Posted by arezzo at 11:17 PM |

I wish your health and happiness this year.
Fortunately I have some good freinds by internet. I wish keep in touch with them for long time, and have nice and comfortable conversation.

This year, I like to visit some country to meet and spend nice time with my friends.
I believe this visiting make us more understand and get closer as nice friend.

Also I like to know their culture, language and especially taste of cusine.
Of course I intend to take photographs of town and landscape.
I like to take and create my sense of visual scene to my photographs.
Hope you enjoy to see it.

Greensleeves

Posted by arezzo at 10:36 PM |

"Greensleeves" is well known as a one of the old folk songs from England.
But I didn’t know, it was written by Henry VIII: King of England.
Maybe there is the story of this song.

Someday, I like to walk in the countryside in England to see peaceful green fields, while humming this song.

Greensleeves
England Air
Alas my love you do me wrong to cast me off discourteously
And I have loved you so long, so long, delighting in your company.
Greensleeves was all my joy, Greensleeves was my delight.
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, and who but my lady Greensleeves.

Thy smock of silk both fair and white with gold embroidered gorgeously,
Thy petti-coat of sandal right, sendal right, And these I bought thee gladly.
Greensleeves was all my joy, Greensleeves was my delight.
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, and who but my lady Greensleeves.

Greensleeves farewell adieu adieu, and God I pray to prosper thee,
For I am still thy lover true, lover true, Come once again and love me.
Greensleeves was all my joy, Greensleeves was my delight.
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, and who but my lady Greensleeves.

About Me

My photo
World local cusine and music are a part of my favorites.
Italy, Spain, Portugal, Southern France, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan and Si-Sen from China.
These are wonderful tast of cookings.

Thai food gonna make you surprise with that very hot and spicy taste, it will you bring to the colorful world of taste.
Sweets, I like those from Italia(Italy), Espagnia(Spain), Francaise(France), Japanese. These countries sweets are my favorites.
South Asian dessert uses coconuts taste mostly, I like it too.
Maybe very good sheff makes wonderful taste, but it is not so popular in the town I think.

Japanese sweets.
I love it, because these are famous for very delicate and sophisticated taste with style and stories...better than French I think.
Recommend traditional confectionery. Best place to get it is Tokyo and Kyoto. And each local cities also has remarkable cakes too.

Asian music is also my favorites.
I also love Flamenco from Spain, oops! actually it is dancing not only music.


Let me know, what kind of local music do you have in your area?

Pizzeria in Rome - Roma

Open the modest black door. The pizzeria was next on the corner of Hotel Bernini Bristol at Piazza Barberini.

If you have any interest this pizzeria, it's able to walk from Piazza Espagna.
Famous charch " Trinità dei Monti " is located top of Spanish steps.
Just walk down the narrow sidewalk to the right on Via Sistina ... around 10 minutes on foot, while watching antique Roman street.

The road faced to the Via del Toritone, that is a corner of the Piazza Barberini. ( it's so fantastic to see the fountain, Fontana di Toritone, especially in the summer evening when I walk around on the sidewalk )

Beside, Risotto at Hotel Bernini Bristol, you could find in a grand floor, it has wonderful taste.....

Thin and crispy ... it's a distinctive of Roman pizza.
If you try some of these, it's easy to see and I'm sure you will like it. I love " margherita " and " quattoro formaggio "

Wait for a while, the pizza is coming to your table.
House wine is fine ... it bring you a perfect time with Italian light body red wine.
Enjoy all at classical interiors with nice smiled stuffs.
"Salute!" or "Cin cin" ( toast!) ...
I wish you would have good Italian taste at citta di Roma.

..... Ciao!
