Winter weather...

2006年11月13日 (月)

Brrr, it`s getting cold outside! After a long autumn, winter is now coming! Do you like winter? I like winter a lot, although I always slip on the icey pavements! However, my favourite season is definitely autumn, because the trees look really beautiful here in Hokkaido. This winter, I`m going to try snowboarding again, and hopefully I will get better this year!

Earthquakes!

2006年11月4日 (土)

Hi everyone! How was your week? On Thursday night, there was a small earthquake. Did you feel it? I was sitting on my couch watching TV at the time and noticed my pot-plant swaying from side to side. Earthquakes are a kind of scary for me but also exciting. We hardly ever experience earthquakes in Australia. Instead we have bush-fires that can be very dangerous for people and animals. Have you experienced a serious earthquake? What did you do?

Can`t wait for winter!

Hello everyone, it is definetely getting colder these days and I am sure snow is just around the corner. I can`t wait to get my snowboard out and head to the mountains again! Also I am looking forward to the cosy feeling of being in a nice warm apartment while it is snowing outside-maybe eating nabe or sukiyaki or some other delicious winter food. I hope you are all looking forward to winter too-the only bad thing is the icy streets. Remember to take care and try to stay on two feet!

Is this wnter?

Wow, just as it started to get cold, spring is back. It's super warm today and I thinkI should have worn shorts to work. I'm sure mother nature won't allow that much more warm weather in Hokkaido, so I hope everyone gets out and enjoys it while you can as Old Man Winter is ??nocking on the door.

Baseball and Coloured Leaves

2006年10月25日 (水)

Hi everyone! Have you noticed the beautiful changing of the leaves yet? Last weekend, I went to Mariyama Park. The trees looked amazing with their mix of green, red, orange and pink leaves. The ground was like a colourful carpet. I've also been getting into the baseball. Go Nippon Ham Fighters!! Baseball isn't very popular in Australia so I've had to learn rules of the game. Let's hope the Fighters can win two more games and become the champions of Japan.
