Travel to Kagoshima from 12/19~20

I have traveled to Kagoshima with my friends for two days. Akuka, Akane, Eri, Riho are my friends who played volleyball together when I was small. We gethered at Kamikumamoto station at 11;00. Then we went to Kagoshima by car and moved on a superhighway.

It took about 2hours to go to Kagoshima and we enjoyed driving. I like driving on a superhighway because there are some rest stations on the way of a superhighway. There are many delicious local food in rest station. We droped in rest station two times. There were many food which were rare. We were excited and bought many foods.

When I dropped in rest station at the first time, I bought syouronpou which are sold most of rest station and popular by many people. I like syoronpou and I always buy syoronpou when I dropped in rest station. I also bought tenpura in cheese and norimochi. Norimochi is famous for Kagoshima, and it's sauce is very much with mochi and nori. What is more, norimochi is cheap, it is only 80 yen. If you go to Kagoshima's rest station, please buy norimochi!!

When I dropped in rest station second time, I bought a soft ice cream which taste is a sweet potato. If I go to Kagoshima, I decided to eat a soft ice cream which taste is a sweet potato. Sweet potatoes are special product of Kagoshima, so there are soft ice cream which taste is a sweet potato in Kagoshima. I can't easily eat a soft cream which taste is a sweet potato in Kumamoto. When I found a soft ice cream which taste is a sweet potato in Kagoshima's rest station, I was excited and bought it soon. It is delicious, I was satisfied that I came to Kagoshima.

When we arrived at Kagoshima, we got lost. We didn't know where we were and where the hotel which we stay at an inn, so we went to the shrine and asked a man. To my surprise, the hotel is near the shrine. We could found the hotel from the shrine. It took 1 minutes to go to the hotel from the shrine. We were laughed at it.

We arrived hotel at 6;00. When we went in the room, we felt relieved. We drunk a cup of tea. We talked for a short while. Then we were hungry, so we went to eat a dinner. A dinner is Japanese food and looks delicious. We were excited. There were noted product in dinner. Kurobuta, Youkan which taste is sweet, jidori and so on. I thought Kagoshima's taste of food is sweeter than Kumamoto. Kagoshima's syouyu is sweet. We enjoyed dinner. It was good experience.

When we return to our room, two womans were putting a sheet over the futon. We said "Thanks" And two womans said to us "Where did you come from?" We said "We came from Kumamoto," Two womans were surprised and said "Oh really? Your dialect was different from us," I said "Yes, I felt strange because many people's pronunciation is different from me. Did you notice?," A woman said "Yes, of cause. Don't worry. I think your dialect is good," I said "Thank you, I think Kagoshima's dislect is different from Kumamoto but good, too. It is interesting." Then we talked about the difference between Kagoshima and Kumamoto. And we asked a noted place of Kagoshima. They taught us kindly. I could know about Kagoshima, and they could know about Kumamoto, too. It was interesting.

The hotel where we stay is near downtown in Kagoshima. I said "I want to go and see downtown in Kagoshima," Asuka and Akane said "That's a good idea. I want to go to downtown, too," Eri and Riho said "I was tired and want to take a rest. I will stay here," I and Asuka and Akane go to downtown in Kagoshima. Downtown in Kagoshima is smaller than that of Kumamoto and cute. We were excited and enjoyed shopping and sightseeing. I wanted to play at downtown but we had to return to hotel until 11:00 because a hot spring in hotel was be going to close at 11;00 so we returned to hotel at 9;00. When we returned to hotel, we asked some young person where is a convenience store near. Young person taught us kindly, and they said "Where did you came?" I said "We came from Kumamoto," They said "Really? What to do?" I said "To travell" They said "Wow! Please speak something in dialect of Kumamoto," I said "Of cause" and spoke in dealect of Kumamoto, but they didn't understand what I said well and said "It is hard foe me to understand what you said, Kumamoto dialect is deffrent from dialect of Kagoshima but interesting," Isaid "I think so too." We were laughed at it.

After we returned to hotel, Eri and Riho had already taken a hot spring bath and weared Jpanese cloth. We said "Oh cute! Japanese cloth is much you! I want to wear it soon" They said "Thanks, It was good hot spring, You will be relax and recover from the fatigue of your journey," We went to a hot spring soon. The hot spring is not big, but we could be relax and recover from the fatigue of jouney. We enjoyed talking with taking a hot spring bath. After we took a hot spring bath, we went to a convenience store to buy sweets and drinks with a Japanese clothes. It was a cold day and Japanese cloth is thin so we were very cold. Naturally enough, when we arrived a convenience store, a shop assistant looks be surprised. He was glancing us.

After we returned to hotel, we started to party. We ate and drunk a lot. We talked a lot. About when we were child and played volleyball together, our supervisor, our boyfriend, our future and so on. It was interesting. I had a good friends. They are my friends and teammate forever. Then we went to bed at 2;00.

Today, it was a hard schedule so I was tired but interesting. I met many people and experienced many things I have never done and ate many foods I have never eaten. I had a good time and good memories.

