The First Challenge ～Beauty Salon～

At last, I went to a beauty salon in U.S for the first time!
Before going there, I was worried because, of course there weren’t anyone who can speak Japanese...
So, I brought a picture as sample. (^^;)

As a result, I like a short new brown hair!
The stylist caught up my request because though she may be native, she looks like the Asian, and she is a fancy young lady.
My first challenge was successful!!

It's cute!

"A sheep in Mount Vernon"
















He bleated and hid under a container!

"Protect yourself at all points"

Washington Nationals

Last Saturday, I saw the Washington Nationals of a baseball game after I practiced golf.
I anticipated that something would happen because it was one of some premium games a month☆































That's my seat view!


















The stadium was crowded with spectators.





Wow!
I got a special cap for free as expected of Premium Game!!







Here we go!!


"Special beer"
We drank to exciting game!


















Usually??
There were four popular American presidents!?
It’s funny!! (^0^)

















That’s exciting on the bench!

















NATS was lost at the end.But I felt fervor of spectators and was thrilled!!!

Ladies Talk

After school, I met Japanese friends in Bethesda.
There are lots of open air cafes beside the street in this town like Paris, so Bethesda is one of my favorite towns!


















We found a fancy cafe CAFE DELUXE.
I wanna have dinner next time♪






"Here's to us!"

I felt like a Parisienne and ordered a cup of white wine. (*^^*)




We were relaxing and talking about shopping, travel, English, what we want to do and so on.
Actually we have a lot of things that we don’t know in expatriate life, so we need to have a communication.
Let’s talk together again! (^^)/

Apartment Event ～The second～

Recently, The second event of apartment was held, and many residents participated in the event.
It was called ”Summer Pool party”.
I think that it is for opening a pool. (^^)/


































In the evening, I listened to Mariachi music♪ and enjoyed scrumptious Spanish cuisine.















All right!!
we proceeded to have all the free Corona, and were excited at talking with neighbors. (*^^*)








A most talented tarot card reader came here...
A woman was looking into the future with her.

Everything was interesting!
I had a fantastic time!!

Golf

I started golf last week!

I will practice it in the driving range because I'm beginner. (＾＾;)

I went to Falls Road Golf Course where it takes 20 minutes by car from my house.


















The range is a part of the golf course, so it’s so spacious!
I felt comfortable and enjoyed though I wasn’t good at golf.

On the way home, I bought a cap and glove!
I keep practicing golf!! (**)/

Special Lesson

I’m lucky! My language school teacher offered me the opportunity to learn English .
Meanwhile, my tutor is an American woman who is going to teach English in Japan next year. And also I offer the opprtunity to practice for her as well as she does. That is our mutual advantage.

The lesson is two hours a week, and this is first time that I had a long conversation with Native.

Though I was nervous before I meet her, I had fun because she is very cute, gentle, and interesting!

Actually, I wanna learn many things about U.S, and I want her to know many things about Japan.

I look forward to meeting her next time!!

By the way, it’s difficult to speak what I think in English. I need to memorize as many English words as possible.

I wanna speak English well! (*^^*)

I lave NY! ～Day3～

On the final day, it was rainy day in the morning, but all right!! We had a plan to go to a museum. It’s MOMA! !

We had breakfast at the cafe"2" in the MOMA.

"It's a stylish cafe!"








I ordered a cheese panini.
It tastes good! I liked it!









At last, I start to see there. (^0^)/

















Le Corbusier is one of my favorite architect.
This is his works.







There was a lot of my line. I was excited!!



















MOMA became one of my favorite museum☆(^-^)



















Finally, we went to the Japanese restaurant Ise.
I haven’t eaten a traditional Japanese ramen since I have come to U.S.
So, I wanted to eat it!!!

















I ordered a niboshi ramen.
It was just a Japanese ramen!
We were all choked up…





While this vacation, we could feel a real Japan in NY!!

I lave NY! ～Day2～

On the 2th day, we went shopping in Soho and 5th Avenue. There were some Japanese brand shops.














"S0ho"







“A BATHING APE” I want to new shoes, but there wasn’t my size. I’m unhappy. (;_;)







UNIQLO?!
There were lots of fancy people having a UNIQLO bag in Soho! I was surprise!!














"5th Avenue"













On 5th Avenue, I found out Abercrombie & Fitch!
It was crowded so much with many people.









Our favorite Japanese brand“UNDER COVER” appeared in display windows of Barneys New York!
We are glad!!




I found out ”GIORGIO FEDON” of gift that I got from Nao in 5th Avenue! It’s fancy!!
















At the night, I watched a musical Chicago!


















"In the theater "





That’s really something such as exciting dance, beautiful women and cool guy, a little funny story. Also, we were able to see the story because we have watched it on movie. It was amazing!!












On my way to the hotel, the Empire state Building was very beautiful!!!

I lave NY! ～Day1～

Last weekend, my husband and I spent three days in NYC. This city is one of my favorite places because there are many entertainments such as musical, jazz, and dance. Also, this city has a lot of arts and beautiful sights. That’s exciting, fashionable, and amazing!!! So, before I arrived there, I was concerned about this city because I have ever been in there 6 years ago before 911. But this city was still vibrant!!By the way, this time my theme is the Japanese culture in NYC. And I found various things. (^^)







First, this is Manhattan from Rockefeller Center.




















"Soaring skyscrapers"










Then we were shopping in Soho.
In the evening, I had dinner at Japanese style pub ”Kenka” in East Village, which was recommended by his fellow.

The pub was crowded with people of different countries.

There was many kinds of sake. That’s great!
Someone who isn’t the Japanese ordered a bottle of sake!
It was interesting!!

All right!! We wanted Japanese food!
We felt as if we were in Japan...



We made a Japanese traditional candy ”Watagashi”by ourselves and ate it free of charge.
It was fun♪

After dinner, we went to a café.
We had a comfortable time on the day!!
