Fireworks!

Tomorrow, there is a big Fireworks Festival in Sakuragi-cho.

However, unfortunatelly, the weather reporter said that it'll rain tomorrow...

I hope we can see Fireworks:(

So, if you have a time, why don't you make a small dolls(made of paper or cloth hung outside hoping for fine weather)!!!

I will!!!!!

G

Today, I had a lunch with intensive-G class members 2006 at Yokohama:)

We often saw each other in university, but I couldn't have chances to talk with some of them, so it was very enjoyable time♪

The members are my first friends in university, so they are very important for me to spend my university life.

By the way, the restaurant's name is "Gusupauro". Anyone know this restaurant?

It's a Itallian restaurant, and lunch menus are so reasonable.

If you like Itallian, please try it;)

Anyway, I hope we can see each other in Summer vacation!!!

TSURUTONTAN

Do you know this restaurant?

"Tsurutontan" is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants.

A famous actress, Mari Natsuki produces this restaurant and their taste are sooooooo good:) I recommend you all of menus, especially Oyakodon. I had never eaten such a delicious Oyakodon until I went there, so I want you to try it!

In the lunch time, it looks like a nomal restaurant, but in the dinner time, it become like a bar. You can drink cocktail with japanese food.

Isn't it cool??

Last weekend, I went there and ate summer's special menu.

Upper one is the picture:)

If you got interest, why don't you go Shinjyuku or Roppongi!

You can find Tsurutontan there!!!

MIYAZAKI

http://wikitravel.org/en/Miyazaki

I edited "By plane", "Do", "See" and "Drink".

By plane:

If you are under 21, you can get tickets cheaper than normal. And also during the summer vacation or New year time, lots of people try to get ticket for Miyazaki to go back their home, so if you want to get a window seat, be careful to make your plan earlier.

Do:

In Miyazaki, there are lots of things to see, and especially I want to recommend the ancient tomb. You can see it in Saitobaru town and you can go there by car or train. Miyazaki has some historical places, and this ancient tomb is one of the famous place to visit.

See:

Miyazaki is one of the most famous places for surfing in Japan. Lots of foreigners visit there during the summer. There are good waves and the sunset is so beautiful.

Drink:

"Kurokirishima" is a famous Miyazaki's sake. Miyazaki produces lots kind of sake, so people who like Japanese sake, Miyazaki is a good place to visit. However, some of them are expensive, so you can not buy them so easily.

CANADA

Montreal has lots of transportations, so we can go anywhere easily and you can find lots of unique metro buildings.
