There are several big trees planted in the yard, and there are cute sunny dolls hanging on the tree, as well as postcards and messages left by travel friends from all over the world here. The bookstore also provides coffee. Sunshine 🌞 is scattered between the gap between the leaves and the colorful warp. So this afternoon, I took a selected book and spent a long time in the warm sunshine and the aroma of coffee... 💁🏻‍♀️ The taste of freshly ground coffee here is not lost. To Starbucks 👍🏻, of course, it may be that my mood has changed. Seeing that everything here is beautiful 💕. Buy a cup of coffee and give a postcard that you can choose at will.
