Uncoupling the containers signals that we’re getting close to port

次の日の朝１０時ごろ、運送用コンテナを止めていたワイヤーがはずされました。やっと、港が近いと分かりました。

It’s about 10 am, about 24 hours into the boat trip, when I notice this worker uncoupling the containers. We must be arriving in port soon. Behind the worker and the containers, that’s a lot of ocean!

Small potted plants on bamboo bench in Golden Gai

ゴールデン街の朝、竹ベンチの上に、きれいな植木鉢が見えます。

It was fun to visit Golden Gai during the morning, with all the micro-bars closed and few people around. I love the well-kept potted plants on this bamboo bench.
