Kitchenware

At a supermarket near my university.

Although I do know what this word means, the sound of it always makes me feel as if it referred to an apron rather than tools used for cooking. There is an excuse for this: the sounds of 'ware' and 'wear' are identical.

Before capturing this I was at one of my friends' house, who had stayed at Vladivostok, Russia, during the summer holiday. She showed me a picture book written in Russian as in the extra photo, and even taught me how to read some bits of it. It was fun to take a look at the language I nevertheless had no idea of. Also added was a photo of a lovely path along the river nearby her house, which I had not known.
