¡¡ Nov. 30th, 2003 ¡¡ go to real world We departed from hotel at 10:00 a.m. We rode Hakone mountain railway, cable car and ropeway to go to Mt. Soun. Though it was a grand sight point for Mt. Fuji at Owakidani, we couldn't see anything but only stream of fog. After we ate black egg, which was a well known product of there, we rode a pirate ship. Pirate ship¡Ä At Motohakone, where was a terminus of pirate ship, we went to Soba restaurant. The orders we made were 4 sets of a bowl of rice with a breaded and fried pork cutlet on top with Soba, 2 sets of a bowl of rice with chicken, egg, and vegetables and a bowl of rice with a breaded and fried pork cutlet on top. Isn't this restaurant specialized in Soba is it? We departed 16:48 from Hakone. And I arrived Nakajo at around 22:00. I slept over 3hours in the way of Nakajo, so I was afraid of not sleeping tonight. The 5 people live in Kanto district and one is in Muroran. He would arrive around 25:00. How great he is! I satisfied with this trip. Above all, I satisfied with to see energetic juniors. I have to say thanks to whom invite me.

¡¡ Nov. 29th, 2003 ¡¡ Go to Hakone after an interval of 24 years I got up at 5:00 in the morning. I arrived Shinjuku at 9:30. I went to observation platform of Tokyo Metropolitan Government. I couldn't see anything from there. Because it was a rainy day. The weather forecast of Tokyo was more accurate than Sendai and Niigata's. At 12:10, we departed Shinjuku and arrived Hakone at 14:30. We went to Udon restaurant. The Udon of this restaurant is too long so I, ordered Ketel Udon, had a hard time to eat. After this lunch, we walk around souvenir shop and go to hotel. Talking of the hotel of hot spring, table tennis is essential. We had matches all each other. And I couldn¡Çt win except for one person. We had a dinner in our room. On the menu list there were many inapprehensible things. Most inapprehensible thing was, "Dessert : parsley" But all stuffs were delicious I think. After that we talked with each others to midnight. p.s. I regretful to the supporters of Vagalta Sendai which demoted to J2 next season. But don't give up!

¡¡ Nov. 28th, 2003 ¡¡ tooth brushing After supper, I was said "Will you go to bed so early?" many times. I believe that tooth brushing have to do after meal, not before sleeping.

¡¡ Nov. 27th, 2003 ¡¡ hard time for interpreter I watch NHK news from 22:00 every day. I use sub sound, so the news is broadcasted in English. I enrich my vocabulary , especially peculiar field like "adduction" and "pension", by this news. In these news, there are a lot of proper nouns. Interpreters used to say "Mr. Jun-ichiro Koizumi", "Hideki Matsui" and so on. But yesterday, it was an announcement of new year's eve song show participants. "Jo...jo...joshi...juni...juuni" What!? "Tetsu and Tomo" The pronunciation of "and" is too real. "Hito...Toyou" Mis-dividing. What a interesting news it is!

¡¡ Nov. 26th, 2003 ¡¡ protect from snow My colleague was shocked by the tree protection for heavy snows. He said "It has been a story of far country for me." He came from Osaka, so it is understandable. He has already said that "Too cold isn't it?" these days although it isn't snowing yet. Can he pass the winter?

¡¡ Nov. 25th, 2003 ¡¡ Dark Zone Do you know "Dark Zone"? It is one of the famous story of Ultra seven. And I notice that here, Niigata, is one of the Dark Zone. It is not so much exaggeration. I know that this climate is the Japanese sea's.

¡¡ Nov. 24th, 2003 ¡¡ one of the bloody events I prepared for the tomorrow¡Çs and day after tomorrow's meeting. So, I didn't rest this consecutive holidays. Come back my holidays! During the preparation the topic of Niigata came from the radio. "Twinkle Pageant event will also be held this year from Dec. 12th to Jan. 12th." Why was event of Sendai introduced? No! Et tu, Niigata ! Too similar with Sendai's. By the way, don't relax your guard because I will not e in Sendai. There are lot of my eyes in Sendai.

¡¡ Nov. 23rd, 2003 ¡¡ J league Niigata settled to go J1 next season. I don't know about soccer very well but I would like to say "congratulations!" On the other hand, Sendai lost game yesterday and Oita ended in draw today. So, Sendai must win next match. If Sendai stay in J1, I would lke to see match of Sendai with Niigata. But if I go, I would like to see peacefully.

