In Music Festival, many clubs which is funtioning music activities in Kumamoto Gakuen University play many kind of musical instrument. I belonged to jazz band club, so I wanted to see that event. They play musicals well as before. I met some club members after a long time. I took back on memories of the club with nostalgia.

Vacation plans

Vacation plans My summer vacation will come soon! I bought new motorcycle some days ago, and I am waiting for coming a motorcycle. I want to go many places where I have never been to by my new motorcycle. For example, Nichinan-coast, Ikitsuki-shima island, Akiyoshi-dai, Tsunosima and Shikoku karst, etc... I want to go places where I also have ever been to again. I have to do part time job hard. I don't have money, because I bought a motorcycle and I have to pay school money. I must make a lot of money. After all, I am looking forward to my summer vacation!

BR 1-11: The balloon

I read 'The Balloon' which is an illustrated book.
This is a story of one school. Children and Mrs. May who is teacher looked a hot air balloon. Mrs. May had a secret. It was 'want to go in a balloon'. One student whose name was Wilf knew it.
One day, the television went wrong. The photocopier went wrong, and the computer too. The school wanted money. Wilf had an idea for it. It was 'opening a lottery and sell lottery tickets'. First prize was a right to ride in a hot balloon!
Everyone bought tickets. Mrs. May bought many tickets.
A day of a lottery, Mrs. May got first prize! "Hooray" said Wilf. She went up in the balloon. Her dream came true! She looked down the town, and took a photograph.
After that, Mrs. May gave Wilf a present. It was a that picture. Wilf said "Thank you!".
I was impressed with this story. At the end, everyone became happy. Mrs. May could grant her dream, and the school could get money to buy teaching materials. Wilf is very nice boy and he did very very good job! His idea was wonderful, I think.

A memory of touring ~at Gokanosho and Itsuki vil~

Last November, I went to Gokanosho and Itsuki village to see colored leaves. Gokanosho is in Yatsushiro city. There is a legend about a defeated soldier who is fleeing the enemy of heike. The road to gokanosho is narrow and dirty. I don't want to go there by car, but some people who is not good at driving a car go there by car in autum...

First, I went to Gokanosho. Gokanosho has five villages, Momiki, Nitao, Hagi, Kureko and Sibaru. I went to many good places. For example, Momiki suspension bridge, Umenoki-todoro suspension bridge, Sendan-todoro fall etc... There is so beautiful colored leaves. I had lunch at Kureko. I ate shishi-niku udon. Shishi-niku is said "boar meat" in English. It was so delicious.

After that, I went to Itsuki village. There is a good michino-eki. We could drink tasty green tea free! I ate soba-manju there. It was delicious. I talked with other rider there. I had a good time there!

Gokanosho is said "the last unexplored regions in Kyushu". In fact, going Gokanosho is hard. However, I like there very much.

Hirao-dai is most famous karst in Kyushu. At karst, we can see limestone, a plairie and some limestone cave. Of course, they are in hirao-dai.

I left home before daybreak, because I was going to go to a kunsaki peninsula. I arrived hirao-dai at 9:00 a.m. No people was there. Only me. In other words, I could have hirao-dai all to myself! I saw many beautiful sights and senbutsu-limestone cave. They are so great! At senbutsu-limestone cave, I feel precious as if a exprorer!

After that, I went home. I wanted to kunisaki peninsula, but my left wrist became carpal tunnel syndrome. I could not drive a motorcycle more over then...

I introduce my motorcycle

This time I introduce my motorcycle. I often write about my mortorcycle in this web blog, so I think that I should introduce it.

The name of my mortorcycle is CBR125R. This is made by Thai Honda. I think that this mortorcycle is not popular, because I have never seen CBR125R expect mine.
The engine displacement is 125cc. Max power of engine is 13.2ps. Max speed is about 120km/h. The acceleration of 0km/h to 100km/h is about 14 second. In other words, my motorcycle is not quickly.
Incidentally, my CBR125 is a 2005 model and a new model was sale out in 2007. I think that 2007 model is cooler than 2005 model...

A most strong point is the pleasure of driving. When I ride this motorcycle, I can enjoy handling at curve. Another, this mortorcycle gets good mileage.

By the way, I can't run on high way by this mortorcycle. That is the reason why I can't be away out of Kyusyu. It is weak point of this mortorcycle for me.

I have had this mortorcycle since I was sixteen years old. I feel a strong attachment for my motorcycle, so I will not sell it. It is so precious for me.

My favorite places

I have two favorite plces. When I have disagreeable things or I am tired, I go there by my motorcycle. They are near my home.

One is a lookout point on Mt.Kinpo. When it is sunny, We can see Mt.Unzen and Shimabara Bay. I especially like evening, because we can see very beautiful setting sun. Nobody usually is here. I think that here is an excellent place not many people know. Moreover, there is a vending machine, so we can buy something to drink at there. I never go there without buying canned coffee.

Two is Misumi West harbor. When I can't sleep at night, I sometimes go there. We can see a nice bridge; this bridge is lit up at night, sea and mountain. At night, we can see very beautiful starlit sky. If we are lucky, we can see a shooting star. Of course, there are vending machines. I also drink canned coffee there. I think that canned coffee or a cigarette are indispensable for taking a break.

I ride my motorcycle almost everyday, but I sometimes drive a car too.
Of course, I like riding a motorcycle better than driving a car. However, I like drving a car too.

If you want to move confortable, car is better than motorcycle.
If you seek pleasure for movement, motorcycle is much better than car.

I am going to use well both car and motorcycle.

At the last, I went to Tawaryama-Toge Pass. There are a lot of cows. We can see Mt.Aso from south and many windmills. Here is very good place.
