At Vietnamese Museum

At the first day, I went to the War remnants museum.
I write about my feeling,,,impression.
Entrance(Admission) fee was 15000Don(Japanese about 150yen)


First or all,I saw a lot of cruel pictures about vietnamese war.
In the picture,some people were about to death and other people were crying.

Due to defoliant, I also saw the handycapped people.
And I can also study a lot of Vietnamese History.

I thought that kind of cruel things have never happen in the future.

Memories in Vietnam

I went to Vietnam from 8/21 to 8/27.
Today I came home around 7oclock in the morning.

I white "my vietnam's diary" not to forget some interesting and good memories.
First I took on Vietnam airlines from Tokyo, narita airport.
Flight number was VN951 and Bording time was 9:50.
After 6 and half hours ride, we arrived at Ho Chi Ming airport around 2 in the afternoon(rocal time).
We passed immigration counter, got my luggage.
Tour conductor took us to the hotel we stayed.

The name of the hotel we stayed was Regend saigon hotel(HCMC).
Regend hotel was very beautiful, and located on Ho chi ming cith(HCMC) along Saigon river.good place I think.
I thought many Japanese were staying this hotel, because I met a lot of Japanese people and saw a lot of Japanese letters(in sign board or guidance).

After that, we went to "war remnants museum(戦争証跡博物館)".
We were able to go to that museum by Taxi(10min).
I white nest time what I thought in the Museum.

After that,we went to Rex hotel(on the top floor) to have dinner.
The name of the restaurant was "Rooftop garden restaurant and bar".It was not so modern and buautiful, but we can relax and enjoy band performance.

日本語で書きます。
フライト６時間半、午後３時くらいにはレジェンドホテルに着きました。
このホテルは、ホーチミンメイン通りから歩いて１０分ほど、サイゴン川沿いで、クラシックな雰囲気でした。
後ほどアップしますが部屋も落ち着いていてそこそこ綺麗です、サービスはとても行き届いており日本人好みだと思います。
日本語案内もいたるところにあったので、現に、多くの日本人観光客が泊まっているようでした。
まだ時間も早いので、戦争証跡博物館に行ってきました。
ベトナム戦争について、戦争犯罪や、その後遺症、現在までの国際的支援までいろいろなものが展示されてありました。目を背けてしまうような写真もたくさん展示されており、感想は英語で書きたいと思います。どうせ、英会話学校で話さなきゃいけないからまとめておかないと。

明日からニャチャンです。ダイビングできるかﾅｧ。
エステも楽しみ☆　なんてこのときは考えていました。

And we went to aquarium and saw lot of ells and shakes and turtles.
After that, we started 'snowkelling'.

I learned a lot of things at EC

I started preparing for Vietnamese trip.
Last week I brought my big suitcase from my hometown.

By the way, "Today's Lesson at EC" was the title "the expression we can use during the trip".
The sentence I learned was ' Is this seat taken?' and 'Can you do me a favor?' and 'can you keep an eye on my bag?' and so on.
I can understant the meaning of those sentences, but It is difficult for me to speak them fluently.
When I go to Vietnam, I want to use those sentences at the airport and the hotel.

Pretty white table

I went to "Famous furniture shop" with a friend of mine this afternoon.
Shop's name is IKEA which is located near Chiba prefecture.
There are large number of furniture in this shop, and we can touch and see funny, interesting, pretty furniture.
I cant tell shop's atmosphere well, so I recommend you should go there.

I bought "white table" and some tablewares.
"A white table" I bought cost 1500yen,so I thought it was very cheap.
I want to put notebook computer on this table.
But I haven't constracted it yet.
So I am looking forward to using this table someday.

I went to Turkish restaurant which is located on Shinjuku.

I went to Turkish restaurant with a friend of mine.
We booked seats in advance, so I ordered course meal.
And We also watched "real Belly dance show" in this restaurant.

I heard that she(my friend) had been Italy for 8 days.
Rome and Milan and Veneza and so on.
Since I went to Italy last summer,we were able to talk with her about Italy.
And I can hear much information and opinion about Italy and so on.

And then,I got some souvenirs from her.
Olive oil and chocolates and Italian wine and so on.

Turkish food is very delicious and can have a good time together.
It was happy Wednesday, Ithought.

通訳ガイドかぁ〜。

The lesson I joined today is "How to explain Japanese culture".
As I'm able to learn or know about Japanese culture,I like this lesson very much.
Today, first we tested about word that we often use when we explain Japanese culture.
After this test, we answered some questions that teacher asked.

I will white the question I couldnt answer well.

Question "What is Karaoke?"

Answer "Karaoke is the act of singing through an amplified system to a recorded musical accompaniment.Most bars and pubs have very sophisticated karaoke systems.


ま、こんな感じに答えていくわけですが、このための復習には随分時間を費やしています（＾＾；
何も見ないでいえるようになるまで時間がかかるから仕方がないですけどね。
いつか、通訳ガイド受けてみようかナァ〜。
もうちょっと英語スキルアップしたらね☆ミ

It tasted very good than I expected.
I wanted to make it someday.

届いたのは、スライスのフォアグラ２００gでした。（３千円台でした）
簡単にフライパンで焼いて、しょうゆで味付け。
軽く焦げ目がついた状態でご飯に乗せて、食べました、。
思った以上に美味でした。

ま、何でこんなもんを作ろうと思ったのかというと、先週たまたま彼と行ったワインバーでフォアグラ丼が出てきて、今度作ってみようという話をしていたからなんです。
私はすっかり忘れていましたが、彼は真面目に注文してくれたのです（笑）
もし、興味があればたまには良いね。作るのも簡単だし、家で作るので十分です。
