Round 13 （第１３節） vs Olympic

Hello, boys and girls!!

I haven't diarized on the result of soccer in the blog bacause I had felt like writing just same things.
Anyway, we have just come to the halfway of the season, and we've been in 7th place in ladder at the moment. I think this is not bad result for us because our team got promoted from just this season, I mean this team had been at just below this league until last season.

We've maintained at good level through the season so far. Of course, we originally struggled in the beginning because almost players weren't sure if we could do well against a good team









どーも！！

　ちょっとサッカーについての更新をサボってましたね。なんか書いてること同じような気がしてて放置してました。

　とりあえず、リーグ戦も今日で半分を消化。ここまで結構色々あったけど、長かったように思う。たぶん長いと感じるのは自分の中でモヤモヤがあるからやと思うし、１００％充実したシーズンやと感じ方は全く逆やったのではないかな。

　チーム状態は、半分きて順位も中位と、シーズンの苦しい時に比べれば、だいぶ盛り返してきてるとは思う。けど個人的にはまだまだ課題は山積みやし、ここ数週間股関節痛に悩まされてます。　


　今日もリザーブ（２軍戦）の試合には出たけど、試合後はかなり痛みがひどく、とてもトップチームで闘える状態ではないかな。。。
　トップも今日は１－４で負けたし、怪我人や他の理由で欠場者が出てる状態でかなりのチャンス。
　アピールしたいのと、体が万全でないので、心身が完全に逆にいってる。すげぇもどかしいし、悔しい毎日やけど、一日一日やることをやって、毎日の積み重ねが、近いうちにいい方向に進んでくれると信じてる。むしろそう思い込むしかやってられん！！笑


　いやぁ、みなも苦しいこと辛いことあると思うし、その困難さも人それぞれやと思う。そんな周りの色んな支えなんかも受けて、どうにか乗り越えようともがくねんけど、最後の肝心なところは結局自分で打破しないといけないと自分は思ってる。
　
　
　ほんまやるしかない！！

My friend's house

Hi, mates.

I moved to my friend's house today. I wasn't originally intention to move out of previous house, but my friend's insist on asking me to move in his house.
So I ended up coming over here.

But I haven't regreted of what I moved to here because I know he is really kind of me and has a good personality. And other guy is as good as him.
I think they have a similar background since they were born in because they have a different nationality - one of the two guys is from Vietnam and the other guy is from China, but they grew up in Brisbane of Australia after move to here at birth.

So as a matter of cource, they can speak in English like native speakers
and they are better at speaking in English rather than their country's language borned.

And this area in my new house is really far from the center of city and work place, maybe everywhere we go, but they give me a lift when I go to work and school even soccer field I work out.
Maybe I won't be this house so long, but I wanna enjoy so much with my best friends in Australia until leave here.





　

　どもです。

　え～、今日引越しいたしました。友達の家へ。

　今まで、ずっと全然しらん人とシェアしてたけど、生まれて始めて友達の家に友達だけで住むということに！！
　この友達ってのは、こっちでサッカーを通して仲良くなったやつらで、一人はベトナム生まれで、もう一人は中国で誕生。
　
　けど、二人とも生後まもなくオーストラリアに来て、育ちはブリスベン。だからもちろん英語が母国語。
　彼らには、ずっとお世話になりっぱなしな上に、一緒に住むことにまでなってこれからの生活が楽しみではあります。


　場所はかなり都心から遠ざかってしまったけど、仕事場や練習場までは彼らが送ってくれるというおまけ付きやし、彼らはサッカーのことでおれにすごい期待してくれてる。
　いつも自信を与えてくれるし、励まされる。

　だからこそ余計にやらないとって思わされる。


　新しい生活が恐らく９月まで続きますが、さらに英語を磨いて、サッカーで結果を出して、一時帰国するであろう９月を笑顔で迎えれるように。

　一心不乱に全力投球です！！

17th of May

Hi, How's it going??

I have something to announce for everyone.

Just two years has just passed away since I came to Australia. we arrived at Brisbane airport with dream just two years ago from today. It's a kind of one of the memorial day in my life, however I've never gone back to Japan for last 2 years so I feel like going back a little.

