Cooking is fun!

Today I made dinner for my family. I boiled rice, made miso soup and macaroni salad and broccoli salad. My mother helped me a little, so they were nice! My younger sister asked for a second helping of miso soup, so I was glad.

Actually, I don't cook everyday but I decided to cook dinner every Friday night because I learned that New Zealand people don't cook dinner on Friday. Friday is the day which people can feel relax and don't have to act hard. My host mother didn't cook on Friday and she ordered some fried potatos and fried fishes. So, people love Friday! Friday is best day!!:0
I think so too, if there are the habit in Japan.

I thought it's good idea, so I decided on try cooking dinner and that let my mother lead a confortable Friday night. Also cooking is one of the training for homemaking, so I'll try hard from now on!

Essay 2-02: My Favorite Places in Nagasaki

I'll talk about my favorite places today. My favorite places are Nagasaki city and Sasebo city in Nagasaki prefecture. Have you ever been there? I think you've been Nagasaki city for your school trip before. I love these places because Nagasaki is my father's hometown and my relatives live there. I and my family go there twice a year, in summer and winter. I think that Nagasaki is my second hometown for me. Also Nagasaki city and Sasebo city have a lot of special points. That is why I love these places, so I'll explain three favorite points.

To begin with, Nagasaki city has many beautiful views. As you know, Nagasaki is a city of hills and there are many houses which are built on hills. The view is like a fairyland, so it's nice looking. I think people can't believe it that most people live in Nagasaki can't ride a bicycle because of hills. Actually, my father couldn't ride bicycle until he came to Kumamoto. Most people in Nagasaki walk the hills. I think that it's good exercise for people. When I go there, I walk the hills with my cousin for exercise. The night view is also beautiful. It called "The night of $1,000,000"! You can see it on Mt. Inasa. The view is romantic, so I think you'd better to go there once with your boyfriend or girlfriend. We can see beautiful sea near my relative's house and there are many ships lighted up. The sea smell is very nice, so I like this place.

Next, I think that Nagasaki has international culture. There are lots of foreigners in Sasebo city because there is US military base, so when I walk the city, I see foreigners many times. I always think "Is here abroad?". There are many foreign shops and restaurant in Nagasaki city because of Dutch village and China town. I sometimes go there and have a lunch with my relative.The Chinese foods and sea foods are very delicious!

Nagasaki is the stricken area of atomic bomb, so there are atomic bomb archives and peace monument. Nagasaki think much of "peace" than any other prefectures. That's also why I like this city.

Finally, they have original culture. There are many interesting festivals. For example, Syouryounagashi which is launching a paper lantern or votive offering on a straw boat onto the water to see off the spirits of one's ancestors on the last day of the Bon festival. I go this festival every summer. The fire crackers are really noisy, but it's interesting. Also there is Okunchi festival and you can see the Dragon Dance. It's so wonderful festival, so I want to see again. I like Nagasaki dialect. My father and my relative talks in Nagasaki dialect. It's different from Kumamoto dialect and the intonation is also different. It's very interesting!

I suggest you to go Nagasaki city and Sasebo city at least once. Nagasaki is romantic and international place, so I think you'll become like them. I'm going to go there in this winter, so I'm looking forward to go there. I love Nagasaki city and Sasebo city!!

We took プリクラ with my father and it was her first time to take プリクラ. She became like it, so I was glad. After went back home, my mother there and we talked a lot.

We went to hot spring near my house with my father. It was also her first experience, so she looked like very nervous. She was suprised at hot spring was hot, but she felt relax. I thought that that was her precious experience. haha:) After that, we went to grocery store and went back home.

There were Michelle and a old teacher and played some games which was musical chairs and action game and then we played with Maori sticks with singing a Maori song. It was so difficult for me. Yvonne's class was also game with chair and learned I.N.P. It is eye moving and if we learned it, we will be able to see through the person's lie. It was very interesting thing for me.

After the class, I, Haruno, Misora and Mika went to Jungle cafe and had a lunch. Today was free afternoon, so I decided to go downtown by myself. I left Unitec at 1:00pm but I lost my way to train station!! Oh, no! I didn't know where I was. I walked, walked and walked and listened to the train sound. Finally, I found the station. When I arrived there, Sanae was standing, so we talked. After, Junki came and we got a train together and talked many things about school, future dream, studying abroad and part-time job. It was interesting!

BUUUUUUT!!! An accident happened. The signal was break down and the train shopped for about 1 hour. It was long time!! We worried about it and time. 1 hour later, the train began to start finally.

Languages

Today's first class was two classes together and we had to interview to Alista who is a vegetarian and Yvonne's boss. Then we learned a Maori song from Yvonne. It was beautiful song and also we sung in Maori language. It was more easier than English because Maori language's pronunciation is similar to Japanese. Yvonne praised our singing in Maori language because our pronunciation of Maori was very good. And Yvonne looks like gulping down her tears because it was a farewell song. It's beautiful. This moved my heart.

After we took a Michelle's class and we talked about traveling. Then we played a game which Michelle gave a capital letter like "e" and we had to write something words starting "e" about country, animal, verb and food and we had to compete the time. It was very difficult for me! After the class, we asked some question about environment to Michelle (also Yvonne) and took a picture with her. We had a lunch on the bench in front of Keiko's office and I ate $6 delicious meal and it was first time to eat it. We talked with Sanae about Boy Scouts because she was a Boy Scout. It was very interesting! I want to have my future children enter the Boy Scouts because it's good experience for children, I think.

