Vendredi 4 septembre 2009; Trois minutes

I am shocked to be served this dish only in three minutes after the order at a Chinese restaurant in the Tokyo station. The taste is good. The price is reasonable as I should understand the restaurant must pay the heavy rent for the Japanese Railroad company. The secret of three minutes cooking must be using a powerful micro wave oven.

This bridge for water service and telephone company is too simple. They should add the decoration on it.

０がいっぱい six zeros

Owing to the many zeros, I can't understand soon how much it is.
After the first surprise I say to myself, "It's only one and a half million."
I've never treat such a lot of money, of course.
Usually Japanese write and read the price with Chinese letters.
The price is written as ;１億４千３百万円. We are accustomed to the amount of money in advertisements of real estate agents. Ordinary Japanese would not be accustomed to the eight figures amount of money. I am not accustomed to more than seven figures amount of money.

Sanno is a good town for walking of cats. There are lots of points favorable for cats of being lying and taking naps. Chasing game of cats are often seen on the road.
So the owner of the liquor shop stands the sign, "Caution to Running Cats."

Taking a picture of a sign for cat's safety, the cat of the liquor shop appears. It stops at the rim of the road to confirm the safety. I sit down in the middle of the lane to shoot it and a horn sounds behind me to make me jump up to the side of the way. Does anyone stand the sign for the caution of cat photographer.
