Which better combination could i expect? Your choice of colors is very much appreciated. Thank you, A! Especially for all the travelling experience these objects have now. And thank C for the delivery… But i have no idea how/when i could wear it. Perhaps at the next home dinner, like my blue vuokko dress?

clear sky. the autumn/winter sky is really ‘high’: that’s the korean

expression, and i cant find a better word to describe it.

army of freshly made kimchi

i hope it turns out edible… lots of missing ingredients. the

japanese versions of jut-gal (‘shiokara no zuke’ in japanese, a kind

of fish sauce) i could find in my neighborhood was so different from

korean ones, so i ended up skipping it completely.

its probably the most beautiful flower i ever saw. pity that i have

never seen it before last sunday. the packaging of the flower is

really charming as well (note the color coordination of the green

leaves with colored trim). thank you so much, J!

garbage collection

There are different days of the week to collect certain types of garbage. In big apartment building, its taken care by the janitor (hew.. So that i dont have to remember all those days). For collection, the janitor seems to take the whole container out like this.

Another thought- so many red prints! I wonder if these signs are off-the-shelf.

ippodo tea

while i liked the package of a different kind of green tea, this was

supposed to be the very fine tea from this company ‘ippodo’. from a

nice 20-minute souvenir shopping in the train station in kyoto.
