１６・１２
リエさん一家とミバイオリン+ピアノニコンサートに行った。久々に生音楽を聴けなくて乾くなったような気がする
バイオリンの音は人間の声のようだ常に思う。演奏者の感情を明白に表さなければならないから、
どっちかというとやっぱり繊細なピアノが好き～
最後はメグミとタタル先生の写真を撮って、豚カツをご馳走してくれた（いつも有難うございました！）

１９－２７・１２

東京を大満喫！
でも、なんと都内で定番のような場所に出かけるより、ゲストハウスに籠もったほうが楽しかったと思う。
新宿と池袋が嫌い。わたしはショッピングに向いていないからなあ。

渋谷、川崎

last sat night i went to a party in shibuya (Shouta the shikai told me about it). seems that people knew each other thru mixi.

people are young, and nice. but it's quite unnatural for me to know people in this way, because after exchanging factual information with each other we wont keep contact in the future.

what concerns me is someone, a gaikokujin, was talking about his experience in dealing with japanese people becuase he has been residing in tokyo for 6 years. and he said, dont be too close with japanese people, they dont treat you as friends blah blah.

i was zutto thinking about it until Monday, すっごい気になる you know. then a friend called and i kind of brought it up in the convo, he was like 'おお間違ったよ, イチゴイチエと聞いたことがあるでしょう？...etc'　

確かに聞いたことがあるけど、でもかれはわたしの語学力を買いかぶってるみたい...anyway i feel better now

Sunday, visit yoshiko san's home office in kawasaki for the whole day

too comfortable as an office, and the house is playing ed gerhard's music?!

yoshiko-san prepared food for us:

creamy corn soup (with beans, ew)

various sandwiches

orange pepper, sour cream on papurika

we made the christmas cake and cookie from mujirushi package, decorate the tree (real tree), cut leaves from tree and hand-made the xmas ornament

at the same time i got 2 christmas presents...plus a bottle of 日本酒 .Yoshiko san said i can have it with Snail next week. i did not bring anything, so sorry...

高尾山、神田、御茶ノ水、六本木、渋谷

高尾山: it's raining on Sat, and not much momiji left -_-

anyway

i like hiking and in i've hiked once in switzerland with snail, that view is stunning

Ochanomizu: Oh WOW! so many musical instruments shop! i'm as excited as the first time when i saw so many made in japan FOOD in seiyu supermarket. 1 shop only sells violin, 1 shops only sells wind instruments. whole floor sells percussion. whole shop is full of books about instrument playing/magazine.

if nz is boring for me, i can start learning guitar and occupy myself with it - not bored/lonely, no more! that's what suddenly comes to my mind when i was alone in Yasu's house playing around with his broken string guitar.

my idol ashin said, the sound of guitar comes from a seed and is amplified - a seed grows to be a tree, and we cut the tree and use the wood to make various things. (he's just a guy with these kind of 浪漫的 thoughts)

after ochanomizu i went to roppongi as a pre-trip, to prepare snail's tokyo visit. fantastic architecture as a shopping mall - but nothing particularly exciting.

then then then, yatto Monday and i had dinner with isa and greg and their 'significant others'.

(Isa and I)

i'm not sure what will happen to the 3 parties this coming weekend. majiyabai, especially the Sun night one. i'm quite shocked after knowing that i'm only 3 degree away with ashin (sharon<->circus<->mayday), and also 3 degrees away from Khalil Fong, this time...the 6 degrees of separation theory is so true.

上野動物園、アイスホッケー、六義園

yesterday y-san was flying to shanghai (finally), and m-san has already left arrived in taiwan and started her exciting wahori life in taiwan.
it's much easier to say, oh i'm leaving coz studying abroad . but these 2 are on all by themeslves and have nearly nothing paving ahead yet.
i wish them good luck in wherever shanghai/hong kong/taiwan.

last night i went to rokugien:
http://www.tokyo-park.or.jp/park/format/info031.html

there is light up until 13 dec, so people can look at the momiji at night. I want to bring Snail to see it but he’s not here til 19th
anyway I like the garden and fallen leaves. The garden is quiet at night and it looks different in the dark, more ochitsuku, more odayaka. You can only see the star-shapes of momiji if there is no lamp under the trees. it’s so quiet that you can only hear the sound of water, and ~sala sala~ when the leaves are falling when there is wind. they play some traditional Japanese(Chinese?) music to match the mood of garden though. There is a green tea/okashi tuckshop there but it’s close at 6pm. The shopkeeper is nonbiri drinking matcha and looking at the view for a long time.

This reminds me of the small park near the hk office in lan kwai. Once I was reading some novels (Japanese novels...) in the park, and the cleaning man was sweeping away yellow fallen leaves every 30 mins.
Then I said to him, why don't you just leave it there? Isn’t it beautiful.
He said, no, we have to clear it.
… (ten ten ten)

Tomorrow trying to make it to takao mountain. I planned to go last week but suddenly made some new friends (super nice people) in the shared kitchen and we went to ueno park and saw ice hockey in dydo ice rink.
Ice hockey is such a kakkoii sports. cheering girls are cute (orz).
New friends futari: shouta is a funny guy, he is similar to my another friend Dickson (now the policeman) in hk – in the way they talk and think. as he’s learning singing I wonder if he’s a singer as brilliant as D.
Hiko is a guy who likes European movies, we are anti Hollywood together laa (哼, they produce mo liu movies)

日本語クラスの皆さんはどんのような週末を過ごしいましたか？
