barbecue on the riverside of Tamagawa

I took part in the barbecue party held on the riverside of Tamagawa river. People participated in the party were those who were invited by the manager of a restaurant near my apartment. It was very fine day today, so many people gathered there to barbecue. It was the first barbecue in a while. I didn't remember the last time I barbecued. I recognize anew the barbecue under the blue sky is the greatest. I relaxed very much even though I just drank with nice foods and talked with people there. I should go out much more often to get fresh air and vigorous life.

bookstore giftcard giveaway

I like cafe latte very much. It seems that cafe increases rapidly in Japan over the last few years. We came to see here and there Starbucks, Tully's, Excelsior cafe, Doutor coffee and so on. It is appreciate for me but I'm sorry but there is not a cafe near my office. I have no choice but to buy a cup of latte at the convenience store next to my office. At convenience store, it is difficult to get a cup of latte without sugar. We can get different kinds of no-sugar canned coffee in Japan though. I prefer cafe latte which is made of espresso and steamed milk to coffee. I probably like espresso. The only no-sugar cafe latte we can get at the convenience store is Mt.RAINIER Caffe Latte. I have had this product since it was released. No-sugar cafe latte has not released yet since then. The no-sugar cafe latte lover appeares to be not so much. Now Meiji Nyugyo which make Mt.RAINIER Caffe Latte have a campaign for the bookstore giftcard giveaway. The number is printed on the seal on the package. You enter the number in the Mt. RAINIER web site. You can get a bookstore giftcard if you win the lottery. I have never win the kind of campaign though I have tried many times. For the first time I won it. It was a bit of happiness. The big fortune may follow this little fortune in the near future.
