[Questions to me]

1. How long have you been blogging?

About 5 months now

2. What made you start blogging?

Originally I wanted to start Blog so many years before and it was because I wanted to tell people that Sushi is not the only food Japanese eat.

3. How do you relax?

I go for a walk in a quiet natural wood or park. It is fortunate that there are some natural habitats nearby. If I cannot go away, I sit in the garden and listen to the birds singing.

4. What is your favorite season? And why?

Spring. Especially because I live in London. Finding tiny green leaves appearing from a dead-looking brown branches of deciduous trees is very exciting after a long miserable wet wintertime.

5. Do you cook? Do you enjoy it?

Oh, Yes – Yes & No occasionally.

6. What is your favorite type of music?

I like all sort of music from classical to modern. Also some film soundtrack. Sometimes some music sticks in mind and I cannot get rid of it even in sleep.

7. What is your favorite television show?

Of course ‘Seinfeld’, the all time comedy show. it’s a bit old but for me it has been the funniest thing on TV. Each episode has the perfectly planned story/script with brilliant plot. The timing of acting/delivering lines are superb.

8. Are you a morning or night person?

Definitely Night person but occasionally I wake up very very early and read, write or think when not many people have started the day yet. That makes me feel very good.

9. Are you a sweet or savory person?

I like both but if I have to choose maybe ‘Sweet’

10. Are you an avid reader?

I like reading. I read more these days than when I was younger. I was shocked when I realised that if it takes, let’s say, two weeks for each book to finish I can read only 26 books a year but there are so many books get published each year. I can read only a fraction of all the books. I have to be quite selective when choosing books to read.

11. On your last trip where did you go?

My last trip was a very small one. I have just been to Cray Riverway, South East of London in England for a walk.
