It was the first Christmas without christmas card. At least christmas card from Germany fried had been come for decades, but it didn't this year. As this way, time slips through my fingers, time goes by.

So, went to the downtown by bicycle for exercise and took walking through shopping arcades. The streets were decorated by Christmas trees and decorations.

Like this way. But, most of shops looked getting down by IT revolution and reducing population. Sooner or later, these shopping arcades will be closed.

On the way, got into a working class restaurant, a ramen restaurant. The name of the restaurant was Okayama-Ichiban-Ten. It means Okayama first one, but it is located in Takamatsu, Kagawa. Why?

My ramen was this, 3 times veggies one, 900 yen. But veggie meant only bean sprout. No way!
It was a bit tough to eat it out, but did it.

It was the Christmas lunch, but it was not appropriate. Workers in the restaurant were working like dogs. Poor! Me? Same as them. No way!

As this way, time goes by. That's the way it was December 25th 2023.

Lonely Christmas
