Tripping Far Side

I went to bed early last night because I have a cold. So I woke up early this Saturday morning, still as if on routine, at 7 AM.

So I haven't had a good breakfast in Japan, so I took a stroll down to the local restaurant, Cafe Ripple. Small, cozy, and where-they-know-your-name kind of place.

The best part is the Japanese toast. Thick and covered with butter. Crunchy when you bite but moist and soft for the finish. Sooo delicious! I like it better than a bagel because it isn't so heavy.If you want to try some in Seattle, go to Uwajimaya and buy some shokupan!

They serve good coffee, scrambled eggs with mini sausages smothered in ketchup (just the way I like it), and a salad with sesame dressing. On the side is fresh strawberry yogurt to complement.

A nice way to start the day. Today, lots to do: reply to everyone's email, change spark plugs on my bike, laundry, schoolwork, and tidy up the house for Anna's big arrival.
