Hi Friends!
SO SO Long time no see!

recently i have received an e-mail from here'in touch cafe', but I couldn't access here...Ive forgetten the password!

now Im posting this message but i don know if this will can be uploaded;;

Im working for an insurance campany.
I dont use English any more in my life..
I miss the days when I was talking to Ken and classmates in English!!!
I keep trying to study English by going to English conversation school, but its only once in a week, only 1 hour.

how have you been,Ken/Mio and Yuko?^^☆

in the order of appearing..

①priceless：（値段をつけられないほど）きわめて貴重な
②in awe：畏敬の念を抱いて、畏れて
③disappeared：消える
④getting the hang of it：コツをつかむ
⑤diverse：多様な
⑥prairies and springs：草原や泉？
⑦give a hand：手伝う

Every year in my summer vacation, I have had a lot of ①priceless experience.
As a this year's memory of summer vacation, I still can not forget that I was watching Nagaoka fire displays ②in awe.
Big, big fireworks suddenly appeared in the dark sky and ③disappeared immidiately.
I tried to take pictures of them many times, but it was more difficult than I expected.

In Ken's diary on September14, he asked us to find the Vocablary and phrases hidden in the text.
So I tried to find the words. It was bit difficult but I could find them.

Then I tried to know the meanings of each words. However, no matter how many times I consulted with many kinds of dictionary, I was not able to get the meaning of "prairies and springs".
Now I guess it means just "prairies and springs". "Praisies" as in "Little House on the Prairie ", "springs" as in "hot springs"...is this correct??

Yesterday one of my friend said to me, " I am thinking of visiting Miyazaki. Do you know any good place to visit there?"

Of course! I am from Miyazaki. I recommended some place to him.
And I came with the idea that I upload fabulous Miyazaki photos here, so I just do.

Taiko no tatsujin!

Purikura: it says "we love our hometown!"

In my hometown Miyazaki, I met some of my old friends. It was August 10th.

Many of them are not in Miyazaki, they are working or going to school around Tokyo.
However, some are back in Miyazaki after they finished university.

This day, I had lunch with them, went to karaoke, and took purikura!^^

Jump!

As soon as we arrived, we rushed to the dolphin show!

It seemed to me that they are really intelligent and love people.
So cute ...!

road to Kagoshima

I went to Kagoshima with my boyfriend!

We went to only Kagoshima aquarium because we did not have much time.