Learning languages are not easy. I have learned two languages so far. One is English. The other is French. I want to write about my learning language stories.

Before I studied English in elementary school, I didn’t even know the alphabet. I learned alphabet with singing alphabet’s music. I like singing alphabet’s music. So I could learn the alphabet soon. Then I studied a basic grammar and some words. The more I study English, the more I was interested in English. I took English licensing examination two times, when I was a junior high school student, I am qualified third grade of English license.

Today, I went for a drive with my friends. We want to see colored leaves, so we went to Takachiho which is famous for the view of colored leaves in Miyazaki.

At first, we bought lunch in Macdnald's drive through. There were too many people to buy lunch smoothly. My friends worked at Macdnald. She was looks busy, I admired her. Then I bought Macpork and a apple pie and a cup of tie. Macdnald is delicious and reasonable, so I often go to Macdnald. I always eat Macpork and think Macpork is the best humburgar. What Macdnald's humburger do you like? Do you often go to Macdnald?

Then we enjoyed talking with eating lunch in my friend's car. When we go to Takachiho, we found "Tsujunkyo". I went to "Tsujunkyo" when I was a 9 years old. "Tsujunkyo" is a big dam it was made from many stones. Taujunkyo was built old years ago and wasn't used now. I wanted to see Tsujunkyo again, so I said "I want to go to Tsujunkyo after a long time, Let's go" Hikari and Ayaka said "I have gone to Tsujunkyo befor, too. I want to go there. Let's go!" Then we went to Tsujunkyo. I and Ayaka bought a sweet potato baked in hot pebbles. It is cold day, so a sweet potato baked in hot pebbles felt very hot and delicious. But the sweet potato which we bought was too big to eat it all soon. We walked to Tsujunkyo with eating a sweet potato baked in hot pebbles. Tsujinkyo was so big and old. I felt Tsujunkyo was smaller than before. I felt long Japanese history from Tsujunkyo. We climbed onto Taujunkyo. It was so high that we were excited and could not see around. There are no fence around Tsujunkyo, so it was very dengerous. We got a thrill from Tsujunkyo. Reft side of this post is a picture which I took from the top of Tsjunkyo. I regret that I can't teach you this thrill. If you are interested in Tsujunkyo, please click this link which have information about Tsujunkyo.

We went to Takachiho after we enjoyed seeing Tsjunkyo. It took about 30 minutes to go to Takachiho from Tsujunkyo. When we arrived at Takachiho, there were many people. There was a big waterfall in Takachiho and people can row a boat under the waterfall by paying money. Many couples rowed a boat and looks happy. We wanted to row a boat, but it was a cold day, so we didn't row a boat. If we go to Takachiho in a hot day again, we will row a boat! There were big nature and the air was clear. We breathed fresh air and felt fresh. We enjoyed seeing a view with walking. We found some rice cake which was grilled by a charcoal fire. I like a rice cake and it looked dericious, so we bought a rice cake. The rice cake was fixed on a skewer and put miso on rice cake! Smell is also good. We wait a rice cake finished baking. I talked a worman who baked a rice cake. I said "Do you buy this rice cake in summer, too?" She said "No, I buy this rice cake only in winter, but I buy other food in summer." I said "Oh! really? How food do you buy in summer?" She said "It is difficult to explain, but it is delisious and famous by many people, too." I said "I want to eat it! I will come here in winter again and eat it!" Then a rice cake have been baked and we ate it with seeing a view of colored leaves. It was delicious. I have never eaten such a rice cake. If you go to Takachiho, please eat it!

After eating a rice cake, we went to a souvenir shop. There were many souvenir goods of a local area in the souvenir shop. Takachiho is in Miyazaki, so there were mango chips and chicken and Higashikokubaru prefecture goods in the shop. Every goods were no in Kumamoto. We bought smoked chicken in the shop. It looks delicious and reasonable. Then we ate it in my friend's car. I don't like a smoked chicken because a smoked chicken was hard. I can good examination because chicken was famous as a noted product.

Then we went to Kumamoto. When we arrived at Kumamoto, we were hangry, so we went to Sushiich, but there were too many people to eat soon. We went to Cocoichi next time. We ate curry and rice.

To Kill a Mockingbird

I watched To Kill a Mockingbird in a class. I haven't known Kill a Mockingbird before then. I heard To Kill a Mockingbird is one of a good literary work in America. To Kill a Mockingbird is read as a textbook, so most of Americans know it.

To Kill a Mockingbird is written about racial discrimination which have done the South. I knew there are racial discrimination in America, but I didn't know how it is. So I was shocked by the movie, When I watched To Kill a Mockingbird. I thought this is a deep story. I could know about racial discrimination a little. But I will not be able to understand about all of racial discrimination forever. The important thing is a feelings we want to understand or know racial discrimination and we must not do like that forever.

We can know not only racial discrimination but also simple life of the South. This movie has the flavor of the South and interesting.

Please watch To Kill a Mockingbird. This is a movie which we should watch at least a once time in a lifetime.
