Hello Karl-

I would love to travel to Shikoku area, too! You know what? I just realized that I have not traveled within Japan much in my life. We know it's cheaper to travel overseas than to travel in Japan nowadays, so, to me, traveling within Japan for vacation is something laxurious and cannot happen so often. It'd be so nice if you have a friend all over Japan so that you can visit different places to see them:-)

I need to find some friends here in Arizona because I really don't know anyone besides those whom I work with.

Hello!
In my last message, I missed the contents. On the title, I wrote that Ibaraki is chilly, but not write about weather in the content. I recognized this just after I pressed “send” button.

Yesterday, my area had rain and also big thunder. Happily, I was backed to home before thunder, but one of my colleague met heavy rain. He said that rain was painful because of it’s heaviness. He is using bicycle for commuting, so, rain attacked him directly. (I also using motor cycle for commuting)

By the way, you never visit to Hokkaido, Marsy. I visited there twice. Once was for summer vacation, and once was for job. All two times, I just visit at Sapporo only. No other Hokkaido. Case of summer vacation was very sad. When I arrived at Sapporo, my friend had medical trouble, and just visit hospital at Sapporo, then return to Tokyo.

I never visit at Shikoku area, so, in the future, I want to visit there.

Hello Marsy

When I was high school student, once I had visit Kumamoto. It was our school trip and we climbd Mt. Aso. I almost forgot the name but "KUSA SENRI" is some part of Kumamoto? Was it foot of Mt. Aso?

I envy a person who are familer with music. I'm tone deaf and I can not read music score. I tried musical instruments three times before, but not succeeded.

I also heard that person who is good for music is a intelligent people. I think so, because one can play without score isn't it.

Hello everybody.
Talking about tyhoon, my son visited Kumamoto one day after Kyushu attacked by typoon. He visited Kumamoto Univ. for something about academic meeting of machinary. He was led there by prof. of his univ. I asked him is there any traces of typhoon, but he just go there from airport so, he did not recognize any patecular traces of typhoon.

Hi everyone-!
Wow, the weather in Japan sounds really bad! I should call my family in Kagoshima how they are doing these days. Hope typhoon didn't cause too much troubles to people (or did it?)
The weather here in Arizona is getting really cool and nice. I feel that fall season has come. I miss fall season in Japan. I just miss the life in Japan a lot these days somehow.....I don't know when I can go home again in near futur:-(

Good moring.

Marsy, how is new place? Every thing going good?

Here Japan, one big Typhoon came on Monday and many accidents happend at Kyushu. Your relatives all right?

My son visited Kumamoto just one day after Typhoon atacked.
He have to go there in the AM, so I have to bring him to the station in eary morning.

Hi everyone!
Wow! Karl, you are throwing me a question in French?? hummmmm.....honestly, I didn't quite get it. There are 3 "ne"s, "ne...pas" means negative, and it sometimes has some special meanings with specific verbs in between. So what does this sentence really mean? Does it mean something like "Don't care about things that are not important"?

Hello,everybody


This mornig, I was working and doing my duty as usual at my office. Few minutes ago, English call had come to my desk, my co-worker said calling from overseas. I was surprised and getting nervous!

I have always complained　that I have a few chance to speak English. I have made myself to prevent from English.
When I have got the chance, I hesitate it because I have made myself to prevent from English.

The calling was from Malysia, I was upset but I could ask her to send e-mail address. Only few minutes had passed,
I felt it's a long time.

I am very shy person.

Hello Folks-^.^
Yes, Karl, everyone needs vacation regardless of their occupations....BUT, the reality is that so many people are having hard time taking their vacation. Well, I know that the way of thinking "vacation" isn't initially deriving from Japanese culture.....the way we think about our "vacation" really is an influence from European culture. Therefore, Japanese people are tipically exampled to be not good at enjoying the vacations and being workholic all year long....I don't know if this stereo type is still true, look at China. What do you think about vacation system in Japan??
