Let me answer these questions from now!

Physical - Rock-Climbing

I'm now crazy about rock-climbing. I've been rock-climbing two or three times a week. Now my grade is 4th in bouldering, 5.11a in lead climbing.

My goal in this area is to climb Yosemite in two years. To do that, I have to build my body up, exercise every day, and take a proper diet to loose weight.

I'm 31 years old now. My life is limited. My time is dwindling. So, I must do.


I must go.

Business - Searching for a job

To tell the truth, I'm searching for a new job. I'm thinking to want to get a job which is done abroad. Directly, I want to use English on business to enhance my basic abilities.

Working abroad is one of my dreams. Speaking several languages, I handle tough matters on various situations on business. I had a dream, which is shinning on a continental.

I'm kind of tired of my current job. It's not bad, rather better than most of other jobs. I have a plenty of pay, good relationship, and suitable workspace.


However, I must go.

Beijing - Confucius

(A statue at the palace of Confucius)

Confucius is very famous in Japan. He apears in various situation, such as books of business, or textbooks in school. His wisdom is often talked in people. The living of diligent, modesty, and strenuous.

He used to say, "The man in his thirties has to accomplish something. And the man in his forties has not to doubt." This word made me surprised, when I read this in a book. It's because I used to consider my thirties as like something fuzzy, but this word let me really awake.


I'll stand vigorously in front of my live. Living my life, accomplishing something.

Beijing - The Beer

I drunk beer in Beijing twice, although I had been quitting drinking entirely. There were some reasons. First, it looked like that I had to order a kind of beer. Generally speaking, people in a restaurant often order some alcohol.

Second, remenber that this trip's purpose was researching, not for sightseeing. So, at the proper restaurant I had to order beer for research. Researching the sales of beer or something is always important in the researching trip.

Finally, I had loved China. So, I had to drink beer. That means that ordering beer costs more money. Spending more money is valuable for the local economy. Booming the economy is that China will be a more wonderful country. It makes me happy.


That's all.

English - In the TOEIC test

I got 895 points in the last TOEIC test. The score is not bad generally. However, my target score was over 900 points, as I had mentioned over and over again. So, I was a little disappointed when I saw the result.

But, to tell the truth, I was truly glad to get the grade. It's because the grade was my highest score and was 60 points higher than the last one. I had been fairly afraid that I got the lower score than the last one.

By the way, my journey is just beginning. I should struggle to enhance my English skills from now on too. In March, I would get the nearly 990 points and be very pleased to get my goal. And, and, and, , , I'll do something. I'll do something.


Thank you. Good night.

Beijing - Chinese women

To tell the truth, I liked Chinese women in Beijing. They were really pretty and look like pure. For instance, at the souvenir shop I had a nice conversation with them. As well as at the hotel, the ladies were really smart.

To tell the truth again, I liked Chinese people. That is, it's because they looked like diligent and having dreams. They had something Japanese don't have. Their eyes were shining and clear. Especially, the women's emotion was very impressive.


I'll come back again. To see them, to meet them.

Beijing - Continental

I felt "continental" in China. Of course, China lies Eurasia, the huge continent. That I was swallowed up by the waves of people in buses made me felt "continental". That I was in the suburbs in Beijing and felt the sunset made me thinking a lot.

China was great, in terms of its scale. There were a lot of people, a lot of cars, and a lot of buildings. Rather, there was something big. I saw this as a continental life. Yes. I felt that I should send a continental life, not a small life. I thought that I should think big, or speak three different language.

I have to live as a continent. I have to live like something big. I have not to get the details. I have not to fall into a pit. I should be eager to concentrate into my life. My life deserves continental.


I am not satisified with my life, amn't I?

Beijing - Speaking English

I had fairly speaked English in China. Before leaving for China, I had heard of that I couldn't use English in China because most of Chinese don't speak English. So, I had given up practicing English in China in advance.

Contrary the expectation, I could fortunately speak English in China. Such as at the hotels, at the airport, and at the stores. Although at the last trip to NYC and London I used the textbook of the travel conversation of English, this time I could fluently speak English without the books. This made me more confidant.

That I can speak English is a passport to communicate with the world. It's extraordinary valuable. Several years ago I couldn't completely hava a good command of English. Not at all. I wasn't able to write even a sentence, and speak even a conversation. It made me frastrated.

However, through the struggle with English, I can do these little by little. I got the good score in exams. I had started the lessons with native speakers. The more important thing is that I become to be able to travel all around the world. It makes me widen.


In summary, it's good that I've studied English.

Beijing - The buses

Of course, buses were running in the city of Beijing. I thought the bus system of Beijing was good. It means that the fare was extraordinarily reasonable and the number of the running bus was many.

People in Beijing really often ride the buses. The buses run throughout the city surprisingly. Plus, the bus is cleaner that expected in advance.

I rode the buses several times. Riding the bus is one of the wonderful memories in Beijing. I could see the people in the bus and could know the life of the people.

The best way of knowing the nation and people is, I think, riding buses. The bus reflects public lifestyle and the level of their life. This is an important thing.


Anyway, I ride the train too.

Beijing - KFC

One of the most surprised things was there were really many KFC stores. KFC was much more than even McDornald's or StarBucks. Chinese like the chicken, don't they?

I ate the chicken, by the way, but it was not delicious, I think. That chicken was smaller than the Japanese one. However, there were a lot of Chinese in the stores.

Anyway, mainly young people like the fast food shops, as Japanese. The stores are clean and have standard. We are relieved with the factors.


By the way, I used to be a vegetarian. Where am I?

China - The toilet

People say that the toilets in China are extraordinary dirty. For instance, there are no partition between the bowls, or there are pigs that have the flowing something. My father used to travel China and said that the toilets were foul too.

One of the purposes in traveling China this time is to research how dirty the toilet is. This is almost a joke, but somewhat serious. It is true that the toilets reflect the nation's cilivization degree.

Anyway, I had looked up the toilets in Beijing, and I was really surprised. The toilets were surely clean. There were the toilets with fine facilities and good cleanness. I was very comfortable about relieving myself.


Finally, the toilets in China are becoming really clean.

China - Beijing

Let me introduce Beijing even in this English blog.

I had been to Beijing for five days, from Dec. 1st to Dec. 5th. It was really fantastic. I saw real China, the truth of communism, and the mentalities of Chinese. It was really instrumental in understanding the world. Adding to that, I had been preoccupied with the concept of "continental".

Now is late, so I'll describe that in this blog tomorrow. I promise that.


Thank you.

I should write something

I should write something in this blog in order to make my writing ability enhance. During the daytime I mainly study English grammar these days. Doing the dictation is held in the morning. So, what I have to do at night is writing English.

Writing proper and sophisticated English sentences is challenging. I have to learn tons of idiom, various phrases, and difficult syntaxes. I would have to proceed little by little certainly.

I have a dream. The dream is far from now standing. However, I cannot help trying that. It's my fate.


Thank you.

How wonderful China is!

Hi everyone,

I had been to China, Beijing for five days, from Dec 1st to 5th. I was really excited and impressed. I was wondering that which constitution between Japan and China is better, what image the 20-year-later China has, how I get along with Chinese people, and so on.

I got a fever. The fever was like a dream. A couple years later I'll be speaking three different languages and make a conversation with three different people. I had had a image of "continental" for China, Chinese, or the future me. I would be a "continental" person in my thirties.

Traveling around the world is really all good. What I saw in China makes me driving crazy. I would drive my car like a crazy. My target had been settled completely. What I have to do next is "just do it". Just do it with this new experience. The China was really great.


Thank you.
