Shirahone hot springs

We went to the hot springs that was called "Shirahone onsen".
We took a white colored bath yesterday night and today morning.
Although the smell of the hot springs is not good, its colour is nice (white)

We could take a bath with snow, because the bath was outside.
And the Ryokan(Japanese traditionally inn) was also good., clean and the food was really tasty.
But It took 5hours to get there...so I was a little bit tired.
Anyway I can release my stress from my body.

雪見温泉

Recently I have been busy about my work.
Today I finished working around 9 in the evening.
Yesterday at 11, and The day before yesterday also at 11 in the evening..
So I was really tired, but this weekend I'm going to the hot springs "Shirahone".
That hot springs is famous for Shinsyu and located at Matsumoto city.
The colour of bath is white,,,,
I am looking forward to taking a bath.
We can see "the real snow" while we are taking a bath(^^).

週末に白骨温泉に行ってきます。
東京からはちょっと遠いけど、雪見温泉できそうです（＾＾）　楽しみ〜

At my house

Yesterday I went to my house(home) , my parents and I went to the hot spring near my house.
That spa serves natural hot springs and have lots of bath inside and outside.
I took outside bath more than an hour with my mother and can relax a lot.
As I am Japanese, I like Japanese style bath anyway.

After taking a bath, we went to "sushi restaurant"called "Kappa-sushi".
This restaurant is famous for everybody, because all dishes is served 100 yen.
So this place was really crowded.
Recently since the price of tuna was risen,I thought its difficult to keep 100 yen.
I heard that the price of wheat was risen by the news.
So I am worried about the price of spagetti and pizza and so on.
because I like italian dishes and often go Italian restaurant(w).

茅ヶ崎英語学校

今日は日本語で書きます。
今日、茅ヶ崎英語学校の体験授業にトライしてきました。
前々から、通いたいと思っていたので、やっと実現です。
レベルはC２、TOEICでいうと６５０点から７５０点程度とHPには書いてありました。
私の最新の結果が７２０点なのでぴったりかなと思ったのですが、、、
で、実際に授業を受けた感想ですが、、、、これがまた難しい！
使うテキストはニュースの原稿だし、英語を見ていきなり日本語できれいに訳さねばならないし。

今まで通っていた英会話スクールは、日本語だめ、丸暗記が重要！っていう方針だったものですから（＾＾；全然違います。

とりあえず、１年間頑張って勉強して９００点まで達し、英語が出来る人間だという風に職場で言われるようになり、将来は、異動（または転職）だ！！！！
９００点くらいないと、職場で「私は英語できる」っていえないからねぇ。
うん、やる気になってきた（笑）
ニュースでも何でもかかってこーい！なんてね（笑）

Sushi restaurant

I sometimes go to the sushi restaurant with him.
He loves sushi very much,,,especially tuna and salmon.
Yesterday also We went to the sushi restaurant near Tsukiji.
The sushi restaurant where we went was good.
What we ordered was,,,,the set of sashimi and albino and salmon roe and so on.
Most of the ingredients for sashimi were really fresh..
But there were lots of smokers,,,,that's only bad point I think.

What I did and Where I went today.

It was a good day today, so I will introduce you how I spent today.
Today, I got up at 7:30 in the morning at his house.
I heard that he go to his office to work.
So I left his house with him and I headed for Starbacks to have breakfast.
Before going to the Starbacks, I bought Daily Yomiuri that is written in English and read more than an hour.
And after that I went to gym near my house, of course I swam 1km in the pool and go into sauna and take a shower.

ここまでして、まだお昼。一日がすごく有効に使えます。
英字新聞読みなどの勉強も出来るし、、、さらにジムに行ってもまだ半日いろんなことが出来ます。
これから、ケーキをかって実家に帰ります。んで、日帰り温泉です☆☆☆

うーん、いい一日だ。

American gang star アメリカンギャングスター

I went to watch a movie "American gang star" yesterday.
The theater where we went was "Toyosu" Koto ward tokyo.
Lalaport's cinema was new, so we could watch confortably.
The contents of this movie was also good.
Its difficult to explain it because my english ability is poor(^^;
In a few days I want to explain the detail.

Today, I went to the Gym to swim,,,and to lose waight.
Recently since I couldnt go to the gym, I felt I was little fat.
I swam about 800meter today, after that, I went into steam sauna.
I thought I can lose waight and can release my stress from my body.
Going to gym is the best way to keep my body healthy...

