～'EIINKAI' Sep 23rd, 2006 at Yamachan, Kanayama～

Last night, I joined a English-drinking circle, EIINKAI whchi tucci recommended to me before.
The conception of the circle is to enjoy speaking English and drinking.

This time, we ate lots of Tebasakis at Yamachan.
(Tebasaki is a speciality of Nagoya.)
And spoke in English a little! ^-^

Special thanks*tucci, macha, chobin and everyone who attended the party.

This is a strap for a cell phone and this hiragana; the Japanses cursive syllabary means Azusa.
The place where I bought this was a train.
The train's name was Azusa.

How come there are trains which names are Azusa...?
It's because 'Azusa' is the river's name in Nagano, Japan
and the trains run by the way of Nagano.

～Birth day present　Ⅱ～
My close friend gave me this bear with a message card and macarones.

Although it's belated to say, the day before last, September 12th was my 27th birthday!
They were pieces of cakes for me and one of them has gone to my stomack. It was really nice.

And then, to my surprise, a co-worker gave me a birthday present today.I often have lunch with her but I didn't expect that at all, soit was a really happy surprise.^^

Hi there, how have you been?

Today I went to cooking shool and made three dishes; Niku jaga, Oyako don and miso soup.

These three are very popular Japanes dishes and we should cook them well.

It's not difficult to make, but I wanted to know how to make them better.


Usually I don't cook at home again after I learn some menus, but I think it's time to start on review at home, otherwise, I won't be able to improve my ability to cook so much.

So... wait for a while, my family!

I need your help to put pressure on myself, so I'm telling.

Tonight, I received a parcel and it contented the textbooks for writing e-mail in English.
It's supposed to be finished within 3 months and if we couldn't finish in time,
we can extend 3 more months for free.

Recently I felt that I really needed to brush up my English for my job
and I made my mind to take that correspondence course.

Keep your eyes on me so as not to stop studying English!^^;

Do you like your present job? Or...
Which job was the most impressive for you so far?

This is about my work place where I could meet lots of people.
It was the cram school which teachers tought only compositions, reading comprehension and description of Japanese to the students from elementary to high school.

I liked that place and there were some reasons.

One of the biggest reasons was that there were many unique people I'd never known each other include workers, students and their family.

Sometimes I learn very important things in our life from students,
the other time, I was encoureged by my boss.
Besides, I was inspired by teachers.

The other reason was....
I've been good at Japanse since I was a student and I like writing essays.
I could make the most of my ability in that job.

Even though there were many people whose ability was much higher than me,
still I could enjoy working there.^^

I go to a cooking school with a friend and we started to go there on this March.
Last Sunday, we cooked pasta with tomatoes and tuna
and fried whitefish with tar tar sauce.

My friend, I and a woman was in a table and
we talked over those dishes.

The woman was going to live in Germany within a few months
because her husband will be transferred the branch in Germany.

To hear her story, we astonished and
we were envious ^^;

Hi I'm Azusa.
I'm handling the trading business and I have to use English sometimes.
But recently I have much less chances to study it than before.
That's one of the reason I decided to have this blog.

Feel free to visit here and leave some comments.

Although I'm new here and I don't know how to enjoy here yet,
I want to adjust soon ^-^

Let's enjoy together!!