After the lunch, we met Japanese BA students and they're learning Japanese in Unitec, so we talked with them in English and Japanese. They're interested in Japan and they love Japanese culture. I was glad to hear that. After that, we wrote some messages for Unitec teachers and I and Yui went to Unitec cafe. We ate a sweet chocolate cake and drunk Macciato. The cake was very nice but I think I have to go on a diet when I back to Japan soon!! We talked about human relations and a type of blood. I thought it's difficult to keep good human relationship.

After I went back home, I and Jeff watched " High School Musical" and it was very interesting. I like the main character girl! She is so cute!! Then I, Jeff, Ben and Nigel had a dinner.

Exciting Day!

Before Michelle's class, I and Michelle held preliminary discussions about congratulations of Ayako's birthday. Then we made a poster of some advice to fellow students about "how to improve your English". After the class, we sung a birthday song for Ayako and I and Haruno went to another class to took back a birthday card but they didn't write it, so we went back our class without the card. Yvonne's class was interview to Joe who is a staff of Unitec. Then we learned "Put in~" and "Take off~".

After the class, we had a lunch at a bench in front of the Mrs. Keiko's office. Then we went to 10 pin bowling. First, we experienced the Laser Strike. We wore a jacket with lamp and had a gun.

It was a very precious and interesting experience.

After my group played a bowling. My team was Miho, Michiru, Haruno and Yui F. I got a nice score for me, 98! I've never gotten like high score because I'm poor at bowling game. So I was glad to see that. After it, I and Haruno vs Misora and Mika played a game in the game center. It was so interesting. After, Everyone gathered and I said" Happy birthday, Ayako!!" and we sung a birthday song for her very loud voice and gave a birthday card to her. She was surprised at it and moved backward shyly. It was so funny. Anyway, she was a lucky girl.

I went back home with Yui. When I went back home, I made a picture of square piece of fancy cardboard for Unitec teacher. I wrote kiwi bird. Then at 6:00 pm, I started to make Okonomiyaki. It took very long time than I'd expected because I had to cook for 6 people and cooked it with wok, not frying pan. So it took 2 hours. Jeff also cooked some Madelaine tasting lemon sugar. We had a dinner together and everyone said " This is yummy, very good Nozomi. Thank you!" So I was glad and felt happy. I don't cook everyday in Japan, so it was good time for me.

Then I bought 2 clothing. We went back home at 5:00 pm.

When I got home, Jeff, Olivia and Ben were there and Jeff and Ben played the game on big screen and no lights. I, Jeff and Ben played some games like "Wii" and wrestling with play station 2. It was very funny. After playing it, we had a dinner and it was "norimaki" but there were no raw fish but avocado, carrots and many kinds of food. I tried to eat putting avocado but it was no nice. Putting avocado and chicken on the rice is popular style in NZ, they said. It's very interesting, isn't it? I think maybe most Japanese can't believe that style and very surprised at it. I think no raw fish is no life in Japan!! HAHA:) But most NZ people don't like raw fish. I can't believe it. It was culture shock for me! I'll tell my mother this new style when I back home.

I asked some question of my research to my host parent. They answered very kindly. I have to complete the presentation!! Oh~~~no~~...

I read the book about boats. The book’s pictures are really cute and colorful, so I enjoyed reading this book. There are many boats I don’t know.

For example, there is big boat, fancy boat, plain boat, boat in bathtub, ferry boat, motor boat, working boat, old boat, sail boat, high boat, show boat and so on. I was very surprised at read that because there are so many boats! It’s really interesting!

I ride a ferry boat every summer to go to Nagasaki and meat my relative. Riding ferry is so fun and I always go outside of the boat and watch seagulls with my family and also watch beautiful sea with feeling sea breeze.

But nobody call me "Jessica" but they call me " Nozomi". Only Penny call me " Noshomi". HAHA:)

This morning plan was preparation for research in Unitec library but I couldn't do that, so we chatted in cafe having some snacks and sweets. Then Old man spoke to us suddenly and said to come to church on Saturday but we have a plan, so I so said that I can't come. It's difficult for me to reject without harm his feeling. I'm a Japanese, so there was no way I spoke ambiguously. It was so difficult for me!!

Two my friends were asked by some foreign boys and my friends were annoyed. Unable to reject, they turned me for help but I didn't sit their table, so I called them to go to next class. I thought that this way I could help the girls temporally.

Tired Day...

Today, I went to St. Lucus market with KGU students by bus and it was like Japanese "You me town"! HAHA:) I bought two tops like camisole and I like it very much because it's really cool and it was on sale! I was lucky!! The shop name was KOOKAI, so I felt the meaning is Japanese ”後悔”. It was very interesting. I think we need tell the meaning for the shop assistants. HAHA:)

After the shopping, we had a lunch in Unitec and I ate a burger because it was free! The sousage was so nice and I like it! Today's class was so fun and we enjoyed some games but I thought that we have to more communicate with other country students because Japanese always gather and talk with only Japanese. I think we don't form groups but talk more English. My idea is that some Unitec students will be assistants of our English class and support us in English. Then we can make Unitec friends! It's so nice idea, isn't it??

After the class, I and my friend, Ayaka went to Sanae's house with her because she was alone in her house today. We enjoyed to talk and her house was rich and beautiful! There were three expensive cats. I and Ayaka went back home by walk, so we were so tired.

After the dinner, I and my host mother went to Olivia's girls club which is making something or drawing something. It looks fun and there were many little girls. Then I met a Taiwanese girl who can speak Japanese a little. She is 23 years old and she is in here for three months now. She is interested in Japan, so I talked Japanese and English with her. It was nice time for me and I was glad to speaking some Japanese.

After, I and mother went to supermarket " Pack in Save"and I was surprised at the extent! It was big, everything was big!! Penny bought a lots, so I helped her. There were many foods I didn't know, so it came as a good lesson to me. Oh~~~, I 'm sooo sleepy now...
