Apple pie

I went to Nagaokakyo near Kyoto and joined an English meeting .During the meeting a speaker talked about her life in NY.She's been to NY and she learned English and cooking there.
Today I learned how to cook an apple pie in English.We also tried some apple pie which is hand made.It was yummy!The member talked about food each other in English,and some of the member are new people for me. We could practice English,so I had a really good time.

Hawaiian

I've been to a event for 3 days in Osaka.It was called "Aloha Summer Festival in Osaka 2006".I knew about this event a few months ago from my friend and I've been waiting for the event for a long time.I asked the planers whether I could help them or not.They said ok!I was so happy,and I decided to help and to join the event at that time.
Finally, it was hold last weekend.The middle of days,it was rainy,but there were many people and the groups of dancers dance in the rain.I was amazed,because lots of people really like hula and they were watching the dance.
I knew how much dancers practice hula dance everyday,and all of the dancers smiles while they dance.I always feel good and relax.More than that, musicians played the ukuleles and guitars.I could listen to the Hawaiian musics ,songs all day.
There were some shops and sold the Hawaiian goods,they looked so cute!and I bought one of them...and you could eat Hawaiian food there.
I was in the information for 3 days and met many people there.Thanks for giving me such a good chance in the event.Thanks Kaulana and Mauloa family and my friends!!!I really enjoyed it.

Feng Shui

I sometimes read the book " Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui" by Karen Kingston.
When I felt that I had too many things to think in my brain,and I said so to my friend,and my friend recommended me to read this book.It is a kind of Feng Shui book and it says there are important points in a room and if you clean the points ,luck comes,because if you clean up the place and keep there free,then a new thing comes there,and I think I believe it.It helped me a lot.

sun

I have my face and arms itching.you know this season the sun light is too strong for me because of the ultraviolet rays...when I walk on the street only for 10 mins,I have some trouble of my skin.I hate the sun!!!mmmnn...I like the sun ,but no thanks sun burn.

Hiking to Mino

One of my friend lives in Mino-city.The city has a good hiking course from the Mino station to the mountain.
We met at the station at 9am on Sunday morning,Actually we had to meet earlier if you got pure air and minus ion.
They say minus ion is good for health.Anyway we walked to the mountain,and talked to each others.
We could feel really flesh green during our walking,and my friend showed us some good points for praying to the gods.
They have some temples on the mountain.
The main of the hiking is watching the Mino falls.It was beautiful.We are in early summer,and it was hot day,
but around the fall,it was quite cool,and the water was clear.
I'm lucky that I have some friends who walk with me like this...thanks.

baseball game

Hanshin Tigers!!!I went to the game on 30th of May.
Do you like baseball games??I like watching the game.When I was a high school student,
my friend played baseball and I went to the game at Hanshin ground and watched it,
and I live in Kansai area,and the people live there like Hanshin Tigers!!!!!
When we go to the game at Hanshin ground ,the fun support players by rule.
One of them,we use balloons.Every fun make balloons and fly to the air at the same time!
That is beautiful for watching.Mr.Kanemoto hit a home run is my favorite player,
the game was great.Tigers won the game.
