八丁目の道 Hatchome St.

これは何の駄洒落だ・・・。
This is difficult to explain.... But it looks like the letter "Michi" or "street", in Japanese....

お冷 <２> Iced Water

つけ麺に「熱タレ」ってあるの知ってたら頼んでたよ…。　麺が冷たいのは普通のことなのかな？　熱～いタレに少し冷ための太麺は、インパクトがあってよさそうだね「葵さん」。　次は卵入りにしよっと。
水はただの水道水だな…。
"TSUKE MEN", one style of Japanese noodle was something new to me. It is like a "ZARU-SOBA" - a traditional Japanese soba noodles - you dip noodle into a soup, or "TA-LE". If I knew the "TA-LE" could be warmer, I originally ordered that! Dipping rather cold and thick noodle into warm "TA-LE" would be something enjoyable. Next time, I will order "TSUKE MEN" with egg "Aoi-San".
Water from the tap is not so attractive....

お冷 <１> Iced Water

日暮里駅周辺に竹の子三本。うち一本に出来たラーメン屋。正確には近くから越してきた。もっと正確に言うと、もっとあるのかも？景虎さん。僕はラーメン好きだけど、特にラーメン通ではないので、評論はしません。ただ、お水の氷がかわいいな、と思って。
Kagetora, a newly moved ramen shop in Nippori (on the first floor of one of those 3 new buildings) serves decent portion and quality ramen. Although I will leave the judgement to Ramen Freaks, I'd like to say that they serve cute ice-cubes in their water.

箱入り娘 Cat In Da Box

昼休み、食事に出かけた道端の電話ボックスには住人が。外は寒く、室内はポカポカと日が差し込む。何とも素敵なカウチポテトならぬカウチ猫。近所のおばちゃんは言う、「写真撮るなら開けたら？逃げないから。」　ということで、ちょっとお宅拝見♪
Down the road, on the way to lunch, a phone booth stands and there sits a cat.  Despite the cold weather, sunlight warms up the LA-Z Boy. Boy O' boy, I want that couch.

玩具 TOY

息子に買ったプラレール。　予想どおり僕が一番楽しんでる。　線路がもっとほしいし、複々線化、高架、長い編成、ミニカーおいてジオラマみたいに…。

Bought a plastic train toy for my son.  No doubt I am enjoying the most adding more rail, more train cars, make train pass by, raise the rail, put small model cars to make a little toy town....

珍事 Happening

ムードある電車内？　いいえ、何かトラブルがあって停車した電車の車内。　何かのチェックということで消灯…。　23時もまわり終電を焦る人もいたのでは！？
A romantic mood train car? No. The other day, due to some trouble, train was stopped and light turned off for checkup. It was after 23:00 and some people must have worried about their last train....
