Outside Morning Coffee
One thing I really enjoy in summer is having a cup of coffee on our back porch. There is nothing exciting, but being surrounded by all green trees and listing to birds' singing gives me a special moment. It is so quiet. I dreamed of those kinds of things when I lived in a tiny apartment in Tokyo. Of course I had no back porch during that time. I appreciate how lucky I am. This weekend is going to be sunny and beautiful. So Ronnie-kun, can we have Mr. Coffee outside?
Cut Salon Ban
The day before Ronnie was to meet my parents for the very first time, he got a hair cut at Cut Salon Ban in Shibuya, Tokyo. He usually gets an $8 hair cut at our neighborhood Vietnamese salon, however, this time, he got the 4,200 yen full set which included a shave and a shoulder massage. Ronnie liked the hair cut he got from Tsutomu, the barber. Ronnie was especially impressed with Tsutomu's single-blade-straight-razor-technique and his shaving cream vending machine. He fell asleep in the middle of the shave, though. Thank you Tsutomu, you did a great job! We want to come back next time when we go to Japan.
