Tag: Photo a Week

For a long while, I have forgotten how to take a bus. I know I’m having an ID on which my face is printed and still a few available tickets are recorded. I recognise I’m having a few coupons in my wallet. I am aware one hour ticket a guy of car garage gave me is left in my pocket. I know but I don’t. I am conscious of what I could. On the road again.

Pas maintenant. J’espère.

しばらくの間、バスに乗ることを忘れていた。カードには有効なチケットが記録されていたはずだし、カルネも財布に残っていた。ポケットにだってガレージでもらったのが残っていた。でもバスに乗らない。わかっている。また戻ろうと。

でも。

An eternal October is coming again, with a weeping accordion under a grey sky. Always scarlet apples on a shelf of a supermarket are bit acid and always a full moon is probably behind a uncertain veil of evening mist.

また永遠の10月がやってくる。灰色の空の下の悲しげなアコーディオンと共に。いつだって緋色のりんごは少しばかり酸の味がして、いつだって満月は湿った夜のベールの向こう側。

That’s the way it goes. That’s why you will be in unexpected November.

今日という日はそんなもの。だから不意の11月がやってくる。

I have forgotten how I feel of getting nostalgic. A town where I was growing up has been totally changed, a sea shore I was spending my collage time is already uncertain in my heart and now it is impossible to go back to my home town ten thousand kilo meters far from here. I don’t have so many reasons to think about there anymore. 

Nevertheless, a small unexpected thing may bring my thought to my place in memories. Time to time, it might be a taste of beans, a colour of leaves or a smell of blossoms. 

ノスタルジーなど元々感じたこともないと思っていたが、ちょっとした匂いや味にふとかつて住んでいた場所を思うことに気がついた。

A cold and orange cookie was not baked but dried in the sun several weeks ago.
Some black spices are not prepared from pepper but with the end of hot weather.
Nothing has been changed, and will be.

何も変わらないことの喜び

At first, I thought perhaps it would be a kind of long vacation or sabbatical spending my time abroad. More or less, living in a foreign country makes some difficulties as well as joy of life in new environment, not only by a different language I used to use but from a bunch of small differences in customs. In other words, longer time in a foreign country, more chances to find something different proportionally. 

However reality is always a bit different. Everyday life sometimes means a piled up bored things, such like taking out the garbage or claiming on insurance, with a small happiness. Of course it is enough for everyone. Even if you need to add some exceptional things to do, finding better mask for instance, this year, still the life is enough interesting. Just all I need is a vacation in any way. 

慣れ親しんだ場所とは異なる異国に住むというのは、ある意味長いバカンスのようでいて少し異なる。目の前にどんなに新鮮味のあるワクワクすることがあっても、バカンスは必要なのだ。日常をほんのひととき忘れるために。
