「請小心不要撞到頭。」我每次要經過一道門時，公共澡堂的員工都要反覆重複著說。
這是一週內第四次泡溫泉了。並不是特別喜歡溫泉，純粹是天氣太冷了。
Dogo Onsen (Japanese Bathhouse)
"Please watch your head," the staff said.
It's a very typical Japanese heritage that I had to bow my head to pass every. This public bathhouse was very famous because it's one of the oldest hotsprings in Japan. Almost every tourist would pay a visit.
The photo was the historial public bathhouse, Dogo Onsen Honkan, which was partially under maintenance but still open.
Swim in the morning
I had not arrived the pool before its open hours for a long time. There were only a few old men waiting. They signed on a booklet in turn. It's probably free for the elderly.
"Ah, for the public admission?" the staff did not expect a paid user. I was the only one paid.
The old men rushed in. Everyone was faster than me but an old man with a walking stick. I was worried that all lanes would be occupied when I arrived, but there was one left.
大阪的腳踏車
「大阪的腳踏車也太多了吧？」剛到大阪時傳訊息給當地的友人。
「對😂而且亂停。」友人回覆。
的確，事後回想起來，東京的腳踏車也很多，為什麼我沒有特別感受到？也許是腳踏車亂停的關係吧。
大阪的腳踏車亂停到什麼地步呢？並不是「亂」停，基本上都是緊密整齊地並排著，就像台灣停放機車一樣，只是都是出現在不應該出現的地方。大阪的難波站附近到處都有像照片中一樣的標誌，明確地告知禁止停放腳踏車。但是就像照片中的標誌一樣，都被無視了。
Bicycles in Osaka
"There are way too many bicycles!" I messaged to a local friend when I just arrived in Osaka.
"Yeah😂and they are not well parked," the friend replied.
Indeed, there are also many bicycles in Tokyo, but I did not feel the same way. Maybe it is the difference.
How the bicycles in Osaka are not "well" parked? Actually, just like the scooters in Taiwan, they are well aligned and packed. But, both are parked in the prohibited area. The following photo is an example of the sign clearly indicating that parking bicycles is prohibited. There are such signs all around Nanba station in Osaka. But, just like the example, nobody takes it seriously.
