Flu Season

From three days ago, my father got flu… He had very high fever and strong pain all of his body. He looks very tired. He is on vacation now, so I don’t know it is good or bad. From yesterday, my mother said that she had a headache… maybe she’s going to get my father’s flu. My sister is always at home, so she is also in dangerous…. I am still ok, but I am really afraid of coming home and I can’t tell my family’s body conditions to my friends and co-workers! Should I tell them!?

Please be careful not to get flu!

Ijinnkan

On Christmas day, I visit Kobe Ijinnkan for the first time in my memory. My mother said that I have been there when I was very young with my family. However it was first time for me. There were many sloping road, so it was a little bit tiring. We went to Trick art museum. There were a lot of trick art in the museum for the name of building. I was very surprised and enjoyed looking them. After that we ate crape. Surprisingly, the shop existed more than 10 years ago. I became full by eating the crape. It was delicious. After that, we went china town and mosaic. I really enjoyed the day and I’ll never forget.

 

Nice Present♪

 

I got nice Christmas card from friend lives in America! She was 17 years old and she was used to study abroad in Japan and came to my high school about a month. When I was a high school student, I met a lot of foreign people. It was my high school’s good point and opportunity. She was really good speaker of Japanese. Although She visited Japan for the first time, she could do self-introduce, conversation and even read Chinese character. She joined our normal class such as world history and Japanese. My classmates were all surprised her ability. Our teachers were also surprised. She was very hard working and a little bit shy. She is Chinese American, so she could speak English, Japanese and Chinese. I know she can live everywhere in the world. Her dream is to be a doctor and I know her dream will come true.

 

 

 

Happy Friend ;)

 

Last week I met one of my friends from high school. She lives in Tokyo now, so I was very looking forward to seeing her. I hadn’t seen her about a month, but I met her as we met yesterday.  We went to Mexican food restaurant. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed talking about university lives, live in dormitory and family each other. AND, she got a boyfriend in a month!!! I super enjoyed listening her stories. After we ate lunch, we went Starbucks to have a cup of coffee. I enjoyed her story again. She looked so happy. Her happiness is also my happiness, so I was also very happy. She said that she is going to buy Christmas present for her boyfriend. I hope she chose nice one and he’ll like it ;)

 

 

20th Luminarie

 

I visited Luminarie with my friends the last day of Luminarie. 20 years have passed since Hanshin-Awaji earthquake, so this year was special year. The last day of Luminarie, there was special ceremony called ‘Syoutousiki’, many enemies walk together and sing Shiawasehakoberuyouni, which is song for the earthquake, after that, the light were all turned off. I saw the ceremony for the first time and I was very moved. Luinarie is very famous for one of illumination spot and dating spot. However, in fact, there are many old couple, single man and women and families. I mean so many people visit there to remain or not to forget the day, 17^th January 1995.

After I became a university student, I met a lot of people who are from various areas. In addition I noticed that the huge earthquake happened in Kobe is just its history. I was surprised and shocked. Then I decided to tell about that. I want everyone to be interested in the day.

 

 

Dinner with my teacher from high school

I ate out with my teacher from high school yesterday. She is a Spanish teacher. She works many high schools and universities. She also works at this university, so we could meet!

She has a Spanish boyfriend named Emilio. They met when she were in Spain as a Japanese teacher. He is very kind and always care about my teacher. I have never met him, but I saw him in the picture many times. They visit their each country many times. My teacher is very nice, funny and kind. I consulted with her many things such as long distance love and associating with foreigner. We had very good time eating Yakiniku. However, we ordered too much. We didn’t think the limit time. When the shop stuff came to us to say the finish time, there were still many meat. We were very surprised and ate in one sitting. Because of that, we had a stomachache and felt bad. I don’t want to eat yakiniku anymore for a long time. We also enjoyed talking in the train. She also lives in Kobe, so we could talk all the time. I was really happy being with her. I’m looking forward to meeting her again!
