Postcard from... San Francisco, California, U.S.A.

Hi Jim-sensei,

I'm in San Francisco. I got a chance to stay here for two nights during business trip.

Before I came here I thought it is sunny and warm. It is sunny, but windy and COLD than I expected.

It is like early winter!

I went to some view points and took pictures.

I'll share them once I return!

After reading- The quest

If you had a boat...

Write about a place you would like to visit by yacht

If I had a boat, I would like to visit the various horbours in Japan.

First of all, I would visit the famous harbours in the side of Japanese sea.

I would visit Wakkanai city in Hokkaido first and Otaru city next. In this way, I would go southward from Hokkaido to Okinawa.

The fish food is very delicious in the harbours in the side of Japanise sea. I would like to enjoy fising and eat the delicious fish a lot.

After going southward to Okinawa, I would take a lisence of scuba diving there.

Since the sea and fish in Okinawa is very beautiful, I would like to enjoy the scuba diving.

After enjoying scuba in Okinawa, I would move toward the north along the horbour in the side of the pacific ocean.

In the horbour in the side of the pacific ocean, I would like to enjoy the beach.

In the beach, I would drink beer and sleep to get sunburnt under the sunshine.

This will be the most enjoyable holidays.

However, it is very hard to realize these dream. I will need a lot of holidays, money and, of course, my yacht.

I also have what I have to take priority more a lot.

If I win a lottery, I would like to try to these travel by yacht.

Doh, a deer. My train hit a deer...

A nightmare journey I remember was three years ago, when I was only 13, going to Chiba to meet my granny.

Tokyo station - scary at night

I left Matsumoto at 6:45 by train. About three hours later, the train stopped at Tokyo. I waited inside the train for about fifteen minutes, but it didn't move. And then I heard an announcement that the train had crashed with a deer. The train couldn't move for about two hours. So I decided to take another train, but they'd all stopped already. I was too young, so I stayed at the station.

When I phoned my mum, she said to wait in the station. My mother's sister lives in Yokohama, so she came to Tokyo station to pick me up. In the end, I stayed in Yokohama for a night, and the next day I went to Chiba. I was very glad to see my grandmother and to be safe. The journey had taken 14 boring hours instead of four!

A postcard from Hong Kong

Dear Damian

I'm staying in Hong Kong for four days, and today I'm going to go back to Japan.

I'm very excited!
I love the cluttered buildings, good foods and the beer cheaper than Japan.
I took many photos. They were more beautiful than sold postcards. So this is picture card.
Did you already leave Japan?

I look forward to meeting you in November.
