27/07: Eating EELS
According to the Japanese calendar, on the Day of the Ox in the hottest period of summer,
the eels are eaten.
This year, the Days of the Ox for eating eels are 19JUL and 31JUL.
It is said that the eels are so rich in Vitamin A and B that a summer cold would be prevented.
Why don't you try having a bowl of eel and rice!?

23/07: Kyoto Chinese restaurant
Today I am in Kyoto, formerly the imperial capital in Japan.
I had lunch in Chinese restaurant, Tao-Tei which literally means " the Peach Garden"...
In front of the restaurant gate there is fabric divider which we call NOREN,
originally protection from sun, wind and dust, and for advertising space.
Hunging NOREN also signify the restaurant is open for business,
and it is always taken down at the end of the business day.
