The country I want to visit.

The country I want to go most is the United States,Alaska!

As you know, Alaska is a state of America.

I want to go there. Because I want to watch the aurora.

I like the objects coloring the night sky. They are very beautiful.

After watching the aurora, I will go to hot springs since Alaska has it a lot.

I wonder such low temperature is very pleasant for soaking in hot spring.
Alaska has some place which has glaciers.

They are so magnificent!!!

There are so many peculiar animals.

They are caribous, Arctic foxes, bisons and so on. Uh...but, of course there are dangerous animals too...grizzlies, wolves and polar bears.

...Be careful!!!!!!!

Like this, there are beautiful auroras, clear air, warm hot spring, magnificent glaciers and charming animals(sometimes dangerous)!
But this time I could not find cookings of Alaska. Next time I investigate, I want to find Alaska's cookings.
I wonder I want to go to Alaska early...

Apples

I'm sorry,I'm late for writing blog last week.


By the way,Do you like eating apples? I like it very much!
We harvest apples from late autumn to early winter in Hirosaki.
Last Sunday,my mother got some apples from her friend.I cooked apple pie and apple jam with my mother.It was delicious. If you have some apples ,how about cooking apple dishes?

My travel suggestion

I've been to Africa a lot and even lived there. Kenya is a great tourist destination, and the game parks there attract (you should pardon the phrase) the lion's share of tourism in Africa. And Kenya is a lovely country, with beautiful beaches, snow capped mountains, modern (and old, traditional) cities, and beautiful scenic countryside. You couldn't go wrong with a Kenyan vacation. Here's the University of Nairobi:
























Here's downtown Nairobi:
























Here's inside the University campus:
























But I have to admit that my usual suggestion for first time visitors to Africa is Ghana. It's not as overrun with tourists as Kenya, but it still has most of the things that people go to Africa for, including some of the friendliest people in the friendliest country. Here's the library clock tower at the University of Ghana, Legon:





















Here's the library itself, with an obvious Asian influence:



Here's the signboard for the Noguchi Centre. I think you know about the man on the ¥1000 note, and his connection to medical research in Ghana.






















This is my M.A. advisor, Merrick Posnansky, who lived in Ghana for many years and who took us to Africa for research:

































This is Elmina, famous as the site of the first European castle on what was later called the Gold Coast, now Ghana. The name means "the mine" in Portuguese, and it's where the Portuguese bought their gold.



Here are some pictures of Ghanaian friends.



















































And I don't even have time to mention the country I know best, Nigeria. Maybe later.

Korea

I want to go to Korea, and I have the two reason.
First, Korean foods have a lot of spicy and delicious food such as Kimchi, pibimpap, chijimi, kukpap etc. So,I want to eat korean food,especially I like spicy foods. I had heard that Kimchi is free in Korea from my korean friends.

Next, my mother has loved korean dorama since when i was a high school students;therefore I would like to go to Korea with her. However, I have not enough money to take her to Korea.

Japanese history

I went to Okinawa for a high school trip. There is Himeyurinotou in Okinawa. I hope that you have seen Himeyurinotou or Genbakudome and listened to peaple telling about suffering of the war. I saw Himeyurinotou. But I felt sad not when I saw Himeyuri but when I saw Heiwanoisizue.

On the other hand, there are many delicious food in Okinawa. Specially, I like tinsukou very much!

It was delicious!

I ate "marron soft ice cream" when I went to the Sannaimaruyama in September.

Not only it tastes marron, but also it looks like a "mont blanc."

It was so hot that I had to eat it quickly so as not to melt.

I would like to eat the soft ice cream one more time...

My favorite food

Every photos of food you put in this blog looks very delicious! I want to eat them.
My hometown, Iwate's food, "Morioka Reimen". In English, maybe it is called "cold noodles (in Korean style.). Morioka Reimen is cold noodles of Morioka version.
It has plenty of body, so it has substantial meal too.
I love it.
A lot of restaurants in Iwate especially Korean barbecue have it in their menu.
Please eat it.

Pumpkin

Pumpkin that was harvested on my family's patch is very delicious. It was grew by my grandparents . It is called "Bochan Kabocha", because it's the size of one's palm. It's size is easy for few people to eat the all. It tastes as if we added suger, thefore my family eat it in exchange for sweets. When the neighbors taste it, they praize my grandparents for it's excellent workship. It is good-tasteing indeed.

Lets' blog about food!

I guess we haven't blogged about food yet. I promised to blog about Greek food, because people in Japan don't know very much about it. I always try to eat Greek food whenever I go overseas. It's popular not only in the United States, but in European countries as well.

Greek food is very similar to other cuisines from the eastern Mediterranean Sea, for example, Turkish, Lebanese, and Egyptian. Falafel sandwiches are a common snack food from the area. In Los Angeles there are many falafel stands and restaurants that say "Lebanese food" or "Egyptian food" or "Israeli food" etc. but they all have the same cuisine. It is cheap, fast, healthy, vegetarian and tasty. They are made from ground bean patties fried and put into pita (pocket) bread. I highly recommend falafel over hamburgers if you visit the United States. Here's a picture of a falafel sandwich.



Most falafel stands are just like hamburger stands, though, the American equivalent of a soba stand, where you can get a fast quick meal. I hesitate to call most of them restaurants. Greek restaurants are sometimes just diners, but many of them are very high class, expensive establishments with floor shows. You might want to make reservations if you go to a high class Greek restaurant.

Greek food uses lots of lamb, eggplants, black olives, squid, feta cheese and many other ingredients I really like to eat. One of the most famous Greek dishes is moussaka. It is a kind of casserole made of ground lamb mixed with potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, spices and other ingredients. I often recommend it to friends who haven't tried Greek food before. Here is a picture of moussaka.



Other famous Greek foods that I like include lemon soup, Greek salad, stuffed grape leaves, gyros, souvlaki, and baklava, a dessert.

Someday I want to go to Greece and eat real Greek food there. In the meantime, here are some websites about Greek food for you to explore. If you are interested at all, try some Greek food when you go to Europe or America. You'll easily find it because it's very popular. Chicago is especially famous for Greek restaurants because there are many Greek Americans there.
