White fish-shaped pancake / 白いたいやき

Since I got known that the stand of fish-shaped pancake (たいやき/Taiyaki in Japanese) was opened around the end of last year nearby my house I tired to get it.

Speaking to Taiyaki, we usually imagine the one which is brown color though...it's not brown but white and it has a elastic texture. I hear it is getting popular nowadays.

There are four kinds of flavors at that stand, custard cream, chocolate cream, black sesami jam, sweet potato jam. Also there is white bean jam as selling period of this season.

I tried to get black sesame and sweet potato. It was not too sweet. That is good for me because i don't like too much sweet. And then certainly it is a little bit sticky.

the inside of black sesame jam. Oh, the looking is a little bit bizarre...

sweet potato jam

It is attached the small memo mentioned how to eat with the best way.

I have made up my mind

I had job interview today. Although I was thinking I will never have it anymore when I got the job at that importing agency, I just wanted to try the company which they give me by far higher salary. But the interview was not good, I think. About me, 'I just tried' but the other applicants are quite different from me. Seems they want to get the job enthusiastically and are very competitive. Almost of them came here in my prefecture from other ares all the way to get the job and appealed their skills and job background. I was really overwhelmed by the ambiance like that. I simply can not contend with them. I almost gave up that company even while i was in the interview. That's why I can't anything right, I know...



If I can pass the interview I will get the free time by the beginning of April. So now I am thinking I would like to take part in the volunteer activity in foreign countries. It must be very short time though. I had been thinking about it since I had trip to Cambodia. Actually I could find this idea last night. Rather I would like to be there if I had enough time and money.

Why Cambodia?It's just a start and I was recognized their severe situation during my trip. So I feel like helping something for them. Even though it must be tiny help.

Even if I can't get the job at that company I am sure I will get other temporary job and then I will fly to Cambodia.

snow scene

I tried to take a picture this morning on the way to the office.Because it was snow scene all around me. Why do I have inner reserves in spite of the time for commuting.



what a deserted view this is..

It was a little bit congested road. I drove slowly...

This river is the same as usual. It flows gently.

I thought as if i was in the snowy country.

I was relieved because this scope didn't freeze...

Snow:-(

it is snowing now. we have snow after a long time here. According to the weather forecast it has been under a heavy snow warning from tonight to tomorrow morning.As i have been already found by world news it is quite cold this winter. I actually got frostbitten toes. I don't like cold ...I am thinking i was happy because i was in warm country, Philippines around this time of last year. Besides i was in Vietnam and Cambodia one month ago.
Seems the ground is covered 1cm of snow to accumulate. I really don't want to drive my car. But it is not allowed to take day off. phew....
