今天是 2025 年 7 月 3 日,阳光明媚。7 月 7日是日本的七夕。今天早上,在露露岛上,我两次去了提姆霍顿斯咖啡馆,先是点了燕麦奶冰咖啡,然后又点了草莓西瓜气泡饮配香肠卷。我还去了「蛤蜊寺」。路上,我瞥了一眼迷人的竹林。一位老人在竹林旁挖了几个坑,用吃剩的芒果和樱桃堆肥。在咖啡馆里,我和格雷格聊了起来。格雷格是个白人,他梦想着和他的日本妻子在北海道钏路开一家民宿。那里的特色是当地的阿伊努族人和沼泽地。今天,剃着光头的格雷格穿着米色 T 恤和米色短裤,也许带着一丝恰巴卡诺酒的韵味?It's a sunny 3rd of July of 2025. On the 7th will be the Star Festival—Tanabata—in Japan. This morning, here on Lulu Island, I strolled to Tim Hortons café twice—Iced Coffee with oat milk, then Strawberry Watermelon Sparkling Quencher with a Sausage Farmer's Wrap. I went to the "Clam Temple." On the way, I glanced at the charming bamboo grove. An old man had dug holes beside it to put compost—eaten mangoes and cherries. At the café, I spoke to Greg, the white man who eventually wants to own a B&B in Kushiro, Hokkaido, with his Japanese wife. The native Ainu and marshes are attractions there. Today, head-shaven Greg is wearing a beige T-shirt and beige shorts—maybe a hint of Chabacano?
