I went to Paris via Shanghai from July13 to 19

and now I'm recovering form jet lag.

Paris is so beautiful city that I can't express everything in my words,

but I strongly recommend to go there the people who have never been.

the Star festival

July 7 is the Star festival's day in Japan.
Children write their wishes in the strips of fancy paper and decorate the bamboo with lots of ornament made of Origami and
that papers.

How about Korea?

Tokyo Disney Resort

I went to Tokyo Disney Resort last weekend with a friend.

On Sat, we went into Disney Land and on Sunday,

Disney sea.

We could enjoy some new attractions. One of them, The Tower of Terror in Disney sea is the hottest now.

Of course we rode it and that picture is in the highest position of this diary.

PIRATES of the CARIBBIAN ～AT WORLD'S END～

I went to see the movie, PIRATES of the CARIBBIAN ～AT WORLD'S END～ the night before yesterday and today I found this picture which three main characters are in.

I think all of them look better in the movie.

When I see this picture,

I could misunderstand them as just really cool people but actually huge number of audiences have lost their heart to them after watching this series of movie.

they act pireates completely!!

As of my type, I love Johnny Depp. ha ha !

Yesterday's dishes I cooked at the school.

This is some Japanese foods and after I ate them, I also ate sweets named KUZU MANJYU.

Aim at TOEIC exam in this month.

I'm going to take the TOEIC exam on 24th of this month and only 2 weeks left.

Nowadays I use a textbook of a sample exam to study.

Actually I don't spare long time to prepare,
but I'm trying to study everyday even on the short time and
at least, I want to finish reviewing all over the book.

Although this book is thin, it has the excellent explanations for each question.
So I should use it as effective as possible.

Before I had bought a electric blender and rubber spatula for cooking, but I haven't used yet.

Tokyo banana series

Last weekend, my brother came back to our home from Tokyo and

gave this wet Baumkuhen to us as a souvenir.

It's a series of 'Tokyo banana'.

Tokyo banana is a really popular souvenir of Tokyo and

they've been producing new sweets of banana every year.

We can't take our eyes off them.

This Baumkuhen has three layers of colours, yellow, light brown and dark brown

and each of parts have different tastes.

Yellow is plane, light brown is banana,

and dark brown is chocolate!!

It was really tasty☆彡

To our surprise,

Yesterday's afternoon, I attended the cooking class in Kanayama and
I met two ex-corworkers by totally accident!

I go to the school for more than a year but
it was a trial lessen for them.

Actually I met one of them in the underground shoppoing area in Nagoya station about a month ago also by chance,
but I met her and the other co-worker today.
It's a very surprising thing.

We worked at the same company before but none of us continue working there and
we didn't meet again after we quit that job.
Yesterday, we met again after 3 years.

We'll have the chances to meet at the same cooking school
if they decide to go there.

As for cooking, I baked cheese cake with orange flavor and
they baked some breads with salted cod roe spiced with red pepper.

Business trips to Tobisima village

I took this picture in front of our head office in Tobisima.

I have to say for the people they don't know about me well

that I work at a branch office in Nagoya city.

Tobisima is a small village near Nagoya port and these days I have to go there to receive the bisiness trainnings.

Last week, I went there twice. At the first day, I took some lessons in a meeting room but the second day, I spent almost a day in a trailer with a woman driver.

She is very nice person and she acted very kindly to me.

She explained about her job and she also talked with me a lot besides topics about the business.

So we could spend very fruitful time.

When the time we had to say good buy, we felt so sad that we didn't say the things like

'take care of your health, du your best and good bye.'

Just we said,

'See you next time, thank you so much!'

A Green Park

I went to the Green park close to my house and saw beautiful flowers in the greenhouse.
