Don't look at this post!! It will make you hungry:)

Japan is the country where you can enjoy many kinds of food. From western foods to Japanese foods, there are no foods which you can't eat here.

The other day, I had Sushi with a friend of mine(He isn't my friend, Bond!) at Tokyo.

The fish is fresh. And the plain taste makes you feel refreshed, because it's humid and hot these days here. Of course, we can have other kinds of food too.

Italian foods
pizza

Chinese foods

So, I think you wouldn't be in trouble with food when you visit Japan^^

...Now I'm hungry:(

Taking a dangerous drive

Hi my secret fans! Long time no see.

I'm sorry I couldn't update my blog for a couple of weeks because I have been busy with mid-term examsX( Fortunately, I finished them last week, and my long, long summer vacation started!!

Today, I went for a drive with my friend Bond again! If you wonder who is Bond, look at the previous post:)

This time, I drove the car and we went to Kanagawa prefecture. How dangerous it was to drive on ragged mountain roads!! We almost fell over the cliff! But after we reached the top, I was satisfied with my hard work.

Look at these pictures.


What beautiful views they are! They reminds me of the famous Japanese anime Kiki's delivery service.
Then, we enjoyed dinner at an Italian restaurant. The dishes were fantastic!

Bond's
Mine

As I said, my summer vacation has started. I'll be busy practicing my English, having a lot of fun with friends and finding a job. Guys, what about your vacation??

By the way, I uploaded a movie here. I made this movie last year. It seems pretty popular^^Hope you like it!!

The countryside in Japan

Today I went for a drive with my friend, Bond. I call him Bond because he is a freak of 007 movie:D After shopping, we decided to go to the countryside.



Both of us were getting sick of busy life in a big city. Since my friend, Bond and I commute to Shinjuku on the week, we were dying of beautiful mountains, forests and streams!



...of course, every country has traffic jams(^^;)


After a while, we arrived in Saitama prefecture. The views were completely different from Tokyo. The air is clean and it's very peaceful.


An hour later, we rested at a parking area. What a beautiful place it was! Bond and I were walking around for a while. I took a couple of pictures.


A couple minutes later, we left that place and headed for a restaurant. We had Okonomi-yaki.


Have you ever had this Japanese food? It was very delicious. You should give it a try, when you come to Japan^^


My wonderful holiday passed like this way. It's been a long time since I visited the countryside.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

Last Sunday, I watched this movie, Transformers! I regretted not having seen the first one on screen, because it was worth seeing on big screen:) So, this time I decided to go to the movies.

Shia LaBeouf who is playing as Sam Witwicky, is the ideal actor for this movie. He doesn't look so handsome and strong, but I think the director tried to describe a story in which a common boy plays an important role.









On the other hand, Mikaela, the girl friend of Sam is really pretty^^ Sam is lucky his girlfriend is that cute. Megan Fox is playing as Mikaela. She succeeded in giving us the strong image of girls in this movie.









Of course, this movie is very exciting; there is a lot of action. Also, many new transformers are in it. However, the story is a little bit complicated. That's because many things go on in this movie. Overall, I was glad to go to the movies.



What do you think of this movie? Was it better than the previous one?

Speech contest

I'm thinking of applying for an English speech contest. In the contest, I'll be asked to talk about Hong Kong, especially about its tourism. I'd like to participate in it, because it would be helpful to improve my English.

To tell the truth, I haven't joined this kind of contest. What is it like to speak in front of hundreds of people? I respect President Obama. His speech in Chicago was so nice and moving. After I listened to his speech, I felt the strengths of the U.S.



I think I will apply for the speech contest for sure. Even if I can't win a prize, I believe I'll be glad I made this decision.

If you're familiar with how to give a good speech, would you tell me about it please?:)
