December 20 and 22

I went to teikoku-yakiniku with Narisa, Megumu, Eri, Chonchon-san, Yusen, Mira, Purin, Yuna, Clark to cerablate for Eri and Yusen's birthday on December 20. We gave Yusen a birthday card we made and he was so pleased with it. We were also so glad. We took many photos and enjoyed talking. Narisa showed us how to do hengao and it was too funny to stop laughing. After having dinner, we went to the dorm and ate ganach Narisa and I had made. I was so happy to hear that they said "it is so good!" I had a great time.

I had TKB-party at Takebe-sensei's house at night. I work at a cram school and we are so close. I picked up Shiiba-sensei and Riko-chan and went there. I was surprised that Satou-sensei and Matsumoto-sensei put on Santa and Tonakai's clothes. haha We had a takoyaki, chiken and ice cream. I enjoyed played games after a long time with Ken-chan and Minawa-sensei. It was really fun!

Other Facilities

There are some useful facilities outside near SMU. For example, RBC, the post office, the drug store and so on. First, I am going to talk about RBC. RBC stands for Royal Bank of Canada. Most exchange students make their account there. Jordan who is an exchange student from SMU, his mother works there. Next, let me show you about the post office. It takes about 5 minutes to walk there. If you want to send something, you should go there and ask clerk. Finally, I am going to explain the drug store. I heard from exchange students from SMU that the store's name is Shoppers and it is very useful. You can get commodities there.

COSTCO

Yesterday I went to COSTCO in Fukuoka I¥with Narisa, Chonchon-san, Clark, Jonah, Ian, Jordan and Purin-chan in Narisa's car. It was the first time for me to go there. When we got there and entered the store, I was very surprised that everything was too big!!! We had lunch and real pizza was so good! After having lunch, we did shopping. I laughed a lot because exchange students matched the store. lol I couldn't believe that I was in Japan then,. I felt like being in America or Canada. After finishing shopping in COSTCO, we went to UNIQLO and I also laughed a lot. Every time I said "Its so cute!" when I found cute clothes, Clark and Jonah said, "Its cute but useless." How many times did we do the same conversation? lol While going to the dorm, we laughed a lot. Narisa and I didn't know that Ian had a remote so we thought the volume of music was turned up automatically. Everyone was crazy! When we got to the dorm, we had dinner watching the movie. I had a great crazy happy time. Thank you for everyone!

Domitories

I'm going to introduce dormitories to you. Saint Mary's university has 3 dormitories, Rice, Loyola and Vanier. If you study in Canada, I will recommend Rice. This dormitory is the best. It has common bathrooms, living rooms and kitchens. You have to cook for yourself but you can eat what you want. Most of my friends who have studied in Canada before chose Rice. Next, let me tell you about the others. Loyola has meal plan, common bathrooms, beds and desks. Also, Vanier has the same things. If you don't want to cook for yourself, you can choose Loyola or Vanier. There is a interesting thing. If you find a cockroach, people who kill a cockroach as a job will come and kill it. You can use the internet anytime at every dorm.

Weekend

I went to Pikaichi which is a beauty salon last Saturday. After that, I went to work. I talked with Misa-san and Robert for 3 hours on skype for the first time in 3 months. I was sooooo happy to see them. I really wanted to go to Canada when I was talking with them. I went shopping with my mom on Sunday. I bought some clothes after a while. I have two favorite shops in Yatsushiro.

Library

I am going to introduce the library to you. It opens from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and has 4 floors. There are many PCs at the first floor and many books and group learning rooms from the second floor to the top floor. You can drink and eat there. There is a food coat called Just Us! It opens at 8:00 a.m. and I hear that many people stand in the line every morning. Muffins and coffee are very popular because they are so cheap and good. When you look for some books you need, you should go to the information and ask clerks because there are too many books so you can't find them without their help. When I go to SMU, I want to make best use of this library.

On November 23, I had a nabe-party at TKB-sensei's house after the job with Shiba-sensei, Minawa-sensei, Matsumoto-sensei, sato-sensei and Ken-chan. I ate, ate and ate! It was so delicious. I took many photos and laughed a lot. I like being with them so much. I want to have a party again soon.

