Africa experience – 【Tanzania】Very impressive Tingatinga

 I visited Tanzania about 5 years ago. Africa was an unknown world to me as I had never been there before. Tanzania is home to Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m). Many wild animals live in nature reserves and national parks. Unlike at the zoo, seeing wild animals directly was impressive and very moving.    We also visited the Tingatinga workshop in Dar es Salaam, the commercial center. It began when Edward Said Tinga Tinga used enamel paint to paint on building materials. It is characterized by freely depicting nature such as animals and plants in very vivid colors.

Asia experience – 【Hong Kong】Memories of dim sum

 In the 1990s, I had many opportunities to travel to Hong Kong for work. I also went sightseeing in my spare time from work, but I can’t miss the “Million Dollar Night View.” You can enjoy the night view, which is considered one of the three great night views in the world. There are also many restaurants offering delicious Chinese cuisine.  My wife and I went on a trip to Hong Kong in the late 1990s. We went to a Chinese restaurant for lunch and ordered some dim sum. I’ve eaten dim sum many times and found it to be delicious. However, my wife said many times that it was so delicious! ‘I remember eating it happily. (Image: Dim sum)
