11/22～25 和歌山出張

From November 22 to 25, I went to Wakayama to study and research.

I went to Nachi-Katsuura to research a situation after the biggest typhoon at September.

On September, the biggest typhoon hit Wakayama and the biggest flood happened.

I went to see Nachi falls at first.

It was very bad. There were a lot of driftwoods and big stones.

I think that it has long time to restore.

11/17 クリスマスシーズン到来

Recently, I've been busy because I have to prepare for a presentation of my dissertation.

November 19, I have to read a paper for about one hour.

So, I've written an abstract for that day.

By the way, I've walked every day for my health. Today I saw Christmas tree at the station when I walked. It was beautiful.

I don't like winter, but I like only Christmas because cities are very gorgeous!!

10/16 浜離宮公園

October 16, I went to Hama-Rikyu Park to see cosmos with my girl friend.

It was very sunny day! We could see many cosmoses there.

The park is near Shiodome station. So there were a lot of office buildings around the park.

To tell the truth. Tokyo has many green parks, but there are a few people who know that.

10/13 大観覧車とはやぶさ

October 11, I went to Kasai-Rinkai Park with my girl friend. We went to a birds garden in the park.

But, we couldn't watch rare birds. In the first place, there were a few birds this day.

We went to ride a big Ferris wheel in the park. This Ferris wheel is the biggest in Japan.

It takes 17 minutes a round.



We went to see a movie to Maihama. We saw "HAYABUSA". I'm not familiar with a space satellite, but I could know a lot of that through the movie.

9/24～25 講義～軽井沢

September 24, I went to Niigata to lecture as an instructor.

About one hour, I lectured about a culture of Japan sea area.

I finished a lecture at about 17:30, and soon I went to karuizawa.

My father, mother and my pet dog named Tiny had stayed at cottage near Karuizawa station.

We joined together at the station. Tiny was surprised and happy very much when I got out a ticket gate, because he didn't know that I came any more.

We had a dinner at a cottage together.

Next day, September 25, we met my big brother and his wife and we had a lunch.

We ate Yakiniku and Korean foods.

After lunch, we went to see Shiraito-no-Taki, white string fall, and it's famous in Karuizawa.

We left for home at 16:00.

We were tired but had a very good time.

9/17～19 ゼミ合宿

From September 17 to 19, I participated in a seminar of a graduate school.

A seminar was held at Izu.

For 3 days, we studied and read papers about philosophy and bioethics.

It was very stimulative for me.

I read a paper about a design of my dissertation, and I got good response.

I'll write my dissertation while using a discussion at this seminar.

I could see Mt.Fuji from a hill near a seminar house. It was very beautiful!

9/14 ウォーキング中

I've walked every day for my health.

I walk about 4 km per day.

Sometimes I jog.

Today I saw a full moon when I walked.

The moon was beautiful and big.

9/12 天王洲アイル

I went to Tennozu-Aisle to have a lunch with my girlfriend.

The restraint is near a wharf. So it was very pleasant place for eating.

We ate American size hamburger and big pizza.

It tasted nice.

Tennozu-Aisle has many good and stylish restaurants and cafes.

I haven’t known that.

I want to come again before long.

9/3 沖縄旅行④

September 3, the last day we stayed, we went to Kokusai-Douri Street to buy souvenir.

I bought some Okinawa's sweets and ornaments.

We went to see "Eisa" festival to a stadium where is near Kokusai-Douri street.

"Eisa" festival is a folk dance festival in Okinawa.

It was very fun.

We left for home at eight.

9/2 沖縄旅行③

September 2, we went to see Emerald Beach again.

And we went to the ocean culture center and Okinawa's provincial village.

We experienced "Syamisen" which is Okinawa's old guitar.

It was very interesting but was difficult to play.

At noon we went to Naha city. And we walk Kokusai-Douri Street. It's the biggest street in Okinawa.

There are many shops; souvenir shops, food shops, restaurants and so on.
