Rock and roll musicians had a live concert at Orion Square the other day.

I Step in a Forest Trail up Mt. Kuroto

I Go to a Cafe, "9 KYOYA CHAHO"

 I went to a cafe near the entrance of the forest the other day.

Customers to the cafe could see trees and mountains from its windows while eating.

The cafe had some binoculars for visitors to watch wild birds for free.

I couldn't watch them but surely could hear their singing.

Views from the windows at the cafe and at my condominium are completely different.
