Animal I don't like

Can you guess what animal I hate the most?

I have a bad experience about this animal.
Basically most of people don't like this animal.

This animal sometimes (often?) attacks people.
flies and the color is dark.
is believed to bring bad luck.
usually cries in the evening.
can be seen around a dead body or a gabage.
is scary so I never close to this animal.

Do you need more hints?

PASAR Makuhari

Do you use a PA or a SA?

PASAR Makuhari is one of parking areas.
This is located on Keiyo Road Expressway.

On 17th I went there to have early dinner.
The name of the restaurant I went is ちばの恵み 千のぶどう.
(Click here if you need to know more.)

This is the buffet style restaurant.
The price is not very expensive,
I mean, it's very reasonable.

This winter I went to 東京ドイツ村 to see the illumination,
but on the way to ドイツ村 we dropped in this PA and found it.

Recently I enjoy having lunch or dinner outside as much as possible.
This is one of my objectives for 2011.
I also have more plans to go and have dishes outside.
I'm looking forward to these events recently :)

Try guessing where this is

On 10th of April after seeing cherry blossoms,
I visited the place above to feel Korea after a long time.

Certainly the Korea town seems a town in Korea.
You can feel Korea there. Have you been there?
If you have never, try it once
even if you are not interested in Korean dramas, actors or so on.

A lot of female people were there.
Especially young people and middle-aged people are there.
The number of visitors, shops, super-markets,
and restaurants increased, compared to the past.

I have several favorite restaurants there.
Centainly the taste in Shin-Okubo is very good.
However, the price in Japan is more expensive that one in Korea.

Present -Part 2-

Don't you need the textbooks above?

I don't use those textbooks anymore,
so these are presents for you if you need.

I have four textbooks.
One person can get four,
or four people can get one by one, too.

Anyway vfeel free to ask for them.

Cherry Blossoms in 2011

Yesterday I went to Asagaya to see Cherry Blossoms.
A friend of mine invited me to go and see them.

I had never heard of the name of the park.
Do you know 善福寺川緑地 in 杉並区?

The weather was fine and the temparature was also OK.
It was a really good day to see Cherry Blossoms.

After that we went bowling.
I played it after 7 or 8 years.
We had two games, and I was a winner in the first game.
I am not very good at bowling, so I was lucky.

This year where did you enjoy seeing Cherry Blossoms?

Classroom and Psychological test

Don't you think that
Japanese people tend to like Psychological test?

I have one question to you.

When you took a lesson for the first time,
why did you choose your current seat
from the five seats in our classroom above?
Do you have any reasons?

Each seat has each type.
Isn't this interesting?
Aren't you interested in this?

Sanuki Udon

Do you like noodles?

There are a lot of kinds of noodles
such as Udon, Soba, Spaghetti, Ramen, Pho, what else?!

I'm going to introduce one of my favorite Sanuki Udon shop.
This shop is located in Ochanomizu which is near my office.
I often go there and have lunch with co-workers of mine.

The taste of the noodles is really really good.
And the price is reasonable.

This shop is very casual but crowded with people.
It is next to Hijiribashi Exit in Ochanomizu Station.

One of the branches is in Mizue (Edogawa ward) on 都営新宿線.
The name of this Sanuki Udon shop is 楽釜製麺所.
