Lunch at Yotsuya Ippindo

While waiting for my friend to show up, I witnessed no line at WAKABA in front! Before anybody gets in, I purchased their TAIYAKI (fish cake). But I'm here for Taiwanese pepper buns, and I added soy soup and a peanut cake. The tables were all taken, people came by on a regular basis. Yum! Will be back again!

四谷一餅堂でランチ。お友達を待っていると、目の前のわかばさんの行列が無いではありませんか！すかさずたい焼き購入です。でも今日の本題は胡椒餅。鹹豆漿（シェントウジャン）がまだあったので、花生餅（ピーナッツ饅頭）も一緒に注文。やっぱりザーサイはみじん切りが良いね。店内満席、人もそれなりに来ています。ご馳走様でした。また来ます！

Cherry blossom sighting at Aoyama Cemetery

Walking around Aoyama Cemetery. It's surreal that cherry blossoms are falling and covering graveyards, and its beauty, ephemeral, tranquility, everything I don't have enough words to express.

Bus rider back home

Overheard a conversation between two senior ladies on the bus way back to home from work. One lady said she was worried about her daughter not getting married. "I was worried about her going out when she was young, and was careful not to let her go on date with some boys, but now I regret what I did. If she had more chances of meeting, she would've been married by now." The other lady was telling her that she was embarrassed by her daughter married to a man not from the good family. "Children of my brothers and cousins all married to the people from the good family. My daughter is the only one not married to such a good family. Even my husband's end relatives also married to decent family. I'm so embarrassed." The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. One is not happy about her daughter being single. One is not happy that her daughter doesn't belong to decent family that she can claim to her relatives. Probably both of them were trying to ...