Anyway I've scheduled to do it in September, but I'm still not sure if I can go back until I get a ticket for it.
Well, The third year has just started now in Australia. I don't know what's happening on my way go ahead.

I just wondering if I would play at somewhere else at this day of next year. I f I will, hopefully I wish I'll play at better stage than now.




　



　軽く更新！！

　
　ちょうど今日から２年前にこのオーストラリアに来ました！！あれからちょうど２年、その間日本には一度も帰ってないので、最近はちょっと帰りたい気持ちが大きくなってます。笑

　
　さぁ、３年目に突入します。

　一応９月には帰る予定にしてますが、まだ定かではないです。

　来年はどこでボールを蹴ってるだろうか、どこかで次のステージで活躍していたいですね。

　とりあえず自分の人生の中で、一番大きな冒険が始まった５月１７日。記念の日なので軽く更新しときました。


　　　　　　　　　　　　　ではでは！！

Fortitude Valley

Hi, how are you??

Have u ever been to a night club in Japan?? It doen't imply suspicious shops, so don't get me wrong!!
What I pointed is the night club which you can dance in there over drink. I know there are a lot of type of night club in Japan, especially Osaka I was born in is being run and crowded with many young people who come to be crazy or pick up girls or something.

But in Brisbane, the scale was much more different, I mean actually I had thought there are little entertaiments and recreation to enjoy in Australia compare to Japan, but I might have underestimated this issue before I visited there. I was astonished and amazed at this area in night time.

I felt like almost Australia young people came over to enjoy the time in fortitude Valley as soon as I arrived at there. 　
I've never seen such a many australian people except on weekend night there. It looked like most of night clubs in Valley was full of people.

I looked like they were a super-model because all girls looked so beautiful with dressing up with twinkling dress.

Moreover in Australia, we don't usually have to pay off the money when we get in a club except special events or parties. In Japan, we need some money to enter, 10～20 dollars on an average. And strange to say, we can see some Asian girls around there, but there are few asian boys. You know the reason why? Because White girls are too tall for asian boys, so if we try chasing a bronde girl, we should be ignored and turned away for sure unfortunately.
But if you are so lucky men, you may be able to take a chace to get it.

And one more thing to say, if you go to Valley, you have to be careful to be involved in a fight because most of vigorous youth are drunk, that's why it's easy to happen a fight between them.
If you find a someone's fight, you'd better keep away from there immediately otherwise you may get injure...




　


　
　オーストラリアには娯楽が少ないといいますが、ここだけは日本より数倍活気があります。そう、「Night Club」です！！
　＊といっても風俗系ではないので誤解なく。

　大学時代、友達とちょこちょこ行ってたけど、梅田や難波とは比ではない。東京はもっとすごいんかもしれんが。
　とりあえず、この街は中心街の一つ横の駅にあって、金曜、土曜の夜はブリスベン中の若者が集まってるといっても過言ではないぐらいの人だかり。
　ほんまに大阪の天神祭りみたいな感じの人だかりが全部外人とイメージしていただければ。（ちょっと大げさかも笑）

　みな女の子はボディコンのような派手な衣装着飾って、クラブに行っては踊り、飲んでって感じ。アジア系の女の子は結構いるけど、男はまぁおらんね。

　なぜかって？相手にされないから。笑

　こっちは日本と違って大抵は入場料は要りません。特別なイベントの時は要るみたいやけどその辺はいいとこかな。雰囲気もみな金髪スーパーモデルみたいなんばっかやから、中入ると最初は絶対圧倒されます。
　
　しかもクラブの数が半端ないほど多い。ここ一帯は昼間は閑静な中華街やねんけど、週末の夜は本当の姿を現します。
　ほんま何個あんのか知らんけど、ここ一帯で５０以上はあるかもしれん。

　日本から友達きてたときに連れて行ったらよかったよ、ミスター姫島！！笑

　とりあえずこの前久々に行ってきたんで記事にしてみました。


　いやぁしかし喧嘩とか、ちっさいいさこざ多かったなぁ、でもほんま楽しかったっす。


　これぞ、THE AUSTRALIA。　みなもこっちにきたら是非行ってみてください。

Working holiday Visa → Student Visa

Hi, mates!!

