Onsen!

I don't know you understand "onsen."

It means "Hot-springs."

I went to Nasu, Tochigi Prefecture with my friend.

We found this hot-spring which belongs to "Myogaya."

They have a out door one right next to the river.

I really like hot-springs.

It is probably the only thing I miss when I leave Japan....

What do you miss when you leave your place?

Coffee? What do you want?

"I'd like a mug of coffee"

"what do you want?"

"a mug of coffee, please."

"Okay, what do you want, sir?"

"Coffee.....?"

"what would you like to drink?"

I was in the cafe in Melbourne trying to have coffee.

Finally, the a person taking the order figure out my problem.

He asked "Late? Cappuccino?.... Flat White? Long Black?....."

What? Flat white? Long Black? What are they?

I said "Long Black, please."

it was "Cafe Americano"

Coffee is a name of the group of drink made of coffee in Australia. There was not a item named "coffee."

When you go to Sushi shop, you don't say "I'd like to have three sushi, please."

The same way in a cafe in Australia, you don't say "I want large coffee."

Coffee was not just coffee.....
