I have one my rule, where I can eat ramen late at night whenever I drink alchole. In accordance with this rule, I ate instant ramen at 11PM today after enjoying drinking with my colleagues. I'm not sure why, but this action reminded me of Miyoshi ramen in Kyoto suddenly this time. Currently, I'm eager for Japanese authentic ramen. As soon as I go back to Japan, I would like to make a ramen travel plan in Kyoto.
Life in Germany
Update of my glasses
Recently, I noticed my insurance contract in Germany covers a cost for glasses. According to my contract, it can compensate up to €200. That is why I decided to buy new glasses before going back to Japan. Actually, my current glasses are too old. I bought them when I was a high school student, which means I have used them for more than 10 years. I finally got a motivation to update my glasses.
I asked my local colleagues for advice regarding a optical store and I decided to go to one of their recommendations. I visited it today and the store was good. It was not crowded and the staff was so kind. However, I made one big mistake. When I went there, I was wearing contact lens. According to the staff, it is necessary to wait for at least one hour after taking off contact lens in order to measure correct eyesight. I visited the store at 1PM and the store is closed at 2PM. I was too late. All I was able to do is to make a reservation for next time. Anyway, I will go there again next weekend and I hope I can make nice new glasses.
Prediction
阪神大賞典（GII、阪神、芝3000m）
My favorite : ③Justin Palace (Odds : 2nd)
・In this race, ①Boldog Hos and ③Justin Palace are gathering most votes. It makes sense because both of them ran well in similar races last year. Considering their handicap, ①Boldog Hos is lighter than ③Justin Palace by 1kg. On the other hand, in terms of their jockey, Lemaire-san (③Justin Palace) looks better than Kawada-san (①Boldog Hos) because it is said that Kawada-san is not good at this kind of long-distance race. In conclusion, I decided to place importance on jockeys and select ③Justin Palace as my favorite.
・ I bought the following TRIFECTA tickets.
Betting ticket
Total : ¥1,000
スプリングステークス（GIII、中山、芝1800m）
My favorite : ⑮Seven Magician (Odds : 2nd)
・When I took a look at the participants in this race, my first impression was there are many front runners. In this case, they are often exhausted earlier because they have to use more energy to keep a good position. Therefore, I think it is better to select my favorite from horses who like running in a rear position. Among such horses, ⑮Seven Magician seems to be the best candidate because he already has experience of graded races.
・For the same reason, I would like to bet on ②Metal Speed and ⑨Ice Green as well.
・I bought the following QUINELLA tickets.
Betting ticket
Total : ¥1,000
Total in 2023 : -18,500 (JPY)
Collection rate : 40.3%
Hitting rate : 3.3% (1/30)
