The Heal in Park

                  These are from near the place where I live, and this was the very first time I could happen to know this place and come there. This is a so huge park called “Yamadaike Kouen” where people use for jogging, walking, or feeling lots of nature.                                                  

 I never expected that there’s the place like this near my place because I felt like I was in a totally different place once I get into there for that beautiful lake there and the well organized bushes and gardens. While I was taking picture, one old lady, I mean really old, talked to me and we just had a little walk for a while. She is almost reaching 80 years old, I guess. Partly thanks to her, I could get familiar with the organization of the park more or less. For me not having time to feel nature or relaxing any these days, taking a look and walk there wiped away my tiredness coming from a daily life, and so did having a chat with the old lady that reminded me my real grandmother.       

 One more thing that made me feel better was cats carelessly sleeping on the rock. When I take a picture of him or her, I approached them as close as I could, but they wouldn’t even care about me or tried to run away like they know we wouldn’t try to hurt them. Actually, there were a lot of cats in that park. According to a notice board, many people have been throwing baby cats away there. That’s why I saw cats all around there, I guess. I’m not sure that you can get every stuff I felt and saw by watching the pictures on my blog and my describing, but I can be strongly sure that chilling somewhere like this could heal your heart, I mean go visit there!! That’s worth to do!!

Recommendation of something in Japan

 I’m writing down about “Pachinko” which is familiar especially for Japanese and more like a gamble game than just amusement for me because anybody can possibly double or more your money just with a temporary luck and decision to risk your money on it. The reason why I dare to mention it this time comes from that many people, I mean both Japanese and no-Japanese, do even if they totally lose their money being aware of that fact, but I do not disagree with to play Pachinko, in fact, someone spends unbelievably huge amount of money on girls, video games or food. I can’t see any regret about that, so hereby I recommend Pachinko as one of Japanese culture. Obviously as you can see, there’re so many places to play Pachinko like everywhere in Japan. Just by seeking for them in the way back to my house from Hirakata station, I find, at least, 5 or 6, which is same somewhere but Osaka.

Like the picture in the middle, people gather around in front of there and make a line before the day of Shindai Irekae (It means that the new type of a Pachinko machine is coming in Japanese) to get a better one faster than anyone else. I guess even that part is also the point to have fun for them.　Pic comes from（http://getnews.jp/wp-content/themes/redevo_newsred/featured-images/090406_0807331.jpg）

I took this photo at Pachinko parlor, called Himawari, near east gate of Kansaigaidai. Whenever all day in a year I go past beside that Pachinko parlor, wide age range of customers seriously face a Pachinko machine holding or putting a cigarette in their mouth. That kind of forces me to wonder if they really have a job or keep living by playing just only that. If you wanna be through all sort of stuff in Japan, I don’t think it’s bad one.
