I added a new pages.
It's about the CIRCUIT RUN in the last month, Fukushima.

と、イキナリ英語で書いてみる。
んー、昔はたまに英語で日記書いてた気もするんだけどな。
最近はメンドーで全然、だなぁー。
日本語で書くと確かに楽だけど、
その分長文になるから、結局必要な時間は同じなんだけどな。
So in this time, I decided to write today's diary in English.
When I was talking about Christmas custom with a friend in Thailand,
I found that there's big difference between Japan and Thailand at that day.
In Japan, Christmas is the day
when children get gifts from Santa, lovers have a sweet time.
But in Thailand, it's mainly for Christians only.
At that day, they(Christians) go to churches, but that's all in Thailand.
There's no special meanings for all the other people.
So, when I told her that Japanese children believes Santa gives them gifts
and their parents pretend to be Santa,
she took it(the custom) so interesting and childlike.
...
It was a little bit surprising for me
because I'd thought that every people in the world has the custom.
But Thailand is the country of Buddhism, so it can be natural.
In the countries of Christianity, maybe it's popular custom.
However then, Japan is the country of Christianity?
I'm afraid no.
Then why do we take Christmas so important?
I have no idea...
Well, when and how did we get the custom?
Maybe it gives us a kind of answer.
Does anyone know that? If you know, let me know, please.
日本の子どもはクリスマスの日の朝には、
サンタさんからのプレゼントがもらえる、って信じてる子が多い、
って言うのに驚かれたのは意外でした、ハイ。
仮にそういう風習がタイではポピュラーでなかったとしても、
そんな風習が外国にはある、って事位知ってそうだと思ったんだけどなぁ。
...
I wrote the sentences above without big difficulty.
And I think that my writing skill is not so poor anymore.
(Of course, I need to enrich my vocabulary more.)
I think it's thanks to the daily(?) English talking in ICQ.
However,,,, when I have chance to SPEAK English face to face,
almost all in my knowledge becomes unavailable...
It takes long long time to find appropriate way of expression.
Why? Why? Why?
Because I'm upset in face to face talking?
But I can't find that I'm so upset...
Because I have few chance to speak English face to face?
I can't deny that...
But I'm not rich enough to go abroad so often, to go to language school.
んー、この問題を克服するのは難しい。
…
でもま、こういう客観的な文(対話文ではなくて、ね)を書く機会は
そんなに多くないし、
それなりに練習になると思われるので、これからはたまに英語で書く方向で。
あ、ちなみにあの
「ミーティング寝飛ばし&謝罪メールに教授からのレスがもらえない…」な件の続報です。

メール、
送信ミスしてて先生の所まで届いていなかった模様デス。
