Cafe and the encounter is very similar to the encounter with people. And meet as matchmaking, and meet in the manner of love. Also in love in matchmaking, it would be the same once you met? But there is also the idea of the total amount of the "story" that is included in the there's still different from like.
The encounter, such as matchmaking, to go out to a cafe to read the information in the magazine and guide books. It comes with the approximate idea because previously have read the opponent's personal statement, for better or worse, not be brought into too much surprised. At best, actually was surprisingly narrow is but appeared widely in the photograph, but much there is a surprise that such. Peace of mind and is not thing so much peace of mind speaking.
Sometimes get take me as "because I found a good cafe" to a friend. Encounter the so-called "in the introduction of a friend." If the recommendation of friends you know well here of preference, the probability that this method can meet the most compatible with a good cafe might be high. However, it is "Life is a box © Forrest Gump of chocolate". Chocolate nor cafe life, do not know until you open the lid. Nor even if perfection is personal statement, even if friend me recommended enthusiastic, only the compatibility of air and your drifting in there, I never know if I actually went.
Well, the story of love that make someone's heart race, Toka or aeration on a street corner, I saw from the window of the bus in the inherent accidentally factors such as shine, I'm would not know the difference between chance and fate every time you think But, it is in any case, like so as to fall into a café and love, there to play a chance (or fate) encounter.
たとえば、カフェをみつけることを念頭において街を歩き、その願いがかなってカフェに遭遇する場合。ショッピングに歩き回ってすっかり脚が疲れてしまったり、散歩の途中でふとカプチーノが飲みたくなったりしたとき、カフェに入ろうと思って街を見渡し、嗅覚が導いてくれるままに進んでいって良いカフェを発見したときの嬉しさときたら！
Sense of smell to locate a cafe. It is to stage a city that has been filled with artifacts, might be modest wild things like that barely can be exhibited. Blunting to mobilize the kind of tend to the five senses and the sixth sense, loud until the color group of buildings and the noise that was attached a sign of nowhere in the area that do not hear the subsequent prospect, the game to find a cozy quiet spatial .
And become more comfortable, a kind of intuition to detect the cafe is born. Alley than the main street. Upstairs from the first floor of the building. If I look up the top when you had me at a loss among the hustle and bustle, there is that one of the buildings of the window are Tomo' the warm colors of light. If you feel a hint of the smell of music of the signs and coffee to the window, should I up sure a small sign of the entrance of the building.

Those are who are of that curious people, find the light leaking from Mezatoku windows passing by on the sidewalk below, opened the door to come up the stairs of the building, some people ask, "Is this a cafe?" that it did not stand the later. There is a room of a borrower is mischief of the building, and since it was a favorite person of delicious things, was eventually led to open the place really as a cafe.
Even without the adventurous thing up there, sign of easy-to-understand cafes are studded in the street corner. For example, a small blackboard that has come out at the entrance of the building.Cafe Apres-midiEncounter with even the blackboard was a beginning. Blackboard that was put down cafe menu is often also or have propped up on top of the old chair. One wheel wildflowers is in the casual elegance on top of the chair, if you or each other and inserted into a thin glass bottle, a sign of destination discovery suddenly lights up.
