Vol.68 My Golden Week (3rd day-2)
After having ramen we visited a winery and tasted some local wine.
We had ice cream wih wine flavor, too.
We went to Yonezawa City, where it is known as castle town.
I was moved by the following phrase;
"If you try, you can make it. If you don't try, you can't make it."
On our way to get back home, we stopped at Namedu Falls.
It was not such a big fall.
We bought braches of Actinidia for our pet as souvenir.
In the evening, we all had dinner at a Japanese style pub where mother works at.
We enjoyed drinking syoutyu and beer with eating delicious meals.
We went home on foot although it is about 2 km between our house and the shop.
We really enjoyed walking, too.
By the way, our cat was captivated by the matatabi.
She seemed to be the happiest of all.

これにてＧＷ日記完結です。
観光した場所は印象にはありません。
それよりも久しぶりに過ごした家族との時間が楽しいと思えたＧＷでした。
次回帰るときは良いニュースを手土産にできるようこれからまた頑張ります。

Vol.66 My Golden Week (3rd day)
The 3rd day, we got up earlier to go to Okama near the top of the Mountain Zao.
This place is a lake made after volcanic eruption.
Last time was almost 20 years ago I visited there.
We left for Okama at 6:30, but the way to it was closed until 8:00.
So we waited for the gate openning.
It is already in May, but the alpine regions have still snow.
To see Okama we ran to the Observatory.
But it was so cold windy that we could not see it well.
So we took pictures quickly and rushed to a rest house.
I am O.K even if the temperature there is below zero, but I do not like to be exposed by the cold wind.
Anyway I enjoyed myself a lot.
We visited a museum of "Hamada Hirosuke" by father's reccomendation.
He is known as a writer of stories for children.
I watched a short film "The crying red devil".
Frankly speaking, I did not feel interesting.
After that we went to a famoue Temple called "Kameoka Monjyu".
This temple is known as a temmple of the god of academic achievements.
Every time before I and my sister take examm my parents come here to wish for our success.
Thanks to praying, I never faild to pass examm.
I passed along past thanks to the god, and prayed for giving me success again.
At launch we went to a ramen shop.
This shop is aloso father's recommendation, but it was not so yummy.
But people standed in life waiting for remen.
# 火山の噴火口にある湖
lake in the volcano's crater
* 高地では6月でもまだ雪が残っている。
The alpine regions still have snow in June.
# 童話作家
writer of stories for children
学問の神として
as the god of academic achievements.
# 私は両親に感謝の気持ちを伝えた。
I passed along thanks to my parents.

Vol.65 My Golden Week
I really enjoyed having a wonderful Golden week.
The first day, I had delicious food prepared by my mom with satisfaction.
All those were very tasty, but the most tasty one was rice cooked with bomboo shoot.
The second day, we went to Matsuhima.
On the way to Matsushima, we ate some local oysters.
It was O.K.
The area around Matsushima was too crowded with many cars.
So we decided to see the center of Matsushima after seeing Okumatsushima.
I was not so moved by Matsushima because I have visited there several times, and it was cloudy and rainny.
That night we enjoyed drinking and eating meal cooked by mother.
Father showed me old pictures when I was a child.
When I saw pictures I was taken with father I thought I really resemble him.
For example, his gesture looks just like mine as well as his looking.
I wish I would not be my father.

