今天是 2025 年 7 月 3 日,阳光明媚。7 月 7日是日本的七夕。今天早上,在露露岛上,我两次去了提姆霍顿斯咖啡馆,先是点了燕麦奶冰咖啡,然后又点了草莓西瓜气泡饮配香肠卷。我还去了「蛤蜊寺」。路上,我瞥了一眼迷人的竹林。一位老人在竹林旁挖了几个坑,用吃剩的芒果和樱桃堆肥。在咖啡馆里,我和格雷格聊了起来。格雷格是个白人,他梦想著和他的日本妻子在北海道钏路开一家民宿。那里的特色是当地的阿伊努族人和沼泽地。今天,剃著光头的格雷格穿著米色 T 恤和米色短裤,也许带著一丝恰巴卡诺酒的韵味?jīn tiān shì 2025 nián 7 yuè 3 rì, yáng guāng míng mèi。7 yuè 7 rì shì rì běn de qī xī。 jīn tiān zǎo shàng, zài lù lù dǎo shàng, wǒ liǎng cì qù le tí mǔ huò dùn sī kā fēi guǎn, xiān shì diǎn le yàn mài nǎi bīng kā fēi, rán hòu yòu diǎn le cǎo méi xī guā qì pào yǐn pèi xiāng cháng juǎn。 wǒ hái qù le 「gé lí sì」。 lù shàng, wǒ piē le yī yǎn mí rén de zhú lín。 yī wèi lǎo rén zài zhú lín páng wā le jǐ gè kēng, yòng chī shèng de máng guǒ hé yīng táo duī féi。 zài kā fēi guǎn lǐ, wǒ hé gé léi gé liáo le qǐ lái。 gé léi gé shì gè bái rén, tā mèng xiǎng zhù hé tā de rì běn qī zǐ zài běi hǎi dào chuàn lù kāi yī jiā mín sù。 nà lǐ de tè sè shì dāng dì de ā yī nǔ zú rén hé zhǎo zé dì。 jīn tiān, tì zhù guāng tóu de gé léi gé chuān zhù mǐ sè T xù hé mǐ sè duǎn kù, yě xǔ dài zhù yī sī qià bā kǎ nuò jiǔ de yùn wèi?

It's a sunny 3rd of July of 2025. On the 7th will be the Star Festival—Tanabata—in Japan. This morning, here on Lulu Island, I strolled to Tim Hortons café twice—Iced Coffee with oat milk, then Strawberry Watermelon Sparkling Quencher with a Sausage Farmer's Wrap. I went to the "Clam Temple." On the way, I glanced at the charming bamboo grove. An old man had dug holes beside it to put compost—eaten mangoes and cherries. At the café, I spoke to Greg, the white man who eventually wants to own a B&B in Kushiro, Hokkaido, with his Japanese wife. The native Ainu and marshes are attractions there. Today, head-shaven Greg is wearing a beige T-shirt and beige shorts—maybe a hint of Chabacano?
