大晦日 New Year’s Eve

大掃除は終わりましたかね?
我が家は、来年3月に引っ越しをするので、そこそこに終わらせました。
さて、今年も嫁が正月用の花飾りを会社で作って来ました。
ワシのブログに公開せー。っちゅうもんで、ご披露します。
材料さえ有れば、この程度は誰でも作れると思うんだがね。

Have you finished last day’s cleanup?
In my case, we will move to new condominium in next Mar so we did it so so.
Anyway, my wife made New Year’s lei at our company this year too and she requests me to show it in my blog.
She has lots of proud of this but I think everybody can make this kind of easy lei, if people had materials.

高見ちゃん Takami-chan

高校の同級生の高見ちゃんから北海道ラーメンが送られて来ました。
去年も頂いたのですが、今年のは具まで入って豪華版。
寒い冬のラーメンは最高!
ワシの腕にかかれば、意外と家でも美味しく作れまっせ。

今日はクリスマスイヴだけど・・嫁は会社の友達とヤマハ吹奏楽部の
演奏会へ行ってしまい、ワシは一人家でお留守番。
しっかし、無駄に天気いいわぁ~!

I've got a gift, Hokkaido Ramen, from Takami-chan, my class mate in high school.
Last year, also he sent me but this time, it includes also topping so grade up from last year.
You know, eating Ramen in cold winter is so nice!
By my cooking skill, I can cook very yummy Ramen even in my house.

Today is Christmas Eve but my wife went to Yamaha brass band club concert with  company friend so I’m staying in my house alone.
It is real "home alone".
Anyway, today’s weather is so nice but nothing to do and nowhere to go!

エアコン Air conditioner

来年3月新居に引っ越すにあたり、今リビングで使用しているエアコンが
7年選手になるので、部屋が一つ増える事やしリビング用で大きめのエアコンを
買わないかんなぁ。と思い電気屋さんへ。
大きさは、まぁ4kwhかな。と見ていたら高い奴は25万円。安いのは16万円。
エライ値段が違うな。省エネの奴がいいんだが・・・。と店員さんに声をかけると
「丁度このクラスは11月に各社新機種を発売したので、旧型は安くなってます。
 旧型は在庫無くなり次第販売終了です。25万円のが新型、16万円が旧型ですが
 どちらも最上位機種です。省エネでは三菱”霧ヶ峰”が断然一番」との事。
家に帰り得意の価格.comの書き込みチェック。
128,000円で買っている人がおり、交渉価格はこれで決まり。
あとは決戦に臨むのみ!
浜松のヤマダ電機で希望価格を伝えると、133,000円が精一杯との事で了解。
来年3月の配送で購入即決。しかし、元々25万円もしている製品が
旧型になると約半額になるんだから、絶対家電は新機種が出た時に旧機種を買うに
つきるとつくづく思う日でした。

My air conditioner, now we using, is seven years old and next Mar, we will move to new condominium so I went to electric shop for checking air conditioner price because new condo has one more room so I need bigger one for living room.
I think the size should be 4kwh and checked the prices in the electric shop.
In there, expensive one is about JPY250,000 and cheap one is about JPY160,000.
The price has big differences but I prefer energy saving model so I tried to ask salesclerk.
He said “in Nov, every electric companies released new models of this size so old model price is down and the old model will be finish to sell soon after inventories sold out.
JPY250,000 is new model and JPY160,000 is old model but both are the highest model.
And in his opinion, he thinks Mitsubishi Kirigamine is by far the best energy saving model.

The day, I returned to home and checked comments about the model in website, Kakaku.com, as usual.
There was one person who bought the model JPY128,000 so my target price is fixed.
My final mission, price negotiating battle, is settled.
I visited Yamada electric in Hamamatsu and I told my target price to salesclerk but his best is JPY133,000 so I accept it and I made a deal for delivery it in Mar.
But you know, original price was about JPY250,000 but if it became old model, the price will be about half so I really thought we must buy electrical fittings old model when new model was released.

Yes, she is the famous monster “Ittanmomen”!
It is rare to meet her but she was here.

