I was impressed by an artcle which was in today's newspaper.
It is a story about a girl and Origami.
A free-toy counter was set up for children in a shelter in Tohoku.
A girl came to the counter and asked some Origami papers.
The volunteer gave her a pack of Origami.
Then, the girl opened the pack and took out about 10, the halh of the origami papers and
returned the pack to the volunteer,saying "These papers are for other children."
When the volunteer told her that they had prenty of Origammi and she could keep a whole pack
of origami,she smiled and skipped away with the pack.
I was happy to read this story, and wondered if I could do the same thing as the little girl did.
Could I share a toy or food in this devastating situation?
Actually, simillar stories are occuering in many shelters.
I suppose that the girl copied the good munner of her parents.
If a parent push other people in a line to get food or cloth in the shelter,
I am sure that the child of the person would do the same way.
I am proud of those considerate people in Tohoku and hope they get over this catastrophe.

As I work as a voluntier English interpreter at the city office,
I assist a lot of foreigners who come to the city office.
This couple of days, quite a lot of foreigners come to the office to
cancel their National Health Insurance because they are leaving Japan.
It is quite understandable that foreign nationalities would like to
go back to their coutry.
After the Great Tohoku earthquake and Tunami, tons of aftershocks, even worse, we have crisis
over the Fukushima NO.1 nuclear plant.
A Peruvian couple came to the city office to cancel their heath insurance policy.
The husband said that his wife was pregunant and pretty scared about the leaking radiation.
Although the government is telling us that the radiation lavels in Tokyo has not reached
the level which affects human health, many people are scared.
Some people in Tokyo rushed to grocery stores to bulk-buy food such us rice, water, canned food
and instant noodles.I was suprised to see the empty shelves on the TV news show.
Today, when I went to the nearest supermarket the first thing I checked was the milk shelf.
I was releafed to see almost full of milk cartons.
When I got closer, a note saying that "Only one milk carton per person"was posted.
That was why the shelf was almost full,otherwise the panicked people might have bought
unneccesary amount of milk until the shelf got empty.
I think it is really good to see the occupied shelf instead of empty one.
We Japanese are considerate people. When we think about the people in Tohoku who are suffering from the
earthquake and Tunami, now homeless and staying in shelters without heating,
why not avoid the unneccesarry bulk-buy?
今日、スーパーに出かけてまず、牛乳の棚を見ると充分たくさん並んでいてほっとしました。
テレビのニュースではからっぽの棚を写していたので。
でも、昨日の政府の会見で東京などでの買いだめは控えるように、
スーパー側も、売り切れとだけ書かないで、どうしてないのか、いつごろはいるのか、
詳しく書くように、との話があったおかげでか、
今日のスーパーでも、納豆の棚が空だったけど、ちゃんと「納豆製造工場が被災したため、
しばらく入荷できません」とかなにか、きちんと説明が書いてありました。
役所では、近日中に日本を出国するという外国人の方がいつもよりも数倍多く来ています。
そりゃそうだよねえ、異国の地で慣れない地震にみまわれ、余震もハンパなく来るし、
その上放射線が空気中に飛散すると聞いた日にゃあ国に帰りたくなるよねえ。。。。
９．１１のときニューヨークにいたからそういう気持ちわかります。
でも、ここ自分の国だから、離れても行くとこないもんねえ。。

We are fine.
I feel deep sympathy to the people who are suffering from the earthquake.
Great earthquake and devastating Tunami hit the Tohoku region(Northern part of Japan).
In Tokyo area, fortunately we have power,water and gas.
Although we feel small shaking time to time, we are all fine.

