Our lab has participated in 

a view from my hotel room in Hong Kong




friends took me to a restaurant where Wong Kar-Wai shot 
all time my favorite 'in the mood for love'


all the buildings there were so dense and clustered that
the lights coming out from the rooms become a beautiful illumination of the city




forgot to take a photo of Hong Kong style tea
it was one of the best tea I have ever had!

a day trip to Zushi near Kamakura 
each time we go to Kamakura

 simple but the best way of spending my weekends

five start cafe nakameguro


I had such a lovely weekend with rieko
The weather was perfect for walking around the river side in Nakameguro.
We found many little shops behind the high street of Daikanyama as well.

Meguro area have got a very different atmosphere from where I live.
Things are more sophisticated there in a sense but it is also just like any other cities.
Though, it's always nice to have a girly time with old friends in a little hip area like that.

books and films

made a milk kanten 
for a tea break of my lesson






I got all these brilliant recipe books 
from a card board box 
outside of my neighbor's house
saying "please take them for free"
once, I saw they put used socks in it...

it's so common in this area to do that
sometimes, wasted wooden bars
sometimes, citrus from their gardens
sometimes, old stationaries... 
I'm excited about what's coming next!

watched a film by Yuzo Kawashima again
entitled "shitoyakana kedamamono"
"elegant beast" in English
entire scenes take place in a small apartment 
beautiful camera compositions and a surreal story
one of the best films I have seen in last few years :)


went to a jazz dance party
organized by naruyoshi kikuchi
lindy hop is wild!!
