I went to Kyoto with my girl friend. At first we went to see Kinkakuji temple.

There were many people, and almost foreigner.

Kinkakuji which was shined by sunset was very beautiful!



Next we went to Kitano-tanmangu shrine and Kiyomizedera temple.

I prayed that my dissertation which had written passed smoothly.

We saw Christmas tree at Kyoto station.



We went back to a hotel at Kobe at night.

12/20～23 神戸旅行①

From December 20 to 23 I traveled to Kobe with my girl friend.

Maybe it was for the first time in 5 years I visited in Kobe.

December 20

We arrived at Kobe at 11 am. And we went to Myoudani station. This station was nostalgic place for me because when I was a child, I lived around this area.

We went to see my junior high school and home where I lived.



These were really sweet pleasure to see my hometown after such a long time.

We went to Mt. Rokko by cable car.

The sight from Mt. Rokko was very beautiful! We could see all around Kobe city from this place.

But it was cold very much.

12/10 講演会

December 10, I went to Wakayama to give a lecture.

It was first time for me to give a lecture in so many public. There were about 200 audiences.

After a lecture, a panel discussion was held. Except for me, participators of a panel discussion were very popular professors. So, I was nervous very much.

This lecture and panel discussion were reported on a newspaper.

I prepared for this day for a long time. I was nervous but these lecture and discussion were good experience for me.

My girl friend came to listen to my lecture from Chiba to Wakayama.

Next day, We went to Shirahama and played at Adventure World.

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!
