Semi-retirement

“The view of “Matterhorn” from “Zermatt”” When I looked above the beautiful mountains of Alps, I felt it was earthy paradise. Then I thought “I’m looking forward enjoying “Colombia” next” Anyway it is hot. I went *Sento at the same time that it opened. The temperature of bathtub is so high and I thought I couldn't stay there so long. I left the Zermatt quickly and I went to “Colombia”. I ordered “hot coffee” and enjoy reading the rest of Comic book *“Vagabond”. There was no TV no newspaper and my mobile phone didn't ring. When I was 28 I had quit the job and I enjoyed my semi-retirement life a year elegantly. I enjoyed during I had job and worked whole year. I also enjoyed during I had no job and didn't work at all. The common thing between both is there is no work and rest.

Let's feel you are in paradise. Best wishes to you! 

*Sento is Japanese bath house. The wall of bathing area was painted and most often this is Mount Fuji. But some bath house painted European landscape.
