*I hope Turkey, devastated by the devastating earthquake, recovers quickly. I arrived in Istanbul late at night. Even deep into the night, the narrow, steep streets were packed with people, and the shops were packed. Around the clubs where the house was being played, there was so many people that I couldn't even move. Considering the sheer number of people, I thought the place was surprisingly quiet. What I hadn't noticed was the sheer number of cats. Cats were wandering the streets, and there were cats in front of stores […]
When I arrived in Barcelona, the bright sunshine and neat streets were pleasant. I felt the Mediterranean breeze in Barceloneta, where beautiful yachts stood. The paella I ate as soon as I arrived was really delicious. It was nice to see so many cute shops gathered in a narrow alley. It was fascinating that the old building that served as the backdrop for Notre Dame was intertwined with modern times, and the past and present overlapped.

I took a train from Paris to Bordeaux. To be honest, I didn’t even know where Bordeaux was in France. I only vaguely knew it as a city of wine. Bordeaux is a port city in southwestern France, and its shape resembles a crescent moon, so it is also romantically called Port de la lune. It is located between La Garonne, the Garonne River that flows from the Spanish Pyrenees to the Atlantic Ocean, and the elegant Palais de le Bourse […]
I have finally come on a trip. It’s been 8 years since I went to Paris. There was a lot to prepare for my first long-distance trip in a long time. Flying to the other side of the world is tiring after all. It is the beginning of summer in Paris, and the sky is wide and high, and the days are sunny. Last time I came to Paris, it was winter, but this time, the sun is shining brightly. I felt like all the hard times had been washed away. I was very nervous because I didn't know what the coronavirus situation was, but when I arrived, I completely relaxed. In the basement of the hotel […] ]
