Golden Week

Today is a day-off, tomorrow is the same, the day after tomorrow is also a holiday......
This year, April 29 to May 7 is a holiday week called "Golden Week".
It's cloudy outside but looks shining because of Golden Week!!!
I don't have to go to work!!!! (Am I lazy?)

This week, I want to read lots of books that I bought yesterday, watch DVDs, go see movies, go to Onsen(a hot spring) studying languges.
Can I ever do so many things? I don't know but I'm soooooo happy and excited.
Well, first thing to do is go to my favorite cafe and sip afternoon coffee.

See you!

Have you ever...?

I went to my Mandarin school today and studied how to ask somebody's experiences like "have you ever ...?".
I REALLY enjoyed the lesson.
The key phrases are also useful to communicate with people to get to know each other.

Have you ever come to Japan?
Have you ever eaten Japanese food?
Have you ever seen Kitano movies?
Have you ever studied Japanese?
Have you ever taught your native tongue to your friends?
Have you ever studied "have you ever"?

Very interesting, isn't it?

10 of life's simple pleasures

I was suffering from a bad cold so I haven't come here for about a whole week.
Today I noticed that I had been tagged by Erin!
Okay, I'll write about 10 of life's simple pleasures.
I think writing and reading meme are interesting but it's hard to find 5 or more people who haven't been tagged yet. Don't you think so?

Well, let me see ......my 10 pleasures.
1 Friends. I mean real friends and super famous American TV drama series.
2 Studying languages. Now I'm studying English, Spanish, Mandarin(standard Chinese) and Italian. I can't speak well but it's enjoyable. If you are interested in Nihongo(Japanese) , please tell me!
3 Writhing blog and keeping in touch with bloggers.
4 MSN messenger
5 Traveling
6 Train. I love taking trains enjoying landscape and music with my i-pod.
7 Fengshui. It's from China and is my most favorite thing in my life! Have you heard it? Is it common in your country?
8 Starbucks. I really like spending time there..sipping sweet drinks, studying languages, reading books etc.
9 Massage.
10 Strolling in the early morning. Tokyo has nice places to look around.

I'm gonna go to find ten people.
Adios!

A Mysterious Pond

I found "Blue Lake" was smaller than a lake and the color was darker than blue.
Hmmm...it's hard to show how the pond looked mysterious...but please just look.
What do you think? How do you feel?

All ponds there but this one were green.
It was dark indigo blue and very clear. We could see some trees sunk on the bottom of it.
Scientists haven't solved the reason why the water looks so blue.
It's still a mystery.

My sister had a nice camera.
Today she's posted lots of lots of Hana's photos.




Well, I also enjoyed my train trip.
My favorite view was this one from my train window.

It's Japan Sea located in west of Japan, so the sun sets into it beautifully everyday..
....like this

Blue Lake

Do you like blue?

I'm going to have a short vacation this weekend to go see a lake located in northern Japan.

The lake is called "Ao ike" which means "Blue Lake".
I heard that it's VERY bule like indigo blue ink. Can you believe that?
I'm so curious to know whether it's true or not.
Besides, it's one of the world heritages. It must be nice!

I'll take photos!
