My favorite store

My favorite store is Village Vanguard which is also called exciting book store. There are not only interesting books but also character goods, imported goods and so on. It has a lot of interesting goods. Even not feel like buying anything, I could spend good time by just looking the goods at the store. As far as I know, Youme town Hamasen, PARUCO, Diamond City Value and Clare have Village Vanguard in Kumamoto. I am going to introduce an interesting good which is sold there. In this season, you can get an unlucky mystery bag. Not a lucky bag. It is an unlucky bag. There are some black comedy goods in the bag. I don’t know what the black comedy goods are. I am interested in it but I never buy it.

My favorite candy

I think my favorite candy is Ichigo Miruku. It tastes strawberry milk as you find out from the name. The shape is a small triangle and the color is soft pink. The inside of it is colored white and it tastes milk. I like strawberry milk and strawberry yogurt tasted candy, but I don’t like just strawberry tasted one. Also, I don’t feel like eating candies tasted cola, pop or something now. However, I used to like them before. When I was a school kid, I often bought some candies which looked like toys and tasted pop and cola. I remember I was happy when my mother bought the candies for my sisters and me. I used to eat them with sticky hands because of the candies.

Podcast episode5

I am going to talk about transportation of Halifax. There are no public transportation in Halifax. I mean bus service is not available there. However, there is a city bus running between Halifax and Dartmouth. The start fare is 2 dollars. Students of SMU can use campus bus. They have to buy the bus tickets for a year by 100 dollars. That's why, cars and bicycles are necessary for life. Halifax is a port town, so there are a lot of aquatic vehicles. If you want to travel outside of Halifax, you should use airplanes. According to Mio N, a senior of KGU, for domestic trip, you should use West Jet, and for International trip, Air Canada is good. Between Halifax Airport and SMU, you can use taxi for $53 or air porter for $21. Both of them take 30 minutes.

About last weekend

Last Friday, I had Christmas party at English Lounge. Ayano, Yusuke san and I were the MCs, so we didn't join some games but the party was so great! I had a good time. On Saturday, I had a make-up class in that morning. After that, I went to Mr. Waterman's house for Christmas party with Megumu, Chonchon san, Clark and Jonah. I was surprised when we got to his house because the apartment was that I lived in when I was little. I felt natsukashii. We did a game, Tokyo Train. My partner was Mr. Waterman. We won once. Chonchon san and Clark were a good team. They won every time. Mrs. July's pizza was great. Yesterday, I went to Costoco in Fukuoka with Ayano, Jonah, Jordan, Pudding, Clark, Ian and Chonchon san. I drove. I felt kind of nervous at first.

Let me tell you about people in Canada. The population of Canada is about thirty-two million. The number is a quarter of Japanese one. There are Canadian of British, French, scottish, Irish, Native Canadian and so on. In Halifax, about 360 thousand people live. The official language of Canada are English and French. 57 % of people speak English and 22% of them speak French. The rest of them speak more than two languages or other languages. Religions which are believed by people in Canada are Christianity, Jedea, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and so on. 44 % of population in Canada are Cathoric and 29 % are Protestant. 16.5 % are in non religion.

My favorite class

My favorite class in KGU is history of American literature. The teacher is professor Mukai Kumiko. She tells us not only American literature but also some bits of knowledge such as about common knowledge of ancient America. We can watch some movies but not all parts of them at the class. We watched a lot of literature-related movies. One of them that I really liked is Adventure of Huckleberry Finn. Huck that Elijah Wood played was so lovely and pretty. Also, the story was great. That’s why I looked for the DVD and bought it by Amazon. Professor Mukai showed us it from beginning to ending for letting us write reports in the spring term. In this term, we wrote reports about The Great Gatsby. That was kind of difficult.

Ice skating & MK

I went ice skating with Eri, Megumu, Ayano, Chonchon san, Risa san, Natsumi san, Mira, Yusen, Yuna, Senshu and Jonah yesterday. We got together at the Seven eleven near Kenritsu gekijo around 11:00. We went to a skating rink ASPA in Kikuyo. We started skating around 12:00. I have ever skated before, but that was about 8 years ago, so at first, I couldn't slide at all. Even standing on the rink was so hard. However, before I changed the figure shoes to ice hockey shoes, I could slide. We made one long line and slide each other like a train. That was so funny. Some people first skated at that time but they finally could slide. I fell many times and bruised. Also, I had the skin on my ankles were peeled because of rubbing against the skating shoes. I had pain on my feet but I really enjoyed skating. After that, we went to MK, a shabushabu restaurant. I was starving, so I ate a lot!

My favorite sport

My favorite sport is tennis. I am not good at any ball games but I like playing tennis. The reason why I like playing tennis is the sound of hitting a ball makes me feel great. I have never belonged to any clubs in my high school days but I chose a tennis class every elective subject at P.E. I also took a tennis class in both spring and autumn terms last year. I was not a good player but I enjoyed playing games. As I told you, my favorite sport is tennis but the other way, I mean as watching, I like soccer. I watched the World Cup in South Africa. I didn’t expect the Japanese team survived to the best 16. The games were awesome.