昨日、アメリカンギャングスター見てきました。
映画はとっても良く出来ていて、２時間半くらいの長編だったのですが、最後まで飽きずにどきどきはらはら（？）楽しく見ることが出来ました。
彼に、「イタリア英語だったけど〜気がついた？」といわれましたが、全く？でした。
ま、私の力はそんなもんです。

今日は、仕事後ジムへ。
最近働きすぎてなまっていた体を少し引き締めました。
足が太った気がずっとしていて、気になって仕方がなかったのです。
体を動かすと、ストレスの解消にもなり一石二鳥ですね。。。。
来週末は温泉に行く予定なので、これからは勉強より頻繁にジムに行かねばなぁ、なんて思いました。

I bought chocolate...agin.

昨日たまたまテレビでブルガリのチョコレートが紹介されていました。
１個１５００円、っつーロゴ入りのやつ。
早速、今日の朝表参道まで走り（笑）買いました。
お店は１１時オープンでしたので、１１時ちょっと前にお店前に到着したところ、
なんと１００人位の長蛇の列(^^;
１時間ほど並んで、ゲットできました。
思ったより小さい！！！！すんごく小さい。
並んで買うほどのものかは分かりませんが、まぁたまにはこういう経験も良い
かなと思いました（笑）ブルガリだし・・・。

After that, I went to "Chukagai" to visit my friend's house.
And we went to "Dog cafe"...I went there for the first time, it was nice place.
I can see many kinds of dogs and cats.
Most animals were very pretty and cute and so on.
I have a good times each other to go such a place....
I can enjoy much.

Valentine's chocolate

Yesterday I went to ginza to buy chocolates with a friend of mine(^^;
Because my friend asked me to go to chocolate shop.

We met around 4pm yesterday, and went to the famous chocolate shop.
The shop we went is "ピエールマルコリーニ"　and got pretty chocolate.
This shop was really crowded and it took 25minites to get it.
I wonder when I can give him it.

After buying chocolate, we went to Izakaya to have dinner.
As I wanted to eat raw spring roll, we went to Vietnamese restaurant.
It was a good day yesterday(^^)

THE DAILY YOMIURI

Recently I sometimes read newspaper.
The kind of the newspaper is Daily Yomiuri.
Because Daily Yomiuri is easier and cheaper than other papers,,,
And I can buy easily, Kiosk at station and convenience store.
Today I also bought Daily yomiuri at Shinjuku station's kiosk, and I have read for more than one hour.

The article which I am interested most was the article of "green lanterns".
Now there are lot of japanese restaurant hang "green lanterns"in front of restaurant.
That lanterns means "that restaurant uses domestic ingredients".
Green lanterns,,,,,

I have no time to white,,,,I will continue it tomorrow....

I went to the French restaurant again.

I went to French restaurant to have lunch with him.
As this restaurant was located near Tuskiji, we could eat good fish dish.
Recently since my work was busy,with him I was able to relax a lot.
From this junuary, I go to his house once a week.
And we usually eat French or italian lunch.
Because there are a lot of french restaurants near his house.

After I came back my house, I have studied Chinese for 2 hours.
Now I enjoy studying Chinese,,,,because I can understand the meaning of Kanji characters.

毎週末彼の家に遊びに行き、ほとんどの場合、、、、フレンチランチします。
私たちの通常の日課になりました。お互いフレンチは好きらしい（＾＾；
メインは、、、、だいたい彼は肉、私は魚です。で、シェアします。
昔は鮨ばかり食べていたのになぁ（笑）なつかしい。

It is Monday today...

From last week, I have started studying Chinese.
Although I have just studied for a week, I can enjoy studying.
Because I think that Chinese language is easier than English.
Of course chinese character is similar to Japanese Kanji.
And I can understand the character's meaning....
So I need learn to pronounce each chinese word.
Anyway I enjoy studying Chinese,,,its very good for me.
I think I can keep studying.

中国語、なかなか楽しいです。
なぜなら漢字の意味がわかるから（＾＾）
読み方（発音）が少々難しいですが、少なくとも、今年いっぱい続けたい。
たまたま始めた通信教育が中国語検定４級を目指す!というものなので、取得予定です。
