Riding back from Tarumi, I stopped to look at a shrine, and I found this tiny glass bottle. It looks old (it has thick seams (継ぎ目), & the glass contains small bubbles). I think it`s for eye drops (目薬).
Vocabulary:
small: 小さな
tiny: 小っちゃな
I caught a one-car train from Ogaki to a small town in the mountains called Tarumi, then rode my bicycle back from there. I stopped to have lunch by the Neo River, under a rail bridge. The train crossed it while I was there, so I was able to take a nice photo. There was a lot of nice scenery, so I often stopped riding and took photos. I want to go there again.
Grammar
stop + 動詞ing = (動詞)〜するのを止める
stop to + 動詞 = (動詞)〜するために止まる
Last weekend I watched the original (1986) 'Top Gun' on TV with my kids. My first son really enjoyed it, so I might take him to see the new sequel, 'Top Gun: Maverick' at the cinema. I hear it`s good. I haven`t been to the cinema for ages*.
Although I enjoyed seeing Top Gun again, now I have the song, “Danger Zone” stuck in my head. lol
