Not so special weekend as for me in the famous forest.
有名な森のなかで、僕にとってはとくになんでもない週末

(I will write this entry in English. I would appreciate asking me what was you didn't understand clearly. Thank you in advance.)

I woke up late in this morning since I rarely drank much with our colleagues. One of them will leave us to Malaysia.

I went on a jog as usual although it was a bit late morning. When I visit a famous forest Tadasu no Mori, the World Heritage Site I saw a rare billboard in front of the forest.

It showed that a sound festival would held there. I… I would have other event that day. I thought I could not join the musical event…

After praying at the Shimogamo Shrine I was go back to home. I saw an red Mama bicycle of which logo was Petei Mama. It has two child seats and also set Zabuton on both sides. Then I met the family in the forest.

After that I saw another billboard in front of Kawai Shrine. I noticed that the first concert would be held in such a traditional shrine… It was a shame…
