Music Everyone Should Have On Their Ipod

Onsen and thoughts of spring.


After a pleasant trip on the Romance Car , including a beautiful landscape with sakura in full bloom on either side of the tracks, and I do not small Yuka-chan we expected to arrive Hakone the landscape was even more beautiful. From
terminus Hakone Yumoto we literally climbed mountains on board the Hakone Tozan line for a breathtaking journey of about half an hour.


Yukina has skipped all the car indicate continuously cherry branches, or recklessly and colorful birds flying on the track, and making a leg with hello hello to all employees of the railway as we passed greeted with a slight nod.

all'Onsen The welcome was warm as usual but discrete, now giving us the opportunity to relax with a good hot tea.


To then fly very wonderful and very warm in rotenburo pine, a large outdoor pool located and surrounded by flowering trees, reserved for the exclusive use for about 40 minutes.


In Japan all'onsen go means allowing a brief but intense moment of peace, surrounded by nature and pampered by the hot thermal waters, which have the power to really lose out again. Not to forget the excellent cuisine, full of seasonal foods and processes closely related to the particular place where there is always plenty of that at breakfast and dinner.


Yuka-chan likes to swim in the morning, when daylight is still tenuous and the room dell'onsen is all for her. The flowing water plentiful, the delicate flowers of rock that float, hot air that circulates inside cleaned by the heaviness of the city.

The ideal place to recharge in and out, a brief but intense re-examined with renewed energy to break the daily life, often full of unpleasant events from which many prefer to stay away.

Sometimes I Yuka-chan, and we look crept in and burst out laughing, thinking of how it has changed our lives over the past two years.
We come together in Japan, a country that sometimes we feel so left out sometimes, but so incredibly familiar. Is it because between our two islands actually live an incredible bond, because of gusts of salt and habits ingrained over the centuries. Maybe because we often hear foreigners in their own home.

thank our loyal readers and we will continue to read with renewed interest who tells us of Japan through their eyes, which are those of the tourists love or stressed salary man or with those who share a dream still hope be implemented. Or those who, like us, Japan is living in daily life, stripped of illusions, and perhaps in its most raw, but always happy to share with the world their findings on this small country so intricate and fascinating at the same time.

For the moment, and I'll leave you little Yuka-chan, but sweet:)

PS. This blog is back to normal and usual serenity, pace some of those who wanted the message was finally received.

Fake High School Community Hours

Yuka-chan and her first Hanami. The theorem sardonipponica

seems that the month of March is the best time swarming with removals, transfers and start-up year, because everything starts from April and a new look at the season of rebirth.

And speaking of the Resurrection, with the small Yuka-chan took advantage of the Easter Sunday for a leisurely picnic under the cherry blossoms in the company of two beautiful kittens ... human, that have made us the unforgettable day:)

hanami in Japan do is the second national sport, after baseball ... : D Seriously, though the 'hanami describes simply the act of admiring cherry blossoms, is a good opportunity to get together with friends and loved ones to spend a day outdoors. Maybe walking in silence under an endless pink cloud and being caressed by the rays of the sun in style Kyotese , or eating, drinking and singing literally camped under the trees as it happens in the biggest parks in Tokyo.
Two completely different styles but popular, to "make spring."


We have adapted to local customs in which we live and fitted with a large supply of delicious take-out we went into the majestic Shinjuku Gyoen , leaving rocked by thousands of pink balls of light-hearted chatter and laughter.

the wind a little crisp and the voices around me back to certain Sundays in the spring in my native island, where regardless of the uncertain weather we finally met at the beach to stay outdoors. But instead of the nasty sand was all a flight of rose petals, which rested on our naughty delicacies.


And finally here's a nice reminder that my kitten photo dedication to all his beloved fans around the world.
