Travel Tips

It was a perfect spring (or early summer) day today. An outdoors type as I am, I went out for a daily walking around Lake Yogo (余呉湖), with a short sleeve T-shirt and Jeans.
Since we were able to find many kind of flowers in bloom, we felt like we were walking around a huge botanical garden.
