Motoya Pancake

It was a great sunny Saturday afternoon.

I went to take a late lunch with my friend L to Motoya Pancake http://www.motoya.net/pancake-ristorante/index.html. L is an undiscovered genius of taking photos of food. Look at the picture above!

Their pancakes are so good that you can have them all! We ordered so-called "meal sets". L had spicy omelet with pancakes and I had Portuguese sausages with pancakes. Both of the sets were ￥1000　They were very filling. Thank you for being my company, L!

Ai-chan had nothing but water. Sorry././

It is just across the river from Motomachi shopping street. Why don't you stop by for pancakes when you go to Yamate Campus next time.

My brother joined us liitle after and we went to a wine place that Ls friends have. It was a good place, too. Ai-chan seemed happy and very hot to be out. She stayed over night with my brothers place.. She's not back yet....

I already miss you so much, Ai-chan.

ABE-Chan

This was the moment I had been waiting for.

Friday night, with your good friends, good food, long chatting to catch up... Could I ever want more?


ABE-chan Bekkan is the place you want to go for fresh Yakiton (grilled pork) and all kinds of Yakitori in Azabu-Juban.

I met my fabulous friends C-chan and T-chan first time in looooong time. I had so much fun with them tonight. I talked a lot, ate a lot and laughed a lot!


We worked for Miss International Pageant together three years ago. C-chan is a native English speaker while T-chan speaks perfect French. We shared a suite in the hotel in Tokyo for more than 10 days then. They are great to be with! I am sooo lucky to be their friends.


C-chan, I am always crossing my fingers for you and for me that your husband not to be transferred far from us.

T-chan, am looking forward to playing golf with you sometime very soon.




Have a great weekend,

Futsal Championship Japan 2007...regretted!

AFC Futsal Championship was held in Osaka, Hyogo, Japan from May 13th to 19th.

This competition begun in 1999. The 9th championship was held in Osaka and Hyogo, Japan.

This competition consisted of 2 stages.
16 teams were divided into 4 groups.
At the group stage, each team played each other once, the top two teams per group proceeded to the quarterfinal stage transitioning to a Knock-out format. The remaining 4 teams were based in Osaka to compete in the semifinals stage, 3rd place play-off, and the Final match.

I went to Osaka on May 17th to do English MC at the venue as the competition proceeded to the knock out stage.

Japan had won the last championship, so that it was expected for them to win the competition 2times in a row..

The result was cruel.. The champions were IR Iran. They played far better than Japan I would have to admit.

Oh well, there is always another opportunity. The championship will be held in Thailand next year and it will be FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. We should keep rooting for them.

By the way, the last picture is my fabulous co-workers. They do the operations for major soccer matches held in Japan. Being enthusiastic, they work so hard for not only players but also supporters and everyone who involves in soccer. It is always my honor and pleasure to work with them. They never get tired to have fun as well..

Fuji International Speedway

It was a beautiful weekend by Mt. Fuji. I went to Fuji International Speedway to work for an event which contains many car races.

After school on Friday, I went to Gotenba by car. Next morning, I was staned by the big Mt. Fuji right in front of our hotel. Soo BIG! I wonder why Mt. Fuji is not a world heritage... Anyway, we headed to Fuji International Speedway.

As we reached the venue, we saw incredible sight. The pit was full of Ferraris and Maseratis. Even though I am not one of those people who live for cars, I was quite excited.

The races were breathtaking to watch. The most interesting point is this event is carried by a car dealer and participants are all it's customers; amateur people. Therefore, this event is just for people who love cars and they race by their own cars...

Japanese economy is becoming really well in certain way..

P.S. The girl who is in the pictures with me is lovely M-chan. She was very pretty and sweet like honey. Thank you for being helpfull, M-chan.

57

I learned how to put the pictures to the blog from web in the last class. Above is a picture of my "inspiring person" Ken Watanabe. It is amazing how far you can do.. Hope we remember many techniques we learn in the class. Making new posts will surely be a good exercise.

By the way, I went to the opening party of a nice restaurant with my friend L tonight. He got invitation and generously took me there. Thank you, L! I loved it! The place is called 57. http://www.fiftyseven.co.jp/

If you like New York style, this is the place you want to go with your friends. Strongly recommended to Sex and The City fans. Oh! of course drinking is not allowed to those who are under 20.

You can enjoy non-alcohol beverages there, too. For your information, I had a sip of shanpane and a glass of orange juice today. Still had a great time!

Fever!

I played golf in the rain. As a result, I am having a high fever now. My body feels very heavy, sluggish, and tired. My back sore!! Yuk..

On the other hand, it is a good opprtunity for me to lay down and relax. I should be better very soon.

Drinking warm honey ginger milk helps me to recover from sick.

I will write more posts when I am better.

I am gonna try to get some more sleep.*.*
