雪の写真 Snow

もうすぐ春ですね～。

というわけで、なごりおしくも、雪の写真特集です。

今年は、結構スノーボードに行ったので、スキー場の写真が多いんですが。

The spring is coming!!

I put some pictures with snow.

I went snowboarding many times in this winter.

so,

most of pics were from the ski slope.

This is the Mt. Bandai which is the most biggest mountain in Fukushima.

↓おととしの冬の"ちいおり"の写真です。 ↓
ちょっと間、お世話になってました*＾＾*

福島じゃなくて、徳島・東祖谷です。

Next 3 photos were from "CHIIORI" where I worked for a while 2 years ago...

There was　IYA vally in TOKUSHIMA, though.

で、これは、家の庭です。↓
Next 3 photos are from my house.

I love to see snow flakes.

お気に入りをもう一枚。
２－Ｃと書きたかったと思うんですが。

AND
this one is also my favorite one which was from a school ground.
I think the students tried to write "2-C", but .... :)
cute.

スノボ snowboarding

I went to INAWASHIRO ski resort for snowboarding last Saturday.

It was a beatiful day and warm. you can feel taht the spring is just there.

However the snow condition was pretty bad, but you can still enjoy.

I will shaw you some pics.

We went to dinner and drink after that. I was bloody tired.

I needed the next day just for recovering...

the candle festival 絵ろうそく祭り in Wakamatsu

３日土曜日、突然、友達に誘われて、鶴ヶ城で開催されている「絵ろうそく祭り」
に行ってきました。

陶器や竹、空き缶で作られた灯篭の中に、会津の絵ろうそくがともされ、ろうそくの暖かい光の群れがいっぱい、お城を囲んでいました。

雪が、全然なかったので、残念でした。

雪の中に火が灯ると、神秘的なんだよね～。

I went to
the Candle Festival in Aizu Wakamatsu on Saturday, the 3rd of Feb.

Wakamatsu is a famous place. It has special candles that have paintings.

There were many different styles. Some were set in ceramic, some were in bamboo, and some were in empty cans that surrounded Tsuruga Castle.

If we had snow, it would be a more mystic atmosphere.

However, it was a warm night.

My friends were walking so fast.

so, I couldn't have enough time to take pictures...

OMIKUJI

5th of Jarnuary, I went to a chrine.

then, I pulled OMIKUJI .

It was DAIKICHI!!

You know, DAIKICHI means excellent luck.

I feel like some good things will happen to me this year.

I'm really excited !! :)

１月５日に、初詣に行きました。

テレビで、有名なあの人が、

神社でお参りするとき、

女の人は拍手しちゃいけないって言っていたので、

丁寧にお辞儀をして、

微々たるお賽銭をあげて、

お願い事して、

また二つお辞儀をして、

それから、

おみくじをひきました。

大吉でした！！

なんだか今年はいいことが起きる予感(＾＾)

　

Happy New Year!!

How was your new years？

We've already spent 3days in 2007!

I wish you a happy happy 2007 !!

あけましておめでとうございます。

２００７年！始まりました。
今年はどんな年になるかなぁ。楽しみ♪
今年は、仕事も遊びもがんばって、恋愛もして、お金ためて、旅行したいなぁ。

これを見てくれてたあなたにとっても２００７年がいい年になりますように。

Merry Christmas!!

How was your day today?

I had work at British Hills.

I performed on a piano at the restaurant.

They have christmas plans at the morment. so I played some chirstmas songs.

British Hills is a quite interesting place. If you be there, you can feel like to be in other country. (I should say it likes England. but I've never been there.)

My wish is to stay there. you can stay a gorgeous room if you pay for it. but it's a bit expencive for me...

Everything looks like British! (I think.) Except for people...

Many foriegners are working there. but I know, most of the staff are KIWIs or OZs. hehehe....

but still nice, though.

anyway, Merry Chirstmas!! everyone!!

And happy new year!!

Lets have good holidays!!

Love Keiko

Asakusa in Tokyo

I went to Tokyo to see my friend, Hana last weekend.

We went to Asakusa. Actually,it was my first time.

yeah, It was a intersting place.

先週末、東京に行ってきました。香川の友達、花ちゃんに会いに。

生れて初めて、浅草に行きました。

さすが、すっごく混んでました。

we ate a lot.

お寺めぐりというより、私たちの場合、食べ歩き♪

Senbei...(a rice cracker)
焼きたてのお煎餅。

Fried Manju..(a steamed (bean-jam) bun )

揚げまんじゅう。

Monaka　（a wafer cake ）　Usually, Monaka has red beens jam inside, but this one had ice cream!! mmm, yamm..

アイスクリームのもなか









Of course! If you go to Asakusa, you have to eat Monja!!

浅草といえば、もちろん、もんじゃ！！
ひょうたんという有名なもんじゃ屋さんで食べました。




But we did't eat them. They said "Mango", but we couldn' t believe that.
Look at that color! Where did the color from??

マンゴーって書いてあるけど、マンゴーってこんな色やったっけ？
さすがに、これは食べなかった・・・

We walked a lot. It was a goot littel trip for me.

See you soon, Hana!
