世界遺産ベルニナ急行 UNESCO World Heritage "Bernina Express"

出張で欧州来てま～す！
今回は鉄道移動が結構多い。今までこっちで鉄道なんて乗った事無いんで
メチャクチャ不安・・・・。
鉄道を乗り継いで、山間鉄道に乗る事20分。車内放送で世界遺産という言葉が
聞こえて来た。何が世界遺産なのか解らないが景色は確かにかなり良い。
何が何だか解らないまま下車し後日調べてみたら、私が乗ったのは「ベルニナ急行」。
この山間鉄道が世界遺産だった様です。

I’m coming Europe!

This time, I have many chances to use train.

I haven’t had experience to get on train in here so I’m really nervous.

I transfer trains some times and I could get on train which goes between mountain and 20 minutes going.

I could hear a words “UNESCO World Heritage” from the train announcement.

Actually the scenery is quite good but I couldn’t understand what point is the World Heritage.

I got off the train and I still didn’t understand why it is World Heritage and some days after, I checked it and could know the train which I got on was “Bernina Express”.

This mountain train itself was the World Heritage.

2年ぶり？ Interval of 2 years?

出張で東京へ行きましたので、久し振りに紘子ちゃんと夕食。
元気で相変わらずって感じ。
今年は、ミン、紘子ちゃんに会えたし、ユラから電話も来たし
割とトロント率の高い年になりましたな～。

で、彼女の望む旦那さんの海外転勤は全く無しだって。
でも、旦那は会社で昇進したそうで。
おめでとう！

I stopped at Tokyo on the way of business trip and had dinner with Hiroko-chan a long separation.

She was really fine and not changing anything.

This year, I could meet Min, Hiroko and talked with Youra on the phone so I could have chances to meet friends, I met in Toronto.

And she said her husband couldn’t have chance oversea transference because he could get promotion.

Only for her, it is not good but for them I think it is very nice thing, right?

Congratulation!

群馬 Gunma prefecture

どもども～！しばらく更新してませんでしたが、昨日から群馬県高崎市へ
1泊2日で行って来ました！
行きはバスで渋谷まで行き、その後JRで高崎までの旅路。
渋谷に着きふと人生初の渋谷という事に気付きハチ公を撮影。
ハリウッド映画の影響だと思いますが、外国人が列をなしてハチ公像と
写真を撮ってました。

Hello! I’ve not update for long but I’ve gone Takasaki city in Gunma prefecture with one night 2days.

For going way, I used high way bus till Shibuya and after that, I went to Takasaki city by JR.

When I reached Shibuya, I realized this is first time coming to Shibuya so I took a picture bronze statue “Hachi”.

I think because of Hollywood movie, lots of foreigners were taking pictures with the Hachi.

で、高崎駅前で写真撮影。And I took a picture in front of Takasaki station.

で、今回初めて知ったんだけど、ヤマダ電機の本社って
高崎駅東口に有るって事で、こちらヤマダ電機本社です。
他のヤマ電とは比べ物にならない程店員さんが溢れてましたわ。
サスガ本社って感じでした。

I could know this time headquarters of Yamada electric is located in front of east exit at JR Takasaki city and this is the building.

In there, lots of staffs were working and it is absolutely much more than other shops.

I could feel it is indeed Yamada headquarters.

芋焼酎色々！ Potato shochu etc

どもども～っ！ワシです。
前の投稿で「赤霧島」をゲットした事お知らせしましたが、
更に美味しい焼酎は無いかと探していたところ。
面白いYoutube動画を見つけて写真の3本を購入。
右が「赤兎馬」、中央が「伊佐大泉」、左が「赤薩摩」。
紫芋を使っている赤霧島と赤薩摩。本当はどちらが美味しいのか
知りたくて「赤薩摩」を購入。
これ、マジで美味いわ。ホントまるで薩摩芋を食べているかの様な風味と味わい。
ワシが言っているYoutube動画を見たい人は
赤薩摩で検索すると、関西の誰だか知らない2人が赤霧と赤薩摩の
飲み比べをしている動画を見つけられると思います。
年末の我が家での飲み会で同じ様に呑み比べしたいと思います！

Hello! It’s me!

In previous update, I told you I could get “Red Kirishima” but I keep researching if there is more delicious shochu or not.

Then I’ve found funny Youtube movie and I’ve bought 3 bottle of new brand of shochu.

From right side “Sekitoba”, center “Isataisen” and left side “Red Satsuma”.

“Red Kirishima” and “Red Satsuma” are made from purple potato.

I curious about which is more delicious so I bought red Satsuma too!

You know this “Red Satsuma” is really delicious!

I felt like a really eating sweet potato because of the smell and flavor.

If you want to watch my mentioning Youtube movie, you may find and retrieve with keyword “赤薩摩” and you may watch 2 people, stranger of me, are saying their opinions.

