#6 A Good Restaurant in Kobe

I know the restaurants only in Kobe... I mean in Sannomiya.

First of all, I recommend a Sushi-bar, which named "Sushi no Sasuke." I don't know if it's famous or not, but this is a good sushi restaurant. I've been there only twice or three times, because sushi in this restaurant is a little bit expensive compare to 100-yen sushi restaurant. So, I forget what this restaurant is like... But I think you will write what you want on a little piece of paper, and give it to the staff. Then you can eat sushi. Please go here at least once!

They open everyday except Wednesday from 11:30 to 22:00.

I forget the taste a little bit, but I remember they're delicious, and also fresh! I wish I can go there again sometime.

#5 A Trip I Took Recently

I went on a bus tour with my best friend in March. It was a mystery tour, which means we don't know where we will go. So, it was an exciting tour!!
Before we decided which trip to choose, the tourism said in the information, "we will bring you to a World Heritage site, and you can stay in a hotel which has a great hot spring!" Then we decided to go!
Actually it was fun trip, because we can't guess where we're going.

We went Fukui, Ishikawa, and Toyama prefecture, and visited some tourist spots.
The first & second picture is a traditional style of Japanese architecture. It's called "a Gassho-zukuri house." I liked them because they were cool looking building!











The man on the last picture is coating Japanese(Chinese) lacquer. The lacquer is called "Urushi." He said that he need to paint it again and again to finish making one. So, he paints first, then dries it, and paint it again. It seems tough.
It was interesting to see.










This trip was totally different from the other trips which I've done before. But, it was fun! So, I want to do this kind of trip again.

#4 My home town!!

I live in a small town. It's not a countryside though.
My hometown used to have lots of nature. There was rice fields, a river with many fishes and etc. I used to play near the river in Summer with my friends. But now, although we still have the river, the bottom part is covered with concrete, and I don't like it... They still continue to maintenance the river now.

There is an elementary school next to my house. It takes about 5 min. to get to school on foot, and 2 or 3 min. if I run.

We have some supermarkets, some restaurants, rental VHS/DVD shops, and etc. But we don't have bookstore. So, I hope someone make one.
What's else I can talk about my hometown... Maybe that's it... :)

#3 My Future, and The Dream Jobs

I'm interested in studying the differences of languages; especially English and Japanese.
I can't speak smooth when I speak Japanese, and I thought why it happens. Then I found that I concentrate too much about how to speak, and not what to talk about.
That's why I can't speak Japanese naturally with a stranger or some elder people.
Through that experience, now I want to study, or research about that kind of thing in the college. It could be interesting.

Secondly, My future job is to be an English teacher in Japan. I want to tell how fun it is. Oh, to work in the LEGO company is the another dream job what I want to do. I don't know what I can do there though...

They're my future dreams!

#2 The Experience Which Changed My Life

I didn't like English when I was in junior high school, and I had a question in my mind;
"Why should I learn English? I won't go abroad in the future!!"
So, I didn't study English hard. But, that was a mistake... Because, I had a school trip to Canada for a few weeks. Of course I couldn't speak English when I went to Canada. I still regret about that. But after I went to Canada and talked with native English speakers, I thought English is fun. I don't know why... It is strange, isn't it?
So, the trip to Canada gave me a totally different sight for English.

Before I became to like English, I had almost no hope or dream. But through that experience, I want to be an English teacher now. I know it is a hard job... But I'll try!

#1 First impression of the college life!!!

My first impression of college is "It's fun!" Because, I can take any classes I want to study. No math, and no science and...
I was very nervous when I enter the university, and I am still now although I'm getting used to it.
Anyways, I'm making my schedule for college now, and I'm very struggled with that. It's very different from high school to make my own schedule.
I have classes on the 5th period most of the day. So, I usually get home around 8pm. So, I'm pretty sleepy. Maybe I'll sleep in on Saturday and Sunday!
I can't imagine what's gonna happen in this 4 years. I'm pretty excited!!