再会 Reunion

11日、Yukoファミリー(夫ロビー未帰国)と京都で再会。
新たに家族に加わったセナ君とは初対面。
とっても大人しい子でワシ好みよ。
ママとお姉ちゃんがトイレに行ってる間、ワシと2人っきりでお留守番してたけど
全然いい子で食べちゃいたい位。
セナ君みたいに大人しい子なら我が家にも欲しいと思ったわ。
実はワシ、ベビーカーを押した事が無いんよ。
そんな訳で今回初ベビーカー&写真は無いけど初赤ん坊を膝抱っこさせて
もらいました。
ミオちゃんも相変わらず可愛くて、ワシの事を「たてしー」って呼んでくれます。

On 11th, I met with Yuko family in Kyoto but her husband Roby is not because he is still in Canada.
He will come to Japan around Christmas.
I could have first meeting with Sena-kun, new family of them.
He is very quiet boy so I really like him.
During Mom and sister went to toilet, he was stay with me but he never cry.
He was waiting them by really nice and calm attitude.
If I can have the kind of calm baby like him, I thought having baby will be good.
As you know, I don’t have baby so I don’t have experience to push baby car.
So this time was first time of me to push it and I didn’t take picture but also I could hold him on my knee.
Normally baby will cry, if unknown person try to hold but Sena-kun never cry.
And of cause, Mio-chan is also still cute and she call me “Tateshi~~!!”.
Too cute!!!!

台湾2012 Dec 

6日~8日の日程で台湾出張。
気温は16~22℃位で半袖ではちょっと寒い感じです。
仕事が割と早く終わったので、ホテルの周りを散策。
今回も羽田⇔台北松山空港便での往復だってので
台北中心部の六福ホテルに宿泊。地下鉄の駅が目の前に
あり、松山空港までは地下鉄で25元、約30分で行けました。
台北の地下鉄は非常に綺麗で、案内板も確りしていたので
全然迷う事無くスムーズに行けました。
これなら、観光で来ても全然何処でも行けてしまいますわ。
ちなみに1台湾元は約2.8円です。

I was on business trip to Taiwan from 6 to 8th.
Temperature was between 16 and 22 degree so half sleeve was little bit feeling cold.
My job was finished earlier so I walked around hotel.
This time also I use flight between Haneda airport and Taipei Songshan airport go and back so I stayed 六福hotel in center of Taipei.
Subway station was located in front of the hotel so I can go to Sonshan airport by the subway with TWD25 and it takes about 30 minutes.
The Taipei subway was very clean and information is good too so I could go to the airport very smoothly.
I could easily use Taipei subway so if I come to here with personal trip, I can go to everywhere by myself.
Anyway, the 1TWD is about JPY2.8.

引っ越し見積り Removal estimation

来年3月の新居引っ越しに向けて、各引っ越し業者さんから見積もりをとりました。
3月、4月は転勤、新入学などで引っ越し業者にとって超ハイシーズン。
な訳で引っ越し料金は12万円程度と高め。
でも、アリさんマーク、アート、サカイの3社に見積りをお願いしたんだけど
3社ともお土産持参。
アリさんは水とカロリーメイト、アートは洗剤関係、サカイは米2kg。
見積り取っただけで色々貰いました。
その分安くしろよっ!

We will move to new condominium next Mar so I ask removal estimation to some companies.
In Japan, lots of students and company staff move in Mar and Apr so the months are very high season for remover.
So the estimation price, about JPY120,000, is higher than the other season but there was little good thing for me.
You know what it is?
I get 3 remover’s estimations and all the three companies has brought gift to me.
Of cause, it is free.
First company, Ant mark, is water and calorie mate.
Second, Art, is detergents.
Third, Sakai, is rice 1kg.
Only I asked estimation and I got these gifts.
But you know, if they give me the kind of gifts, I want to request them making estimation cheaper the gift value.

株主優待券 Stockholder complimentary ticket

先週、ANAの株主優待券が届きました。
これが有ると国内線が半額で乗れます。でもワシは自分では使わずに
金券ショップへ販売。1枚¥5,000位で買ってくれるはず。
ANAの株は儲かっているのか?って。
半年ほど前に1株210円で買ったのが、今は178円前後・・・。
はい、そうで損をしてます。ワシは2,000株持っているので約6万円強の損。
まぁ~、来年の3月に向けて価格が上がると信じて売らずに持ってます。

Last week, I got stockholder complimentary ticket from ANA(All Nippon Airways).
I can get on domestic air plane with half price because I have the stockholder ticket. But I don’t use it.
Do you know how I use it?
I will sell it to ticket outlet shop.
They maybe buy the ticket JPY5,000 per a thicket from me and I have 2 so it will be JPY10,000.
You may want to know my stock situation of ANA, right?
I bought ANA stock half years ago with JPY210 but now it is around JPY210 so yes, I lost about JPY60,000 now.
But I think ANA stock will be rise in Mar so I don’t sell it and I have to wait it will be going higher.

