Cultural difference

Since I've studied abroad for 3 years I must have experienced lots of cultural differences...but,hmm.. can't really think of it X(

I remember one thing. About aniverseries.
In Japan, couples are usually celeblate their aniversaries once a month(I mean they have aniverseries per one month.)But I heard from one of my korean friend,she said that in Korea,they celeblate each 100days.(per 100days?)so first aniversary is gonna be hold on 100th day since they started going out.
It's different system as Japan. Many of Japanese couples celebrate on each months.Also how they celeblate is much more romantic I thought.
Are they influenced by romantic korean dramas??

My favorite subjects

hmm...
Basically,I am not good at subjects like just sitting on the chair and study.
You know what I mean?? I like subjects that use hands and creativity.

When I was in a high school,I loved Art class and baking class.
Do you know what baking class is??
Baking class is like a cooking class but we only make cakes and breads.
In that class, teacher gives each of us a recipe and we have to work individually.
I've made cheese cakes,cookies,muffins,Cinnamon rolls,and so on.
Teacher just watch us making and sometimes give us advises.
Half of the products that we made are sold in school cafeteria at cheap price and we can take the other half of it to home.

I think studying Math,English or these kind of subjects are very important,but subjects that let us gain creativity and a particular skill are also pretty useful to live in real life.

By the way this cake is what I made in the baking class:)

SUMMER

After a long looooong summer vacation,it's pretty hard to bring myself back to school work.
I cannot read English sentence now as fast as I could before.

Actually, I deserve it since I didn't study at all during the summer.haha
It's gonna take little more time to get used to English-environment again.:P


As I told in class,I enjoyed traveling during summer vacation.
First of all, I went to Nagano with my dad,my bro's wife,and her daughter(2yeas old). Nagano is my dad's home town.
I go there almost every summer to see my grandma and grandpa.I love visiting there.
Whenever we go there,they welcome us warmly with delicious food.
Dishes that my grandma make are really yummy and are also so healthy.
Full of veggys:) So I always ask her for recipes and learn how to cook.(I love cooking~!I think I can be a good wife in future♪ lol XD )
anyway,
I really recommend Nagano as the place to stay in summer.
Weather is much better than Osaka,and many place to sight see such as Karuizawa.

Also I went Vietnam and Korea.But I've already talked about these trip so I won't talk about it here^^

It seems that each classmates had great summer:)
And now the season is sifting to Fall.Yay!
My favorite season of the year is coming.
Let's enjoy together;)

Summer vacation is right there!!

For me,I'm not sure yet what I'm gonna do.
there are many things that I wanna do during the summer vacation.

First of all,I wanna change my part-time-job. haha
Where I'm working now is too busy although it wage is low. X(
The works are very tough.

Illeagal music download

Do you often listening to musics?
If you do,where do you get your musics from?

Since MP3 player has become popular among us,we got more opportunity to listen to musics than before.
However, the fact is that sales of CDs are decreasing compared to a decade ago.

why??

The one of biggest cause for this contradiction is "Illegal music downloading"
We can get any musics for free.All you need are a computer and file-sharing software in it. But downloading musics and movies trough this software is illegal !!
This software is not made for this purpose.But int fact, some people use this to get musics for no charge. This is why sales of CDs are decreasing and is big damage for music industry.

Of course,I know we have to pay money to download music,but I sometime think paying 1000yen to single CD is like throwing money. Especially,I'm the person who can get sick of listening one song easily.

So,I was thinking what is gonna be good solution for this problem...
may be they should sell CDs at cheaper price or attach special gifts/goods to it.
And let people download musics for free if they don't want those goods.

Do you guys have any idea??

Would you like a cup of coffee? :)

It's been already 2 months Since second year of University has started.
Time goes by so fast. Don't you think so?
I feel like summer vacation is just right there.
Before I think about summer vacation,we have tons of stuff to get over :(

by the way,

how am I doing recently??

hmm...I enjoy circle activity:D
I belong to the circle which is called 'Cafee'
What we do is just going to cafe once a month with circle members and try new cafes.
We sometimes go to cafe for dinner,sometimes just for tea and cakes.
we used to be a really small circle.As I can remember,only 10~15ppl in 'cafee'.
But now,it's expanded into about 50 or 60ppl.
so we have to divide members into several groups and, each group goes to different cafes that we had chosen.

anyway,I'm sure I'll be busy working on so many school stuff soon...
I gotta hang out with my friends before it!!
