Berlin


I'm back from Germany. That was a great trip as usual. This time, I went to Munich, Nuernberg and Berlin. These three places have its own tastes so I like all the places I visited, but the most intersting city among these three would be Berlin. I took a night train from Munich to Berlin. Munich still has lots of old building even though it is destroyed during the war more or less, so it is a historical city and I like it. When I arrived at Berlin in the moring, I found that Berlin is totaly different from Munich.


As everybody knows, Berlin was completely destroyed during the war and there are only a few buildings which survived the war. But there are lots of monuments and museums of the war and the holocaust which remind the people of the war. These locate quite in the center of the city so the people can easily see that, the wall of Berlin as well. These monuments tell a lot of stories, especially the diaries of the victims of holocaust was unforgettable.
Also, I could see the diffrence between East and West part of Berlin. I saw many new-looking building in the East part. Berlin is really interesting city and has lots of fun as well. I stayed at my German friends house and they took me out to the nice places where only the locals go. This was really good trip. I bought a piece of the Wall as my souvenir.
I'll write about another stories of this trip if Ihave time.
Have a good holiday! Cya!

Japan

に帰る日が近づいてます。そう、この間帰りの飛行機のチケット取りました。

一年間留学する人は一年オープンチケットをとってる人が多いみたいですが、僕は帰りのチケットは持ってませんでした。というのも、ロンドンから片道のチケットが安く手に入るという情報を耳に挟んでいたから。

London H.I.S.に電話してみたら
ロンドンー成田間が300ポンド(約69000円)でありました。
成田で国内線に乗り換えて帰ってくることも考えましたが、僕は関空なので時間、乗り継ぎ、疲労を考えてJALで帰ってくることにしました。
値段は400ポンド(約92000円)でした。行きの飛行機は9万くらいだったのでたして19万。まあ、一年の留学やったらこんなもんかと自分では納得しています。

2月の頭に帰ります。何か飛行機予約してから急に日本が近く見えてきました。
アイルランドも悪くないけど、やっぱり日本の連れ、食べ物、景色が恋しい。


とりえあず誰か居酒屋につれてってください。

week 12

This week is the last week for all the lectures. Then we have a christmas & new year break. In January, there is no lecture. We just have study period and exam period. so in some lectures, lecturers set the essys due in this week. I had some essays to write and I've done all of them today. so All I have to do this week is just to attend the lectures (actually I have some things to do for the essys which are due in January).

I haven't had anything special since I left Yamamori but am enjoying my life. Going out with my lads, playing football (there is no baseball in Ireland) and just relaxing. I'm going to go to Germnay before Christmas to visit my friends so that's gonna be the biggest event for me in December. Streets in Dublin are getting merrier and merrier as christmas is coming.

Today I got a letter from my grand mother. There was a letter and various colours of maple leaves in that. That made me miss Japan but I'll in japan in two months anyway so I'm okey.

Have a nice week ! see you!

Yamamori

とは、僕が働いていた日本レストランの名前です。11月いっぱいで辞めました、今後は勉強と遊びに集中することにします!
ここで俺なんかが働けたのは結構ラッキーが重なったおかげで、最初はいろいろ迷惑もかけたけどいろんなものを得た気がします。お金、まかない(これは大きかった)、経験、人とのつながりなどなど、、、

約8ヶ月働いたけど、ここで働いて正解やと思った。ここは、週末は予約しないと席がとれないくらいのレストランでかなり忙しめなとこってわかっとったけど、その中で仕事を要領よくこなす勉強が出来たと思う。実際忙しかったけど、一緒に働いた人らはみんな良い人で、サボり方をみんな良くわかっていた。

お客さんとの会話や、仕事中のスタッフとのやりとり、電話でのやりとりとか自分の英語的にも仕事はプラスになったと思う。でも、このブログを書いていて思うのは自分の日本語の文章構成力のなさ。
あんま多くは書かんけど、実際めっちゃ感謝の気持ちで一杯です。ありがとうYamamori!

写真は関係ないけど、12月のダブリン。
