"塗り箸でナマコをはさむ"
2013年01月31日、上海にある上海蟹で有名なレストラン、凌瀧閣(凌泷阁)のナマコ料理。

"塗り箸でナマコをはさむ"という、難しい事を表すことわざが日本語にあるのを初めて知りました。ナマコはツルツルしていてかつとても弾力性があり、伝わるかわかりませんが、フォークで刺しても飛び抜けました。味は無味無臭!

Sea Slug Dish
01/31/2013, a sea slug dish in Ling Long Ge(凌泷阁), a famous Shanghai food restaurant.

I didn't know sea slugs are called also sea cucumbers. Some of their species do look like the vegetable. They get jiggly when cooked! and have little smell and flavor.

Illuminations of Yuyuan Tourist Mart
01/30/2013, at Yuyuan Tourist Mart in Huangpu District, Shanghai. Lunar New Year is the largest event in China. I saw many people preparing for that while I was taking pictures. The New Year of 2013 is on February 10th.
A Venetian Sunrise

A winter sunrise over the Basino di San Marco  and the Chiesa di San Giorgio Maggiore taken from the Piazzetta, just next to the Palazzo Ducale (the Doge’s Palace). Fortunately, at that time of the year the sun rises at around 7 AM and my hotel was just at a two minutes’ walk from Saint Mark’s Place so I didn’t need to wake up earlier than 6:30 AM to get that image.

Although everything may look pretty quiet, the Piazzetta is rather crowded already at sunrise during the Carnival, mostly by people posing with their stunning disguises for dozens of photographers like myself :-)
