When I came back to Kumamoto,
it was summer.
It was like winter a few days ago.
As soon as I arrived at Kumamoto station,
I ate Kumamoto ramen and black fried rice (Kuro Chahan).
It was delicious for that rich pork bone soup
and fragnant fried garlic.
A few days ago,
I returned to my parents' housein Kobe
on the Kyushu Shinkansen.
I've seen the Kyushu Shinkansen several times at Shin-Kobe Station,
but this is first time to ride it.
When returning from Kanto to Kobe,
it goes from east to west,
but this time it is the opposite.
It feels strange to go east to Kobe.
It must have been like this
when Magellan and Columbus went to eastern Asia and sailed west.
The seats on the Kyusyu Shinkansen are spacious
and seat four people like the green car on the Tokaido Shinkansen.
The color of the seats is also brown and calm,
so I can feel calm.
Since I spent my school days in Hiroshima,
the cities I know well pass buy one after another.
When I arrived in Kobe,
it was raining cold.
I went to Kobe in eary summer clothes,
so it's very cold.
It's like winter.
I hurried and bought a jacket that did not allow air to pass through.
During the few days I was in Kobe,
it got a little warmer,
but the temperature was only in the spring.
