France!!

I always stop in front of the guide books of France in book stores. Some of my friends have been there and most of them like this country. They often tell me that this country is worth visiting at least once and they recommend me to go there. I want to know why many people like France. I think it is because there are many delicious foods in this country. Many people like French cuisine and so do I. I want to try genuine French food. I also want to find cute sweets which I rarely find in Japan. For example, macarons and guimauves. There is not only delicious food but also many places to see in France. The Louvre is the best place where I want to go. I want to see the Mona Lisa in the Louvre. This country has 31 world heritages so I want to see some of them. For example, Mont Saint-Michel and Palace of Park Versailles. Moreover, France is the best “jumping point”, I think. It is because that there are a huge air port (Charles de Gaulle) and stations where we can take on Eurostar. If I want to go to other countries from France, I can use these convenient transportations because it’s easy to cross the borders in the countries which are participated in Euro. So I want to cross the borders on a train! This country has many good foods, beautiful places and convenient transportation. That’s why I want to go there someday!!!^^

About blogging


I found more things through my pictures after my starting my personal blog. I like taking pictures so I often took pictures but I took much more pictures since I started blogging. I think I’ve took more than 1500 pictures in 6 months! It not only for blog but also for me to remember what I did. Sharing pictures which I took is also important for me to make people happy. I often show pictures of delicious food, lovely animals and beautiful places. People who read my post write about how they thought about my pictures and my experiences. Sometimes they tell me some ideas and their experiences! Then I see my pictures again and find new things! So I think blogger is a very useful function to share the information and thought of people. That’s why I often put many pictures on my blog posts! I like sharing my experience with people.^^

My favorite belonging

I can’t throw away my cell phone! I often bring my cell phone with me because has a lot of functions and it’s very useful. Cell phone is important for me to make contact with people who are emotionally close to me. Especially it’s very important to communicate with my family. Sometimes it’s annoying, though… Recently I had a quarrel with my mom so I sometimes leave my cell phone in my room! :-P (Now I can part with my cell phone! haha) However, the advantage of cell phone is what we can always bring much information with it. It has all of the phone number of my friends. So if I lost my cell phone, I can’t make contact with them… Cell phone has other functions. We can reserve tickets, search on internet and call somebody by using cell phone. I like the alarm clock of my cell phone. Cell phone is small and it is easy to select time so I bring it to the other countries to use it as alarm clock. I always use my cell phone as an alarm clock so if it doesn’t work, I’ll sleep until noon or more. :-P My cell phone is useful and I use it every day so I think it’s my favorite belonging!

My best memory in 2010!




I cultivated my friendship with my friends in China. I left Japan 3 days after coming back to Japan from Monterey for China with my two friends. One was a Chinese exchange student in Kendai and she can speak Chinese. The other was a Japanese student and she studied Chinese with me at Kendai. We were good friends before going to China but after going there our friendship became tightly.



We went to Shanghai and Dalian in China and then “Shanghai Expo” was held in Shanghai.



There were many pavilions at Shanghai Expo. We went to Japan pavilion, China pavilion, and Turkey pavilion.


In Shanghai, my Chinese friend’s acquaintances guided us. Sometimes her cousin took us to great restaurants! We had too much food and all of us gained weight.

One day, my Chinese friend went to meet her friend at a university in Dalian so I went to eat something with the other friend. But it was difficult for us to order the food because we had studied Chinese for only a half year… Although it was tough to communicate in Chinese, English was so useful and helpful for us to talk with Chinese at a shop.



Traveling in other countries, especially in the countries which we don’t know the language is difficult and challenging. But our friendship become tightly after going to these countries with our friends. My trip in China is one of my best memory in 2010.
