Hey y’all! 

   Of course of summer vacation my boyfriend, Thad, came to Japan from Texas! I hadn’t seen him since I was home last December, so I was really excited to see him! Over the course of two weeks, him and I went to Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka. Obviously I took him to see all the sights such as Kiyomizu-dera, Dotonbori, Sakae, Shibuya and Harajuku. The best experience by far was having a private dinner at a chefs house in Tokyo. Thanks to AirBnB, we were able to arrange a five course meal with a chef that had worked in Ginza for over 10 years. All of the courses were absolutely amazing and the atmosphere was just perfect! 

   Overall, this much needed trip was truly one to remember. It was just really nice to share Japan with Thad.

See y’all in class!

先月末、予定がドドッと重なり、一日が終わるころにはぐったりして

なんだか気分まで落ち込んでいきそうになり…。

その時、ため息をついている私の横で運転をしていた友人が、

「虹、虹！でっかいねー！ヾ(*・∀・)/」と教えてくれました。

本当に大きくてきれいな虹で、写真に収まりきらなかったのが残念。

その友人と虹のおかげで気分もすっかり軽～くなってしまいました！

生徒のみなさんにも自分自身をハッピーにする小さないろいろ、

どんなことがあるのか聞いてみたいなと思っています。

In the states, going to the movies has many purposes, but the most common reason people go to the movies is for a date.Over the past few years, the movie industry in the US has been adapting and becoming more convenient for people to go Nowadays, some movie theaters doubles as a restaurant.Yes you read that correctly, some movies theaters are now trying to serve you dinner while you watch your movie.At these theaters you are also required to reserve your seats in advance too, which means you Can have that perfect seat without having to rush to the theater.For me, I enjoy going to these kinds of movie theaters because it is more convenient than doing both separately.Also the prices are a bit better than normal theaters.I’d much rather spend $ 10 on a burger with fries than spend $ 10 on a medium popcorn and drink.I ‘m not sure if there are theaters like this in japan or how common they are, but if you haven’t been to one then you should most definitely visit.

As always, till next time!

Last month I went to Korea on vacation. My friend and I wanted to relax somewhere outside of Seoul for a day so we drove to Gapyeong province, which is about one hour away. We visited a place called the Garden of Morning Calm. It has Korean, Western and Japanese style gardens in a huge compound in the mountains. A famous professor spent his life savings to open the garden after he retired. It really was beautiful and peaceful! Plus, the area is famous for dakkgalbi, which is a trendy food in Japan these days…
