Fight and Defend

I had Russian food for lunch in Kichijoji today.

The borscht soup was delicious. I enjoyed them very much.

So that, it reminds me another traditional Russian style restaurant in Beijing named

-The Moscow Restaurant.

I used to go to there when I was in Beijing . It wasn’t far from my home.

Actually The Moscow Restaurant is not as attractive to young people,

who prefer more fashionable and fancy Western restaurants.

Because it opened in 1954 and

owing to the Soviet Union's considerable influence on China at the time.

But I just liked the exotic food and old-fashioned atmosphere there.

Come’n have a taste!

As always, good soundtrack must catch the spirit of the film.

I remember the first time I watched the opening scenes of

Wim Wender's road film - "Paris, Texas"(1984),

The first shot is an odd man who has no past, no future,

with a bright red baseball cap walking alone in the desert.

The soundtrack by Ry Cooder,

Ry Cooder’s bottleneck blues just matched with the image of desert perfectly.

I was surprised the theme soundtrack "Dark Was The Night"

made me lost in the film, just like the man lost in the rustic landscape.

No other musician can tell story like Ry Cooder with his bottleneck guitar.

He's a genius with a slide guitar.