¡¡ Nov. 22nd, 2003 ¡¡ go back and return in one day I departed at 10:30 a.m. from Niigata. The weather changed from rain to sleet and snow. No! I didn't change to winter tires. I arrived Sendai at 2:30 p.m. And I was satisfied with friend's first¡¾class stage. After that, I went to ex. Lab. and enjoyed a pleasant chat with the assistant professor. And I ate Yakiniku with students. I departed Sendai at 9:30 p.m. I arrived Niigata at 0:30 a.m. I prove that I could go and return between Sendai and Niigata in one day.

¡¡ Nov. 21st, 2003 ¡¡ critical moment I got up. I felt good. Why? I saw a clock. 7:45 a.m. The work started at 8:00 a.m. No!!! But I could arrive before 8:00 a.m. because the dormitory was 10 min far from my lab. I, however, couldn't eat breakfast so I couldn't do well all the day.

¡¡ Nov. 20th, 2003 ¡¡ the year¡¾end tax adjustment We workers must write papers for the year¡¾end tax adjustment at the year end. We must write insurances which we buy. Life insurance? I thought I had never bought. But secretary said, "In the ordinary your parents had bought it by your name. You may clear it". So I called to my home. I "Do you have bought life insurance by my name?" Mother "No." Ha! Our family is not ordinary.

¡¡ Nov. 19th, 2003 ¡¡ menu Sometimes, this dormitory's cooks serve us a surprising menu. Most surprising menu was, "roast cuttlefish as main dish". But today, transcending main dish was appeared. "Fried cake of pounded fish which has cheese inside" There is no fishes and meat. Only cake of pounded fish. I suspect whether dietician plans these menu.

¡¡ Nov. 18th, 2003 ¡¡ Toshi I went to see the result exhibition of vocational aid center for handicapped person which is related to our company. There was a picture. "ex. X JAPAN Toshi came here and held recital on July" What's up Mr. Jones!? After I came back to my room, I saw Toshi's HP after an interval of several years. He came to Niigata on the end of October. And he got on the train and through near here. But I can't have an interest for him now.

¡¡ Nov. 17th, 2003 ¡¡ New year¡Çs card I had gotten white new year's postcard from my parents, but, from next year, I must buy new year's card by myself. And I bought 30 white new year¡Çs postcards. To handwrite new year's card had been my asset, but from 2002, I had not been able to spare for handwriting them. And I had started using printer. I would like to restore handwriting, but there is one problem. I can't draw monkey. So, I bought new year's card for printer just in case. By the way, if you send new year's card to my hometown, postoffice forward hem to Niigata because I had gone through the formality. And I will be in hometown at new year's day. So, I'm sorry if I delayed to send back to people who will give me the card unexpectedly.

¡¡Nov. 16th, 2003 ¡¡ Weekly weather forecast It is said that sun wouldn't appear during winter season in Niigata. Today, I saw weekly weather forecast. The rumor is not a rumor. There was only one day which has a sunny mark. Today, it was also rain, so I gave up exchanging tires to winters. I spent the time to sit at my desk and made some papers. And I watched J1 soccer match, Sendai vs Kyoto. Congratulations! Sendai.

¡¡ Nov. 15th, 2003 ¡¡ realize the value of the cellular phone When I got up, the sky is clear and the temperature was not so low. So, I started riding my motorcycle for last touring of this year. I enjoyed an excursion for viewing scarlet maple leaves which were a little near the ending. I diverted myself forgetting hard works. When I started to go back to home, my motorcycle started making noise. Gee! Stop! Stop it! Please stop! The motorcycle stopped running. The chane broke down. Moreover, this chane broke almost surrouding parts. Place I took cellular phone from my pocket. Devil blessed me! I could call to motorcycle shop. I could go back to home 4hours after that. But it was doubtful that my motorcycle was able to repair correctly. Anyhow, I had never regarded that cellular phone was more useful than today.

¡¡ Nov. 14th, 2003 ¡¡ lovely bloody stormy night Twenties day remain only 700 days. A stimulus is insufficient for me, recently. All things only have insufficient stimulus. I think it causes that I passed the stimulus life these years. This is the reason of memory less drink party some days ago. Give me the stimulus!

