dance

My salsa teacher and his group members had a show at sky building in Osaka.I'm just beginner,but I like salsa,because 2 years ago I went to the salsa show and saw their show and my friend also danced in the group,and they danced and taught the audiences how to dance salsa,and I thought I liked the music and the an atmosphereso was good at that time.They were so cheerful when they danced salsa.
I go to the show every year.This year some of my friends came to the show and after we watched the salsa show we could practice it together.It was fun!!!It looks really difficult but the teacher always made us happy!!!Let's dance salsa!!!BTW We went to the dinner at a Hawaiian^^ restaurant,Mauloa near the sky building.

ukulele

I went to a Ukulele lesson on Thursday !!!!!!I played the Ukulele!!!!!!Kyoko told me that we could go to Ukulele lesson,and she knew I was interested in Ukulele.Anyway, this was my first lesson.The teacher is Japanese,but he 's been to Hawaii so many times.He chose the Hawaiian song to play the Ukulele for the lesson.The name was "Ke anu 'o Waimea ".I haven't hared that song,but I like this song.We had been practice it for 2 hours....but I couldn't play the song...but I knew some code.The sound was so nice and lovely.

debut

One of my friends, Kaorin,has started dancing hula,and she danced on a stage with her group members.
I usually listen to about Hawaii from her,so I 'm interested in Hawaii.
So I went to Suita-city on Saturday.Before we went to the place,we had lunch in Umeda.She talked how difficult to put false eyelashes on her eyes.We talked each other as the same as usual.
She danced one song,so I just took a few photos for her,and had no time to take by digital camera!I missed it!!!but she danced well!!!!
The event was for spreading the infomation about" medulla bank".The patients need medulla.We could help someone.We learned how we can help them.

bike

I like to ride a bike.I bought my bike last year.
I hadn't ridden a bike for long time ,and I had a good opportunity to ride a bike last year,so I really wanted to buy a new bike at home!Then I finally bought one at the end of last year.It is white and a mountain bike.When I got it ,it was rainy day and I rode it for almost 2 hours from the shop,but I was really happy at that time!

fegn shui

Do you believe "fegn shui"?It has a long history,so I believe it.Some Japanese think about "fegn shui" when you build your house.I'was not so interested in it ,so I haven't thought how we put our furniture or windows...I've just started think about this.I only heard Yellow is good for money or Red is good for some wishes..but I'm not sure.

TOEIC

I decided to take the TOEIC exam next month.I have to study English for TOEIC.
I've already had a lots of books for it...and took the exam several times.I wish I could get over 700points!!!

hot spring

My family and I went to Arima hot spring with our relatives the end of last month.We rarely meet them together.

landmine

I went to Tennouji today.I joined an English meeting.I've been there since 2004.One speacker talk to the members once a month,and after we lesten the stories,we can ask questions to the speaker.It is difficult to lesten to their stories in English but it is good for me.
Today A woman who come from Portland Oregon in USA spoke about herself,her hometown and her interests.
This spring vacation she traveled to Southeast Asia and learned about the landmine problem in Cambodia.She said Cambodia was one of the worst landmine affected countries in the world due to almost 30 years of conflict,and Cambodia has twice as many landmines as children(7 million landmines).

I went to a Wine Party on 3rd of April in Kobe.Actually my friend and I had a small Birthday party by ourselves there.My friend birthday also is in April,and we were invited the wine party.One of my friend works there,and she has a Wine Party once a year.I met her at the end of the year party a few years ago.I've been learning English in Kobe.We have the party every year,and we can see some friends who study with same teacher in different classes.It was fun.I can see many people there.Last year we went to a Chinese restarant.yummy!BTW,she served some kinds of glass of wine each of us.We tasted them and talked about the taste.It was very first time for me and had a good exparience and relax time.Thanks Tomiko!

letters

I went to a exhibition yesterday. One of my friends uses a computer and drew a picture with a soft .
Some people like to exchange their letters or cards each other.It is not e-mail.They also think about the season. You write a simple word and drew a picture with water paint on the same card, we called "Etegami".And recently you can use a soft for drawing it.
My friend is really good at painting by the painting software. It was amazing the skill. I like her ideas and her using color. Her paintings are all lovely.

Hanami

I went to Shukugawa on Sunday.It was fine day and a little bit cold,and we had Hanami Party on the Shukugawa river side.Some of my friends bought our lunch at Hanshin department store,becuase we usually don't buy any Obento,Lunch-box, there,and we thought they looked delicious and Hanami party was good time to try some.Autually they are not so cheap lunch box,but we could shear the food and ate many kinds of Japanese food in the box.I like to eat out side.They are yummy!and we realized that the people walked on the bank were so many.We had to keep the place we ate on at 10am.We could sit down on the seat near cherry trees.They were lovely.The timing was the best for flowers,and then we went to Hawaiian cafe near there.

Cards

I saw my Friends at Hawaiian restaurant Mauloa on Tuesday.It was a small meeting,because one of us wants to know about hula there,and Kyoko chan's Birthday!Happy Birthday Kyoko again!It was a good time!We laughed and laughed about our funny stories,and ate yummy Hawaiian food there.What was I interested in?It was cards! Kaori brought it and showed us,and let us used the cards.Each cards tell us some advice for our life,and give you a hint and courage,and I was surprised that the cards said to us!Are you interested in the cards?

BBQ

My friends and I had Hanami Party last Sunday.We went to a park in Osaka.One of my friend took me and K-chan to the park,and the other friends already prepared some food for BBQ.Thank you!We have Hanami Party under the cherry trees in spring in Japan.We eat,drink,chat and watch cherry blossoms.We have Hanami Party with friends or with coworkers.When you have Hanami party,one of you go and secure the place to have it before a party starts.We need the best position to see cherry blossoms!It is beautiful,and they have a limit,so we can only do it during the bloom of flowers.oh,this time was too early!and there is no flower^^,but I enjoyed the BBQ!
