My favorite magazines

You know I love traveling.

So I often read and see the guidebooks and photograph of travelling during travel to or from work.

A few years ago, I don't read Japanese magazines at all because they aren't interesting.
They show only fashion or ad...
As a result, Japanese magazines aren't sold among Japanese.
Some of them discontinued publication.

4 month ago, I found one magazine.

The magazine's title is "Mr partner".
The magazines are written about England.



According to the magazine's article, one woman had started to make a magazine's company when she was 28 years old.

When she was 18 years, she had been to UK for the fist time.
Then she loves UK and she often goes and stays in UK.

Then people who like UK or are interested in UK read the magazine "Mr partner".

If I had read the magazine before I went to UK, I might enjoy interesting places more.

Of course, I really enjoyed and I am satisfied.

While getting on the subways in the morning, I always read the magazine and enjoy imagining UK.
Funny?

And the articles of the magazine are so nice.
They are greater than Japanese guide book of UK.

For example,

- Most wonderful and best B&B

- The Cotswolds and farmers markets in UK

- Gardens of UK

- Wonderful shopping lists

- Immigration towns

- museums of England

- Manor Houses

In addition, the other articles are interesting for me.
For example, the government systems and Immigration of UK are written in the magazines.

I think young and old people enjoy this magazine.

Now, I am reading the magazine about summer of UK.
The articles are so interesting.

If it is possible, I will go to UK again.

Doctor 'Akahige'

Do you know Eugene Aksenoff?

This is a photo of him.



If you don't know him and you want to know about him more, please read this.

He is a special doctor in Tokyo and he is called 'Akahige'.

I knew him when I read the book that the nurse of his hospital had written for the first time.

Although he is 84 years now, he is still working and helping people. I respect him. When he was 18 years, he met Japanese Royal family. Japanese royal family said that he must go to Japan if he wants to be a doctor. Then he decided to go to Japan and studied Medical in Japanese college.

According to the book, he had worked hard in Japan to get money. Now, there is his hospital in Roppongi.

If you go to Roppingi, you see foreigners in there. Foreigners who can't speak Japanese go to the doctor's hospital.

Because the doctor speaks Japanese and English , Russian etc.

On the other hand, He goes to anywhere if somebody need medical treatment.

Dr.Akesenoff got the win of Eiji Yoshikawa pride in 1998.

The doctor is so famous among foreigners.

He met a lot of famous people and he fixed them.

For example,

- John Wayne
- Brad Pitt
- Michael Jackson
- Jacques Chirac
- Madonna etc

John Wayne is the first famous person that the doctor met.

When he had came to Japan to make the movie, he hurt his eyes. He asked his manager to fix his eyes. Joh Wayne was in Odawara of Kanagawa pref.

Although Doctor was in Tokyo, he got on the train for 3 hours at midnight. Finally, he arrived the hotel where John Wayne stayed. Then he tried to shoot the injection. But John Wayne was afraid of injections!!!

Doctor said that you must not be better without injections. Then John Wayne gave up and his eyes were better. After that, he thanked the doctor. When he came to Tokyo, he invited the doctor's family and they enjoyed having dinner.

But the doctor doesn't know famous movies stars and singers at all.

He doesn't often watch TV or movies because he is too busy. He reads only some newspapers and books every day.

If you read the book, you must laugh!

For example, the doctor didn't know about Brad Pitt. The nurse told the doctor that he is famous in the world. Then the doctor asked him to his job!!!

Brad Pitt said that he is working about the movie. Of course , Brad Pitt was so surprised.

I like the chapter about Michel Jackson especially.

Of course, the doctor didn't know him. He had always called from the luxury hotel. The request was helping one singer. The doctor and his nurse went to there and they met one singer.

Yes. That is Michel Jackson.

While fixing Michel Jackson, the room was dark without any lights. The doctor tried to open the curtain. But Michel Jackson didn't want to do that.

Michel Jackson was so tired. He must take a rest.

Of course , then the nurse shouted in the elevator. But the doctor didn't know why she was excited at all and he was calm.

She told him that he is a star and showed the dance of Michel Jackson to the doctor. Yes, dance was Moonwalk!!!

Anyway, Michel Jackson often meet the doctor when he visited in Tokyo. The doctor fixes his children, too.

They are friends since the doctor had fixed for the first time.

I like his character because he keeps helping poor foreigners. Even if they can't money, he fixes them without money.

I think it is right that he is called 'Akahige'.



What do you think about him?

My favorite music & book

Hi, could you enjoy your weekend? I could enjoy my weekend. By the way, I want to talk about my favirte music and the book. - Perfume

- Soba_ni_Iru_ne by Teruma Aoyama

- Together by MONKEY MAJIK


goo 音楽

I often listen their music at home. Of course, they are popular in Japan. Especially, I was so surprised because the members of "MONKEY MAJIK" are from Canada. But their Japanese is so great. If you listen to their song, you must think they are Japanese. When I listened to the song of them for the first time, I thought they were Japanese!! You can watch their lives on You tube. Please find it if you want to watch!



- The novels of Hideo Okuda

He is a famous writer. His works are popular now. The story is about the people suffering from troubles of their bodies. Then they went to the hospital of the main character Irabu doctor. If you read the books, you must be surprised because Irabu doctor is so eccentric and funny. Yes ,He looks like a child. But he helped people who suffering from troubles of the bodies. Then they could recover and solve their problems because of Irabu doctor. I think he is something! A few months ago, I knew him books for the first time. Then I really enjoyed his world.

Exactly, life always isn't perfect. Life is so difficult. But we must stand by ourselves and enjoy our lives. I don't like a sad story... After reading books, I feel strong and the books cheer me. I think it is enough that there are only a few people who understand me.



I found his English book. If you find it, please read it. I think you must think there is happiness around us and it is all right there we don't live all people. It is happy that there are only a few people who belive and understand us.

Now, I'm reading the English book "In the pool" in order to study English although I had read Japanese one.





Now, I have a friend who suffering from troubles. Then I told her about the novels of Okuda. After telling, she called me and she told me that she read the book. I think I will tell somebody who suffering from troubles.

Do you have any books like them?

Take down

I am reading a new book "take down" today". This book is about cyber crime. Although I just started reading this book,the story is very interesting. By the way, Yesterday was special day for me. Why? I talked Mike by Skype. Before talking with Mike, I was afraid that I couldn't speak English well and understand Mike's speaking because My english is not good and I can't speak English well. Then the time when I would talk with Mike came. I could enjoy talking with him for almost 1 hours. I think that he slowly talked to me because he is very kind and smart. Anyway,I really enjoyed speaking English. I really thank him so much.
