The places where you want to go

At last night, I watched one interesting documentary program on TV. It was about foreigners who visited in Japan and stayed the guest house.

A man who came from England 3 years ago has lived in the guest house and he works as an English teacher by the working visa. At first, he had a dream. But his dream couldn't come true in Japan. He said that he must think his life again because he is 29 years.

Other man came to France. He has been to Japan many times. After he makes money in Frech, he comes to Japan every year. His dream is to be a photographer in French and to work at the French newspaper companies. When he stays in Japan, he takes photos of Japan.

A man from America goes to Akihabara every day in order to play games at the game centers. He said that there aren't game centers like Japan in his country. He enjoys playing games at the games centers.

Some of foreigners save money like foods when they stay in Japan. Because they want to go to Roppongi and enjoy the nights in Roppongi.

Very interesting.

When I go to other countries, I often go to the supermakert. I want to feel the life of the countries. When I was in 20s, I often go to Duty free's shops in order to buy things cheaper than Japan. But recently, I don't often go to there.

Where do you go if you visit in Japan?

How will YouTube change?

I woke up at 3 am although I didn't set the alarm of the clock.

By the way, there was a big news today.

Google bought YouTube



Since a few months, I had read the news about YouTube had been looking for the companies that would buy YouTube. Finally, Google bought YouTube.

Before Google bought YouTube, I had uploaded the video on Google video and YouTube because I thought YouTube had been trying to find a way to run the service as money. That is right. I had prepared to upload other website if YouTube might be finished. But I don't need to upload YouTube and Google video now for now.

I am very interested in the service of YouTube more.

The Commercial message "Boss"

I like these CM.









Because these express funny Japanese cultures well.

Do you know them?

Do you know them of this video?



Tonight, the this TV program "Furuhata ninzaburou" was broadcasted on TV. This was very popular in Japan. Of course now. I like this TV program so much because the storys were very good and the characters of the drama were very interesting. I laughed the main character and other character although the stories were about crimes.

I recommend this TV program.

The housework

Today is a holiday. I cleaned my room and washed the clothes.



If I have a duck like this video, I might like to clean the room and wash the clothes more.

SAW3

Do you want to watch "Saw3"? I read the news about that the movie "Saw3" won't be released in Japan. Before, I had watched "Saw" because my friend had told me that it was very scare. Yeah,I had been scared so much. If I watch "Saw3", I will feel fear and won't sleep at all.

When is good to start learning English?

I am taking a rest now.

I read some documents about an overseas education since yesterday. I am interested in the programs of studying Yoga and aromatherapy or getting a license of the teachers of Yoga now. Of course, studying of IT developer.

I think that it may be difficult to keep working as IT developer. Before, I could work without holidays for a month and I could work through the night in 20's. But I can't do that. I need holidays and sleep.

By the way, I saw the news about English language education in Japan. Some people tried to start English classes in the elementary schools. I think it is good. But Japanese government don't think it is good. I can't understand why they don't want to start.

We studied English language in the junior high school. But many of us can't speak English well. So some of people go to English language schools and study English by paying a lot of money. Funny. The system of Japanese educations may be wrong because we studied English and other in order to enter the colleges. The multiple-choice exam. If I have children, I want them to master practical English. So I wish that the systems of English language educations in schools will better.

When I was a junior high school, there were 2 teachers of English classes. They were very different. One teacher could speak English well and he used not only texts but also the videos of movies and books in the class. I like English since I was a child. I had gone to the private kindergarten school and I had studied English. For example, I and my brother learned English while playing and watching "Sesame Street". Of course I spoke easy English at that time because my mother said that. I thank my parents because I had a good time there.

So the time of studying English wasn't hard for me. But some of my friends in the junior high school didn't like English at all. If they learned only texts which were not interesting in the English class, they didn't study English at all and they didn't feel fun while the class.

We could enjoy English because of one teacher. He had gone to American in order to study abroad. So he knew interesting stories and other more than us. He showed us the movies and books and his stories in order to learn English and other cultures in the class or hear the speaking English . I really thank him. Because I might not study English and didn't feel fun when I was a junior high school if I didn't meet him .

Hawaii of Japan

Before, I had gone to Hawaii and I really enjoyed Hawaii. I wanted to live in Hawaii at that time. Hawaii is one of the place I love.

By the way, I want to watch one Japanese movie now.

"Hula Girls"(The website of English is this)



This movie is a true impression story about "Joban Hawaiian center" and people supported a born of "Joban Hawaiian Center". Please look at this if you want to know more. This movie exhibited at the Academy Award best Foreign Language Film Award section as a Japanese representative. The website of Toronto International film is this. I have never been to Joban Hawaiian Center yet. But I want to watch this movie.