End of this year, I’ll have party in my house so I’ll serve to coming people both shochu “Red Kirishima” and “Red Satsuma” and I want to hear their opinion which is more delicious for them.

赤霧島ゲーーットっ！ Red Kirishima GEーーTっ！

やったぜ～～～っ！
赤霧島3本確保！
赤霧島って知ってるか？紫芋「ムラサキマサリ」を原料とした芋焼酎なんだが、
半年に一度しか販売しない限定品。
しかも、超人気で酒屋を始めとする取扱店は全く店頭に並べない。
赤霧島有りますか？って聞いて初めて渋々奥から1本だけ出して来るって代物。
今回は10月9日に出荷開始で3軒の酒屋他を渡り歩き手に入れました。
正直、一度も飲んだ事無いけど嫁の父ちゃんが「赤霧は美味いで～。」って
言ってたのでそれを信じて買ってみました。
大体が定価￥1,230なのにネットで￥2,000前後で売られてるってどういう事やねんっ！
年末に会社の仲間と飲み会するので、そん時に飲ませてやるか。

Yahooo---っ!

I could get 3 bottles of Red Kirishima!

Do you know Red Kirishima? It is potato shochu, distilled liquor, and made from purple potato “Murasakimasari” and only once a half year, it will be sold.

It is kind of limited product and it is very very popular in Japan so most of liquor store doesn’t exposure this in their showcase.

So I have to ask shop clerk “Do you have Red Kirishima?” and after my asking, he’s gonna unwillingly bring this from backyard stock only one bottle.

This time, it was released on 9^th Oct so I went to 3 liquor shops, the other and finally I could get these 3 bottles of Red Kirishima.

Actually, I’ve never tasted this liquor but my father in low said “Red Kirishima is really tasty” so I believe his comment and bought these.

You know, even though this liquor’s list price is JPY1,230, it is selling about JPY2,000 in web site.

Can you believe this? But it is true!

Anyway, end of this year, my co-worker will be coming my house and we are going to have a small party so the time, I’ll serve one bottle.

What a good person I am! You totally agree, right?

夕食 Dinner

雲見温泉での夕食を動画撮影しました。
写真だけだと声とか解らないからね。ミンは元気でしたぜ。
ちょっと太ったかもしれんが。
彼は、今日静岡空港から無事帰国しました。
今週水曜日から7日間今度はシカゴに遊びに行くらしい。勉強しろよ！

さて、今朝の我が家での出来事。
朝食中に携帯電話が鳴り、見てみると送信元は、これまたトロントでルームメイトだった
韓国人のユラ。
話をするのは2年振りかな。「教会の関係で千葉に来ているので電話した。」って。
で、丁度ミンが居たので彼に電話を換わって少々お話。
で、再度俺に換わり「マンション買ったから遊びに来いよ。温泉も連れて行きたいし」って言ったら
そう、じゃ　ちょっとミンと話ししたいからもう一度換わってくれ。って。
再度ミンと少々お話。
で、再度ワシに換わったらユラが
「ミンが、お前の家はクソだって言ってるわ。だから、そのクソハウスその内見に行くわ。」
だってよ。大爆笑！
何でもいいから早く来いっつーの！
さすが我が最愛の友ユラ。ほんまオモロイわ～。来たら大歓迎してやるよ！

I’ve taken movie of dinner at Kumomi hot spring.

You may want to hear Min’s vice, right? He is fine but looks little bit gaining weight.

He could leave safely from Shizuoka airport today.

And he said he will go to Chicago from this Wednesday for 7 days.

I think he should study hard!

Anyway, this is a story in my house on breakfast.

When we are taking breakfast, my cell phone was ringing and Youra who is my Korean roommate in Toronto was calling.

I think maybe it is after an interval of 2 years talking with her.

She said “now, she is coming in Chiba prefecture for church program so she made me phone call”.

Min was staying my house so I changed the phone to him and talking a little.

After that, I talked with Youra again and I said “I’ve bought new house so please visit my house and I want to take you hot spring too”.

She said “OK, she wants to know about my house so please change this phone to Min again”.

And she has talked a little while with Min again and he pass me the phone call.

And she said! “Min said your house is sucks! So she will visit to see the sucks house! OK?”.

It is very funny for me!

I know her very well and we could laugh a lot with her joking.

You know, I don’t care about any reason for she’s coming to come my house!

I really want to invite her soon and she should come.

She is the my closest and lovely friend, Youra, she is so funny and I love you!

When you coming my house, I really welcome you!   

来たーーーっ！ Coming~~~っ！

さてさて昨日から雲見温泉に1泊2日で行って来ました。
今回は嫁とでは無く、男2人旅。
さて、この人誰でしょうか？トロントでワシと一緒だった人は解りますよね？

I went to Kumomi hot spring from yesterday with1 night and 2days.
