Last Sunday in August

Still hot in Tokyo....really hot this summer,  there is no sign autumn is coming.

I enjoyed this weekend, first, I went to see a dentist(oh no...),  second, went to see an angel therapist(oh yes!) and then went to my favorite Ginza.

On Sunday my brother made lunch, iced lemon tea(fantastic!) and garlic buttered toasts while I went to buy sushi for dinner.

summer, summer, summer!

Lunch In Odaiba

It was Friday. Since I got to work on Sunday, I had a day-off on Friday.
So, what should I do to make that day more lovely?

I decided to go to Odaiba for special lunch with my friend!

Odaiba is a small island on Tokyo Bay, it takes only 15 minutes by Yurikamome(monorail:Shimbashi to/from Toyosu). Yurikamome is one of my favorite transport in Tokyo. Feel like "walking on the sea",  I can enjoy exciting view from window! There are unique buildings in this area, such as Fuji TV Building, Telecom Center, National Museum of Emerging Science and so on. At evening, a night view from Odaiba is really beautiful.

You have 2 hotel choices in Odaiba, Grand Pacific Le Daiba or Hotel Nikko Tokyo.
Both of them make sure for your special occasion.

Ready For Travel!

Vacance on November.  I got to work during this really hot and humid week while most of people had summer holidays "Obon"... a Buddhist festival to recognize ancestor's or family's who had passed away spirits.

But I am still happy. Because I have time to imagine how to make my trip more wonderful and to prepare for it.

On Saturday last week I went to Ginza to survey a new suitcase and other travel goods. My favorite, MUJI Yurakucho is always good choice for me. 3 minutes walk from JR Yurakucho station or 7 minutes from Subway Ginza station, MUJI offer simple and good design clothes, stationery, furniture, kitchen goods, groceries, cosmetics, travel items, and much more!

muji yurakucho, really easy to access.
why I love muji? because they offer my favorite colours,
black, gray and brown for all of their products.

And don't miss Cafe MUJI.

ginger ale and custard pudding.
these are amazing!

3rd floor is for interior and furnitures.
I love to watch these silver stainless storage boxes from cafe.

cafe muji is a self-service cafeteria.

For reference, I also went to RIMOWA Ginza, they offered summer's limited colour, white!
So cute, so nice...

about 3 minutes from muji.

I headed to Ginza station and met many people stopped ant take photos  LOUS VUITTON's show window!

Well, my plan is..
I will order via internet, MUJI's gray hard carry case before sold out, or I might buy it tomorrow after work!

While Watching Olympic Games

I have enjoyed watching Olympic games for 2 weeks! It's so amazing!
But the problem is, I also have been really busy at work, and I needed to watch olympic games at every midnight.

Well, for me, the most impressive game was female football final. The game between JAPAN and USA.

I just want to say thank you to all players, not only Japan team, but also USA team. Because it was amazingly clean game! The game less foul. They did their best. Good game. Even I hoped our Japan team.. Nadeshiko Japan would win.

I feel power if people do something they love. They don't care they will get something or loose, because they just do what they love. It's so simple. Because of it, even if they loose something, they never regret it or blame someone.

Since it's really fun if people do something they love.

You know, sometimes people do what they don't love in social life, because it's needed. So do I.

But my angel told me,

"Life is too short, Lia. You should do what you really love."

I think that's in their hearts, beautiful and brave girls at football game of final.
