We visited this lovely cafe in an October night last year when we were staying in Kamakura of Japan. Onarimachi is actually located just a few minutes from Kamakura Station - you may check this elegant and classic station from my recent two posts [1,2].

This cafe ranks #2 in the 10 Most Beautifully Designed Japanese Starbucks by the Fast Japan travel website and we had the first hand experience to enjoy its tranquil ambience.

According to the intro of this website, before Starbucks took this place, this location “used to be the residence of anime artist Ryuichi Yokoyama.” whose works are on display in the shop. According to my wife’s info collection, the famous pool on the terrace was the house pool for the previous owner and was kept as a decoration when Starbucks took over. Great move! really…

The main structure of the cafe is wooden and it is spacious. It is very impolite to take photos of the customers inside the cafe, especially in Japan, so I barely took any. As the website describes, “they have not only standard tables or sofas, but also a high ceiling, open space faces the garden, and even the pool. In spring season you can enjoy coffee, seeing cherry blossoms tree in the garden. This must be special relaxing moment.” lovely, isn’t it!?

We deliberately sat outside by the pool. The weather that night was very pleasant. We ordered some normal Starbucks drinks and cakes to enjoy here. Our 6yo boy TT was infected by this aura and amazingly spoke with very low volume. The design of the terrance with a small pool is also very japanese - simplistic. So, all in all, that one hour we spent there was very relaxing and comfortable.

It doesn’t mean you cannot chat with your friend. You certainly can. Just don’t talk with too much energy. It is certainly a great choice if you just want to spend some time alone and think about meaning of life. :)

伴水一方的星巴克

這間星巴克是我們到鎌倉時去的。那時只知道這間咖啡廳很有名,因為戶外區有一個小水池。我們是晚上到的,天氣很舒服,這間星巴克是木造建築,非常寬敞具有現代感,但我們主要有興趣的就是能在泳池旁喝杯咖啡。很幸運地是我們有位子,就在小水池旁。水池據說是前藝術家屋主留下的私人泳池,星巴克特意留下,因此成為一個特色。純粹觀賞,可不能下去游泳喔!簡單的庭園設計,藍色的池水,夜晚的星空與微風… 真的是很舒服很愜意的一間咖啡廳喔!

鐮倉街景隨拍 🍙 Dean's Tokyo Snapshots 🍙 鐮倉 Kamakura #2

抵達鐮倉車站之後,一起來看看鎌倉的街景,是如何地…

不起眼,呵呵。

我沒有特別挑什麼,就是把我隨意拍的街景整理一些出來:車站附近,到大街,到小巷,到鐵道邊,到河邊…

如果要說鎌倉街景有些什麼特色,那就是,悠閒質樸吧…. 其實只是個小鎮的規模,沒有什麼特別熱鬧的地方。這裡也沒太多可以住宿的地方喔~~~

下回待續吧~~

this Dean’s Tokyo Snapshots series ( #dean-tokyo as a specific tag) is my photographic diary for my family trip to Tokyo. The trip is over but I will continue to share my thoughts and photos … Apologies first since some of these will be written in Chinese only…

日本旅遊已結束,繼續以此系列紀錄日本之行…. ^^

[社區閒聊] 重訪Golos

社區裡資深一點的朋友,應該都知道Steem有一個孿生兄弟,合法授權的,叫做Golos。相對於Steem是全球以英文為主的,Golos就是俄文的版本。

當時,Golos複製Steem的code,做了俄國版本的區塊鏈,還快照空投給Steem社區,按照SP多寡,給一定量的GP(Golos的SP的意思)。我呢,當時Steem價高之時,想說當不了Steem whales,到另一個地方試試手氣吧,所以買了一些,還幫他們在CN區宣傳了幾次,看來後來我是CN區裏最大的Golos大鱷呢!呵呵~~

當時還曾經幻想過,我也來學學俄文,多了解一下俄國文化等等…想當然爾,是沒有執行了。只是玩了幾次,用憋腳的翻譯網站,發過幾次文章而已。

看看我,現在2W顆GP,大概是隻大海豚,接近小鯨魚。不過呢,帳戶價值,只剩下一百多刀了,哭哭。

螢幕快照 20190408 上午9.27.10.png

由於語言隔閡,上次發文已經是一年前。甚至都沒有點讚,因為我也不知道是否有自動點讚服務。當時Golos還沒有delegation機制,今天回去看看,似乎已經有了,不知道這一年,他們區塊鏈改成什麼樣子,但總之,應該也沒有多成功,看幣價就知道了。

有了代理後,應該就會有bid bots,但是我一樣找不到… 反正也只有這麼一點價值,我看也不用著急著找了,你說是吧?

倒是藉機再讓新朋友們知道這裡,萬一你有俄文專業,那麼,到這邊玩玩,說不定是一種新的機會吧?

