A day with Frank Lloyd Wright in Ashiya, Kobe

Found this gorgeous house in Ashiya by chance

Never imagined to experience his world so close to my house

My recent hobby is walking to Ashiya from my house. It takes about an hour to get there.

Surrounded by Mt. Rokko and big blue sky, it's super nice to walk walk walk...

I discovered many nice little shops there. One of my favorites shop is Check & Stripe

They open their cafe every weekends and lots of inspiring books are selected and collected on the shelf. 

I'm thinking to go there every weekend to have this strawberry parfait. :)

The season of camellia has come. My grand father was taking care of his camellia for a long time. I might inherited his taste in flower... Camellia is one of my favorites flower for sure. It brings a hint of spring every year :)

Time flies... I went to Awaji island last weekend. I drove pass there many times before, but never actually been there properly, so I was quite excited to explore the island this time. I heard that many eco-concious people are thinking to move there, because of the location that is slightly far from nuclear reactors and its richness in natural resources. I found the price level there is perfect. Wild fish and local vegitables were all fresh and super reasonable. 

There is a nice hot spring by the Great Seto Bridge. I saw the evening sun lighting up the bridge turing the color of it into pink from the hot tub outside. I wish that I could take a picture from there. 

It's been a while since I wrote my blog last time... I can't believe that 2012 is almost over.
This year wasn't an easy year for me but I have learned and realized so many important things for my life. Anyway, it's nothing is better than sharing tasty food, wine and creative moments with great people!
