I have lived in the U.S. for about 8 years. The first plan was to stay there for only 3 months but time goes so fast!! Now, I have decided to go back to Japan but before going back, I'm taking a long vacation in BRAZIL!! アメリカに住み8年が経ちました。始めは3ヶ月の予定でしたが、月日が経つのは早いものです!今回、日本への帰国を決め、その前にブラジルでのロングバケーションを楽しんでいます!!!

Merry Christmas!!

It's still in the afternoon of the Christmas Eve over here. We will spend the night with Masami's host family!! So now we are preparing the food to bring!!
It's very hot in Recife and I can't believe it's already the end of the year....only a week left for this year....wow

It took a while, but I made a video with the view from Masami's apartment, the screen is very small in order to keep the quality better, so I'm not sure if you can feel this openess that I'm feeling, but please visit:

Happy Holidays!!!

Oh, by the way, I visited Recife Antigo (old Recife) the other day. I have been this area many times but this was the first time I took a picture of "the weird tower!!" It was build by the famous artist, Francisco Brennand, and this reef top is called "Francisco Brennand Sculpture Park"... but it is a bit toooooooo...weird, isn't it???

といっても、こちらはまだお昼なので、クリスマスイブをホストファミリーと過ごすので、持っていく料理の準備状態。
なんといっても、暑い。。。まったくクリスマス気分には慣れませんが。。。残すところ今年も後わずかですね。。。

マサミのアパートからの風景をビデオに撮りました!
あまりにも画面が小さく、この開放感を味わってもらうのはちょっとむりかも。。。でも、良かったら覗いてくださいませ!!

Happy Holiday!!!

おっと。。。こないだ、へシフェアンティーゴへ行ってきました。何度もこの辺りに入っているのだけれど、写真をとった事がなかったので。。。そこから見える、ちょっと異様な塔。。。有名なアーティストによって立てられたものらしいのだけれど。。。ちょっと不気味。。。(笑)
