I'm sooo tired!!!
|

I went to a job festival with my friends. I found it beneficial, but it made us tired.
After the festival, we went to a cafe and had a piece of cake. Girls like sweets very much
But unfortunately, my cake was not so good...

my treasure
|
|
I got a letter from a kindergarten student on Nov 24th.
I went to the U.S. this summer to teach Japanese, and I taught Japanese to kindergarten students there. They gave me cute pictures and one of them gave me a very cute card and her address on the day before leaving. A few weeks after I came bask to Japan, I wrote a letter and gave her a Hello Kitty card and its stickers. And then she wrote to me back!! She's so sweet!! I mentioned before, but I want to tell you what she wrote again. She wrote "my favorite letter is 縺イ." and "my favorite words are 縺励∪縺?縺セ(zebra) and 縺上∪(bear)." It seems she learned a lot of words! Kids have minds like sponges. The letter, the envelop, and the card that she made with her mother are absolutely wonderful She has an innate artistic ability, I guess. I really miss her and everyone in the kindergarten!! Anyway, thanks for priceless gifts!! I wanna go to see cute students next summer.

campus festival
|
|
I went to gaigo-sai, a campus festival of "Tokyo University of Foreign Studies" with my friends on Nov 23rd. There were various kinds of snack bars, for example, Chineese, Czech, Mongolian and so on. My friend bought various kinds of beer and I got Laotian beer! I don't like beer though We ate too much but had a good time And also, we saw belly dance show and the drama performed in Czech. They were awesome!!
After I came back home, my cousin came to our apartment to have dinner with us. We had kimuchi-nabe and Laotian beer It was a lot of fun!!

Kiyomizu temple is one of the most popular temples in Kyoto and my favorite!! it is known for the beautiful view of Kyoto city and its wide platform. Do you know Omikuji? Omikuji is a kind of fortune telling. It tells your fortune. Kiyomizu temple has Jishu shrine. At Jishu shrine, you can buy koi-uranai omikuji which tells you fortunes of love
