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.

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。
