My weekend and other matters..

On Saturday, I went to Fukuoka. Because I had a exam of Japanese education ability. Also I wanted to see my boy friend. I watched a baseball game that my boyfriend participated. It was sunny and very hot, so I wanted to go back to home more early... That night we went to eat out, and we went to Karaoke. I think he is better singing than playing baseball, maybe... It was fun. Next day, I had the exam. Lately, I think I want to be a Japanese language teacher. So I tried to take the exam. The rate of successful examiness in the test is not high every year. It was difficult for me. I don't have a confidence, but I hope going well.

Trip

I went to Tokyo with Yurina and another friend on October 3rd and 4th. I went to Tokyo by airplane. I took an LCC plane for the first time. It was good, but it was a little narrow.
At first we went to Tsukiji to eat Kaisendon. There were many Kaisendon shops, Sushi shops, and ramen noodles shops. Kaisendon was very delicious, but I think Amakusa's kaisendon is as good as Tsukiji's kaisendon. At night, we stayed at a shared house in Meguro. On the way to the house, we lost our way. So we walked a lot... It was such a comfortable house. The owner of the house was a nice man. He made us coffee; it was delicious. On the second day, we went to the "journey festival". There were many food shops and so on. I watched live talk shows and music performances there. It was a wonderful day for us. The last day, an unexpected incident happened. Unfortunately we missed the airplane to Kumamoto. We stayed at Narita airport from the previous day, but we missed the plane... We were surprised and very sad. However in the evening, we arrived in Kumamoto at last. I was very tired, but this trip was my precious memory.
