Lunch at a local indoor, air-conditioned restaurant(2 ppl) in #Phuket town was 4,000 JPY equiv. Looking only at the price, I'm surprised at how high it is in #Thailand, but the satisfaction is much higher than a 5,000 JPY restaurant in #Osaka, where I live.

Our month-long stay in #Thessaloniki, #Greece, is wrapping up! It’s been our first time staying Europe, and we’ve made some amazing memories. Want to come back next year if possible.

There is less than a week left until we leave #Thessaloniki, #Greece, but still have longer days than sprint-type tourists.

My wife is recently aggressively searching for restaurants here, but it's for next year's stay since we only have 1 chance left this time. Yeah, we want to be back again.

The ingredients of risotto depend on what we have in the fridge. Today was only beet greens.

Eating out is only once a week, except for light snacks like gelato and bougatsa. Do you eat almost the same dish every day? Yes, absolutely! Never get bored so far.

Our self-catering menu in #Thessaloniki for 2ppl in August so far. (6 days left)

BF: watermelon(1/4 of 4kg mini), boiled beans
Lunch: Parboiled brown rice Risotto
Snacks: Grape, peach, nectarine
Dinner: Greek salad and boiled beans

Enjoyed late lunch/early dinner in #Thessaloniki. Today is once a week's opportunity for eating out. Impressed by the nice food as well as the nice service.

I think the salads I make here are better than what I make at home, thanks to the high-quality olives and feta cheese.

As we are learning Thai, We’re glad the staff didn't speak English at all. I really enjoyed the food and small conversation in Thai. #thai #food

We had a good lunch at ร้านใต้บ้านฉ้าน in Hua Hin, Thailand at the very beginning of 2025. #huahin #หัวหิน

A pair of Anas Platyrhynchos and Aythya Ferina hung around together in Muromi River #fukuoka. #birds

Upper left is female Aythya Ferina and she later went to the male on the right-hand side.

My wife usually buys 豆大福(Mochi) and おはぎ back which are my favorite snacks when she flies to #Osaka from #Fukuoka to see a dentist. The former was known as a favorite snack of Steve Jobs.

My favorite store is Futaba in #Kyoto but Tanbaya is good enough, also cheaper and convenient.

Climbed up Mt. Aburayama in #fuluoka for the first time. Almost no scenery and there were almost planted needle leaves trees. What I expected was a great view and a nice color of leaves but it was just an exercise. Also, the peak was too cold to be. It's too late.

I bought a bunch of leafy greens, but they were only labeled “Italian Vegetables”. They were supposed to be puntarelle or cervatica, but you never know until you try them.

Took some pictures at Ohori Park, #fukuoka. I always wonder how they think about there're different kind of species nearby. #birds

As of the end of October, Common Pochard had been gathering at Muromi River and the surrounding area in #fukuoka. We can see them wherever on the water in #Fukuoka city until next spring. #birds

Encountered a Ptanga japonica in a planter on the 4th-floor balcony. I don't know if the grasshopper eats the calendar we planted. He/she jumped out when my wife exclaimed in astonishment and then I took this photo. #fukuoka

Live horseshoe crab is exhibited in "福岡市保健環境学習室　まもるーむ福岡". I think here is the only place to see them in #fukuoka.

Went to Odo Park by bicycle and enjoyed the nice autumn weather. Not hot, not cold, modest sun, calm wind. I think one of the best days today. #fukuoka