苫小牧駅前 in front of Tomakomai station

11/12~14の日程で、名古屋、大阪、北海道出張。
苫小牧に行ったのは何年振りでしょうか。
記憶では寂れた街並みだったけど、でっかいイオンが建ってたりしてて
しばらく北海道を離れているんだな。と実感しましたわ。

I was on business trip to Nagoya, Osaka and Hokkaido from 12 to 14th Nov.
I haven’t visited Tomakomai city in Hokkaido long time.
In my memory, this city was small and kind of deserted city but not only big AEON shopping mall but also the other new shops were built in there so I felt I have left long years from Hokkaido and lots of things are being changed in here.

離島出張 Business trip to isolated Islands

11/7~8の日程で、伊豆諸島の島へ出張で行って来ました。
伊豆諸島へ行くのも初めてでしたが、ヘリコプターに乗るのも初めてで
今回は初めてづくしの出張でした。
で、大変だったのは帰り道。
行きは羽田⇒八丈島の便でしたが、帰りは三宅島⇒羽田の飛行機で帰る予定に
していたのですが、三宅島は火山ガスが空港方面に流れてくると飛行機は欠航に
なるらしく、10月以降の冬場は月に2~3便しか飛ばないんだってよ。
そんなん知らんから、普通に何の心構えも無く島に着いてビックリよ。
偶然一緒のヘリに乗ってた方々が親切に、欠航になったらどうしたら良いかを
教えてくれたから良かったけど、そうじゃなかったら路頭に迷ってたわ。
そんな訳で急遽三宅島⇒東京はフェリーに切り替えて、飛行機なら14時に羽田に
着いていたはずが、東京に着いたのは21時。家に着いたのは23時30分でした。
疲れた~・・・。

I was on business trip to the Izu Islands on 7 and 8th Nov.
This is first time to visit Izu Islands and also getting on helicopter so I could have lots of first experiences in this trip.
But on back way, I got big trouble.
In going way, I used fright from Haneda airport to Hachijo Island but on back way, I was planning to use flight from Miyake Island to Haneda airport but the back way flight was canceled because of volcanic gas.
In Miyake Island, if the gas was going to airport, the flight is canceled soon and normally after Oct in winter season, only 2 or 3 flights per month can come to Miyake Island but I didn’t know the kind of information so I was so surprised after reaching at Miyake because I haven’t readied anything in case of flight cancel.

But fortunately, very kind people who got on helicopter with me taught me how I should do when my flight was canceled so I could smoothly change back way getting on ferry.
So original plan was on PM14:00, I could arrive at Haneda airport but flight was canceled and I used ferry so I could reach at Tokyo port on PM21:00 and back home was on PM23:30.
It was so exhausted.

島巡り Island tour

7日からの出張は、東京⇒八丈島⇒御蔵島⇒三宅島⇒東京のスケジュール。
羽田発の飛行機からは大島、三宅島、御蔵島が綺麗に見えたので写真撮影しました。

Scheduled route of business trip from 7th was Tokyo Hachijo Island Mikura Island Miyake Island Tokyo.
From air plane which departed from Haneda airport, I could see Ooshima, Miyake and Mikura Island clearly so I took pictures.


こちら大島。島中心部の黒い部分は噴火の後ですかね?

This is Ooshima.
You can see black color in center of the Island, right?
It maybe marks of eruption. 























こちらは三宅島。島全体が火山だよ!?

This is Miyake Island.
Whole Island looks volcano!?























これは御蔵島。島の外周は全て断崖絶壁。でも、人が住んでます。

This is Mikura Island.
All outline of the Island is cliff but people are living.




