inner tube

It was strange that there was an inner tube in the river.
I wonder who had put air into it despite winter.
Since its design was cute, it might be a goods for children.
Actually, I saw some young people swim in the river in January.
Even though it was a relatively warm day for January, I was worried they might catch a cold.
The inner tube was between two blocks.
Although it was likely to flow away easily, I saw it a few days later.
It is probably being placed firmly.
There was a trash along with the inner tube.
The river current might carry things that are floating in the river to this place.
I'm going to see it again next time.
It's worth thinking about the river current.

crazy about Pollock

When I was still small, I read a novel written by Shiina Makoto.
The novel, "Gaku Monogatari" struck me.
It was so interesting that I became interested in reading.
I did read lots of books for my age.
As a result I could get high scores on the Japanese language exams, though I got fed up with studying any subjects at last.
I even thought about leaving school.
Fortunately, I made friends and I changed my mind.
I mean thanks to my friends I decided not to leave school.

I've been reading books for a long time.
Nowadays I read not only books written in Japanese but also books written in English.
The other day, I went to a city library to borrow some books.
Since I had read lots of books, I often have trouble deciding what to borrow.
Abruptly, a great idea occurred to me.
I've forgotten all about the author named J.C.Pollock.
I've read one of his works.
I was very excited with that.
Although it wasn't popular at that time, I saw the title by chance.
An Japanese author Konno Bin mentioned the Pollock's novel.
I was very pleased to find the passage.
That's why I recalled J.C.Pollock.

In the end I borrowed the "Payback".
The story includes some graphic description and violence.
However, the strong veteran will defeat the cruel enemies.

tiger bun

Since this year is called "Toradoshi" ,there are many goods related to a tiger.
My family got me the bun which was branded a tiger.
I remember eating similar bun last year.
Although I can't remember completely, I could see other animal on it.
To tell the truth, at first, the bun didn't seem tasty.
However I found it delicious.
I was very pleased with it.
In addition to the taste, its design is attractive.
The lovable tiger will make people happy.

I heard it was made by famous snack company.
It is no wonder that the bun tastes nice.
I'll eat same product but there will be different animal on it.
I'm looking forward to have it again.

bring back memories

I like a rural station as well as a train.
Its calm and quiet atmosphere attract me.




When I got to the station, I was a little disappointed.
Because there wasn't a green trim which used to be in front of the station.
I planned to photograph it and show you on this blog.
I wonder if it had been replaced when I last visited here.
I can't recall clearly.

I was in my twenties when I and and my friend took part in a flea market.
Surprisingly, it took place in a train.
The flea market called "Denshade Fulima" was not popular at that time.
The "Denshade Fulima" means " a flea market in a train.
There were relatively a few people at the market.
I was interested in the unusual usage of a train and a platform.

However, the number of customers turned out to be dependent on the passengers.
We couldn't make much money.

I'm keeping touch with him even now.

monorail

I went to the venue of an exam by monorail.
I got on it at the Takahatafudo Station.
According to a map, examinees should get off at the nearby station.
I obeyed the indication because most of universities are so large that I would get lost.
I didn't want to be late for the test.

At first, I was upset with the indication.
Because the venue was not located in an area which I wanted to take part in.
I'm sure that the institution who is conducting Eiken exams isn't very nice.

Nevertheless, to tell the truth, I was looking forward to getting on the monorail.
I usually go to urban areas such as Shibuya or Yokohama.
It's boring to travel urban areas by train.
What I can see are nothing but buildings.
Moreover, the train is usually crowded.
Because of it, I don't like to go such places by train.

In contrast with that, traveling by train in rural area is pretty exciting.
This time I enjoyed beautiful landscape through the window of the running monorail.
