A day in Yamagama

This is one of my favourite places in Sendai.
It's "cafe decontracte".

Today I went there with a friend,and had a really nice coffee with a piece of cheese cake.My friend had just came back from her holiday in Thailand,and I listened to all the story what she had experienced.It was a good evening.

(a bit of )my favourite films are..

-The Night of the Hunter (1955)- it's a very scary film,but the story is a bit like fantasy and religious.


-Fahrenheit　451(1966)- it's an unbelievable society that books are banned in this film.
the film made me think a lot,but also it was interesting to see how Francois Truffaut had imagined the further future 40 years ago.


-The Man without a past(2003)-made by Aki Kaurismaki,a famous finnish director.the story goes on slowly and quietly.the people don't talk much in the film,but some of the scenes are very fuuny,not obvious though.　


-Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory(1971)- My all time favourite. weired,but fantastic.

-Ghost world(2001)/Trees Lounge(1996)- I like Steve Buscemi!!!!

looking over the river Hirose.Everything is bright and looks beautiful with sunshine.It was too hot to walk round though.


Today I went to Cafe Enishi for the first time with a friend and we had Mango Lassy,that was delicious!!! We had a chat with the owner of the cafe,and enjoyed it very much. The cafe is combined with an antique faniture shop,which is also interesting ,too.

Have you ever seen this vegetable before?
This is one of my favourite summer vegetables,called Goya! It tastes as bitter as medicine,but much more delicious.

Tanabata festival in Sendai

Sendai Tanabata Festival has started,and it's been very very hot this weekend! As I have worked this Saturday,I only went to see the festival with a friend in the evening.There are a lot of beautiful Tanabata ornaments on the streets,which are made by papers.But also there are so many people everywhere,we could hardly move!! We escaped from the crowds,and saw some people were playing Jazz music at a small space near the railway station.We stopped there for a while,and enjoyed beers & music.
