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!!

The trip of West Coast ~Las Vegas~

On the 3th day, we left to Las Vegas! In fact, I have been there 12 years ago.Also,I was surprised that this place was more modern than then!!
















In Las Vegas, we visited a lots of luxury hotels and we watched the musical”Mamma Mia!”, we played in the casino. And, of course I did lots of good shopping! Though I thought I need to have a lot of money if I have a fun time,it was enjoyable in our way! (^0^)☆

The trip of West Coast ~San Diego・Day2~

On the 2th day, we got together in a little late, because we spent a fun time until midnight yesterday. And then, we had brunch at the IN-N-OUT where is popular in West Coast. In fact, I haven’t seen this shop in D.C.



















The burger taste is so great! There are lots of vegetables, tomato and lettuce and so on. The sauce is dressing like Ranch.





After brunch, we played Kayaking in the La Jolla beach. I felt excited, because I haven’t tried ever! Though there were lots of waves, I could go to the offshore.

















There are many wild sea lion! They called!! I was able to watch them close.
















Though it was colder than I thought, I enjoyed so much this activity!
















And then, we did sightseeing around Coronado and so on by car.


















This is Hotel del Coronado where is popular as a luxury resort.





In the evening, we had dinner at “SUSHI OTA” where our friend was recommended. This sushi bar was very crowded with people of different countries. Maybe it seems that the sushi cooks are Japanese.






























A sushi plate I chose is 27$.


Our friend said the sushi of there was more delicious than it of Japan. Actually, I think so!! My stomach was filled with it and I was satisfied…

But I could eat dessert, so after dinner, we went to COLD STONE.


















Recently, this shop is very popular in Japan, but in San Diego, this shop wasn’t crowded.

It’s so sweet!!!




I had a wonderful time in San Diego. Dear friends, thanks so much!!

The trip of West Coast ~San Diego・Day1~

I returned to here! I traveled to West Coast from May 19 to May 24. Though I’m too tired because it’s a long trip for the first time since I have lived in US, I enjoyed this trip so much!


























My husband and I stayed in San Diego for 2 days. Our friend’s couple guided us there because they have lived for about 2years and they are familiar with the local area.

















We had lunch at the Mexican restaurant☆











The decor is a south style. I was thrilled!!


After lunch, we went to the San Diego Zoo. It seems this zoo is very popular in the world.




















In fact, this zoo is so wide, so we rode an aerial cableway and a double deck bus.











"From the aerial cableway"












"From the double deck bus"










"Two white bears frolicked underwater."













"A panda was while eating."












"A panda was having a break..."





After we enjoyed in the zoo, we went to “La Jolla Beach”.I was surprised at many wild seal on the beach!























"The face is very cute!!!"










And then we attended at the party.There were international people in the party.




















It was fan, because I found so many cool people. They were very clever and entertaining!


















After dinner, we went to the bar ”Azul".this bar is so fashionable and fancy!!























I had a cocktail while enjoying the fantastic night views in ocean terrace.
I was so happy...

It was such a productive day!!

The First Sickness

I am having a cold from Monday.
On last Monday, I came home from school earlier than as usual.
Because I came down with a disease and got 39 degrees Celsius fever for the first time in many years.
So, I was absent for 3days.
While I was coming down with a high fever, my neighbor brought fruit and healthy drink, moreover my husband’s fellows gave me medicine and nutrition. Also my husband cooked meals for me.
Thanks for their tenderness and support!!! I’m moved…(T_T)
I wanted to recover as soon as possible.
The reason why I need to recover from my cold soon is because we are going to travel to the West Coast tomorrow!
Today, I’m recovering, but I will rest at home..(-_-) zzz
