Last Wednesday, I went to Shizuoka Prefecture with three friends from university. My goal is to go to a hamburger restaurant called Sawayaka. We gathered up in the morning and headed out. My friend did the driving for me, and I had to drive alone for a long time on difficult roads. It was very cool. I've only had my driver's license for less than six months, and I don't have the confidence to drive with friends around, so I thought I'd like to practice a lot and be able to go to various places. I will do my best. The hamburger was very tasty and meaty. I think I would like to eat it again next time. After eating, we went to see Japan's longest bridge. I was very moved by the combination of Mt. Fuji and the sunset. I felt so happy seeing that view and eating delicious food with my two friends. Studying is important when you're a student, but I realized once again that I want to cherish time like this and create memories. I think it is very important to be in touch with nature. I felt like my mind became clearer and I was able to relax and see things that I don't normally see. When I'm tired, I want to go to a place with lots of nature and look at the scenery. These days, I like calmer places with more beautiful scenery than the city. I want to go to various places.

Hello everyone! Over the weekend, I traveled to Tochigi Prefecture with four friends. It was about a 4 hour drive one way. We spent our time in the car playing music, singing, and playing games. This time we rented a log house. We had a barbecue in the evening. I ate meat, fried noodles, and marshmallows. It was really delicious. I had a lot of fun playing the guitar and singing. I was scared because the old man who lived next door told me that there would be a bear, but most of all, because we were in the forest, the stars were very beautiful, and there were so many stars that I couldn't see in Kanagawa Prefecture. I was very moved by the contact with nature. I decided to come here when I was tired. On the second day, we went to Nikko and did some sightseeing. It was my first time on a school trip in elementary school. The scenery of Irohazaka was very beautiful with some of the autumn leaves remaining. I also went to see Kegon Falls. After buying some souvenirs, I was so tired that I fell asleep on the way home. This time I went to the mountains, so next time I would like to go glamping or fishing at the sea.

Hello! I went to Ueno station yesterday. I went to Ueno to hang out with friends I made at a driver's license training camp. I attended a driver's license training camp with two friends. I made three friends there. Those who live in Kanagawa Prefecture and those who live in Ibaraki Prefecture. Since Ueno Station was right in the middle of both of us, that was the meeting place. The last time we met was at a training camp in August, and it's been about 4 months since we met. We all went to an izakaya and ate various kinds of food, including yakitori. I also had a lot of fun drinking alcohol. After that, we went to karaoke. We all sang, played games, talked, and had fun until the morning. I'm very happy that I was able to make friends from outside the prefecture that I normally wouldn't have been able to make friends with. I would like to make a promise to meet you next time and hang out with you regularly. They said their goal was to practice driving on their own and then go for a drive together. I would also like to practice driving so that this can come true. It was a really fun day!

Hello everyone! I have been feeling very unwell lately. I've been feeling a little unwell since the day before yesterday, and I think it's probably due to lack of sleep. My fever rose to 39.0℃ at night. I thought I had coronavirus or the flu. However, when I went to the hospital first thing in the morning and got tested, both tests were negative. I had a fever of unknown cause. I thought lack of sleep was scary. I realized that it is important to go to bed early, wake up early, eat properly, and exercise. I'll be careful. Compared to when I was in high school, I have much less time to exercise. I used to participate in club activities almost every day, so I never caught a cold. Since I don't have club activities, I decided to go for a walk and exercise on my own. I'm going to bed late, so I'll try to stay warm and go to bed early.

Hello! It's unusually cold today. It was very hot in Japan even though it was November. However, it has become very cold today. It feels like winter has finally arrived. Convenience stores have started selling oden. Oden eaten in the cold is very delicious. And now is the season for my favorite hot pot. Every winter, my family always eats hot pot. Everyone in my family loves hotpot except for my dad. I especially like kimchi hotpot and offal hotpot. Eating in the cold warms your body and makes you sweat. And after eating, it feels so good to get into the futon and laze around. I don't have a kotatsu at home, so I would like to buy one someday. My dream is to sit under a kotatsu and eat mandarin oranges. Just when you think summer vacation is over, winter vacation will be here. It's very fast. I'm thinking of trying something new during winter break. For example, I would like to try camping or snowboarding. Please let me know if you have any recommended ways to enjoy winter.

Today I'm going to Yokosuka for a school exercise. We had to meet at 9 o'clock, so I got up at 6 o'clock and left the house at 7 o'clock. I'm very sleepy. This is my first time going to Yokosuka. In the research study, we learned that Yokosuka Steel Works was located there, and that it has a long history of flourishing civilization, and that the facility still exists today. I'm looking forward to actually going to the place and hearing about the history of the city. For lunch, we will split into groups and go eat navy curry from four different places. It is said that curry was eaten by the navy because it was nutritious, delicious, and easy to make. I would like to know how it differs from the curry you get at home or for school lunches. When I looked into it, it had a light taste and came with milk as a drink. I'm really looking forward to going on the military port cruise! Enjoy the view over the sea.

Hello〜 Yesterday I had an early Halloween party with my friends. We drank champagne, prepared lots of sweets and cakes, and spent time at the hotel. it was very fun. Halloween in Japan is less exciting than in other countries, but some people enjoy dressing up in costumes. I didn't do it this time, but if I have time next year, I'd like to have fun wearing a full-fledged costume. There seem to be a lot of people wearing costumes at Disney and USJ. I would like to go abroad someday and participate in big events such as Halloween, Christmas, and New Year's. I think it's great that the entire country can enjoy events in places like America. When I have children in the future, I would like to have a big tree at home. I also want to have a real party with my family. I want to prepare lots of chicken and cake!

Good morning! I met a friend yesterday. We met up in the evening and went to a pub first. I ate highballs and other meals. The yakitori was delicious. After that, we went to karaoke. I went to karaoke and sang for the first time in a while. It was a lot of fun. Afterwards, we went to a nearby bar and had some drinks. There were darts there, so we played with them. It was interesting. It was a strange feeling to start drinking and hanging out with friends I had been playing with since elementary school. We felt that we had become adults too.

Hello everyone! I contracted coronavirus for the first time a week ago. I thought I had a headache, and when I got home and took my temperature, it was 38.8 degrees. I had to stay home for about five days. I had nothing to do, so I spent a lot of time sleeping. After my fever subsided, I finished my homework and watched movies to kill time. I saw a Korean movie called My Wolf. It's a love movie. It's been a while since I saw a movie, but I was very impressed. I highly recommend it, so please check it out if you're interested.
