Cherry blossoms in 2016

Hi!   How are you getting along ?  


Sometimes, I'm going to show you  photographs and events.

Tokyo Disney Sea

I went Tokyo Disney Sea in April.

Sightseeing inTaipei

I went sightseeing next day.

First thing in the morning, I saw Lungshan Temple where is the most famous temple in Taipei.

The Cathedral was artistic. 

Many people prayed in the precincts.

The picture of upside is a gate of the temple. 

I didn't take the picture of the hall because precincts is sacred.

And then, I went National CKS Memorial Hall that is huge building made of granite.

I have never seen such a great architecture, and was stunned by the powerful figure .

The upside picture is the scenery from the Hall.

After having delicious lunch, I went Martyrs Shrine and saw guard mount.

They are really strong guys.

Next is the National Palace Museum.

The works of art are wonderful.

I was charmed by the beauty of the celadon porcelains.

After that I had massage in taipei method.

It was comfortable, I relaxed and completely regained.

The picture shows Shimen in the evening.

It is said that there has similar atmosphere with Harajuku in Japan.

There is bustling with activity, and very popular for young people.

I had a marvelous day in Taipei.

Wonderful Taipei

I went Taipei this week.
It  was wonderful trip.


The time reaching the hotel in Taipei was around 9 pm.
I went night market near the hotel soon. 


There are some night market in Taipei, those are open until about 2AM. 
There were very crowded , many street stalls, smells of many kind foods.


I ate sweets made of beans and jelly and potato, it was very nice taste. But I couldn't eat any more, because had eaten meals in the airplane. I regret that.

















Surprisingly, there was not street stall, and no garbage ( except some dog's craps) when I took a walk next morning 7AM. 

The streets were very clean, and many bikes shot vigorously. 

Cherry Blossom

I love cherry blossom. 
Most of Japanese love it.

Spring is the season of commencement,  and  new semester of school in Japan.
People take pictures of  their children under the tree on the occasion.


I have some pictures of when I was a student, which might be took by my parents or friend's father. After I  became a parent, of course,  took pictures of my kids under the cherry blossom when their school entrance ceremony.


So, memories of cherry blossom are concerned with starts of school life , happy smile of parents,  new friend , and  little nervous feeling toward new life.
Probably most of us have similar feeling.

I have other memories concerning cherry blossom.
Two years ago, my father was notified by doctor that he had cancer and his remain life is about half year.
My father said me,
“ I want to see cherry blossom next year, but I don't know if I can do."
I knew the feeling, but I couldn't say anything.


The period of opening the blossom is less than two weeks at the most and the petals are gone in 2 or 3 days after  full blossom.


I appreciate that I can enjoy cherry blossom this year too.

Steve Jobs kindle version

I finished Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson of kindle version.

This is the best biography that I have ever read.

It was thought provoking and there were many precious things in it.

For instance, to focus have great power.

It took two months to read.

I looked up words in dictionary so frequently.

My kindle is installed English-Japanese dictionary. 
It is very useful.
I can know the mean of the words If I put cursor in front of them.

If I used an electric dictionary, it would have had more time to read it.

I have never think to use usual paper dictionary, it would have taken much time.

Moreover, the price of kindle version is 11.99 dollars.

If you buy the printed book in Amazon jp, It costs 4290 yen (51 dollars).

The translated version of Japanese is 3990 yen (48 dollars).

I don't know why the translated version is cheaper than original one.

What books do you recommend?
