I usedn't to be able to enjoy coffee so much when I was much younger because it would give me headaches. It still does occasionally, but it seems to have stopped bothering me anymore. I'm also a tea lover and always have a cup of tea or two in the morning, but good coffee makes me smilie :) I sat down for a nice cup of coffee just then and it seems to make me feel calm.

P.S.
After doing this post I realised that this may be my last post before Christmas. In Japan we don't get the Christmas holidays and everyone works both on the 24th and 25th (though we celebrate it, or rather just party around with friends and lovers), so I will still be running around crazy trying to get all the work and other stuff done breathless for the next god-knows-how-many-more-days.
I hope all of you will have a very warm "merry christmas" and wonderful holidays :)

  1. What a lovely post, it put me in the mood for a good coffee. I live in Italy, and good coffee is not hard to find. But I spend the Christmas season in Germany, and I have no idea where I could get decent coffee.
    I might just have to go to the tea house instead!

    Enjoy your Christmas!

  2. Thanks for your good wishes, Hiki. I will be having a warm Christmas, literally - here in South Africa the temp can reach between 28 and 34 degrees C almost every day, except for when we have a thundershower, which cools the air deliciously. Hope your work goes well and is not too exhausting, and merry Christmas and happy holidays to you too!

  3. i love coffee in japan as there are some people who really really know what they are doing, especially the old men in kisatens.
    i wish good coffee was easy to find in hong kong, it gives me a headache every morning not being able to have a good cup!

    I got that bunny latte in a cafe called medio cafe in jiyugaoka, but I have never got the same one after going back there many times!
    I wish I could have that again!!