First Cabin in Haneda airport

7日のフライトがAM7:20だったので、6日は羽田空港内のファーストキャビンという
カプセルホテルに宿泊。
カプセルホテルと言っても、2段式の狭いスペースに閉じ込められる感じでは無く
ちゃんと天井の高さが確保されたカプセルホテルです。
勿論素泊まりになりますが、大浴場、各部屋にテレビも完備されているので
翌朝早くにバスや電車で都区内のホテルから空港に来る手間を考えると
全然便利で問題無し。
何せ羽田空港の第一ターミナル内のホテルなので、空港までの所要時間ゼロ。
価格は1泊¥4,900なのでビジネスホテルよりも当然安いです。
ただ、難点は宿泊客のほぼ全員が早朝便に乗る人達なので、朝4時前後から
ゴソゴソと結構な物音がし寝てはいられません。
カプセルホテルなので、防音という概念は全く無く通路を歩く音とかは全然
聴こえてしまいます。

My flight time on 7th was AM7:20 so on 6th, I stayed in capsule hotel whose name First Cabin, in Haneda airport.
Normally capsule hotel is very small room and it is like a bunk bed style but this First Cabin is not the style.
The room has enough height of ceiling.
Of cause, it is no meal but we can use big spa and every room has own TV so it is not uncomfortable.
The hotel is located in Haneda airport first terminal building.
If I stayed other hotel in wards in Tokyo, I have to wake up and move to airport by bus or train from early morning but the First Cabin is in Haneda airport building so moving time is nothing.
Don’t you think it is so useful?
The price is one night JPY4,900 so it is, of cause, cheaper than business hotel.
But problem is almost all guests have schedule of getting early morning flight so lots of guests start moving from around 4 AM so I could hear some sounds and of cause, cannot continue sleeping.
It is capsule hotel so it absolutely doesn’t have soundproof and easily we can hear sounds, people walking in corridor.

Long time no see you!

6日は出張前の東京前泊だったので、トロントで一緒だったH子ちゃんと一年半振りの再会。
トロントでは独身だったけど、今は結婚して優しい旦那さんと幸せな毎日を過ごしている様です。
でも、この人 海外志向が強過ぎて、その優しい旦那に海外勤務しろ~、海外勤務しろ~って
日々プレッシャーを掛け続けているそうですわ。
1年半前は、一緒にマレーシア ペナン島に行ったんだけど、
変らず元気だし美人さんで良かった良かった。

I stayed in Tokyo at 6th night because I will go to business trip from 7th early morning so I met H-ko-chan in Tokyo, we’ve been in Toronto together, after an interval of one and half year.
When we were in Toronto, she was single but now, she has got marry and could get very good kind husband and happy life.
BUT! She has too much ambition of living foreign countries so she always gives big pressure to the good husband “let’s move oversea” let’s move oversea”.
I really sympathize and worry him because of the big her pressure.
One and half years ago, we went to Penang Island in Malaysia together and she is still healthy and beautiful nothing change from before.

肋骨ヒビ I got crack on my rib

先週日曜日10/28にヤマハ剣道部部内リーグが有り参加しましたが
我がDチームは、まさかの3位。ワシの成績は2勝1引分でマズマズ。

しかし、その日の晩から右腕と右胸に強い痛みが・・・。
翌日、腕には大きな青タンが出来ていて、なるほどこれか。
と痛みの原因に納得。
ところが、右胸の痛みは筋肉痛と何か違う。
水曜日になり、明らかにこの骨が痛い。と感じる骨が有る。
午後半休を取り病院へ。
レントゲンの結果は、大きなヒビは見つけられないけど症状から
言って肋骨にヒビが入っていますね。との事。
でも、渡されたのは湿布のみ。これでヒビは治るのか???
しばらく剣道はお休みです・・・。

Last Sunday, 28th Oct, I was entry to Yamaha team competition but my D-team was, don’t say, third position.
My result was 2 wins and 1 draw so it was so so.

But at the night, I had pain in right arm and right chest.
Next day, on my right arm, I had blue mark so I could understand the pain reason on my right arm.
But in my right chest, I feel pain more and more and the pain is absolutely different as usual and I could really know pain in actual one bone so I got day off and went to hospital on Wednesday.  
I took roentgen picture and big crack was not found but doctor said my symptom is absolutely crack of chest bone.
But doctor gives me some of poultices only….
Can I really recover with the poultices???
So I have to absent Kendo some of days….
Can you see poultice on my right chest?

