伊豆 雲見温泉 "Kumomi-Onsen" in Izu peninsula

5月13日、会社を休んで伊豆の雲見温泉へ行って来ました。
宿泊先は民宿　富久三苑。
何せ値段が安いのに料理が素晴らしいとの評判の宿でした。
1泊2食でナント！6,500円。行ったのが金曜日だったので
宿泊客は俺達2人だけ。露店風呂も時間単位で貸し切りに
出来ます。
で、肝心の料理は評判通りメチャククチャ美味かった～。
絶対にまた行きたい！

On 13^th May, we took day off and went to “Kumomi-Onsen” hot spring in Izu peninsula.

We stayed at tourist home “Fukimi-en”

The tourist home has very good reputation of dinner with cheap accommodation fee.

You know the price? It is only JPY6,500 for 1 night and 2 meal, dinner and breakfast.

We went to there on Friday so guest was only us, 2 people.

We can reserve outside bath “Roten-buro” when we take it.

Then we really satisfy the meal and it was better than we expected.

We really want to go there again!

子供の日 Children's day

5月5日は子供の日。
写真の様な鯉のぼりをあちこちで見かけますな。
まぁ～、普通多くても5～6匹。

Today, 5^th May, is children’s day in Japan.

If you were in Japan, you may find “Koi-nobori” like a picture at many places.

“Koi-nobori” is Japanese traditional decoration for children’s day like a Christmas tree.

”Koi” meaning is carp. “Nobori” meaning is climbing.
I don't know exact meaning of it but I think "Koi-nobori" is parents' wish of children growing up healthily.

And normally the Koi-nobori even a lot, it is 5 or 6 carps at one place as a picture.

ところが！
大阪の場合こんな感じの鯉のぼりとなるみたいです。
多過ぎやろっ！
1,000匹以上は間違いなくおったわ！

But in Osaka, I’ve found the situation as below picture.

It is too much!

Osaka people really love fancy things.
I could find over thousand of carps in this place.

台湾桃園国際空港 Taiwan Taoyuan international airport

台北には松山空港(国内線)と桃園空港(国際線)の2空港が有り、
今回は桃園空港を利用。
搭乗口が面白かったので動画撮影して来ました。
In Taipei, there are 2 airports, “Taipei Songshan airport” for domestic and “Taoyuan airport” for international and this time, I’ve used “Taoyuan airport”.
The time, I found very funny boarding gates so I've taken them.

台湾夜店 Night stand in Taiwan

仕事終了後に夜店に連れて行ってもらいました。
その際の動画をアップします。雰囲気を楽しんで下さい。

After finishing job, I have been taken to night stand.

I updated the movie so enjoy and feel night stand mood.

上海浦東国際空港 Shanghai Pudong International Airport

今回の出張は台湾から中国へ渡る少々ハードなスケジュール。
上海浦東空港は中国で最も大きな空港で、日本は勿論世界各地と
繋がっています。
海外出張と聞くとスーツでバッチリ決めて世界を飛び回るビジネスマンと
いうイメージが有ると思いますが、私の場合は完全にジーンズにジャージ
若しくは作業着といった服装。行く所も大概田舎町です。
そりゃ木材の検品がメイン業務ですからね。皆さんが思っている程
良い思いはしてません。

This time’s business trip abroad was little hard schedule because I had to go 2 countries, China and Taiwan.

Shanghai Pudong airport is the biggest airport in China.

It is, of cause, connecting to Japan and also connecting lots of country in the world.

When people hear the words “business trip abroad”, I think most of people will have imagination; I wear suit and looks like I’m great business man who goes to all over the world, right?

But in my case, it is not. I’m always wearing jeans and jersey or work clothes.

You know what kind of place I’m going? Every time I’m going very country side city or town.

My main job at foreign country is lumber inspection for music instruments, right?

So I’m not great business man like you expecting and the business trip is not so good thing for me.

ホテルの朝食 Hotel Breakfast in Taiwan

出張中の楽しみと言えば仕事後のちょこっと観光だけど、
その他にもホテルの朝食ってのは楽しみの1つだよね。
特にアジアのホテルは何処に行っても大概バイキング形式で
食べ放題。その国の料理が、たらふく堪能出来ます。
写真は台湾のホテルでの朝食です。朝から食べ過ぎ？

You know, going somewhere a little after job is my enjoyment during business trip.

And the other, breakfast in hotel is also one of my pleasures.

Especially almost every Asian hotel’s breakfast is buffet style so I can eat as much as I want.

I can enjoy the country’s food a lot.

The picture is the hotel breakfast in Taiwan.

Is it too much for breakfast?
