My PC has problems now. I can use it for 20 minites a day, then it will freeze. I took out all my photos to another HDD, but I couldn't take out songs from iTune. This week I spent a lot of time to fix it, but still bad. I want to write my blog that I haven't written yet. Now from my dad PC.

 

Anyway thanks for having fun time with me in 2006 and have a good New Year!!

I still have things I have to write here. About Jojo's birthday!

 

It was 9th December, very busy day. The day started at shell's place. Shell, Kyoko and I was planning to make a cake for the birthday girl Jojo. We went to super market to get cake stuff, and then started making it at the place that there was almost nothing for making a cake. Nice place. haha It was fun to think how to make a cake only with the stuff we had.

 

I had a lesson that day, so I left there and went to the school. I met Jojo, but I pretended that I didn't know what Shell and Kyoko was doing and I also pretended that I wouldn't go back to Shell's place after the class. Sorry!

 

I went back to the cake place. We finished it and then carried it to the restrant that we had a party for Jojo. It was nice place. Jo appeared, she looked very beautiful in her new clothes and new shoes. Her smile was good! I was happy to see it. Many her friends was there. She was a luck girl to have a lot of good friends. I wish she has good time next year. Happy birthday!

 I went to China for business trip again. I really wanted to go there again, but NOT in the end of the year!!! It was so busy season to do things for a coming year and have Christmas parties and year-end parties ( I had to organise one of them), and I also had plans to go to America in my winter holiday. It was enough for me to get excited, but another trip to abroad added. Just CRAZY!! I managed to do things and went for China on 18th December.

 It was a beautiful day in China. Last time it was always clouded, so the city seemed like not beautiful. This time I could see more beautiful scenery, it was nice. The work was same as last time. Cheinese staff remembered me well, so meetings and teaching went better than before.

 I will tell you about my new experiences in China.

 I ate turtles and sea snakes!! Japanese staff who worked at Chinese plant orderd it. I didn't know that. I just ate it because Chinese staff said it was good. The taste was not so bad. Turtles' meat was like gelatin and snakes' was like chicken. If someone didn't tell me, I couldn't realize it. At the restrant 'Gan bei! (cheers!)' started as usual. That welcome party was for me, so Chinese staff came one after another to drink with me. As you know we should drink fast if we say 'Gan bei' with someone in China. Finally I drank 10 glasses of beer!! I got so drunk! After I came back to my hotel, I felt asleep in a buthtub for half an hour or more...

  Next day one of Chinese staff invited me to have dinner at her apartment. She is a boss of a technical department and is same age as me. She lives at really nice apartment with her room mate. There were about 10 buildings and the place had a gate that some security gards there. Their room was also nice, it was like that we could see in a TV drama. They must be rich! One of our company's Chinese staff and the room mate's colleague was also there. ( The room mate woked at another company.) The dinner was delicious. We talked in mixd language with Japanese, Chinese and English. It was a nice international place.

 On another day I got on a public bus. I had heard from Japanese staff who worked at Chinese plant that they had never tried to get on a public bus because it was scary and couldn't find out how to get off. So when Chinese staff suggested taking a bus to go shopping, I was so scared. In the bus I was surprised at the seats. There was no confortable seat, just metal seats with no cushion. They said it was old type of public bus, but it was still used. The bus was getting crowded. I was scared, but it was lucky I looked like chinese. People didn't realize I was Japanese. It was because of my face and also because I am SMALL like Chinese!!! My small body worked well in China. haha

  I came back to Japan on 22th and got a mail said Jennifer came back to our school again. I got confused because we had her farewell party just a week before and I thought she went back to America. I didn’t know what happened but it was good news for me. I can have fun again with Jenny-chan!
