U.K. travel from Belfast to Manchester

I and my friend went to U.K.

We reserved everything by ourself and searched all we need to travel.

At first, I reached Heathrow airport

and then changed to go to Belfast in Northern Ireland!!

This picture↑ is the center of the city in Belfast.

The reason why we went to Northern Ireland is to visit The Giant's Causeway☆

That was so nice view!!

We are adventurous, so we crimed like this↑　★


I also saw nice red sky! I can' t see that in Japan.

This place was the best place I want to recommend to visit　(*^^)v



We moved from Belfast to Manchester through Liverpool on Cruiser!

Liverpool is famous city because of the Beatles.

But I'm not interested in the Beatles.

When I went to this place , there were many people on line.

So I didn't enter.



But Liverpool is so nice place!

I can see good blue sky and blue sea❤

There are many shops and people looks happy❤


I heard it's usually rainy in U.K.
but

I didn't feel so.

Oh! This Picture is the interesting car.

It can use on the grand and on the sea!

Many people stopped steps and watched that (゜o゜)!!





Manchester United Stadium!!

I don't know about soccer and I'm little interested in U.K. team.

But I visited there.

BUT
I thought Soccer is the important culture in U.K.

and I want to see Soccer stadium.


I couldn't understand all the guide saying of tour,

but I knew how people like the soccer game.

Soccer stadium is bigger than something I guess.

When I visit U.K. again, I want to watch the soccer game!


I also bought many Manchester United goods.

Everywhere I go with that, I was talked about Manchester United team.

So that was good item for me!

I'm in United Kingdom!!!

I stay UK one month.
It's not for studying but sightseeing with my friend.

I wanted to go to UK since I was a junior high school student.
So my dream come true!!

I already visit many places including places used " harry Potter" movie!
I was so exited! Every place is fantastic, especially Christ church!!!

My journey schedule is from 16 Feb to 14 march. So I have to go back Japan three days later...
I don't wanna.

BUT I must come back sometime!
BECAUSE I must meet DANIEL RADCLIFFE!!!

20 years old!!

I am 20 years old now!

(My birthday is January 26.)



Many friends gave me e-mails. So nice☆



I can drink alcohol and choose politician.

I also pay many tax for country...


I don't know my future but I want to live happily!!
And I want to try many things!

Please look at me next 10 years!

2009.1.14 Seijin Shiki in Toshimaen

2009 SEIJINSHIKI IN TOSHIMAEN

Namiko ★ Saori ★ Chiharu ★ Noriko

Kamisyakujii Junior High School （上石神井中学校）Girls❤

Mettan ・ Andousan

Yui-chan ・ Nori ・ Chi-ko

Yukkoti ・ Maho-chan

Kana-chan ・ Kadoya






Kyo-kun ・ Ozaki

A-chan ・ Chi-ko ・ Yui-chan ・

Aya-chan ・ Mettan ・ Nori

Everyone wore Furisode or suit.

I can't meet friends in the Kamisyakujii junior high school because everyone go to different high school.

I can't remember some people and asked my friend.

And also some people didn't remember me...(；一_一)

Everyone grow up and changed beautiful and cool.
After the Seijinshiki, we went to Shinjiku.

In that place we can drink, play golf and dart, eat many different dishes and talk together!!

I talked to many friends and took pictures.

This party started at7 p.m. and finished at 9 p.m.

It was not long time, but it was so good time!!

I LOVE KAMISYAKUJI JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL❤❤

After the party in Shinjiku I went back Kamisyakuji. And 20 people went to 2jikai(second party)!

This party was also fun! Because there was not many people, so I could talk a lot of time for each person.

After this party we went to 3jikai(third party), 3jikai was in Karaoke.

It finished at 5 a.m.

My class started 9 a.m. ,so I slept only 3hours. But I didn't care time at that time.

Because It was so good time for me!

Let's meet together again!!

Took Furisode picture IN tokushima!

I took Frisode picture on 2009,1,2 in Tokushima that there is my grand mother's house.

How do you think this Furisode? It looks so gorgeous!! SO I bought this.

Many girls take picture before the coming-of-age celebration.


The reason why I took this pictures in Tokushima, not Tokyo is that I want to let my grand mother see me.

↑ This picture is in front of my grand mother's house. I like there very much!!!

This picture is in the photo studio.

I posed many times. I was a little shy.


I like this picture(*^^)v
She swaggers ! In fact, I wanted to put off this Furisode quickly because it's difficult to keep wearing long time in the house.

Maybe I would not live in Edo period.

Shokuhin Kenkyu Gurume CircleI belong to eating food circle in Asia university.

We made Tonjiru and sold on Asia university festival last year.

But we don't be active. So next week we meet and think about our action.

Many people didn't come meeting last year. SO we have to change!!

YES, WE CAN!! In 2009, I want to make better year than last year!!

HAPPY★NEW★YEAR

Happy New Year!!!

(あけましておめでとうございます！！)

COW YEAR

Last year was good year. But I can't image this year...

Because I don't know what I want to do(=_=)

Ha~~~↓↓

My purpose is to find something I'm interested in and improve myself!!

まぁがんばりますわ。

FURISODE（振袖）

This is not mine! Example!

I went to Tokushima with my family.
I am so excited to meet grandmother and people I know!!

But it was not only relax... I and my mother went to many Furisode shops. We wathched a lot of Kimono and I wore them. I was so tired.

We walked many shops for three days. But we didn't decide it.

Furisode is a kind of Kimono. People who be 20 years old will wear on Junuary.

On Junuary there are a event called "Seijinshiki" that people consider they are adults.

Women wear the many kinds of Furisode. Men wear suit or Hakama.

There are many designs and colors. Red Furisode is the most popular color.
When we graduate the university, we also wear Furisode and Hakama.

