Cucumbers from garden

What is your main diet? What do you think is main diet of Japanese people?Rice? No. Bread? No.The right answer is cucumber.At present we eat lots of cucumbers from garden.Rather than we love to eat we have to eat.Cucumbers seem to have  taken over the position of main diet, only for a couple of months in summer. I sow seeds twice this year as the first one did not appear soon. And my neighbour said to me if our main diet is cucumber and as my neighbour said we face the reality. Over 100 British size cucumbers we harvested.

Director of German national soccer team

is called Germans Masao Kusakari in Japan. As being said he looks like him maybe so. As being said he does not look like him it is all right.

Just before the World Cup started I bet German national team will be champion. I was very positive ‘cause they seem to have stronger will for winning and also I felt they are united for one purpose than any other team. They were shining bright and my sincere congratulations on their contenious endevour to keep motivation. It was matches between the countries and I thoroughly enjoyed them.
Thank you!!!

I found red rhubarb I was looking for quite some time. I found them at Wadajuku which is located at the border of Nagano and Yamanashi pref.Last year I saw red rhubarb on TV and knew where they grow them. I contacted Fujimi machi in Nagano  but they are a bit more expensive. Now, I see red rhubarb in front of me. Incredible thing. I bought some for trial and then bought 4 kilos of them. They look american cherry pink pink and so good to taste!!!

At Kyoto station a beverage company was distributing sample tea bottle, so everyone around station had SAME TEA BOTTLE of “O-I OCHA”. Interesting!

Kyoto Tower and Kyoto station reflecting Kyoto Tower. It’s quite sometime since a jungle gym Kyoto station was built.However, it has partially deteriorated and new design at the time of construction looks to me now a hamster’s nest or homeless people’s patched house. (sorry)

I found a new thing at Kyoto station; A vending machine for one-day bus ticket. They sell one-day bus ticket in a office in front of Kyoto station. However, often you must be in a queue to get them. Vending machine is a real good thing for whoever visit Kyoto.

Price for one-day ticket for Kyoto bus is 500 Yen.
