"Flying Hamburger"

Hello!
News for everyone!

A flying hamburger, not a flying carpet, has been spotted on Layout.
Here's a really strange rug.

Flying carpet

When you hear the word "carpet," some people may imagine a "flying carpet" or a "magic carpet."
I find it quite mysterious that carpets (rugs) are extremely familiar tools closely tied to the lives of nomads, yet are also associated with the unrealistic image of magically flying objects.

Of course, Aladdin was not the first to feature this flying carpet; it appears in the 949th night of the original "The Thousand and One Nights."
This story is also known as the Arabian Nights, which sounds quite good, but why did it have to continue for a thousand nights? We won't go into detail here, but if you want to know the truth, be sure to check it out!

The Tales of One Thousand and One Nights, which seem to be full of romantic episodes, are based on a book written in medieval Persian during the Sassanid period.

I've digressed, but what I wanted to introduce today is a rug depicting a town where a "flying hamburger" appears, something that unfortunately would not have existed during the Sassanid period.

Clearly a hamburger

Please see here first.

A strange hamburger floating gently in the air.
It's not a voluminous type like a Big Mac, but looks like a very standard hamburger.
It doesn't even have my favorite cheese in it.

In Aladdin, the hamburger flies through the sky on a carpet, romantically overlooking the city at night, but this hamburger appears to fly quietly through the sky after everyone has gone to sleep.

Probably no one has ever seen it.

What is this town?

With rows of red trees, large colorful houses and mountains in the background, it looks like a rural European town.

Just the other day I read a book about a port town called Malmö in the southern tip of Sweden.
The glossy navy blue pile looks like the sky and the sea, making it feel like a port town.
I've never been there, but I imagine it's a wonderful place...

Beautifully framed

Burgers aside, this rug has a beautiful frame.

The regular geometric patterns in beige and brown are arranged like a beautiful wooden frame carved by hand by an artisan.
The design of this frame is simple yet beautiful, making the rug look like a painting.

It's so much fun to hang rugs on the wall like you would a beautiful picture.
However, I also want to remember that rugs can be used on the floor.

Comfort is an important factor when choosing a rug

Soft, shiny and smooth wool.
The thick pile will make your feet feel happy.
This is my favorite type.

What is considered comfortable varies from person to person; some prefer a smooth feel on the skin, while others prefer a shiny feel.
Just like choosing the material and comfort of your clothes, it's fun to choose a rug that suits your comfort.

The more I look at it, the more I like it

The lag is very strange.
The longer I look at it, the more I like it.
A story that no one knows about, that is unique to me, begins to unfold, stimulating my imagination.
Even though it's such a lovely port town, hamburgers are flying everywhere.
How cute! This is how you grow to love them.