When the first Denny's restaurant opend in Yoga Tokyo in 1980's,
it was a hottest spot for Japanese young couples.
We waited in a long queue patiently to get seats.
Now Denny's offers full variety of food from American dishes such as
hambergers and pancakes to Chinese noodles even Ramen noodles.
While I was living in New York, I enjoyed having breakfast, lunch, snack,
a cup of coffee,a piece of pie or dinner at Diners.
Guy Fieri's "Diners,Drive-ins',Dives" was one of my favorite
TV shows.
Unfortunately, I have not found any Diners like the one in the United States
here in Japan yet.
There are a lot of "Fami-resu" Family style restaurants in Japan like Gast(former Sky Lark),
Royal Host, Johnathun's e.t.c., but none of them are exactly the same as American Diners.
I miss the huge hambergers with tons of french flies,
incredible portion of New York Cheesecake with refill-free coffe.
学校行事の帰りにお母さんたちとデニーズに
寄るっていうことが新鮮でおもしろい。
ファミレスにはめったに行かないので余計に。
うどんも坦々麺もあるんだなー、今時のデニーズには。
アメリカでスキーにでかけたときに
帰りにひどい雪になってザンザカ降ってきてここらで休もうかとなって
高速道路を降りたところのＤＥＮＮＹ’Ｓに入り、
なんだー、デニスかーという感じで特別ありがたくもなかったけど
日本のデニーズはメニュー豊富できれいでドリンクバーを頼めば
いちいちウエイトレスさんが持って来てくれるし
マグロ丼とか和食まである・・・
１９７５年だか、家の近くに初めてファミレス・すかいらーくができたとき
家族で出かけてプリンアラモードを初めて食べた感動は忘れられないなー
あれからあれよあれよと言う間にファミレスは乱立・・・
メニューも節操がなくなってきたような・・・

Easter is 24th of April this year.
Although we do not have a custom to cerebrate Easter,
decorating Easter cookies is fun!
Why not decorate cookies instead of eggs this year?
Decorative sugar cookies need to be completely dry before you wrap them.
It will take a whole day to dry the cookies completely.
It is quite hard to pass by the kitchen counter where cookies are on,
because every time you see them, you cannot help keeping your eyes on them.
They are so adoreble!
今日は昨日の雨と違って晴れたので
見本用のイースタークッキーを製作しました。
きのうみたいに雨の日は、しかも前日のスキーで洗濯物がたくさん
あって部屋の中に干してるような日は、クッキーのアイシングの乾き具合が
とても悪くなるんです。
出来上がったクキーは１日乾かすけど、見かけるたびにじーっと見つめちゃう
かわいいなーと思って。
If you are planning a ski trip from Tokyo area,
GALA YUZAWA is your destination.
This ski area is loceted in Niigata prefecture and just 90minuets
bullet train ride from JR Tokyo station.
You do not even have enough time to enjoy the EKIBEN(lunch box)
on the train.
Once you get off the train and go through the ticket gate at GALA YUZAWA
station, you are already in the ski center building.
Go to the ski rental counter and change your cloth, then get on the gondola lift
to get to the middle of the mountain.
Thereis no hustle! They also have baby sitting service.
One more good news is that they have nice hot spring on the 3rd floor of the
same ski center building.
After you enjoy skiing, you could also enjoy the hot spring.
Have fun!
日帰りでガーラ湯沢へ行ってきました。
２０年もやってるそうなので知ってる人には今さら・・ですが
感動ものでした。。。。
新幹線の改札降りたらそこがスキーセンターで用具からウエアまで
借りられて、ゴンドラ乗り場もあってスキー場直結って、
そんなところ今まで聞いたこともありませんでしたー！なんて楽チンなんだー！
しかも三階にはガーラ湯沢温泉まで完備！
インターネットで事前に用具レンタルした人は三階にレンタルセンターがあり、
並ばずともすぐに借りられます。
いやー、びっくりした。（去年まで毎年行ってたサンダーリッジスキーエリアとえらい違い・・）
ゴンドラを降りたところは大きなレストラン＆ショップ＆託児所。
２階のレストランから新潟の山々を見ながらの食事は
メニューもたくさん、カレーやうどんや海鮮丼・・・・
（アメリカのスキーエリアではハンバーガーとピザとホットドッグしかなかったなあ・・・）
今年は雪も多く雪質もきしきし言って、すごくすべりやすく
楽しかった。温泉に入る時間がなかったのは残念だけど、また行きたいナーと思うスキー場でした。
