My hotel, ”Bayerischer Hof” serves breakfast from 6:00. I thought that German was the earliest bird in the world. But I was also surprised that a bar in the hotel opened till 3:00 in the morning.

I asked a fashion adviser how I do. She suggested that I wear a light blazer, cotton pants and leather-sneakers. Thanks to her advice, I enjoyed my trip.

I could not make up my mind whether I should have worn a formal dress or casual clothes during the trip. If I take both of them, my suitcases will be too small for packing. If I wear a formal dress, I can’t feel easy. If I take casual dres…

Travel starts when I start to plan it. I can enjoy not only during the trip but also during planning. But it is not pleasant for me to pack my suitcases. Sometimes it takes more than two hours. I always feel tired before the departure.

不動産のデメリットとしては、流動性の悪さが挙げられます。 一度買ってしまうと、次に現金化（即ち売却）するのに大変な苦労をするケースがあります。 流通性の悪い地域（例えば地方都市やバス便の郊外）で購入してしまうと、なかなか売れないことがありま…

The Victorian father was strict and stern. He was obeyed by all the family and children were expected to call their father “sir”. I find that it is very similar to Samurai family in Japan.