Oden

Do you know Oden?

Oden's season is coming now. It may be only me.

I like Oden. I want to eat Oden on the cold days.

After going to the Yoga studio, I left home and I bought Oden. Yes, I am going to eat Oden. I especially like Atsuage of Tofu,Sliced Daikon,Konnyak. Konnyaku is good for a diet too.

Bad cold

I am still coughing and I was said that I look pale yet by co-workers.

I took days off until yesterday. After I had worked on Saturday, I felt worse. But I had to go to the library to rent some books of Yoga and novels. After that, I had gone back to my home and slept for all day.

Anyway, I am better now. By the way, I can't do somepose of Yoga yet.(Tree Pose Vrksasana)

By the way, what do you eat when you have a cold?

I often eat hot Japanese noodle "Udon" and rice porridge "Okayu" when I have a cold.

When I was a child, my mother made hot Japanese noodle "Udon" with boiled eggs and onions. But at this time, I couldn't make them at all. So I ate only rice with Nattou since last saturday.



I found this website. If you eat Nattou, you may be surprised at the smell of Nattou.

Tarako

Once, I wrote about the CM's song that is popular in Japan. These girl sang the song.



When I watched the one TV program, the crew of BBC came to their live in order to have an interview with them.

Someday, You may watch them on TV.

Do you always practice abdominal breathing?

I wanted to do Hot Yoga again. Then I decided to go to Yoga on Friday. As soon as it was 6:30 pm, I left my office and got on the subway.

I arrived at the Yoga studio and I enjoyed doing Hot Yoga for 1 hour. When I done Hot Yoga for the first time, I couldn't do the method of Yoga "abdominal breathing". I didn't know that it is important to breathe from the abdomen while doing Yoga.

After doing Yoga at previous time, I had checked some websites of Yoga. Then I knew it for the first time. Then I sometimes practiced abdominal breathing even while working and getting on the subways.

Prepare Yoga lesson alone

Anyway, I could breathe from the abdomen yesterday because I had practiced abdominal breathing . It was very hard to take difficult poses while doing the method of Yoga. In addition, the temperature of the studio is 95-100 degrees. But I tried to keep doing the method of Yoga breathing.

Because of doing the Yoga breathing's method , I broke a sweat more than before. The teacher said that it is most important to keep doing the method of Yoga breathing while doing poses of Yoga. I agree with it. And we don't practice abdominal breathing in our personal lives at all. We use only noses while breathing.

I will study the poses of Yoga at tonight and tomorrow and I will try to do poses of Yoga at home. I can understand why many people like Yoga and want to do Yoga after I tried to do Hot Yoga 2 time. If you can make your rooms maintained at a temperature of 95-100 degrees and you can look at the websites of Yoga or look at this video, you can do Hot Yoga at once.



I couldn't do this pose while practicing abdominal breathing.

Could you do this pose while practicing abdominal breathing?

Are there any sweets and snacks on your desks?

I read the website about the method of Yoga breathing on the net. I will try doing the method of Yoga at the next time.

By the way, I couldn't eat lunch yesterday.

Going on a diet?

No!!!

I didn't have any money because I left my wallet at my home. I noticed it before I went to buy a lunch box. But I didn't need to put up with the hunger because of some snacke and sweets.

Chocolate from Mike and rice crackers "O-Senbei".Mike,Thank you!

. I was lucky. But I ate more!!! Yeah,I know that it is my fault because I like chocolates and rice crackers.

If there is a box of rice crackers, I must eat them at once.haha. Be careful because you may eat more if there are delicious sweets and snacks around you.

New drama

Recenlty, I couldn't enjoy watching Japanese dramas at all because there weren't any interesting dramas. But since next month, new dramas will be broadcasted on TV.



The drama that I want to watch is this. I like Tsuyoshi Kusanagi. If you live in Korea, you may know him because he can speak Korean and he is known for Korean very well.

I like his dramas "The Way I Live" "When I Fall in Love", "The Way We Live", before. So I will watch a new drama "My road(or My way?)" on next month. Of course I look forward to the season 3 of "LOST".

After doing Hot yoga

Yesterday, I done Hot yoga for 1 hours at the Yoga studio. It was an amazing experience for me. After changing into clothes ,I felt hot and sweat a great deal as soon as I entered the studio. Please read this if you want to know more. So we have to prepare the water of 1 liter and drink water while doing Yoga. I finished drinking the water of 1 liter before finishing the class. So I may prepare more water at the next time.

While doing Yoga, I noticed that it is difficult to master a method of breathing of Yoga. And I couldn't take some pouses of Yoga.

