One Flew and took us to the cuckoo.

Today I was doing in his spare time a parallel between Italy and Japan. Both are, in geographical terms, longer than wide, oriented roughly from north to south. Both are crossed in this verse by a mountain range (coincidentally called the Japanese Alps).

While starting from the same premise we reach the same conclusion, why the Italian railway network is said to be hampered by the conformation of the territory, while the Japanese counterpart allows for speeding shinkansen across the country?

Other interesting parallel: in both countries the winter arrives. And what happens in winter? They tell us right from primary school: the snow falls!
in Japan due to the snow more than a couple of hours of discomfort to the rail, just long enough to clear the line.
In Italy instead, just a bit of snow to block trains and highways and cause an emergency. But on the other hand is known as the Apennines are a charming seaside resort, which in the recent past the shepherds away in winter transhumance to escape the swarms of Teutonic bikini in winter and the sea calm.

Another effect of the cold in Italy is that it brings skyrocketing prices of fruits and vegetables, because, guess', when winter's cold and the plants suffer. But in Japan, where it's cold equal if not more, strawberries, a typical winter fruit, have virtually the same price since October, despite the falling snow.

And finally, while in Italy the price of fuel seems to be equipped with an exhaust system (mechanism consisting of a toothed wheel and a pawl, which serves to advance the wheel in one direction) and can only get here in Japan, a country famous for its abundance of indigenous oil fields (as much as it is the north pole for the sale of refrigerators), the price of gasoline is oddly up and down overnight.

But we in Italy's San Remo that solves all problems, but here ...

Mount Blade Warband Aktivision Cod

Gone with the wind.

Today, despite the weather forecast indicating the afternoon winds from the north at 70 km / h, we decided to go cycling along the Tamagawa. In keeping with the manual for amateurs, however, we decided to do the first leg to windward, so as not to have to fight back to Aeolus, and then we came down the course, unlike the other time.


The Tamagawa was nice and crowded as usual: who to jogging, to those who exercise his swing, some riding, some to play baseball and who to fish. In addition there was a smell of spring in the air that had been so long since I felt.
At one point, along the banks, in a stretch where there were concrete blocks that emerged from the water, check the little things we have seen, that at a closer look proved to be the turtles that were basking the warmth of the sun.



It seemed incredible that a river flowing in a megalopolis like Tokyo mantentere succeed in life in a colony of turtles, as well as herons, ducks and fish variety. Have any of you tell me if you have ever seen in Trastevere herons and turtles in the last 10 years?


So beandoci of nature around us, we continued our ride along the river, until at some point ...

... a yellowish cloud in front of us we were not warned that the weather we had taken! The wind got up suddenly, making us eat dust and accompany, in fact, pushing us, at home. And once back he started to get serious: while what has surprised us on the banks was a breeze at 20 mph in the afternoon to nearly 50, resulting in turn in all parking of bicycles in a forest of wheels get up in the sky.

Period Like Pain And Peeing All The Time

Wake up girls ...

And in the end it seems that winter is ending ... the temperatures are finally up! Today, even 11 ° C! Stuff that now the Japanese girl will be moving around in a bikini ...


And with the warmth of spring, comes a gentle breeze that spreads through the air the sweet scent of cherry trees in bloom on Saturday is expected to wind 60 km / h. ..
to the appearance of the spring at Tokyo (look that is included in the picture below) have begun to bloom the first buds.


In this other picture you can see a rather strange contraption, I do not know whether to call it the fountain or monument, which we found in a park in Machida. The two arms are overhead, and vary depending on the distribution of water flowing over it from the middle.


Just for the record, immediately after taking the photo, the girl decided to dive a candle in the bathtub. :) Until next
