Hippo

hippo_small.jpg I went to Hippo! I don’t mean that I went to the zoo!

Hippo is one of the chain restaurants in Paris. You can see them often. And around Lunch time and Dinner time there is a long queue front of the restaurant.

I’ve been in Paris many times but I hadn’t been there…Today finally I went to there for dinner.

I wanted to have a chicken but they didn’t have (On the menu there are chicken plates)

So I ordered mixed plate. The taste is…chain restaurant’s taste.

I think one time is enough but it was a good chance to see the common chain restaurant in Paris!

This time is…

This hotel is more like apartment rather than a normal hotel. The room with the kitchen is very useful! In such a good condition, still the accommodation charges is very reasonable!

This visit is also due to Stefan’s job. So I’m completely free during the day, how should I spend time?

Baby

The size is the same as my little finger!!

Happy (^o^)

Bath time

bathmilk_small.jpg I always read a book while soaking in the bath. This is one of my favorite time.

For me “bath milk or oil” is essential for a bath. But I have difficulty finding them in Switzerland. Because here (I think except Japanese people) people don’t soak in a bath so often. I think for that reason there are very small choices of bath milk.

Last month finally I found a good product which suits me. The product is from Weleda. In the trial kit, there were 6 different type of bath milk. So you try them and can find your favorite one. Rose and Lavender are my favorite!!!

Mmm… but still Japanese bath powder which is called “Nihon no me-yu” from Tumura company is the best for me.

And I’m sure it stays my No 1forever!!

Recommendation

holland_small.jpg holland-2_small.jpg If you really love flowers, I strongly recommend “keukenhof” in Holland to visit!!!

I’ve been there more than 5 times but still I desire to visit there again.

I can and many people who visited there say all together “Keukenhof is the most beautiful flower park in the world”. It is not too much to say that “Keukenhof” is fantastic, amazing and brilliant!!!!

Everywhere is flower and flower. And one of the best things is good color combination. I feel the Dutch’s talent for flowers and colors.

Not only “keukenhof park” but also other places are beautiful. If you are lucky ( I mean if you visit there just the right time) you can see fields which are coverd with flowers!!

Flower curpet \(^o^)/