靴下 Socks

19日金曜日に会社を休んで、ジャズドリーム長島へショッピングに出かけました。
ジャズドリームは、アウトレットショッピングモールで、この近辺では御殿場アウトレットに
次ぐ大きさ。
色々と買ったけど、紹介したいのは靴下の大人買い。
靴下って色んな柄を買うと、片方に穴が空いたりするともう片方は自動的に
ゴミとなってしまいますが、私の場合は違います。
常に靴下は、同じ柄を大人買い。そうすれば最後の1足になるまで、無駄なく
使う事が出来ます。
そんな訳で今回も、同じ柄を12足 ¥3,000分のご購入です。

19th on Friday, I took day off and went to Jazz Dream Nagashima for shopping.
Jazz Dream Nagashima is outlet shopping mall and in my area, Gotenba outlet is the biggest and Nagashima is the second biggest mall.
I bought some clothes but you know, what I want to introduce you?
It is socks!
Normally people buy different design socks but in my case, I always buy same design socks many because if I buy different design and it got damage, the other socks will be garbage automatically, right?
But if I buy same design many, even one socks got damage, I have still lots of socks remain so I can use the socks till the last one.
So this time also I bought 12 same design socks by JPY3,000.
Don’t you think I’m so ecology person?

白いブラックサンダー White "Black thunder"

10月11日~12日で北海道出張。
帰りの空港で、何か面白い物無いかのぉ~。と見てたら
北海道限定 白いブラックサンダーを発見。
北海道の空港限定で販売しているらしい。
ホワイトチョコなんだからホワイトサンダーじゃね?

I was on business trip on 11 and 12th Oct.
At airport of back way, I was looking for something good for souvenir.
The time, I found white “Black thunder”.
“Black thunder” is chocolate snack and the original is using black chocolate.
It appears that the white Black thunder is sold only at airport in Hokkaido.
You know, white chocolate is being used for the snack so this time, I think the name should be changed to “White thunder”.
Don't you think so too?

掛川祭り Kakegawa Festival

10/5から掛川祭りが始まりました。
静岡県西部は、住民参加型のお祭りが非常に盛んで、お祭り期間中は
街中を山車や大獅子が練り歩く為、あちこちが通行止め。
半被を着た老若男女が大盛り上がりで、ワッショイ、ワッショイって一日に
4回も5回も大獅子を担いで出て行きます。
これは、掛川だけじゃなくて、浜松辺りまでの市町がほぼ同時期に同様の
お祭りをやってるもんで、何処に行っても半被の人が歩いてます。
そんな訳で、この週末は街中が居酒屋状態。3日間飲み通すそうです。
勿論、我が家は不参加です。

From 5th Oct, Kakegawa festival was started.
Inhabitants, living at west area in Shizuoka, are very active for doing their festival.
During the festival, lots of floats and big lion dances are walking around down town so many streets are closed for them.
Young and old male and female, wearing happi coat, are running high in the festival and they are going out 4 times, 5 times per day with carrying the big lion dance with saying “Wasshoi Wasshoi”.
Not only Kakegawa but also the other cities and towns near Hamamatsu city are doing same kind of festival almost same week so even though I go to other city, I can easily find walking people, wearing Happi coat, everywhere.
Anyway, this festival will be held 3days in this weekend so whole the cities become like a kind of bar and people are keep drinking 3 days.
You know, I’m not interested in this kind of too much noisy festival so I don’t touch them.

ピアノコンサート Piano concert

本日9/30は、日曜日なのに忙しい。
午前中は剣道、午後からはピアノコンサート。夜は浜松で結婚式の2次会に出席予定でしたが、
台風13号が大接近でJRが止まっているので、2次会は申し訳無いけど欠席にして
もらいました。
さて、ピアノコンサートですが清塚信也さんが、掛川に来てのコンサート。
俺もそうだけど清塚さんの事は知らないよね?
有名なのは「のだめカンタービレ」や映画「神童」で松山ケンイチの吹き替え演奏をした人で
ピアノ演奏は勿論文句無し。さらにトークも非常に面白くて本当に行って良かった。
小泉総理じゃないけど「感動した!」
ピアノは、去年のショパンコンクールを取ったヤマハ フルコンサートピアノCFXです。

Today, 30th Sep, is so busy even though it is Sunday.
Today’s AM, I went to Kendo and PM was Piano concert and at night, I had schedule for my co-worker’s wedding post-party party in Hamamatsu.
But! Typhoon 13th critically hit my area and Japan railway was completely stopped so I couldn’t go to Hamamatsu for the wedding post-party after Piano concert.
Anyway, I would like to talk the Piano concert.
Pianist Shinya Kiyozuka has came to Kakegawa-city. Do you know his name?
He played piano in drama “Nodame cantabile” and movie “Shindo” instead of real actor so his piano was fantastic!
And also his talk was so funny! I really had good time in his concert.
You know, I was really impressed like Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi well said.
The Piano he plays, is Yamaha full concert piano “CFX” which could win in Chopin piano competition last year.