We can wear Furisode until I get married.
So Furisode is the sign of young.

I will go to find a beautiful Furisode with mother again.

Syokken(食研合宿）In Atami

I went to Atami with my circle members.
I belong to Syokken(食研). This is the circle to research Food and Gourmet(食品グルメ研究).
There are 2 meeting a month. My friends made this, so there is no elder.



The half of members participated this event.
This purpose was to make good relations.
We went to sea and watched fire works. We could watch in a good place!

The bad point in this stay was dinner in the Ryokan(small hotel).
We ate Mentsikatu. A few people felt bad. Because the Mentsikatu was kind of raw.
That's too bad for us!!

I didn't swim in the sea. Because I didn't like sea and I can't swim.
It happened jellyfishes. It's too early! My friends were stung by a jellyfish many times...
I soaked only legs but I was also done.

We enjoyed games of Uno and Wink killer.
We had a good time and made good relation through the games☆

I think it became a good memory in this summer（●＾o＾●）♪

open campus

I visited Keio University(慶応大学) , ICU(Internatinal christian university, 国際基督教大学) and Jyothi University (上智大学)with my sister.

I was busy because of the final exam.
And it was very hot day.

I didn't want to go there.

But I think Keio is the best university of the others.
Because Keio student have good spirit and respect their university.
I felt it's the good environment for students.

Megan, Michael, Evelyn came to Japan!!

Megan　↑

Michael　↑　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Evelyn　↓

My AUAP teacher came to Japan last week.

I was so happy to meet them!! But it was during final test term. So they can't meet all student immediately.

It was last exam day on August 1st. Other teacher tell students to be able to meet the teachers at the cafeteria.

I changed the time of part time job. So I could talk with them.

Megan is my best teacher I have ever met. So I was cry to meet her.

I came back from America just 6 months ago. But I felt it's been a long time.

I was happy.

But I can't have enough time.

I had to say "See you again" again.

I had patience to cry.

Because I can meet her again, sometime.

Megan,

You are my best teacher❤

LAST TOEFL CLASS！！

I liked this TOEFL class. So I'm sad to finish that.

My teacher was Australian. She is so nice and very cute❤
She taught me what TOEFL is and how we answer.
Her teaching was easy to understand for me!! And I like her pronunciation♪♪

After this class, we went to ONYASAI(温野菜) to eat shabushabu.
It was first time to eat that for her. But she said lovely❤ and wonderful!!
We talked a lot. We knew about her family and her baby named Tiger!
I wanna meet her baby and husband☆

My class mates are international because there are Korean and Chinese.
They have different culture and opinion. So we did international conversation!

They were so nice and my teacher is also nice!
I am so glad to meet them（●＾o＾●）❤

EWU member gathered☆

On June 14 we gathered!
61 EWU members !!

We drank and spend good time in Musashisakai.
After we came back to Japan, we can't meet all members in Asia university...
So I was looking forward to the day❤

That time make me happy! We talked about American life.

We also celebrated Kengo,my friend, go to America.
He already quit the university, but he went to ELS school like English school.
I asked him how long he goes to America.
He didn't know how long. I think he would live in America.

I think some had new purpose, others were confused their future after AUAP.
I had new purpose.
I want to go to America again. So I'm studying for TOEFL.
I have to study hard!

YOKOHAMA

I went to China town in Yokohama during G.W. with my family.
My sisiter had been to there. So my mother was interested in there.

I already had part time job. My another sisiter also had vollyball training.
So we went to the last day during G.W.

We ate some Chinese food. I like Anman, but others like Annin ice.
Both were good!!

Then I went to Yokohana Landmark Tower. It's a big shopping mole.

We enjoyed the last G.W. day♪

TOEIC

After I came back to Japan, I was given TOEIC test score.

They say TOEIC score improve about 100 points after AUAP because we stayed 5 months.
My friends increased points about 100.
People who got the most many points increased 300 points.

But I decreased.
About 50 points.

I was disappointed and I've been disappointed.

I think because I didn't study a lot in America.
My speaking skill and listening skill maybe improved, but these didn't show on the test.

I know the test is not sure to show the skill and so important.
But I reflected on the life in America.

I want to go to America again.
I'll use AUEP (Asia University Exchange Program) to do that.
But everyone can't use it.
It will choose some students of candidates.
I have to do TOFEL test.
And it's good for it to get TOEIC & TOFEL high points.

So I'm studying hard now.
To get higher points than others the next time!!!

Golden Week

G.W. starts.
I have 7 holidays. It's too long for me.

I want to go to school!

During the holiday, I work and relax...

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts In Tachikawa☆

Do you know this doughnuts company?
I ate this in America at first.

I know KKD is in Shinjuku. But we have to wait about a hour like Disneyland...
Then KKD opened in Tachikawa today!!

My friends work there, so I could eat yesterday, of course FREE!!! (they brought them in Asia university.)

It's very soft and good taste!! I recommend a normal one.(original first grade doughnuts?)
http://www.krispykreme.jp/

I heard to my friends about doing something to enter the company like an interview.

At first they drew a picture(no words) about themselves and then introduced themselves to use the picture in front of others.

Second, They played. They made a group about 5 people. And they considered about moving experience to make a script.

That's funny! I've never heard these interview!
American company is kind of strange＼(◎o◎)／！

But I don't want to do that because it's kind of hard!

I also heard the doughnuts party. It monthly happens. Sometimes the staff can invite their family and friends to the party.
But we can eat only doughnut and drink.

My working company is normal and boring Japanese style.
I want to go to the party!!!!!!!＼(^o^)／

I'll buy some doughnuts there sometime because I don't want to wait...

2 grade

My classes are going to start tomorrow.

It was tiring to decide own classes...(ーー;)