Vol.64 I found a laugh!
Yesterday was a pretty day for me and also my friend.
photo
I got toghther at 19:00 in Shinjyuiku Station.
He called me and said to me that,
"Where are you? Now I am in front of the police box at the east exit."
When he called me I was waiting for him at the south exit.
Because he told me that he would wait for me there.
So, I rushed off to the police box.
On finding him from the crowd, I greeted him with a tree frog hug.
We walked together arm in arm.
Maybe you feel our action strange because there is no custom like that in Japan.
And even if it exists they will be considered as homo sexual.
But you know, it is quite natural that walking arm in arm between man and man or woman and woman in arabic society.
During with his conversation I remembered more Arabic language than yesterday.
It was like a flood.
But I had forgot simple words and I felt my pronouciation worse.
We walked round for a good restaurant because we were very hungry.
But I was not familiar with Shinjyuku, and because he is muslim he can not eat and drink any food cantaining alcohol and pig material.
So it took about a hour to find out English Pub "HUB".
He tried to order nonalcohol beer,
But they did not have it.
I wanted to drink alcohol but I ordered pine apple juice because I kewn it is bad manner to drink alcohol in front of muslim.
As for food, we had fish and chips as well as pizza.
We had a wonderful coversation and we laughed so much.
After that I knew he likes to sing songs,
so I invited him to go out to Karaoke.
It seemed to be the 3rd time for him to sing in Karaoke.
He is good at singing!
He likes European rock music very well.
His pronounciation in English is like a singer.
He shouted a lot.
I also sang English songs like "Imagine","Help" and "Cherry" and so on.
To my surprise, he began to sing "Donnatokimo".
He can not read Japanese lyrics but he learned it by his heart!
Before saying goodbye,
he kindly gave me some presents.
One is for me, and the other one is for my parents.
Yesterday's my failure was...
Although I knew there is custom that the part of the host must pay money for the guest, he paid money more quickly than I at the register.
I insited on paying but it was too late.
During visiting his country he often paid for me.
Even though I insisted on paying he refused and said,
"When I visit Japan, buy me some."
So I was going to pay for him.
But I paid for him in Karaoke.
So it is O.K.
Anyway, I enjoyed myself a lot.
And I laughed so much.
I had forgotten to lagh until I met him.
*greet someone with a tree frog hug
アマガエルのように跳び付いて（人）を出迎える
* 今日は私にとってとてもいい日だった。
Today was a pretty good day for me.
# 待ち合わせる
get together
* 駅の南口から出る
leave the station by the south exit
* ミーティングに急いで向かう
rush off to a meeting
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
一年ぶりに友人と再会。
パブでご飯を食べてその後カラオケ。
野郎二人で、しかも外国人とカラオケって変な気分でしたｗ
おかしかったのが彼がマイクで「タノシー！」と絶叫したこと。
そんなヤツ日本にいませんｗ
彼とはこんなことも話しました。たとえば、
日本と彼の国では「友達」の意味が違う。
さびしくなったとき、会いたくなったとき、困ったときに、
すぐに駆けつけてくれるのが友達。
でも、日本ではそうじゃない。
一週間前に電話やメールで約束しないと会えない。
うわべだけでつながっている友達が多いように思う。
とか。
そして、別れ際に彼にこう言った。
「何か困ったことがあったらすぐ連絡して。あっちにいたときよりも仲良くなろう」
さて、久しぶりに話したアラビア語。
さすがに一年も話していないと忘れてしまいますね。
全盛期の３割くらいしか話せませんでした。
英語も一緒で、毎日勉強することが大事ですね。
「継続は力なり」です。

Vol.63 Surprise
I have a good news.
Yesterday I found an e-mail address of my friend from my PC.
So immediately I told him that I am willing to welcome him anytime he visits Japan.
But to my surprise he replied, and he said
photo
"Hi! How are you? Now I am in Japan! My cellphone is XXXXXX"
I was happy to see it, and then I called him.
It was also surprising that I started to speak in Arabic.
I still remember Arabic even though it has passed almost one year since I left.
Fortuntely, he could enter Tokyo Univ.
I am going to see him tommorow.
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊*＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
久しぶりにメールしてみたら、なんと彼は今東大に留学中とのこと。
まさかこんなに近くにいたとは・・・ｗ
彼と電話で話した瞬間、頭の隅にあったアラビア語が洪水のようにわーっと押し寄せてきました。俺の脳細胞、まだまだいけるぞｗ
ということで明日会ってきます。