I've never written on the category of About Australia on this blog for a long time, so this time let me update on it.

Anyway, I was so busy updating the visa I have. I mean, I had made an arrangement for it. I couldn't be bothered it.

The reason why did I have to do it is my visa will be expired on 17th of this month. I've been here for nealy 2 years. I didn't think I would be still here when I just arrived on Brisbane airpot just two years ago.
I had had a working holiday visa for first one year and then I switched over to second working holiday visa from the second year. If u want to get a second holiday visa in Australia, you have to clear some conditions to be issued it. if u want a further detail, please visit the website of Australia embassy.

Today, I'll tell u how to change a visa from working holiday to Student visa I did. It was really much more complicated to go through the procedure than I expected anyway. I originally thought I wanted to do its all procedures by myself without help, but I luckily found a good agency of supporting about how to do it and I made a request there.
The agency I requested provides many good services for customers, for instance, when I visited there, they provided me a lot of information of school I hope and I could ask them some help for visa without commision.

At first, as a matter of course, I had to decide the school I went and deposited the tuition into the account. After that, you can be applied for student visa by internet nowadays and pay off the money for student visa, it's maybe about 500 dolllars, I reckon. Anyway I thought it was too expensive...

At second, you can be received a confirmation mail from Australian goverment in couple weeks and you need to join a insurance designated for the next one year. it costs you about 200 dollars then as soon as all done I said so far, a temporary student visa or bridging visa should be issued for you.

At last, you have to take a medical checking at designated place. it is taken place over two days, but honestry speaking, I think we can be done all examinations we do within just one day.
anyway it costs you maybe 210 dollars and as soon as you receive the result, just go and had it in immgration office. That's all.

I think it was 1000 dollars in all costs. I feel like I had been spending much time and money between my home and city.
Australi life always spend me time and money, and the much experiences like that I have, the much I learn.






どうも、結構ご無沙汰でした。

　ちょっと今回はカテゴリーも珍しく、オーストラリアのビザについて。

　ええ、もうすぐ自分もこっちにきて２年になります。そして９月まではビザが発行される予定なので、計約２年半こっちにいることになりますが、そのビザの移り変わりを簡単に。
　「First Working holiday visa → Second Working holiday visa → Student visa」

　これが一応自分の辿ってきた道です。First から second working holiday に変更（延長する）には条件があり、それは大使館のWEB SITEから確認してください。
　そして今回ずっと手続きしてたんが、second から student に変更する作業。


　はっきりいって、めっさめんどくさかった。

　最初は代理店通さずに自分でやろうと思ってたけど、あまりに時間かかりそうやったんで、学校案内とビザ手続きの手数料が無料なところを見つけて、頼みました。が、しかし！！
　やることめっさある。。

　まず、当たり前ですが、学生になるわけやから学校を探さないといけない。それで行きたい学校を決めてから始めて、ビザの作業に入ることになる。
　そして、授業料などの見積もりなどを詰めて、お金を入金。その後今はネット申請できるのでネットから必要項目を記入して、申請。金も入金。（これがめっさ高くて５万くらいする）

　さらに、そこからメールで仮ビザ証明書みたいなんが出るのに何週間かかかるんやけど、申請の時に学生保険にも一緒に加入しなダメで、それが２万くらいかな？
　
　ほんで、その仮証明をもらったら、今度は健康診断を指定の病院で受けないといけない。それも１日やったらいいけど２日もいかなあかんくて、両日とも終わるのめっさ早いし、診察も疑わしいくらいあっさり終わる。笑　

　ほんまこれは１日に短縮できるあっさりさやと思いますわ。笑

　そしてこれにも金かかってこれも２万ちょいやったかな。

　んで、その診断結果を次は移民局に持っていって、やっとすべての申請作業が終了。


　ほんまに何回中心街と家往復したことか。かかった費用も１０万くらい。ビザ申請でこれは高すぎでしょ、いくらなんでも。

　ほんまに海外生活は何をするにも金と時間を要する。それを改めて実感した今回の出来事でした。

　　　　　　　　　　チャンチャン。