English Version: Does anyone know if there is any delegation-for-profit service on Golos.io? I hope my 20+k GP can earn some interests for me…. Anyone who can help me with this, I will upvote you here as a thank you~~ ^_^

抵達鐮倉車站 🍙 Dean's Tokyo Snapshots 🍙 鐮倉 Kamakura #1

很久沒有繼續我的日本旅遊分享了,上次停留在橫濱。今天,我特別思念橫濱的下一站,所以就決定今天開始進入,那一次日本行,我最愛的地方:鎌倉,Kamakura。

我是第二次到鎌倉了,卻是在這次才愛上它。原本只覺得它只是個古老鄉下,這次走了幾處,充分感受鎌倉的歷史與文化之美,讓我有東京的京都的驚艷感~~

就請跟著我,開始幾次的鎌倉之旅吧~~

今天先開個頭,看看鎌倉的車站。剛抵達時,甫從東京、橫濱等先進城市來到這裡,不禁會有一種落後感。但很快地,鎌倉就會用它古老的底蘊來征服你的….

要是真的不行,那就讓孫悟空來歡迎您!

再不然,用手工蕎麥麵來誘惑您的口也可以~~

尖屋頂下的出口處,充滿人潮。

江之電,之後我們會去的地方,就是從這裡開頭的。

鎌倉的觀光人潮,甚至主要是日本國內各地的旅客。

美麗典雅的鎌倉車站,周邊就有非常熱鬧的商店與購物中心。離開這裡,你可能會困在歷史中的荒蕪,找不到東西吃喔!呵呵~~ ^_^

透過紀錄,再訪鎌倉,令人期待!鎌倉!我又來啦!~~~~

[DrugWars] 歧路

昨天我登上了有史以來最高Ranking: #34,但卻一點也沒高興。原因其實還有點蠢:我決定把官方空投的6W顆Future花一花,可以直接升級我的Drugs生產,但我又不想登上前百成為目標。結果,這兩天,大家可能都是用future在升級,我的排名迅速掉到300多去,於是乎可以升級了…

螢幕快照 20190406 下午5.51.57.png

沒想到我按下以future升級後,怎麼一直轉沒反應。這是遊戲典型的F5症狀,所以我又重新整理了一次。結果,我一次連升兩級Phar. Lab,就進百了。結果進百後,待了半天,似乎沒有特別多人來查看,我後來乾脆就全部升一升,future花光光,於是,達到最高峰 #34,看來日後只會慢慢下降了。

DW這遊戲,後來的表現不佳,無限通膨,現在似乎要升級都是天文數字了,戰鬥也不好玩了,上次分享過,似乎就是『矛B盾R』邏輯了。賺錢呢?反正我是虧錢的那一個,但當初投入在100 STEEM以下的人,應該都是賺錢的。不過,重點是,無論賺不賺錢,遊戲前景何在呢?

官方說正在努力讓戰鬥更好玩,但我看這整體的資源分佈情況已經有點失控了,戰鬥更好玩就能救得了這遊戲嗎?

現在,很多人應該都是例行地去花一下資源,沒興趣花太多時間在上面了吧?這樣一來,只要DW的獎金池慢慢乾掉,更多人就會棄玩….

當初開放的幫派,似乎也沒什麼花樣可以玩,感覺沒什麼意思。

結論是:DW走在歧路上,能夠再創高峰的機會,似乎越來越渺茫了….

[D&TT] 媽媽的愛

媽媽對於孩子的愛,似乎永遠比爸爸對孩子來的深刻與強烈。至少,在我家裡是這樣的。我自問也是很愛TT的,但是媽媽為他所做的改變,卻是我所不能及的。

其中一點,就是 … 為了TT,媽媽從一個結婚後還是無憂無慮地去咖啡廳看書跟逛街的女孩,在成為母親之後,慢慢的轉變成一個可以燒出一桌好菜的媽媽。

我可是從來沒要求TT的媽媽必須煮飯給我吃,甚至也不指望。早個十年,我的廚藝可是她的幾倍強。但是,孩子的到來,讓媽媽有了這樣的改變,連帶地,爸爸也受惠了,回家常常總是有好吃的等著我 ^_^。早餐,也從天天到外面吃,變成豐富的各種家庭早餐了。

在此,把TT媽媽這一段時間煮過,我有拍照的放上來,讓TT長大以後可以看看,他從小過著這麼快樂又好吃的日子,是誰的功勞…. ^_^

D&TT ( #deantt) 是我的育兒系列,也許談養兒,談育兒,談當年生兒,談媽媽懷孕時,談家庭形成,談生命意義,談我兒TT的好笑,可愛,可憎,或記錄他的生活,我們的生活,三個人的,兩兩的…. Anything about TT。
