One Day's My lunch on Oshima

 Today is a my day off and the weather is nice. So I decided to have lunch outside. I drove along my favorite Sunset Palmline and decided to have lunch here. 

It’s a wonderful place! Because a lot of Isogiku blooming. Isogiku is a specialty of autumn beaches on Oshima. They are tiny yellow flowers, so adorable. The leaves have white borders, and back of the leaves are white, too. I found one more Oshima’s autumn.

One Hour 45 Minutes by High-Speed Jet Ferry from Oshima to Tokyo

I usually take a high-speed jet ferry to go to Tokyo. It arrived at Hamamatsucho after one hour, 45 minutes. It’s so fast. They run at 80 kilometers per hour, right? There are four of them. They are called Ai, Tomo, Tairyo, and Yui. Ai has a pink body, and looks lovely. Yui is the newest and the design is nice. I was able to take Yui this time.  

I like to sight outside from the ferry window. When I was starting at Oshima, I saw beautiful Mt.Fuji. And this is my one of favorite views; the cranes at the port of Tokyo. I've always thought that they looks like giraffes. I googled it, and it seems that they're really called, "Sea giraffe”. I didn’t know that!

What Happens to the Black Cat's Owner

I felt my black cat looking at me, but it was the black bag on the floor. I’m thought that my black cat was lying down, but it was the black clothes I took off. 

when I woke up needing to go to the bathroom around midnight, I stepped on a black blanket on the floor, but it was actually my black cat sleeping. 

Kuri-Chan, I’m deeply sorry!

Oshima’s Halloween

My English teacher who lives in Kansai sent me Halloween photos. It looks fun! I feel that he really enjoys Halloween every year.




 
Unfortunately, Oshima doesn’t have a Halloween atmosphere. But recently, I found a “Halloweeny" tree!



 
It was so unique. I named it the Frankenstein Tree. It’s said that after squirrels gnaw at bark, they're able to make marks in horizontal stripes. There are many squirrels on Oshima. So, I often see those marks. But I've never seen them looking like scars before. The timing is perfect!

Ura-Sabaku Desert in the Autumn

I went to Ura-Sabaku in the evening because I wanted to see Japanese pampas grass shining in the setting sun. The wind was strong, so the Japanese pampas grass swayed in the wind. It looks like sea anemones in the sea.



My shadow was so long, I looked like a giant. There was no one but me. I had Ura-Sabaku all to myself. What a beautiful moment! 


On the way back, I found a caterpillar that looked more like a fox's tail hair than a pampas grass ear. This was also like autumn.

Sun-Dried Saury Fish at Takeda Store

I found nice things while driving. So, I needed to stop. Many saury fish were drying outside the store. It’s a famous Oshima food. I saw them for the first time today. They are made between autumn and winter. I heard that because of Oshima’s wind, sun, and salt, they taste better than in other places. Yes, it looks good! I bought one set (5 for 980 yen).




Then, I ate the grilled saury fish with beer. It was great! I'm going to being hooked on this taste.

The Little Creatures that Come to My House on Oshima 02 | Centipede

A centipede came out again! I met one in my room for the third time. It’s small this time, about 5 cm. I think it is young. 

I’m interested in the life cycle of centipedes, with the mother protecting and raising her young. But I don't want you to do it here. Actually last time, When I was sleeping, I was bitten on my neck by a big one. It really hurt, besides, it felt creepy!

So, I bought centipede repellent immediately on Amazon, though I haven't used it yet.

Now is the time to use it! It’s made from Japanese cypress. I don’t dislike the smell. My cat doesn't care at all. I wonder if is this truly effective?



This is the centipedes repellent.
