Yubari Melon

Yubari is bankrapt city. It is famous for melons. Now its melon is sold in US $ 1 million. I heard one of them was sold. Who bought it.

Soft ball

This morning I took part in the match of soft ball with my friends. Today was a preliminary of Sports Day which is like an athletic meet in my university. I was a pitcher. But I was poor at controllong a ball. So we lost in 28 to 2. We haven't practiced. Our enemy have practiced for a month. We should have practiced.

A Flat

Last week I had a flat of a rear wheel when I was going to university. But I have left it without repairing. I have two bikes. One is new one. The other is given by my senior. So I don't have to repair it. Now, however, I want to ride new one. So I must repair it.

Billiards

Billiards is one of my hobbies. Yesterday I played billiards with my friend in cybex. Cybex is very good place. We can play billiards, table tennis and so on over drinking juice.
Billiards have many games, but I don't know only "eight ball". So we did only eight ball. Both of us are beginners. So it took a long time to finish one game. When we did a nice play accidenatlly, we were very happy.
After billiards we played table tennis. It was after a long time for me to play it. I enjoyed very much. We had a very good time.
Next time I want to try "nine ball".

New Shoes

I bought a new shoes. My shoes had many tears. So I needed new one. I had had only sneakers before. I didn't have this type. Its sole is very thin. So I'm not used. But it is happy to wear it, because it makes me really excited. I want to use it carefully.

Lawson

Lawson is a famous convenient store in Japan. There are many Lawsons all over Japan. We can buy various things there, food, drink, stationeries, magazines and so on.
There is a Lawson near my house. But I haven't used it for a week for remodeling. It troubled me because I coudn't buy ice. So I went to farer convenient store for ice.
Today the Lawson was opened. I went to buy chocolate ice at onece. Then I found the diffrence from before. A freezer did't have door like Seven Eleven.
The big difference I found was only that.

Fukuroda Waterfall

Fukuroda waterfall is one of the best three waterfalls in Japan. They are Nachi in Wakayama, Kegon in Tochigi and Fukuroda in Ibaraki.

Last week I went to Fukuroda with my friends. I didn't know about it at all by this trip. So I thought it was so so. But seeing it changed my view. It was magnificent. Larger and heigher than I expected.

After seeing it we started climing which had the fall. But my friend discovered the dishonest measures. So we went to the road. It was not road. We advanced a way aithout a way. It was great adventure. After the way we found the good place to look at the fall. We could see it from the top. It was very beautiful.

This trip made me really tired, but it was a good trip.

Tobu World Square

We visited Tobu world square near Nikko after Toshogu. We can see the World heritages and famous places in the world for example Himeji castle, a pyramid and Taj Machar. They are all 1/25th of the original sizes. It was wonderful. There were really many places. I was surplised at finding Dogo spring in my hometown. It was famous for its oldness. I have been there.

Nikko

In Golden Week I went to Nikko with my friend who is from India. We used trains. It took 3 hours from Tsukuba. I started at 6:30. I arrived at 10:30. Nikko was very crowded. It had many visitors. When I got to Tobu Nikko station, firstly I went to Toshogu which was made 400 years ago for worshipping Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The picture is famous sculptures which is called Mizaru, Iwazaru, Kikazaru in Japanese. Mizaru is the monkey who doesn't see, Iwazaru who doesn't speak, Kikazaru who doesn't listen.

As memory I bought the key ring of a monkey. After Toshogu, I went back to the station by bus.

(It took 10 minutes from Toshogu to the station.) Then we ate soba for lunch.

I enjoyed Nikko nery much.
