The first day of long weekends started ,  I noticed that many people have gone away so beaches were
very quiet.

Walking from Bondi,Tamarama and Bronte beach is spectacular ,  you see how beautiful these city beaches spread across.

*Kibi-gaku ...was founded by Yoshihide Kishimoto in 1872, he was a Gagaku (a traditional music played in shirines ) musician of former Okayama domain.

After Kishimoto passed away, Genpan Ono took the authoritative position and completed Kibigaku, incorporating a distinctive taste of Kibi region.( Okayama region). In 1883 Kibigaku became the official ritual music of Kurozumikyo. (Kurozumi shinto religion ).

Japanese Taiko (Drum) performers are from Tasmania , is called TAIKO DRUM.
The played very powerful Taiko session  and most of the music were their original.  Non Japanese were involved when they founded, and they added an Aussie taste to a traditional Japanese Wa-Daiko which created a new unique Taiko performance.

Yummy 90% raw food nori roll

After 2 hours of surfing,  I didn't get tired but my body , actually my brain was thinking about a nice
yummy and healthy food.

I am not a vegetarian but since my childhood, my tongue wasn't interested at meat and meat products much.  I was a happy child with natto(Japanese fermented soy beans) for every dinner.

Anyway this yummy nori roll  you see here.....I used freshly picked-up 7 different leaves from our garden, Asian basil(shiso), chunky broccoli-carrot-cellory left over after squeezing the juice, Australian
feta cheese, avocado and special yunoji paste.

Filling up nicely in my stomach and taste was really great.  Happy days!

Flowers--jasmine, lavender and red aussie flower are from our garden,too.

Dessert is..the best low fat yoghurt (Tamarvalley), strawberry avocado agave syrup sauce.

A surprise visit 2 on my balcony

A magpie flew into my balcony,  I heard the flip of the wing and the metal sound which the magpie
was keeping her footing clinging on the rail.

She behaved.  She didn't leave any droppings!

Enjoy the magpie's　expression !!

Sydney's ethnic town--Marrickville

When an eastern suburbs girl takes a trip to the west,  it is an adventure.  This time I took a train to
Marrickville where the nearest vietnamese community from CBD lies.
Vietnamese pork rolls, pho, fresh spring rolls and variety of asian mints...

This small restaurant was full when I walked pass, then my eyes were stuck on  a vietnamese
spring roll with vermacille on one of the table.
