My home town

This is the Iseri River which is near a flood.

 I had moved four times, so, strictly speaking, I don't have a hometown.  However, if I have to choose my hometown, it is Shimasaki where I live now.  I have lived in Shimasaki for six years, and went to university, I have lived there for three years.  There is Kumamoto Castle, many hospitals, Mt. Kinpo,  the Kamikumamoto Station, city tram's stations, bus stations, and the Iseri River nearby Shimasaki.

 Shimasaki is between the Kamikumamoto Station and the Kumamoto Station.  The nearest city tram's station is Daniyama.  If you use a city bus or city tram, you can get downtown in about twenty minutes, so Shimasaki is convenient.  However, Shimasaki's area is very large.  From around Daniyama Station to around Mt. Kinpo, it is all Shimasaki, so the Shimasaki area which is near Mt. Kinpo isn't very convenient.  I live near the Iseri River.  The Iseri River is clean, but it happens to be near a flood if it rains much.  Sometimes it is dangerous.

 There are two big hospitals in Shimasaki.  The two big hospitals are Seijino Hospital and Jikei Hospital.  Jikei Hospital was reported as the hospital that started a baby hatch.  I saw the news in Hiroshima, so I was surprised at it.  I never thought that my hometown would be in the news.

 In 2007, Kumamoto castle had a large-scale renovation of the Lord's Inner Palace.  Its material is the same as the original material used when it built.  I have been to Osaka Castle, I was disappointed at it because it had an elevator and an air-conditioner.  Kumamoto Castle doesn't have them, so we get tired to go up it.  However, we can feel the old era, and it looks cool!

 I hope Shimasaki will be more a little more convenient to public transportation, but I love my hometown!

My hobbies

   My hobbies are listening to music, reading novels and comics, walking, doing computer, playing Nintendo DS and video games, drawing, going Karaoke, traveling, eating, and sleeping.  About listening to music, you can show on "Music I like" in this blog.  I listen to a lot of kind music.  I don't read a lot in these days.  My favorite novels are Kashin written by Ryotaro Shiba, ShinobinoKuni written by Ryu Wada, The Singing Whale written by Ryu Murakami, The Angel's Egg written by Yuka Murayama, and Harry Potter written by J.K.Rolling.  Also, I like these authors, so I read othe books written by them. 

   I like reading comics, too.  I buy The Weekly Jump every week.  My favorite comics in it are One Peace, Naruto, and Hunter×Hunter.  I often read girl's comics.  In these days, my favorites are Kimini-todoke, Aoharaido, and Liar×Liar.  Of course, I recommend these books, but especially I recommend Fruit Basket.  It is an impressed story!  I was moved by it.

   I often walk alone.  I walk to any places for a lot of hours.  Of course, only when I 'm free, I can walk.  The longest time I walked is about six hours and at least, if I started to walk, I have walked for three hours.  Walking is refresh me.

And more... but main hobbies are these.

Music I like

   I like listening to music!  J-pop music, rock music, country music, and any other kind music, I like!  When I go to Karaoke, I often sing the songs of Masaharu Fukuyama and Spitz.  However, in my home, I listen to Every Little Thing, aiko, YUKI, YUI, Michael Jacson, Steavie Wonder, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and more.  Also, I look for musics on Nico-nico-douga and You-Tube.  Of course, I listen to the famous songs, but also I listen to the miner songs which is recommended by someone.  On Nico-nico-douga, there are a lot of music called Sagyouyou-douga which means that you listen to it while you do something.

My treasure

   My treasure is a picture which was given from my friend in elementary school. It is a painting of Sherlock Holmes was painted in it. Maybe, my friend used brush and net. First, he drew what he wanted to draw on a piece of paper. Next, he cut the paper as he drew. After that, the cut paper was put on the thin paper. Then, he applied paints to a brush. Next, he brushed a net by it above the thin paper. The colors were painted on the papers. Finally, the cut paper put off from the thin paper. I think that is the way he painted it.

   When I was at the end of fourth grade in elementary school, I moved to Takahira.  We were in the same class in Takahira elementary school,  and from fifth grade to sixth grade, we didn’t have a class change, so we had been in same class for two years. He did Shorinji Kenpo and was an assistant instructor at that time. I didn’t understand it then, but now I understand it was great thing. Also, both of us like to draw illustrations. That’s the reason we got along with each other. We used to go to draw together in the holiday.

   However, I moved again and went to Shimasaki where I live now, so we went to different junior high school. We had written to each other several times but we didn’t have a cell phone and we haven’t done anything together for a long time. In junior high school, I still wrote to him for a few times. In high school, I never wrote to him. I was busy to study and going to club practice.

   When we were in the second grade in junior high school, I ran across him once. We didn’t talk a lot and didn’t have cell phone, then too. I want to see him again. I’ll write to him. This is the story about my treasure and why the picture is my treasure.

My other classes

 I have fifteen classes in this spring semester.   Every class is interesting, but if I have to choice, my favorite classes are The History of American Literature, Spanish, and The History of English Literature.  Yes, I like reading book, so I take The History of American Literature and The History of English Literature.  In The History of American Literature, we have to write report and watch the movie of a famous American literature.  It is very exciting!  In The History of English Literature, we have to read ten books which is recommended by the teacher.  I study about not only English literature, but also British history and history of English.  I learn a lot of things in the class.  In Spanish class, there are fourteen members from all departments.  In these days, we go over first year's lesson.  Also, we exercise to speak in Spanish.  We learn new phrases.

 I'm enjoying my classes.

My Golden Week

 In GW, my cousins came to Kumamoto.  Cousins, my aunt, my grandmother, my mother, my sister, and I went to Aso.  We had a barbecue and stayed loge house.  On first day, we stayed a hotel in Kumamoto.  Next day, we went to supermarket and bought some foods and drink, and we went to Aso.  Arriving at Aso, we started a barbecue.  The view was very nice!  We enjoyed it very much!

 On the evening, we arrived at the loge house.  It was run by a family, which there were four children, father, mother, and grandfather.  They looked friendly and were kind.  However, it didn't have enough equipment, so we were tired.  We didn't take a bath there, but we went to a hot spring nearby it on the next morning.  Also, we had a barbecue in the day.  We were able to be relax because we had it for two straight days.

 After the barbecue, we went back to the loge house again.  On the night, we cooked our dinner and slept very much.

 And today, we came back to Kumamoto.  My cousins go back their home.  I felt a little lonely because of the four members went back.  I came back to my daily life, and GW is finishing...
