Welcome to Sonokotchi World
It’s Emperor’s Coronation Ceremony Day.
I watched the ceremony on TV.
It’s very Japanese and it’s rare to witness it.
The dress is based on Heian Era (Year 794) which is 1,225.
I’m glad to see Empress Masako is doing fine.
She looks beautiful in Junihitoe (Japanese traditional dress in 12 layers) and confident.
Last night, we went out for a dinner after the meeting.
We didn’t have any restaurant in particular so we started walking to a busy street.
On the way, he spotted a restaurant.
I couldn’t imagine how the restaurant is because the restaurant is located in the basement so I could not see from the street.
When I entered, I was surprised.
It was still early, before 6, but the restaurant was already occupied.
The restaurant name is Tsukiji no Sakanaya meaning Tsukiji Fish Shop.
The restaurant is operated by a seafood wholesale company that even supplies to department stores.
All dishes are so nice, not only seafood but also vegetables.
I didn’t take any photos of food because it was my first time dining with them; however, I can assure that food is nice.
I even enjoyed talking to them.
Both of them are so cheerful.
One shared he had a surgery by Davinci (Hi-Tech operation machine) recently.
He gets after affect, but he is willing to cope with it by making it as a joke.
Another, he also had a surgery in the past.
Both of them laugh about it and live with it.
I witnessed the effectiveness of laughing.
They continued the life is once. We will live. If we are going to live, better have fun.
Wow they were like two characters from the Bucket List that I just watched on Sunday.
I’m glad I joined a dinner.
I together laughed with them.
Recently, I was recommended to practice mindfulness.
I have been knowing about this but I was not interested to learn about it.
Today, yes, I do feel weak and I’m interested in mindfulness.
In a way, I consider writing the blog is my way of mindfulness.
Originally, I started to blog to improve my English writing skill and to find one thing that makes me happy,, inspiring, thinking, etc. in a day.
This is the moment to think back of my day.
I usually love to watch an action movies.
Today, I watched “the Bucket List”.
I have more years to live (hopefully)…. however, I don’t need to wait till last moment to try things.
Perhaps, I can list down my bucket list.
These can be simple things such as laugh hard till I cry like mentioned in a movie.
My spa session started at noon.
And there was a set of light meal waiting for me.
It’s was delicious and thoughtful.
My heart was touched and my body felt lighter after spa.

Typhoon 19 hit Tokyo area on 12 October 2019 at 9 pm.
This typhoon damaged a wide area by causing floods, black outs, etc.
Public transportation operators such as train (JR), metro, flights, etc announced to suspend its operation and store also announced its closure on 12 October 2019 in advance.
This is a new exercise in Japan to avoid creating unnecessary weather refugees.
There are many people affected by this large scaled typhoon.
I hope they can get their normal life back soon.
I visited Cartier’s exhibition that can meet with artisans and their works at 21_21, Tokyo Midtown Roppongi.
I would recommend to stop by if you are in the area.
It’s free to check artisans work.
My friend gave me a half sized red wine.
It’s red wine so I kept it at room temperature during summer.
A room can be hot during daytime with sun.
I kept the bottle in shade but it was damaged.
I don’t want to waste it so I made sangria with orange, lime and blueberries.
I enjoyed it and will try it again.
