Does anyone know the best spot of Hawaii? It has been a long long time since I latest wrote here. This year, I gonna travel to Hawaii in my summer vacation. I've never been there before, so please tell me your recommendation if you know well about Hawaii! I wanna go to Waikiki beach, lomilomi massage, the Segway tour, a scuba diving, and so on. I'll stay there with my husband and it'll provably be 6 or 7 days in September or October. We wanna stay there by using air b&b. Please tell me about the exciting spot, Hawaii!! I can't wait to going there!

The position of "very much" If you know why, please tell me about it below; In a writing class, I wrote "I was surprised very much." But my English teacher told me I should write "I was very much surprised." Why? The former was wrong? And how about "moved" or "upset"? "I was very much moved."? "I was very much upset."? It doesn't make sense. Please help me~~~~~

an old fashioned working style This morning, I saw two persons talking while waiting a train. They looked a boss and a subordinate and were talking about training systems of new employees. Boss said to the subordinate, maybe he was also a new employee, "I think they don't need to have their own computer during their training phase." Subordinate was very much surprised. "Really? Why do you think so?" Then, Boss said "Because we have only one word-prosessor a group when we entered the company. It became too much convenient for new employees recently." "But....now, if we want to know something, we can search on the internet quickly....", said Subordinate. Boss prevented him from continuing and said strongly "That is! That makes you bad, definitely! Whenever you want to know something, you can find a lot of helpful books!" I, was next to them, felt really awful. Word-prosessor??? What century are you talking about??? Time has changed obviously. Because of this kind of quite old fashioned bosses, working styles in Japan can't progress rapidly. Unless every managers may change, Japan will not being better. I really sorry about that subordinate. What do you think or how about your country?

at UNIQULO store These days, lots of shops have a "winter sales". So, I went shopping yesterday. When I am trying the "ultra light down” in UNIQLO store. Since this down jacket is super thin and light, some people wear as an inner under their coats recently. Also I am considering to wear it under my brand new coat made of wool. When I was trying the jacket in front of a mirror, a Chinese woman approached and asked me " Where did you get this?" At the first, I didn't understand what she said. Soon I noticed she is mentioning about my wool coat. Because I am wearing that down jacket under my coat, she thought my wool coat is the UNIQLO product. I said to her "Oh, the other shop." Then, she said "The other.....UNIQLO???" I continued "No, No, No. It's my own coat!" Finally, she got understand. She said "Oh, I see. It's Kirei desu ne（きれいですね; meaning "beautiful"）." in Japanese. We laughed together and she went away. To tell the truth, my brand new coat is much more high-quality which can't get in UNIQLO stores, but it is interesting experience, haha.
