This morning I took my daughter to the school and went to Shimoda downtown after thatn.

When I was driving in downtown I found out the dried fishes out of shop on the road.

I asked him to take pictures, and he told me that he waked up at 2:00 am every day.

"Every day?"

I said and he answered.

"Yes, because I have to start to make dried fishes to provide them to the travellers before noon."

"Really?"......

Today I went to Izukyu-Shimoda station and walked around in the station building to find out something interesting.

This is called "Shizuoka-cola." made in Shizuoka, Japan!

The taste was almost Coka Cola, but it includes the flovor of Japanese green tea.

Why don't you try this?

You can find out it at the shop in the station building, but unfortunately it is not cold.... .
