Milonga

Milonga is a place where people dance Tango. I've been doing Yoga and Belly dancing so far and never had the idea of trying social dancing.
Why? I don't know but those two are more spiritual stuff to me.
I do Yoga & belly dance to maintain a balance of mind and body so that I can maximize possibilities. I become more peaceful and tolerant by doing them and it can bring back all good results to me.



I went to this Milonga, it was because I was just curious what other people were doing on Friday nights.
I was drinking a glass of wine and watching people dancing Tango.

To make me surprised, there were about 30 people (They said it was small attendance compare to usual Friday nights as it seemed people attended their company events.) and the ratio of men and women is half and half.
I thought it could be more female world.
My friend says that when it comes to dancing woman has more choices than man such as belly dancing, and it is more popular than social dancing. But man doesn't have much choices.

I see.

-Japanese-

ミロンガとは人が集まってタンゴを踊るサロンの事だそうです。私も行った事なくて会社の同僚が出入りしているのにまぎれて初挑戦。と言うよりダンスを踊るのが目的ではなく、ただ他の人達がどんな金曜日の夜を過ごしているのが興味があったのです。

ヨガとベリーダンスをしばらくしているのですが、社交ダンスを習う気と言うのは0でした。
何故なら、よく分からないけれど、その二つは私にとって精神的な存在で、体と心のバランスを保つためにやっているからです。
私の可能性を最大限にするために、精神を平和に保ち、寛容になれるよう、そうする事により、自分に良い結果をもたらす事ができるから。

私はそのサロンでワインを飲みながら人々がタンゴを踊る様子を観察してました。
30人くらい人がいたのですが(世間一般は歓送迎会でいつもより参加者が少ないとの事でした。)

驚いたことに、
男女比は半々でした。
私はもっと女性が多いのかと思っていたけれど。

同僚が言うには女性はダンスと言ったら、いろんな選択肢があるけれど、男性にはあまりないから、とのこと。

なるほど。

Hiking @ Mt. Fuji

Pictures of Mt. Fuji where one of spiritual places in Japan. You can drive to halfway up the mountain. It's about two hours hiking course from there. Many people like to try climbing up Mt. Fuji. It's a popular way that people spend a night at a co ttage and start around 2am to see sun rise at the top, however I have never tried it. R einforcement work is under way as mountain slope is sliding down. I didn't make any effort, instead I just felt autumn there. It was a clear day after rainy days that took off orange osmanthus petals. Fujisan with rainbow Rain cleanses us and brings next season.

Edo Sushi Sasaki

Sushi Sasaki @ Ginza People in Edo started to have Sushi and a restaurant started using fresh fish. 'Edo' means old Tokyo during from the 17th to 19th centuries where used to be a city of Samurai, and Osaka is for merchant at the time. Uni (Sea urchin) And NOW, Sushi chef in Osaka cut up a fish from stomach but chef in Tokyo do it from back. Because Harakiri (commit ritual suicide by disembowelment) is avoidable for Samurai, and Hara wo waru ('Breaking stomach' means heart to heart talk) is high end spirit for merchant. That's what the chef at Sasaki talked ^^. Sake Ebi (Prawn) Toro (Fatty Tuna) Anago (Conger) Uni (Sea urchin)

Folding Keyboard Ryudo

Today is Aquarius new moon. Write down 10 wishes on the paper or note. Handwriting is key. This is folding keyboard, the maker is Ryudo. I was interested, but hadn't had long years. Because I have laptop. But we don't bring computers daily, do we? So I started to think, if I had that, I might write more often... Before buying it, I investigated which keyboard was the best as there were so many kinds. First of all, It has to be light, otherwise, it will stay at home. And thought of the place where I mostly would use... it would be on a train, not a cafe as I commute long hours every day. So it has to be small and quiet.  I don't want to bother others. If I use a keyboard on my bag when I seat, my iPhone needs to place to stand, Ryudo is compact, ideal typing and has a stand. It's not very strong but enough to hold my iPhone 7 plus. One thing I cared was that Ryudo was battery powered not chargeable. So I looked over all ot...