My favorite high school memory

I am going to talk about my favorite high school memory. I have many good memories of high school. I went to Yatsuhsiro high school. My most favorite memory is that we got the first prize at the basketball tournament. Yatsushiro high school is an academic school so we had to study very hard. It was natural that we had preparation. After school, we practiced playing basketball for a few hours. Our school’s sport festival is famous for Yatsushiro because of performances. All of the teammates wanted to be cheerleaders but we were not allowed to do so. Our coach said, “Sport festival is just event but a basketball isn’t one. If you want to be cheerleaders, quit basketball club.” So we chose basketball. I will never forget the feeling when we got the first prize.

My favorite movie

I am going to talk about my favorite movie. I like movies so much, especially Disney. Beauty and the beast is one of my most favorite movies. I have been to the musical in Fukuoka when I was a primary school student. It was awesome! There are many princesses in Disney and I like Bell the best! Bell is a princess and fell in love with prince but he is a beast. I don’t know how many times I have watched the movie. I like not only the story but also the music. The music makes me feel happy. ‘Something there’ is the best one. When the song is playing, Bell is getting to like him. I love this scene so much. I have never watched the movie in English so if I have a chance, I want to do so.

My favorite drink

I am going to talk about my favorite drink. I think if almost all of the people are asked “What is your favorite drink?” they answered some alcohol. However my most favorite drink is WATER!!! When some of my friends ask me the question, I always answer it, and they laugh a lot. I have never drunk. So I don’t know whether I like drinking or not. Probably after I turn over 20 years old, I think I will not drink. Water matches every meal. Even in Winter, I drink it. I can’t drink pop either. So everyone tells me that I can’t drink anything without water. But I like juice, and when I go to the party like that, I drink juice instead water. But water is the best drink, I’m sure.

My favorite vacation memory

I am going to talk about my vacation memory. I went to Narisa’s cottage this summer. It is located in Takamori, Aso. It was the first time to go to cottage. It is very beautiful and cute! I went there with Narisa, Yuki, Yukiko, Yui, Megumu and Kanako. It was so awesome. We had BBQ, enjoyed dancing and singing and did fireworks. After that, we went to hot spring near the cottage. It made us relax. We watched 3 DVDs at night. At first, we watched ‘DRAG TO THE HELL’ and screamed a lot!!! It was so scary. Kanako and I could not help hiding our face with pillows. I think we will never watch it. I was so happy to make a great memory with my lovely friends. I want to go there again!

My favorite dessert

I am going to talk about my favorite dessert. I like sweets so much. However full I feel, I still have room for dessert! I think every girl has it! My most favorite dessert is chocolate. Boys can receive chocolate for Valentine’s Day. I wish I were a boy on the day every year! I am happy when I am eating chocolate. I hear that when you feel tired, if you eat chocolate, it makes your brain activate so whenever I eat chocolate before taking the TOEFL. Every time I hope that chocolate will give me high score. When I was a high school student, some of my friends gave me chocolate when I am sleepy. Probably I can’t live without chocolate.

My favorite travel

I like traveling so much. If I have a chance to travel, I always go somewhere with my friends. Sometimes I travel by train and sometimes by car. I live in Yatsushiro now but I had lived in Minamata for 8 years so there are many of my friends there. Whenever I go there, I always take a train because I can see the beautiful sea. I like watching the view from the window. When I am free, I use a mobile phone. However, when I go to Minamata, I forget to use it because of the beautiful view. When I travel by car, I enjoy talking with my friends and listening to music. The time just flies by. If I can, I want to go to Korea by ship next time.

Megumu and I laughed at Chonchon-san because he played taiko-no-tatsujin too well!!! We took purikura and went back to KGU, and went to Yayoi-ken to have dinner. I had a great time with them. Thank you so much!

Nevember 11 Yakiniku!!!!






I went to Teikoku-yakiniku with Eri, Megumu, Purin, Hyerin and Juhee after school. It was the first time for me to go there. We ate, ate and ate!!! we enjoyed talking about many things so much! Every time I talk with exchange students, I think not only it is fun but also I can learn many things from them. I think it so cute that Korean and Chinese people speak Japanese! We took many photos with oranges! Why do you think we did such a thing? Because we like tagging someone on facebook. After having dinner, I went to Megumu's house with Hyerin and Juhee, and uploaded that day's photos on facebook. It was soooo funny!!! We said goodbye to Juhee and Purin and started tagging! haha Chonchon-san changed his profile photo and we couldn't help laughing! I stay at Megumu's house at least one a week. Megumu, thank you so much :)
