starbucks in nissen building

i recommend starbucks in nissen building near shinosaka station, near my house.

firstly, starbucks' coffees are the best. they taste the best. they smell the best. they look the best.
secondly, the shop staffs are very nice there. they often offer you new products to taste for free.
and most importantly, its very quiet since its inside a business building.

i recommend you to have catching up with your friends or study there!!

thailand

i went to Thailand for volunteering (study camp) for 2 weeks in December.

before the camp started, i stayed in my friend's house in Bangkok. it was the biggest private house i had ever been. it had 5 stories and there were two female servants!!
she took me to the temple one day, and told me many people sit and pray around the budhha for a few days,not worrying about raining or eating. it was very surprising how faithful they were.

i lived with 4 orphan boys with a caregiver who treated the boys as her own children during my volunteering. there i learned how giving they are in spite of the fact they arent rich at all. whenever they got food, they went to their neighbours and shared the food. the boys at the age of 5 to 10, already had learned to be giving from the adults. When we played the game together and if i was losing on points, they always secretly gave me some points till my point is higher than theirs.

wonderful culture!

the hometown of Momotaro-

i love my hometown, okayama.

not many people know where it is located, sadly...
yes, okayama is a quite small town and is considered to be a local city.

however, okayama is a nice place to live in.
known as sunny-okayama, it usually has sunny day everyday.
it doesn't get many earthquakes.
the transportation systems are good enough to commute.

Okayama is also known as the hometwon of Momotaro-.
there are a few prefectures declaring that he is from their hometown, but i really believe that he is from Okayama!!