送別会? Farewell Party?

去年、中国から帰って来た営業の寺田くん。
11月から営業部は、本社勤務となるとなる為、送別会という名の
飲み会をしました。
中国から帰って来た時には家財道具を一切持っていなくて、車も
エスティマハイブリットの新車を購入したんだってさ。
そんな訳で今度海外転勤になる時には、そのエスティマを安く売って貰う
約束をバッチリ取りつけました。
4年後くらいが丁度いいんだがなぁ・・・。

Terada-san in sales division, backed from china last year will move to head office in Hamamatsu city on Nov so we had small party as farewell party.
When we back from China, he didn’t have anything of household effects so he bought everything in Japan and also new car, Estima hybrid.
So we made promise if he moves to foreign country again, he will sale me the car by cheap price.
It is good for me if he move 4 years later because my car is still good condition now.

9月秋田出張 Business trip to Akita 2012 Sep

9/10~13日で秋田出張。
いつも泊まっている温泉宿ですが、今回は温泉汲み上げポンプが壊れていて
宿泊客のみ入浴OKという事で、ほぼ貸切り状態。
朝風呂もワシ以外は誰もいなかったので写真撮影しました。
湯煙で見えづらい?

I was on business trip from 10 to 13th Sep.
Onsen hot spring pomp of hotel always I stay was broken but only customers who stay at night could use Onsen hot spring so almost no other people this time was.
In the morning time, only I was in there so I took a picture.
Can you see me?



Mr, M

剣道合宿 夜の宴会でノリノリのカラオケを歌うヤマハ発動機のMさん。
これは2曲目でダンスや歌詞が控え目ですが、1曲目の”渚のハイカラ人形”が
凄かった。
大爆笑で2曲目にもかなり期待をしてましたが、1曲目には及ばなかったわ。
まさかの宴会芸だったので1曲目は動画撮影してません。
ホント見せたかったわ~。

In night feast of Kendo training camp, person who is singing greatly Karaoke is Mr, M –san, working at Yamaha motor.
This movie is second song of him and it is not powerful enough if I compare with his first song, Nagisano Haikara ningyo.  It was so great.
It was so funny. All of us were laugh and laugh and we couldn’t stop it.
So we really expected to get same his great performance in second song too but it was not as good as first song.
I couldn’t expect his great performance in first song so I couldn’t take the movie.
I really wanted to show you!

インドネシア出張 8月

6月に続き8/28~9/1のスケジュールでインドネシア ジャカルタ出張。
今回はシンガポール経由ジャカルタ便での往復。疲れた~。
インドネシアは、南半球の赤道付近に位置する年中常夏の国ですが、
ナント!夏の暑さは日本の方がよっぽど暑い!
湿度が日本より低いのと、日差しが日本ほど強く無い為だと思います。
そんな訳で成田空港出発ゲートで写真撮影。こんな格好でも出張です。

I was on business trip to Indonesia Jakarta from 28th Aug to 1st Sep.
This time was both way transit at Singapore. It was so tired.
Indonesia is located neat equator in the Southern Hemisphere so all season eternal summer but the hot feeling is much better than Japan.
I think because humidity and sunshine are lower than Japan.
So I’ve took a picture in front of boarding gate in Narita airport.
My clothes are not formal but this is not trip. It is business trip.
Don’t misunderstand!























それと今回は、夕食にワニ肉の野菜炒めを食べました。
ワニでっせ、ワニ。クロコダイル!
味は・・・?
ナント!メチャクチャ美味いんよ!とっても柔らかくて鶏肉と魚の間くらい。
臭みなんて全然無くて、世界中の人がワニの美味さに気付いたらワニ絶滅だな。
チャンスがあったら食べてみて!絶対にお勧め!
って事で写真を掲載します。肉見えるかな?

And this time, I could have chance to eat crocodile meat of fried vegetable.
It is crocodile!
How do you think the taste?
Say, it was fantastically delicious!
It is so tender and I felt it is like between chicken and fish.
It has absolutely no fishy smell.
Maybe, if people in the world awake the crocodile taste, I think crocodiles will be extinct soon.
If you have chance to eat it, just try, don’t hesitate!
I really recommend you!
I took the dish’s picture. Can you find the crocodile meat?

