Beakfast at Tiffany's

written by Truman Capote



I don't remember whether I had seen the movie or not, but this novel have different impression from a famous movie. The movie seems it emphasized too much attractiveness of a girl named Holly.

The novel tells about a young girl who seeks a place where she belongs to.
She claims she is a traveller, on the way to some place where she feels her home.
She spends ostentatious life in NY. Even she can't find a bond with a cat she keeps. " We just met by the river one day:that's all. Independence, both of us. We never made any promises. We never."

I went to see a movie "Slumdog Millionaire" during Golden week.
It was a good movie.
Most of all I was surprised to find that a TV quiz show in this film was exactly same quiz show on Japanese TV. Japanese one is a imitation of British TV quiz show named "Who want to Be a Millionaire" and the idea is owned by Sony Pictures Television International. Besides the original is another radio program "cash mountain". I suspect same quiz show might be all over the world and someone might be a millionaire by selling the idea.

This is an ceramic doll named Pug made by a ceramic artist Kaidachi Tomohiro in Arita town. I bought this for my sister because she was really attracted to this elf.
This is very cute but I myself like everyday ceramic ware without an artist's name.

If you want see more of his dolls, please visit there.

Why should we check our car every two years?

In Japan, we have to have a safety check on the cars every two years( Motor-vehicle inspection). I think Japanese cars have good quality so we don't need any forced inspection by law. We can maintain our cars in good condition by ourselves.

It takes 39,500Yen(about395US$)for weight tax for under 2000cc displacement cars.
Weight tax is used to maintain roads. Do we have to pay the tax? I don't know.
