My memories in summer vacation!

In this summer vacation, I had unforgettable experience.

My hometown has a festival in every September and I joined it for the first time.

It was very exciting! In the festival, a float (called "DASHI") runs around the town.

Because I joined as a drummer of a big drum, I could ride on the float.

To beat a drum was really hard and I got tired, but I really enjoyed our festival!

If you have a chance to come my hometown, see our festival and enjoy it!

I have a good appetite recentry!

It is getting colder and colder.I can't put up with my appetite as autumn deepens into winter!So I will tell you what I have ate this weekend in this blog.

This is a roll of cabbage stuffes with minced meat.I made it for oneself on Friday.I had a party with my friends in my house.This dish was popular among them.

This is a rich ice cream!!Very delicious!!My friend treated me it on Saturday.I was very happy.This tastes green tea.I want to eat it again.

Lastly, this is a Kiritanpo,a local specialty Akita.I went back to my home in Akita on Sunday and ate it.I love it very much!It's very very delicious!!I was so happy.

As I have said,I did nothing but eat this weekend!!I gained weight this autumn…

My Happy Weekend

I belong to paraglider circle.
Every weekend I enjoy paragliding in Owani.It is very exciting!!! And now leaves of autumn are beautiful.
It is difficult to operate a paraglider. But it is very fun! If I fly with paraglider from the high place, I can see beautiful sceneries which are Hirosaki city, Mt.Iwaki and so on.
But I am not so good at paragliding to fly from high place... Since I fly from low place. But sceneries does not change and they are beautiful.

This summer we gone to Tottori dune and enjoyed sightseeing and eating...of course paragliding too.

The sand was too hot to walk. The sun light was too strong to open my eyes.These things are also precious memories.

Our circle does not only paraglide but also do various things.

In July we climbed Mt.Iwaki. At that time, the snow still remained on the mountain.

It is very missed.

I spend my holiday like this.

That is my holiday are interesting!

That is all.

A delightful holiday

I joined in the meeting which we mixed with the students coming from abroad. This meeting had been held for 3 days in Bonjyu Mountain , Aomori. There were 46 people , including professors of 3 universities , Akita, Iwate and Hirosaki.

This is the lodging which we spent 3days. We were tiny bit cold , becouse these was under constraction.








The other members of my activies group. We took second place in the video contest.









The member who shared a room. We became good friends.














Everybody was cheerful and lively kind of person. I had a good time with their.









If there will be held this meeting , I want to join again.

My trip to Beijing

While you were having the school festival, I was in Beijing for the Fulbright Association annual conference.

This was the first time I've ever been to one of these Fulbright conferences, even though I'm a lifetime member. It was even better than I expected. I met Fulbrighters from all over the world. The talks were always stimulating and I was always busy learning new things, meeting new people and enjoying myself doing so. I even ran into an old friend from my graduate school days at UCLA, who was working in China as an Africanist. The UCLA African Studies program always sends a lot of people on Fulbrights.

This is the audience for one of the panels.
Most of the larger panels were held in a large hotel ballroom that had excellent acoustics. They held a formal dinner for us there, too, but I don't think I have any pictures. The picture below is of one of the stage of the same panel.















They also had some excellent banquets for us. Here are some of the people from my table.















The man on the right is journalist James Fallows who spoke to the gathering about China.















Finally the Ambassador of Luxembourg held a reception for us at the embassy. The ambassador is a former Fulbright scholar also.















Well, I was going to show you some photos I took at the universities in Beijing, and of the Forbidden City when I went there, but this is already longer than I expected it to be. I better quit here and post more later.
