When the movie title is changed into other language, it seems to be different

He is our guest from Holland.
His T-shirt is cool,isn't it?
Do you know what T-shirt is?
There is movie title in Chinese.
Can you guess the movie title "星球大戦"?
Well, it is "Star Wars".
When i saw it, i can't guess.
We have Chinese character in Japanese. But it is hard to guess.
Sometimes when the movie title is changed into other language, it seems to be very different.
Anyway, i like his T-shirt.
When i see the cool T-shirt, i want to feel buying one.

Santa Cruz Bolivia

I waited long time for the my flight. It was about 4,5 hours. My flight was delay. After taking off. I spent only 30 min for the arriving.

If I took the bus. It took more than 12 hours. So I choosed airplane. In Sant Cruz, this is so hot. It's about 30℃. It was a so cold in any other city that I went. Because this city is located around equator. And this is in low place. I moved to central by bus. About 30 min. I often saw church. But I was excited when I saw the light up church.

 In my hostel, there is funny bird.

It always became the innocent face. This is very rare for me. So I took many photos. Then I sit the chair to the confirm. At that time I sit on the lost things by bird. My pant was became dirty. I hated the bird at this time. I was going back to North America. Next is NY!

Sucre Bolivia

Do you know the Sucre? This isn't famous for foreigner. But this city is capital city of Bolivia by constitution. Actually, capital function was moved to La Paz. I went to Sucre. From Potosi it takes 4,5 hour by bus. I took this. In the bus, I had Stomachache. Maybe it was caused by lunch. I hoped to get off. But I couldn't. So I endured by  pinching the thighs. Then bus was arrived sucre. I found the hostel. After check in I slept . Next day I went around central. I found Japanese bus.

 This is fitness clubs one. After working in Japan, this bus has worked in here. Yesterday I haven't eat since last night. So take the lunch. I guess I had stomachache by eggs. This day I ate lunch plate without eggs.

There are some dish like this in Peru and Bolivia. At night I saw the lightup church.

 I spent much time for taking break. Few days later... I moved to the Santa Cruz. This is final destination in Bolivia and South America. I left the Sucre by airplane.

This is Sucre airport. Building is  as large as Community center. And there isn't restaurant. This is not confortable. But I like this. Because I can't see airport like this in Japan. I was excited.

Global artist has been enjoying in Japan

She is our guest from Wales.
She is an artist and belongs to The Llanarth Group(England).
She came to Japan to have a workshop with Japanese theatrical company "Gekidan AMI".
The Llanarth Group is an association of theater artists dedicated to producing international theater of the highest quality through in-depth psycho-physical training of actors from all cultures.
She explained me about what she does, but what i only understood was she does contemporary dance. I have to study about theater artists more.......

Well, after she finished workshop in Tokyo, she traveled around Japan and she was impressed by Japanese artists and constructions such as temple, Japanese garden.
I think she will bring the impressed things back to her group and put them to good account.
If i have a chance to go to England, i would like to see her performance.

Potosi Bolivia

I got to the Potosi for the mine sightseeing. On the way to Potosi.

 I saw this sign. Be careful for Alpaca. I thought there is no Alpaca. But I saw some wild Alpaca then. In Potosi, I joined the mine tour.

 Mine is in 4000m place. It's so high. And I enter the mine. It will be more cold. This is the entrance. I was worried about this mine. Because there are some water on the ground. And there is no light. I walk to the dead end. But this way was so long. It spent about 1 hour for the walking. At last I saw the worker.

 They were working for finding the silver. By the way you can buy the right for dig. Then I saw the festival.

 It's a dancing one. This day, everybody dance whenever. At first in my trip, I didn't want to come here. But I recommend all of my friends here.

Sweet Taste of Autumn

This is a present from our Japanese guest.
The wrapping paper says "Nakamura-Ken(中村軒)".
Nakamura-Ken is a Japanese confectioner in Kyoto.


The inside is...

Daifuku!!


Daifuku is a Japanese confection consisting of a small round glutinous rice cake stuffed with anko.
(Anko is sweetened red bean paste made from azuki beans.)


These daifukus are not ordinary ones.
They have ginkgo nuts inside as well as anko.


Autumn is the best season for ginkgo nuts.
In Japan we use ginkgo nuts for Japanese cuisines, but usually we do not use them for sweet stuffs.
However in those daifukus ginkgo beans match anko very well.
The taste is unique in a good way.


We enjoyed special autumn sweets.
