun of the third streets)

“The setting sun of the third streets” is one of my favorite movies.　Now I am watching it on TV.
http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=ngjPeW9gEGs&feature=related It is very heart warming story! As for the time, it is Showa reriod in Tokyo, the life of people were poorer than now. However, the people assisted each other and lived there. Though the scenery is totally different from now, I feel nostalgia in it. This movie is a running story. By the most new work, the poor writer aims at the prize to protect important people for him and wrestles with a his work. I am always impressed by the ending. I sometimes get tired of living in oneself as the Japanese and Japan. If I am the nation of other countries? Probably it will be the psychology that we want another which we have nothing (naimono nedari“ないものねだり:japanese”).　 In the same way as other countries, Japan have good and bad. I think in particular that old Japan lets us rediscover a Japanese good point.

Are you good at scolding a child?

I'm not good at scolding. I read a magagine which was a special feature about scolding a child. I can yet say nothing because I do not finish reading. Are you good at scolding a child? For me, it is the field of weak point. I think that it is very difficult to scold not only the child but also an adult.

I watch parents who awfully shout at a child at a shopping center, parents letting alone in a train. Though I do not yet understand it because I do not have the experience that raised a child, I think that it is really big work to bring up a person:-o

Hello, everyone!!!!! Everyone is E・T:-o

I went to the Universal studio Japan in Osaka. There were many people because today was first day of holiday. http://www.usj.co.jp/e/

Some people enjoyed music and a small game. This game looked very difficult. If you could fall a ring into a bottle, you get a doll.

The Halloween was finished yesterday. However, I was able to watch a Halloween parade today. Here was a cheerful atmosphere.

I watched this musical(WICKED) for the first time . I was impressed by a story and the performance of actors very much.
