Dinner Party

2006年1月28日 (土)

Hi everyone! I had a really nice week. On Saturday, I went to a Japanese friend's house for dinner. It was the first time I had been to a Japanese person's house to eat so I was very excited. We ate crab salad, soya beans with meat sauce, dikon salad and stir-fryed scallops and vegetables. My favourite dish was the crab salad - yummy! Tonight, I'm going to the Toyota Big Air Snowboarding event at Makomanai Open Stadium. Snowboarders from all over the world will compete. I'll tell you all about it next week. Bye for now!

Adventures in Asia

2006年1月21日 (土)

Happy New Year! I had a great time in December visiting Thailand,Cambodia and Vietnam. I ate delicious food, saw some amazing places and met some wonderful people. The highlights for me were Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Halong Bay in Vietnam. Both of these places are very beautiful, and I hope to visit them again someday. I hope you all had a good New Year vacation and are enjoying winter in Sapporo-there is so much snow this year! See you soon.

My Winter Vacation

2006年1月18日 (水)

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a nice time seeing your family and friends over the winter vacation period. I went to London for my vacation. It was amazing. I was surprised how big the city is - there is so much to see and do! I visited some famous sites including Big Ben, The Tower of London, Picadilly Circus, Trafalger Square and London Bridge. I also met my fiance's family for the very first time!! They were very nice. Now I'm back in Sapporo and enjoying teaching, snowboarding and eating Japanese food. How was your winter vacation? I'm looking forward to hearing about it at Step Up.

Non-stop summer

2005年10月4日 (火)

Hello everyone! I have only just found time to write in the diary as I have had a very busy summer. Some of my friends from England came to visit me in Sapporo and my brother and sisters also made their first trip to Japan. I met them in Osaka and we visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Himeji and Hiroshima before coming up to Hokkaido. It was great to see them and they loved Japan and Japanese culture. I felt like a tour guide! I also hitch-hiked around Tohoku and spent some time in Shiretoko-but luckily I didn`t meet any bears! Next weekend i am going to Daisetzusan to climb some mountains and relax in some wild onsens. The fun never stops! Hokkaido is a great place to explore and soon it will snow so we can ski and snowboard again. Hooray! I hope you all had a fantastic summer too. Bye for now.

Winter is around the corner

2005年9月23日 (金)

I feel like this summer has come to an end. It was hot and sunny and just the way a summer should be in Sapporo! Now though, it is getting cold and it is raining every day. Soon I won't be able to ride my much-loved scooter and I will have to use the crowded humid subway and try not to slip on the icy winter roads. But winter brings a lot of cosy moments! I used to love sitting in front of an open fire, drinking cocoa back home. Here I don't have an open fire so my gas range will have to do. But, it's the moment that counts! All the convenience stores start selling Nikuman when it gets cold too. Maybe I get myself a juicy hot pizza-man sometime soon. I miss them!
