Koshien


Hi, how are you today?

From August 2nd, 甲子園 will get started!! Basically I like watching baseball game if I have the school to support for, which is why I like only 甲子園, but not also pro-baseball.

This summer, from my home Ibaraki, Jyoso-Gakuin school team gonna join as a represent of the prefecture. I hope they'll do well.

By the way, what do you think about private school that collect nice players from other prefectures? I think it's not fair at all. At first, they are NOT Ibaraki team. So I want my home prefectual school to join 甲子園 as a represent of Obaraki next summer. (Guess what? Our team was about to be that 2 years ago! )


Ma anyway, I hope I could enjoy this 甲子園 this summer, too. Do you have any team (from any prefecture) worthing to suppoert for?

My dream trip plan




Hi, mates. Summer vacation is coming soon. Hold on , everyone!!

By the way, if you got $2.500, where would you like to visit?

In the class I take, we supposed to make a plan to trip to anywhere worth $2.500. And I decided to visit Peru, because I've been eager to see Nasca lines and Machu Picchu which is famous for Incan heritage as a World heritage Site. Just thinking about why and how the lines drawned makes me excited!! Actually I've wanted to visit as a family trip, but it sounds difficult because rest of my family do not interested as much I do. That's why.

With these sites helped me making nice, complete and reasonable trip plan.
Expedia(
http://www.expedia.com/)... to make a flight plan, also to book the seat you want
trip adviser (
http://www.tripadvisor.com・・・to search for hotel which is suitable for you

And here is my dream plan(from September 10 to 14)

departing fight
6:05 p.m. taking off Narita, Japan
6:00 a.m. landing on New York, USA
11:30p.m. taking off New York USA
6:30 a.m. landing on Lima, Peru


I want to book a window seat because I might see Hawaii on the way! In NY, I will have long time to retake off, so I'd like to enjoy duty-free shopping while the time.

And here I am at Lima in Peru!!
There, I should see things like this.





Also in the site called geobeats(
http://www.geobeats.com/ ), you can see various movie from many places over the world. Unfortunately, I could not find movie about Peru this time, but if you want to trip to somewhere in foreign countries THROUGH PC, I recommend you to see this.

There at Lima, Peru, I will do...
・sightseeing to Machu Picchu
・seeing Nasca lines
・trying Spanish with people there
・staying at Bayview Hotel, which is worth to stay, having great service, and comfortable bed.
According to tripadviser, it costs $64 per a night


return flight
11:50p.m. taking off Lima, Peru
8:30 a.m. landing on NewYork, USA
11:45a.m. taking off New York, USA
2:30 p.m. landing on Narita, Japan


This round flight costs $1,684,and staying a hotel costs $192. That means I have $724 left, so I gonna spend on sightseeing, and shopping.


I've never had any idea to make a trip plan in English site, but now I found I can do it, so I'll try these sites again, when I go to somewhere foreign country. This time, I wanna make a plan to Italy.


How about your trip plan? This summer, some of you might be thinking about trip to foreign country,. Why won't you try these sites? It should be more easy to use than you expect.
Have a nice trip!

Book (1)

Hi, How are you doing with your reports?
Today, I wanna share interesting book I like.


This is the book wichi is called "一人の男が飛行機から飛び降りる" in Japanese.

It's translated from English one, and the original one is called"A Man jumps Out of an Airplane". What I like about this book is that it contains disunderstandable stories. The writer, Barry Yourgrau makes dream-like stories and I'm sure you will be surprided with his fantastic ideas!!

Each of the stories are mostly short, so you can read it without constraint.

As everyone got to yell "summer vacation is coming", you will have much more free-time. Why won't you try this ?

movie (2)

Hi there, I guess you have so many works, but are you all right with them? I'M NOT!!

But in this busy days, what is the important thing to do , do you think? It's watching movie!! In the last reading class, watching movie is not so good way to relax because it have us to forget realistic, but I think that's important thing, SOMETIMES. so is you feel tired , I recommend you to watch movie to change your feeling.


On last Tuesday, I watched the movie with Masumi and Lisa. The movie we watched is..."Summer Time-machine Blues" filmed in Japan. It was really enjoyable. We all agreed it's funny and well-contained.



Take a few minutes to see this to see how does it like.



Why won't you see it ? If you do, I recommend you to see that with your friends or people around you!! And you can have fun finding piece of things which would make you feel fun.
Also, If you are Ferris student, you can enjoy it in the library.