扇風機 Electric Fan

暑いぃぃ~~~。今日は特に用事も無く有給休暇。
ワシは、月に1日は有給を取る努力を怠らない努力家です。
さて、今年も節電。昼間のエアコンはつけずに扇風機で我慢。
そんな訳で、先週末新しい扇風機を買いました。
値段がスゴイ!なんと!650円!安過ぎやろっ!
そんな訳で暑さ+新扇風機の写真を撮りました。

Soooo~~~ hot!
Today I took day off but nothing to do.
I’m kind of effort man to take a paid holiday per a month.
Anyway, this year also we should save electric power, right?
Day time, we don’t use air conditioner so we have to endure this high temperature with electric fan.
So I bought new fan last weekend!
Do you know how much it is?
It was, say, JPY650!  Too~~~ cheap!
So I took a picture of new fan and my hot feeling.

蝉の声 Cicadas' singing.

夏ですねぇ~。毎日暑い!
気温が暑いのは当たり前ですが、蝉の声は暑さを倍増させますなぁ~。
我が家の前には小さな公園が有るのですが、朝の早くから泣き出し
6時頃には大合唱。とても寝てられないんよ。
言葉では伝わらないこの騒音が、どれ程の物かを動画撮影しました。
見てみて下さい。
平日だけならいいけど、蝉には土日が無いから夏の間はずっとこれに
悩まされます。

Summer is coming and everyday terribly hot in Japan.
It is summer so, of cause, temperature is high but if we hear cicadas’ big singing, the feeling of hot will be double.
There is a small park, in front of my apartment house, and the cicadas start to sing from early morning and about 6 o’clock, their singing will be huge volume.
I think nobody can keep sleeping in the atmosphere.
You may not understand how big it is with my words so I took movie yesterday for you.
Please check it.
You know, if it was only weekday, I don’t care so much but cicadas don’t have any Sat, Sunday and holiday so they sing everyday and it bother my sleep every morning in summer.

高校剣道部OB会 OB party high school Kendo club

私は、高校生時代3年間剣道部に在籍。
剣道は小学校1年生から初めて、下手くそながら大学2年までの14年間もやってて
このブログでも紹介してますが、去年の12月から約20年振りに再開。
今回は、故郷の旭川市で高校剣道部のOB会が有り参加しました。
写真は懇親会での集合写真。

前列
左から2番目のおじさんは、私が小学校の時からお世話になってる富田先生。7段です。
左から3番目が中村先生。剣道部顧問。もう75歳になられた様で当時の恐い先生は
何処かへ行ってしまい人が変った様に優しくなってました。
一番右のオレンジ色の服の子が、このブログにもちょいちょい出て来る同級生のあっちゃん。
先月の大会で5段の部 北海道2位になったらしいです。篤子さん強過ぎ(笑)

後列
一番右がワシ。
右から3番目の紺のシャツは、ワシの弟です。

When I was high school student, I was in Kendo club team for 3 years.
I started Kendo from first grade in elementary school to second year in university so it has been for 14 years I played Kendo but I’m not good at it though.
You may know, I‘ve said some times in this blog that I re-started Kendo again from last Dec, after an interval of 20 years.
This time, my high school Kendo club team had OB party in my home town, Asahikawa-city, so I was joining it.
This picture is the party group photo.

The front row
Second person from left side is my very old master of Kendo, Tomita-teacher.
He is my best teacher of Kendo and I really appreciate him.
He has thought me lots of thing about Kendo since I was elementary school student and I can never catch him at Kendo forever. He is seventh grade master of Kendo.
Third person from left side is Nakamura-teacher, Kendo club master.
Now he is 75 years old. When we were high school student, he was so strict and scary master for us but today, he has been totally changed to very mild person.
It maybe because he got age, I think.
Most right side lady wearing orange clothes is my classmate Acchan, showing up in my blog sometimes.
Last month, she could get second place in fifth master grade of Kendo competition in Hokkaido.
Acchan, you are too strong!

The back row
The most right person is me.
Third guy from right side, wearing navy shirt is my young brother.

7月北海道出張 Business Trip to Hokkaido in Jul

さて今月も10日~15日の日程で北海道出張でした。
今回は、初日の晩が遠軽で宿泊予約が取れずに北見市で宿泊。
そんな訳で北見駅前で写真撮影しました!

I was on business trip to Hokkaido again from 10th to 15th Jul.
This time, I couldn’t get reservation of hotel at first night in Engaru town so I stayed in Kitami city at the night.
So I’ve taken a picture in front of Kitami station.