¡¡ Nov. 13th, 2003 ¡¡ £Ã£Í One of my acquaintances get angry with UNIQL's CM and feel at ease with "a girl"'sCM. Generally, I don¡Çt have any feelings to every CMs. Recently, however, there is one CM which irritate me very much. This product name is P0NDS. The man says "How about me?" The woman thinks "Gotcha!" ...Sending the Bible to the hell! What do you insist by using "How about me?"!? Who do you think you are!? And you! Why do you think "Gotcha!"? Do you like the man who looks only appearance? You may say not "Gotcha!" but ker¨¬¨¬¨¬¨¬(¡¬¢Ï¡¬)¨¬¨¬¨¬¨¬chunk!! Moreover, ordinary man wouldnt say "How about me?" to you. Uhh, How should we do!! How should we do!! How¡¦should¡¦we¡¦do¡¦!!! My frayed nerve by watching this CM is healed by following CM. calmness(starting WMP)

¡¡ Nov. 12th, 2003 ¡¡ No time to sleep I had been doing 5 jobs at the same time till yesterday. I had thought new jobs would not come to me. I received, however, 3 new jobs. So, I will have to do 8 jobs at the same time. What's up Mr. Jones? Does my boss think that I am immortal¡© If it were true, it is... right.

¡¡Nov. 11th, 2003 ¡¡ at the bath I look up the ceiling of the bath. There are two air conditioner. If it were on the dressing room, it'd have been understandable. But why in the bath room? And they didnt seem to work. Why they are atttached?

¡¡Nov. 10th, 2003 ¡¡ Election I was sleepy all the day because I watched the TV program for the election till the late at night. The labor union of our company support the Democratic Party. The residents of this town are the participants of our company. So, I thought that Democratic Party would win. The result is that LDP won. Too much contryside.

¡¡ Nov. 9th, 2003 ¡¡ Is it Univ.? The university building of the meeting place has 23 floors. In this building, there are a gym, lib and labs. And moreover, it is too clean. But I'm not willing to enter such a university. Because... Too much urban.

¡¡ Nov. 8th, 2003 ¡¡ Otyanomizu 2 hours after the ending of Karaoke, I departed for businesstrip. Too much hard. I went to the meeting place where is near the Otyanomizu station. On the way to the university, there are a lot of a musical instrument stores. I have a little much money for the business trip. No! I was likely to do impulse buying of the guitar wanted a long time ago.

¡¡Nov. 7th, 2003 ¡¡ Karaoke After the work I took a rest in my room. The call from a colleague came. "Don't you come to Karaoke?" I would go business trip tomorrow. But I went Karaoke. It was the first Karaoke after the graduation. Colleagues said to me. Do you have a two spirit in you?

¡¡ Nov. 6th, 2003 ¡¡ trick3 When I watched the story 3 of TRICK3, I felt uneasy somehow. But it is over anxious. The relier is always killed or criminal isn't it? I felt however something is missing. It causes that there are no parting shot of criminals, I think. By the way, I'm very satisfied with the theme song of Chihiro Onitsuka.

¡¡ Nov. 5th, 2003 ¡¡ network environment Network environment came to my room. However, it takes a lot of times to do an setup. With attached setup CD, since the error came out, it carried out by my hands. I am not familiar with Windows. But I had a same trouble to setup Mac. By the way, I think two personal computers are not required in this narrow room.

¡¡ Nov. 4th, 2003 ¡¡ AM radio To say studying English, NHK radio course is one of the major way I think. When I was in a company residence, I could listen AM radio. But after I came in this reinforced concrete building, the Korean radio is clearer than NHK. Isnt here Japan is it!?

¡¡ Nov. 3rd 2003 ¡¡ Lacrosse I went to see the northeast area finals of lacrosse. As for the boy, Tohoku University won the victory. Congratulations! It was rather interesting although it was the first time to see the game of lacrosse. By all means, if you also have an opportunity, I recommend you to see the game. I felt that the merit of the team sport when I watched how pleased the member of a team who won the victory are. I didn't do the team sport since the junior high school. I returned to Niigata in the evening. I was caught traffic congestion. Traffic congestion is tight to a car with a manual transmission.

¡¡ Nov. 2nd, 2003 ¡¡ Final game I drive enjoying autumnal leaves and arrive at the game hall at 2:00 p.m. There is no target... I had never heard that this game ended before it became dark. In rumor, since 3G did not come out at all At night, the cerebration party was held. Why did I have the memory?

¡¡ Nov. 1st, 2003 ¡¡ surrealistic When I watched TV, I hear that "It is surrealistic isn't it?" I couldnt remember the meaning of the word "surrealistic". In the dictionary, "The reality detached building is carried out." So, the life of mine last year is surrealistic?
