今朝、スタバへ行くと、紙コップが季節色に変わっていた。
カナダ(というか北米全般か)では、ハロウィンが終わるとすぐにクリスマス色に変わるのである。

今年の秋は、あまり寒くもなく、雨も降らず、比較的穏やかなので、近づきつつある厳寒の冬を忘れていた。

円高に歯止めがかからない。
日本に帰る予定で、自分サイズが見つかり易い日本でいろいろと揃えようと思っていたのだ。

成人式のスーツを別にして、二十歳から今の歳になるまで、スーツを購入したことがない(苦笑)。必要がなかったからなのだが、そろそろ、体に合うスーツを作っておきたいものだ思い出したのがこの2、3年。

消耗品で僕の生活に欠かせない眼鏡は大好きな店で買うとして、超円高なので、また次回にしようと思っている。

残念だなぁ。


Here comes the seasonal merchandise.

When I bought a cup of coffee at the Starbucks this morning, I noticed the different design of the paper cup. In Canada (well, in North America in general), retails start to decorate for Christmas right after Halloween.

It has been a great autumn in Toronto – not much raining and not too cold. I intentionally forget that a real, cold winter is just around the corner.

Japanese yen is kept its value at crazy high.
I will be going back to Japan for a visit and I had been thinking what to buy in Japan where I can find my size more easily than in Toronto.

I have a suit only from the coming-of-age ceremony when I became 20 years old. Since then, I haven't bought a suit until now. Because I didn't need it, I didn't buy. Though, in these years, I started to think about having a suit that fits to my body well.

Yet, with this crazy high Japanese yen, I will buy a pair of glasses, that I need for my everyday life, at my favourite store, but I am giving up with buying a suit this time.

Oh well...