But after doing Yoga, I felt my body was lighter and the calmness of my mind.

Although I had a cold and a fever, I really relaxed and felt good after doing Yoga. When I left the studio after taking a shower, I wanted to walk and feel the wind of air. So I walked a little. It was very nice. I think that it was true that Doing Yoga has a relaxing effect.

If it is possible, I want to go to the Hot Yoga studio and do Hot yoga every day. Of course I decided that I will keep doing Yoga at the Yoga studio and I will try doing Yoga at my home by myself.

Yoga?

I got a day off of work today.Because I have a cold now.

I am sorry that I finally used all my precious paid days off lost.haha.

When I got up at the morning of yesterday, I felt a fever and a headache. Then I went to the office and my condition was worse. I couldn't get a day off of work because I had to attend one meeting. (I will write about it.)

While the night of yesterday, I couldn't sleep at all because I couldn't stop coughing. When I have sick or colds, I often think I need my family. Because I have to make meals even if I have a fever.

Anyway,I could take a rest although I am feeling a headache and having a fever. By the way, I will go to one place even if I will have a fever tomorrow.

Where?

Yoga!!!

I have been interested in Yoga for a few years. There are many Yoga studios. But I didn't have any chance to go to Yoga. Before, my friend went to Yoga. She said that Yoga is very good for health and mental. She could relax and refresh because of Yoga .Before she had been suffering from atopic dermatitis. When she had worked hard, Her skin had been worse. I heard that stress and bad foods cause atopic dermatitis. It is true that Yoga can be relaxing, even better for your health.

About 2 week ago, I looked at the website of Hot Yoga on the net and I made a reservation of Hot Yoga class. If I pay 1000 yen tomorrow, I can do Hot Yoga 2 times until this month.

Why don't companies recommend that employees do Yoga?

If many companies recommend that employees do yoga and offer yoga studio as welfare program near an office, the employee's stress may disappear.

Only me?

Schools and programs,and money!!!

I have kept looking at the websites of schools in abroad for weeks.

Yes, I have an itch to study abroad. Yesterday, I talked about it with my family and friends. They agreed with me. In addition, I don't feel any satisfactions and passions,love from my work and company.

The programs and prices of schools are different and there are many various programs.(learning IT, Tourism,Gerdening,aromatherapy,bussiness etc) I was interested in some programs and some schools. I will look for their informations on the net.

I need at least 1,000,000 yen if I study abroad for 1 year. Of course I would like to do that for 1 year in order to master English.

There are intern programs in some of schools. I would like to try working as the intern if I study abroad.

I don't want to regret having lost the opportunity to go to abroad for study someday.

I will keep looking at the informations of studying abroad.

What are there upon your desk?

I like plants and flowers. Once,I had written about it on my blog. I bought new plants last week.





When I had worked at the ex company, I brought a plant and I put it on my desk. When I felt some stress and tired, I saw it for a while. Because of it, I could refresh my mind.

But now, there aren't any plants on my desk of the office. So I may bring a new plant in order to put it on my desk of my office later.

Where is my decision?

Yes, I am thiking to quite the my office. I have never been to feel any satisfacions and any passions from my work. And I don't want to work until 60 years ago because I can't develop my skill at all etc. And I am 32 years old now. I am not young. I know that. I think it is a chance to study abroad. I don't want to regret about it for now. I talked with my important frineds and my family on this weekend. I will think about it for a little and I will plant to decide to it. Where is my answer?

Food of Neo Stall

I had gone to stalls. But I didn't write about it more. So I want to write about it.

When I arrived at International forum of Yukuraku-cyo, there were a lot of people. Already, they enjoyed eating and drinking while sitting down the seats. I couldn't find any seats at once. So I bought a bottle of beer and I drank.

After a few mins, one Japanese comedian appeared. His name is Yuichi Kimura. He is very good at cooking. And his cooking books are sold and his cooking TV programs are broadcasted. Then he made Japanese noodle "Udon". Ad campaign's event of "Udon" one company "".




While drinking and looking at his cook, I took some photos.

Then I needed some food and beer. So I looked for food of stalls!!!

There were Indian,Greek,Mexican,Korean,Japanese(rice balls,okonomiyaki,miso soup etc),Italian, other dishes.



Beef kebabu


- Thail food


Finally,I bought one spring rool and a bottle of beer. After I could find a seat, I enjoyed drinking beer and eating Vietnamese Spring Roll.
After drinking beer, I felt cold. So I bought hot soup of spicy soy milk. It was very delicious.

The taste looked like Pork Miso Soup "ton jiru". If I will go to Neo stall again, I will try eating other food.
