haiku post

haiku post installed in Brussels. found this news in the paper, and searched on EU site, and found nothing close to that. only covered by Japanese press… hope it will be hotter over there too.

a cake out of sakura leaves

could not get pants shopping done.
sad to have several pairs with you and yet have grown up out of them.
i cannot help but go out of my way, instead of buying online,
cuz they are pants, not shirts.

Daphne odora

from musical 'rent'

something i noticed listening to the tune.
'i should tell you' sounds a little like
'a-i-shi-te-ru' which means 'i love (you)' in japanese.
