From the sky

I looked outside.

There are many clouds hovering.

Through the gap, I see a sea.

Now I am above the tip of Kagoshima

My feet are going to touch Japan

Four months ago, my small body was filled with

Many hope and fear.

After four months, I know I put many souvenirs

In my suit case,

But

I am not sure I grew more.

When leaving,

I decided to come back again.

At that time, I want to show you myself grew more!

Talk about England

Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

And,,,,
Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

... sorry.
Recently I have many things I want to do and many thing I should be done.
At this point, the phrase reminds me...
It is...
There is never enough time to do or say all the things that we would wish. The thing is to try to do as much as you can in the time that you have. Remember Scrooge, time is short, and suddenly, you're not here any more.  Scrooge (1970)

Anyway, last Saturday, I went to see musical, MAMMA MIA! Just after I watched it, I thought, "I should not watch it."

That is because it was quite fabulous!  Actually, when I was a 2nd year student in high school, we acted this, so I know the story, but still, it was quite great!  I want to see it again and I also want to see another musical!  

Sorry for short essay and see you then!

Oxford 1st

 

Hello!  As I was quite busy, I didn’t post recently.

 

Anyway, according to my camera, which can say when I took pictures,  I went to Oxford on 26th May.

 

We wanted to go to Christ Church, but due to Diamond Jubilee, we couldn’t enter…

 

However, we could enter other colleges, so we enjoyed ourselves there.

After that, we went to Oxford Castel.  I met quite funny fellow.  He introduced us what Oxford Castle is like.

↑Don’t you think it is quite nice?

 

After that, we went shopping and go back.  I want to come here again, though I went there on the other day to go to Christ Church.  I will tell you soon!

Happy Happy Birthday!

Today is my birthday.  This year, as I am in UK, I had a special day with HTT students and some of my teachers. 
First, in the school (I am now teaching Japanese once a week at another school than the university), my tutor said to me “Hi! and Happy Birthday!!” For me, it satisfied me enough, but he asked their students to sing short Happy Birthday song for me!  I was soooo happy!
At the 2nd class, we sang the famous song, Do-Re-Mi, with other students.
they said it was cool, but I should have been better, As I want to be a teacher, I don’t want accept the phrase, “Because you are teaching trainee”.  However I could learn many thing from this experience so I will do my best at the next class!
At the lunch time, after finishing eating lunch, suddenly, my friends brought to me a birthday cake!  I was so,,, no, too surprised to do anything.  It was really surprising me and I felt really happy. (Sorry for no picture of it, later I will upload it.)
In the Afternoon, we have last class.  At there, I was also cerebrated from students!  They said to me “Happy Birthday” in Japanese! 
After teaching, my tutor gave me a lovely card from the class!
It says
Hiroaki
Always
Talks
And
Cheers
Htts
In England
When you read from top to down, you can read “HATACHI”, which means 20 years old in Japanese.  I think he, my tutor, is really brilliant!
After arriving at the University, my another tutor form the university gave another card from those who connected with me and the school we are teaching.  I am still over the moon

Also, I could get many message on Facebook or mixi (One of the famous SNS in Japan)!

I have never had a wonderful day like this. I am still as happy as a dog with two tails.
Thank you so much!   I really really love you all so much!

Birmingham!

Hiya!

Last weekend, we went to Birmingham! Now, we are living in Coventry, so it takes less than 30 minutes by train.

This time, we went to Cadbury World, famous Chocolate company.

As we went there on Saturday, there are many people and we should wait over 1 hour to enter!

So before that, we were recommended to go to 'essence', where we can know how the taste of Cadbury Dairy Milk was born.  After that, we could make our own chocolate!  You can choose one out of 6 flavour, and I chose mini-marshmallow.  I love that taste, but chocolate was really strong and we would like to drink water (which is really expensive...).

The time we can enter the Cadbury World had come!  It was really fantastic!  The attractions reminded me of the film, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". 

Also, I was happy to know I walked over 20,000 steps only one day!

Next week, we are going to Oxford, which is famous for "Oxford University".  However, where is Oxford University?  It is similar to the University of Warwick??  I hope you can understand the meaning...

See you!

The Road Not Taken

The Road Not Taken

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

     

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

   

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

     

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I?

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference

The road not taken

(Robert Frost (1874-1963))
