Hida-Takayama

お題「行きたい場所」

I'd like to visit Hida-Takayama (飛騨高山) once again.

You can take the highway bus from Osaka to Takayama and it costs about 3,000 yen.

Takayama is like a small version of Kyoto and appeals to the emotions of Japanese people.

You can enjoy good scenery and traditional crafts.

A famous food served there is Hida-meat (飛騨牛), a dish prepared from edible wild grasses, a sweet and salty miso etc.  

If you want enjoy Hida-Takayama more, I recommend that you go there by car.

You can go Gero Hot Springs (下呂温泉); it takes about thirty minutes.

Besides, you can go a limestone cave, It takes about 30 minutes to get there.

Moreover, You can visit Sirakawa-go (白川郷), the heavy snowfall area; it takes about an hour. 

Hida-Takayama is an attractive place!

 

PS : This book, under below, is very useful for keeping a diary!

I recommend it to you.

I'm Overweight.

My fiancee and I have decided to have our wedding in June next year, so we think that I should go on a diet.

However, it's harder to lose weight now than it was before.

I suppose my metabolism is slower.
I gained weight--about 13kg!!-- with a free box lunch and lack of exercize last year.

Besides, I need to remove cellulite, but I can't do it by myself.

Anyway, I'm obese that I can't handle it by myself.
After discussing it, we decided that I'm going to get a slimming treatment.

English Conversation Online

Although I stopped for a while, It has been several years since I  started taking English conversation lessons on online.

I had used Weblio, wirh a plan allowing me to use it  eight times a month, but I have changed Weblio to DMM, which allows me to use it every day.

This is because I felt I was making slow progress with the material of Weblio.

I'm weak at English vocabulary and grammar.

I wanted to learn grammar but I had trouble since it was very boring and difficult.

Now I'm studying "Grammar in Use: Advanced" on DMM with teachers.

 

 

They are glad to explain grammar during the lesson.

I wonder if my English is getting better.

I don't think to use English much at work, so I can't spend much money on English.

However, English is interesting, so I enjoy it every day!

By the way, I have a hard time pronouncing the 'R' sound.

When will I overcome this?

I want to be fluent in a global language.

My Favorite Writer

お題「好きな作家」

My favorite writer is Fuyumi Ono(小野不由美).

Her masterpiece is "Shiki"(屍鬼).

It is a best seller.

 

 

She is famous as a horror writer.

However, she also writes fantasy.

I think "Ghost-Hunt"(ゴーストハント)& "The Twelve Kingdoms"(十二国記)are really good.

"Ghost-Hunt" is a horror novel, very scary.

 

ゴーストハント1 旧校舎怪談 (幽BOOKS)

The Twelve Kingdoms is fantasy.

It's the best novel I've read so far in my life.

 

月の影  影の海 (上) 十二国記 1 (新潮文庫)

I reserved a copy of Fuyumi Ono's new book!

I'm looking forward to reading it.

Natsuhiko Kyogoku(京極夏彦)is my second-favorite writer, but his works are so long - you have to be ready for that before you start reading them.
