A day of Eclipse

|
It was a hot day in September as usual... because " Tew " is living at Ayudhaya in Thailand.
Today she went to the temple with her younger sister. Temple is called " wat " in Thai speaking.
In a day time, temprature is around 35 degrees ... it's a normal climate through the year.
That's why maybe she is so tired and thirsty.

She made dinner for family and had nice evening time to chat by skype.
Her younger sister " Tik " is join to that skype chat sometime.
In this evening, They enjoyed much to talk with her friend in Bangkok and from Japan.

About 11:30 at night, she went to her bed.
It was a strange night.
Her friends said, " Today is a day of eclipse ".
So, now she is looking moon from her bed.

Narrow moon in the dark blue sky....also can see small clouds around.
Finally she felt into sleep.
Only ray of moon is lighting her face in a bit blue.



It's too hot ..... suddenly she wake up... just middle of sleeping.
She got a lot of sweat... and felt cold.
So wonder why... just opened the window in 2nd floor... electric fan is still working with some noise.

" Strange!... still a bit hot even middle at night as usual.... but I got lot of sweat! "
But she really felt some cold in her back...
She found that she is thirsty so much.

All member of her family has already sleeping... it's in the middle of the night.
Usually she never wake up at night.
So, she tried to go out from her room with silently.

She didn't turn on the light of her room... even the stairway to the 1st floor.
Where she had humid air around her.
Then she walked into the kitchen.

Going to find some milk in a refrigrater to heal her thirsty.
Yeah, she knows well where the kitchen is... even without light.
Moon lights help her to find it too.

Grip and pull the lever of refrigrater.
When she going to grab the bottle of milk..... felt somethin in her behind in sudden!

" GheaoooooooWWWW !!! ".

When she looked her back.
One black shadow was there!!


It was her younger sister " Tik " .... she also felt thirsty..

" Phew !!!.... scared me sooooo much !!! ".


Then " Tew " and " Tik " got a cool milk together in the dark.
And back to their room.

It's just a one tropical night at Thailand.
So, maybe you will have no nightmare tonight .... but please turn on the light when you go to the kitchen to find some milk at middle of the night.

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!