思わぬ被害 unexpected damage

前回の北海道出張中に、台風5号が静岡を直撃。
確か6/20だったと思う。
あれから約3週間が経ち、街中あちこちの桜の木に変化が。
そう葉が枯れてしまってます。
あまりの風の強さに海水が巻き上げられて、雨と一緒に降り注いだ事が
原因だそうです。いわゆる塩害。
写真は苗木を撮りましたが、大きな桜の木も同様に多くの葉が枯れて
しまってるよ。来年ちゃんと咲くのかね?

During last time business trip to Hokkaido, Typhoon 5th directly hit my home town Shizuoka prefecture.
It was maybe 20th Jun, I think.
3 weeks were going from the day and I could find some difference on cherry trees in my town.
Yes, leaves are dying.
The reason of the dying is strong winds raise seawater and the seawater was coming down as rain in our area.
What we call damage from salt.
I’ve taken a cherry sapling but also big trees are being died same as sapling.
Next spring, can we see cherry blossom same as usual or not??

ホタテ貝柱 Scallop

昨日6/30から大阪の嫁の実家へ行って来ました。
先週の北海道出張時に、旭川の行きつけの魚屋さんから嫁さんの実家へ
特大ホタテ貝柱と牡丹エビをクール便で送りました。
嫁さんの実家は3姉妹だけど、息子はまだワシだけで行くと何時もホント
良くして貰うのでタマには美味しい物をって事で送ったんだけど、
写真を見てみて!貝柱のデカイこと!
一緒に写っているグレープフルーツと比較すると如何にデカイか解るでしょ?
味は言うまでも無く最高よ!

I went to my wife’s home from yesterday, 30th Jun.
Last week, when I was on business trip to Hokkaido, I visited fish dealer in Asahikawa I always use and sent very big scallop and Botan shrimp to my wife’s home by cool home delivery service.
My wife is 3 sisters but son in-low is only me so when I visit wife’s house, my parents in-low always so kind to me so I want to show my appreciation to them by delicious Hokkaido sea food.
Please look below picture! The Scallop is so big, right?
You may understand how big it is! if you compare with grape fruits in a picture.
Of cause, the taste also fantastic!

北海道出張 Business Trip to Hokkaido

6/18~23で北海道出張。
今回初めて女満別空港を利用したので写真撮影しました。北海道には
空港が幾つも有るので、北海道民でも地元の空港以外は殆ど行く事
無いですね。
さて、今週本州では最高気温30度を超え真夏日だった様ですが、北海道遠軽町は
朝の気温ナント8.8度。町民は家でストーブを炊いたらしいです。確かにサブかったわ。
でも、もう直ぐ7月ですがね・・・・。

I was on business trip to Hokkaido from 18th to 23rd Jun
This time was first experience for me to use Memanbetsu airport so I took a picture.
Hokkaido is my home area but Hokkaido has some airports so I haven’t had chance to use other than my home town, Asahikawa, airport.
Anyway, this week, maximum temperature in main land of Japan was over 30 degree so it was kind of Midsummer Day but morning temperature at Engaru town in Hokkaido is 8.8 degree.
Engaru people said they used stove in the morning.
I can understand it was really cool morning but you know, Jul will be coming soon, right?

稽古後 After kendo Training

今日も剣道部の稽古に行って来ましたよ。
雨が降ったので気温は低く約20度程度。でも、マジ!?って思う程の汗の量。
これが本州か~!と納得したく無いけど納得。
さてさて、剣道再開して約6ヵ月。全然進歩が無くて稽古の後は傷だらけ。
胸に赤いキスマーク。彼女からのプレゼントなら良いのですが、現実は彼からの
痛いお仕置きよ。
何時まで経っても返り討ち。
でも、何時か叩き返す日を夢見て頑張るぞ!

Today, I went to Kendo training.
We had rain today so the temperature was low, about 20degree, but in the training I got sweat really a lot.
Main land of Japan is really hot in summer season so I don’t want to understand the summer is coming but I have to accept it.
Anyway, 6 months was going from I re-started Kendo again but my skill haven’t improved yet so every time after Kendo training, I get lots of hacks.
If it is kiss mark from girl friends, it is fine and really nice but fact is hurts from club members.
I’m trying to beat them every time but always defeated again and again.
I’ll do revenge someday and my dream must be coming true!
