The windy city!

I went to Chicago a trip of four days and three nights from October 17 to the 20. Our university breaks up for the fall on the a week. My host mother’s Debbie was made a plan  during the fall beak for Karen, Ayano and me. But, Debbie have to go Italy for job with Philip. For that reason, we went to Chicago with Emma and Ramin.  They are one of Debbie’s acquaintance and they are trusted by Debbie. Early October 17 morning, we got up at 6:00 am. It was still dark at 6:00 in the morning. Then we took a megabus to Chicago. The megabus is a double-deck bus and we got on upstairs. That is a matter of course. To tell the truth, a seat was uncomfortable to sit on, because it was so hard and tiny. When I arrived at Chicago my buttocks hurts.Which isn’t  surprising, it took about five hours to arrive at Chicago. 

We joined a “ Hop on Hop off” tour. It is great if you don’t know a city very well. Have 14 stops throughout the city. We bought a three day pass for a doubledecker and trolley company for about 35 dollars each. Chicago is called “the windy city”. I was surprised because Chicago was so cold. The wind was blowing so hard that I can hardly walk against it. I think we may freeze to death. 

We had a Chicago style pizza. It was so good-tasting. Chicago style pizza is so deep,compared with St.Louis style pizza. We order the cheese pizza. It is soft and strong cheese and the gooey strings of cheese made the pizza. The taste of that cheese is such that even a Japanese will not be reluctant to eat it.　

Chicago style pizza!

I think Chicago has symbolic of two bronze statue. One of statue is “ the Bean”. There is Millennium Park. “The Bean” is crowded with tourists. Most of the tourist who was  the chinese. The Bean is a so big silver bean. It is funny. Next statue is Marilyn Monroe. Do you know Marilyn Monroe? The statue express one scene from a movie. I don’t know the movie name. The scene is the wind blew up the Marilyn Monroe’s skirt and revealed her underpants. She put on underpants! I couldn’t look straight at her underpants, because I felt somewhat ashamed. Can you look straight it?

 I had a great time in the Chicago.
But, if I can go to the Chicago again,I will go to there in summer.

I don’t like the cold!

Challenge, challenge and challenge.

Life is a journey. 

I’m staying in U.S.A for study abroad. This journey is a challenge for me, because It is the unknown world.　Have you challenged the unknown world? I have been living for 19 years.　In a span of 19 years has a big challenge a number of times. First challenge is perform a play on the stage. In the past, I lacked confidence in myself. I always lived from day to day to avoid embarrassment. I wonted to change myself. The challenge was changed my life. Why? I gain confidence. The theater is set aside personal feelings. Every time, they are mind on my role. Be under the glare of the spotlight,　talk to the audience from the stage. It is so scary, but so fun.


 Second challenge is this journey. Recently, I feel a bit down. I can’t understand English. How vexing! As s matter of fact, I wont to talk more in a class. But, I can’t it. My feel is irritating. Now, I feel strongly the necessity of knowledge of foreign languages.Surrounded by highly talented people, I was painfully made aware of my lack of ability. But I think this is a capital chance to emotional growth and develop as person. I will do my best. 


I think it is hard for us rise to a challenge. That’s what we all have to live hard for. I want to do a rosy life. 

Let’s enjoy the challenge and journey!
