南城之旅Trip to Nanjo

各位看官, 近期油价高涨,因此每天注意国际油价的动态已经成为我例常“功课”。假如我的股票像油价这样连续攀升,那该有多好!油价虽高,但是要玩乐的话也顾不了这么多啦。开车到南城郊游,虽耗油,但是非常值得哟!

南城区在冲绳东南部,那里有很多山,因此开车在山路上行驶,居高临下观海景,非常赏心悦目!这里也有很多类型的咖啡座,任君选择。天气好的时候来到这里喝咖啡,吃蛋糕,乃人生一大享受哟!



驱车前往南城的路上会经过一道桥!这里可以欣赏超级无敌漂亮海景!

靠近Sefa Utaki的公园。我,Juri-san, Ian




以下是南城一个非常知名的咖啡座cafe kurukuma!一位难求哟!

我和我的小蓝车历险记update

各位亲朋好友,

对不起,让你们久等了。继续update我和小蓝车的历险记。。。以下是Yagaji-Kouri-Nakijin-Sesoko的游历。这些地方都在冲绳岛的北部,人烟稀少,风景绝佳。看车兜风非常爽!唯一的遗憾是距离。从我家开车去那里绕一圈可以超过100公里,油费还真有点让我吃不消。

Kouri Island

去Kouri island 的路上,道路两旁都是清澈无比的海水。别误会,我的车子并没有脱色。我在途中看到这车子,因为我超级喜欢白色SUV的车子,加上蓝海背景实在棒,因此情不自禁便冒充车主拍照。怎么样,还似模似样吧!


初夏。在Kouri island的沙滩留影。

Nakijin





不知道在哪一个当地的旅游手册读到,说这个和中国的万里长城相似,是冲绳的万里长城。我差点喷饭,这未免有点言过其实了吧。


“万里长城”前留影

Sesoko Island


另外一个和本岛连接的岛屿。无意中来到这个海滩。
海水非常漂亮。沙滩只有我们和另外两个人。我们到这里的时候,已接近天黑。这个时候就是电视制作人所谓的“magic hour”。照片的色调蓝蓝的,感觉非常“王家卫”。

这张照片一级棒!

王家卫的干女儿,呵呵

一个人独霸海滩,感觉还挺诡异的。

SAKURAN - "Moulin Rouge" movie of Japan

Hi all,

I just finished watching a Japanese DVD "SAKURAN" at 3 plus am... so here I am writing something on it, hoping that my dear friends would be able to appreciate one more great movie...





Plot:
Follows Kiyoha, a rebellious, powerhouse courtesan on the rise in 18th century Edo's pleasure quarter. Living in the lustrous world of Yoshiwara, she was determined to stand on her own two feet and live life as she pleased. Choosy about her customers, and both boon and headache to her employers, Kiyoha wants to find her freedom.

Why I like it:
- really not your typical geisha or samurai movie. Totally break my expectation
- This film is inspired by a manga, so the style is really manga-like
- music is great. Altho the setting is in ancient Japan, the music is contemporary and really suits the mood
- color is rich, cinematography is great
- altho content is not so deep, but it is good enough to sustain my interest. Got some comical points. Not boring!
- actress Anna Tsuchiya suits the role. Exotic & exciting to watch her acting
- Ending is not so typical. scenery is especially beautiful.

I would like to thank Yuko-san for recommending such a great movie to me!

You can watch the trailer here

小蓝车听音乐 my blue blue car goes to jazz concerto

难道我的小蓝车来到了教堂忏悔吗?非也。。。这里是冲绳教会短期大学。我可爱的日语老师介绍星期六有爵士演出,我于是便和两名同事驱车前来。巧合的是这里竟然是我一个同事的母校,而且这还是她毕业十年首次回来。


神啊!请保佑我的小蓝车!阿门!



爵士表演一般。钢琴手表演最棒,吹喇叭和saxaphone的两位仁兄则可要多多努力!ganbatte!!

小蓝车历险记下回预告:


欲知详情,一定要回来看看哟!

我的小蓝车日记 my blue blue car diary

我的小蓝(烂?)车虽然最近常出问题,但是它还是不负我望,成功地载我在冲绳到处走透透,兜兜风。小蓝车承载了我的幸福和期望。我和它似乎建立了某种感情,因此我决定为小蓝车开辟一个日记,记载它和我在这个小岛所到之处。

On the way to Nakijin castle (今归仁城). On the right is a Shisa, it is a traditional mythical creature that stands guard outside Okinawan homes. And yes... they are influenced by the Chinese


On the bridge to Kouri island(古宇利岛)。。。超级无敌漂亮清澈的海景

on the way to Kyan Misaki, a southern cliff in Okinawa
