Summer Fun Activities

Usually every summer I like to go to Mount Aso with my family. My wife has a summer home owned by her mother and father. It is located near Aso town. We enjoy going there and spending a week, and we see many sights and relax a lot!

Before we go, we prepare for the trip by packing our clothes, books, swimming suit, many DVD's, food, and our computer. When we set out to go, we usually stop at a convenience store on the way. Therre, we stock up on some beer, snacks, water, and anything else we may need. Sometimes we even stop for lunch at one of the many small and cozy restaurants along the way. Once there, we unpack everything, and take a walk. Then we get ready for my favorite event - a barbecue with beef, pork, chicken, vegetables, garlic, potatoes, and of course, beer!

Sometimes we like to travel during summer. In 2008, we went to the US Island of Guam. It was very fun! In 2009, we went to Malaysia and Borneo. This trip was amazing - we could see much wildlife of every kind. I saw things I had never seen before! In 2010, we went to Cambodia. We visited Angkor Wat. It was very interesting and amazing. I want to go there again!

I think this summer will be fantastic too. Perhpas we will go to America, but not quite sure when. I will get some omiage for you!

My Golden Week Holiday, 2011

During this Golden Week I went to Mount Aso with my family. My in-laws have a cottage in Mount Aso, near Aso town. We went there and stayed for three days. It was very beautiful and relaxing. On the first day we went to Farmland. On the next day it was raining so we did some shopping. On the third day we went to visit a friend of mine in Choyo village and enjoyed chatting for a long time over coffee. Then we went to Strong Boss cafe and had a lunch of cheeseburgers, fries, salad, and beer! We came back last night at about 10, so I am very tired today! I can't wait for Golden Week next year.

Last Days

This is a blog about the last days of class, not about the last days of the world. My gosh...I really don't think the world is coming to an end, do you? Let's think and write about it. Share your ideas on this blog.

Also, if anyone has had any supernatural, strange, or unexplained event happen in their lives, let's share that too. If anything, it makes for fun reading.

Catch ya later!

My Winter Vacation

Hey there!

Sorry long time no entry :(. This winter I went skiing in Hokkaido with my family. We went to Niseko, about 3 hours northwest of Sapporo. It was very beautiful, and there was a lot of snow! It was like a winter wonderland.

The first day was spent traveling. I wanted to ski, but it took so long to get there! We had to go to Fukuoka to catch a flight, and then we had to catch a bus to Niseko. The bus ride was about 3 1/2 hours! We were so tired when we got there, so we ate a big dinner and slept.

On the next day, we woke up at about 7, ate  a big breaky, and then hit the slopes! It was like heaven. Beautiful snow and great powder! Everything I've ever heard about Hokkaido skiing is true...great powder and awesome skiing!

We skiied, ate, drank, slept, and skiied again...over and over! The entire 4 days were spent like this until, alas, it was time to go home.

Well, we undoubtedly will go skiing again next year, but where to then?? Hmmm, I can think of about a million places...
