Huis Ten Bosch

In winter vacation, I went to Huis Ten Bosch in Nagasaki. I went there with Ayumi, Mina, Misaki, Reika, Sachi, Sakiko and Wakana. We took the package tour of JR so we can go there by train. It costed only 13,000 yen for the round trip fare between Kumamoto station and Huis Ten Bosch station, the entrance fee and the Hotel fee.
↓We stayed at this hotel!

↓The building over there is the hotel where we stayed.

↓This is a picture which I took from our room.

When we went there, we could enjoy the beautiful illuminations.
This building is the church in Huis Ten Bosch.↓

↓This is the palace. It looks like the Palace of Versailles!

If you wanna go there, I recommend you to take the JR plan!

Pudding in the morning.


Last Wednesday morning, I had a class for TOEIC. Before the class, Reika and I went to seven-eleven and bought sweets. Reika ate an eclair and I ate a pudding! It is very pleasant to eat sweets!

Class Exercise4:Blood type and Sign

On May 14, we talked about our blood types and signs.
My blood type is B. Many people say that I don't look B. However, some friends who know me for a long time say that I am sometimes B. People whose blood type is B are said that they are selfish, don't care what others think and be apt to be moody. As a good point, they are frank.
I was born on January 6 and my sign is Capricorn. The symbol is horns of the Goat. According to the text, people whose sign is Capricorn think that their jobs are very importand and they are ambitious and have opinions about every thing. They always see the down side and sometimes think that only bad things will happen. They are narrow-minded in their thinking. There are not any good points for this sign...
I talked with Reika and Kasumi.
Reika's blood type is O and people whose blood type is O are said that they are sweeping, sociable, unyielding and romantic person. Yes, Reika is romantic!
Her sign is Virgo and the symbol of this sign is Young woman. People say that they are usually very pure and good, but sometimes do bad things. They know a lot of things because they enjoy learning about new things. Reika knows a lot of new things!!
Kasumi's blood type is A. This kind of people are said that they are punctual, heat and tidy, cool-headed, careful, reserved, worrisome and annoying.
Her sign is Taurus whose symbol is the bull. This kind of people are said that they are quiety and careful and have a lot of endurance. They are always loyal. However, they are upset with people who change their mind all the time. May be some points are apply to her character.

My dogs




I have two dogs. One is a miniature schnauzer. His name is Ruiji. Another is a mix. Her name is Charo.
Ruiji is 7 years old. He likes biscuits and bread. He wants to eat everything I ate. When I am eating something, he stands up and clap my arm to tell me that he wants to eat it. Miniature schnauzer has eyebrows and a mustasce. So, he is like an old man. He has long eyelashes. His tail is very short and very pretty!
I don't know how old Charo is because she and her puppy were abandoned in the mountain. She is very strong and she pulls me when I take her to the walk. She runs up to me when I give her biscuits, and runs away soon after she eats. She is a sharp operator, tyakkarimono in Japanese!

Book Review 4:PEANUTS Take a Hike, Snoopy!


Snoopy is a dog, the world famous Beagle. In this story, he is a scout leader and go hike with his friends, yellow birds. Those yellow birds have their own names; Woodstock, Harriet, Conrad and Bill. As a leader, Snoopy knows a lot about hiking and how to survive in the wildness, but his friends know nothing about hiking and what they should bring with them. In addition, those yellow birds always follow after Snoopy and gather around Snoopy’s feet. So, Snoopy teaches how to promote self reliance to them … but it does not help Snoopy. Just then, Charlie Brown, the owner of Snoopy is wondering where Snoopy and is friend are. And Charlie is happy when Snoopy comes home. So, he buys a big tent to sleep out side, next to the Snoopy’s dog house. Snoopy is also very happy to hear this and runs into Charlie’s room ... to sleep in the Charlie’s bed.
I love Snoopy and his friends. Snoopy changes his character story be story. Most of his stories are his imagination, and he often is a hero in his stories but it is very interesting to read his experiences.

Book Review 3:MATILDA


Matilda is a 5-year-old girl who can read novels do multiplication mentally. She is a genius. She also has telekinetic power. Thanks to the powers, she revenge herself on her parents and the headmistress of her school.
This story is very interesting. Matilda is a sweet girl who is only 5 years old, but she reads a lot of novels: Oliver twist, The Old Man and the Sea, Pride and Prejudice and so on. She always seek her revenge on those who hate Matilda, but it sometimes help not only herself but also other people, for example her teacher and friends. I like this brave girl.

The finish line for rubber-ball baseball


Today, I went to FUJISAKIDAI stadium for my part time job. It was the finish line for rubber-ball baseball. Kaishin high school and Kumamoto agricultual high school had the game and Kaishin high school won for 1-0! It took more than 4 hours because the game was interrupted by the rain. Thanks to the ground keepers, we could finish that game.
The picture is the closing ceremony and the awarding ceremony. Players are walking the diamond, on the bases.
