My enjoyable days 

Hello, I feel cold in the morning and night.

My friends held my birthday party this week. I and a friend’s birthday are close together.So we both celebrated at the same time.I thought it was a Halloween party but I got a surprise birthday party. I was very surprised but happy!

We ate a lot of food,it was delicious!For example I ate pizza,cakes,fried potatoes and fried chicken.Also I got a birthday present.It became wonderful day for me!

I went to walking and saw the autumn leaves with my family in Yahiko park .The weather was nice and I felt good!It was a little early for autumn leaves so I want to go there one more time.And I ate pumpkin gelato in “Regalo”,it was very nice taste.If you go to Yahiko,please go and try it!  

                        

These days I cannot choose my clothes that match autumn season.So I want to buy a warm jacket and fluffy pajama.Morning and evening are cold,I am careful not to catch a cold in the winter.

Thank you for reading my blog!

1st Personal reflection 

 The other day I am interested in local activities from Ms Shihori Burtz’s lecture and project.Today,declining birthlate and aging population and depopulation are viewed as problems in Japan.

  I learned three things by her.First she has ability to take action.I could see her actively trying out things she interested in.I think it was cool to see her choosing to live a life with no regrets.She also actively made opportunities with the media.She did what she wants to do to make her dreams come true.Second,she has ability to research.I was surprised that she visited more than 50 religions when she looked for a place to more to.She is amazing explorer tokamachi carefully to deepen local understanding. That is why, she produced the trail running invent which is popular with a lot of people in the world .Thirdly,she values opportunity to communication with local people.Recently our region connects is fading.So is is important to keeping local communities alive. I feel that she is energetic when she talks with local people.

  Next,I think Niigata prefecture is not good at appealing.In group activities,I would like to communicate the hidden charms of Niigata and interact with local editors and children.It is famous for rice,snow,food and japanese alcohol.I want to be active using SNS because it is able to send messages to people all over the world.Also she connects environment conservation activities so I think that it is good to conduct with garbage picking volunteers activities. 

  In addition,I want to live a free life with no regrets like her.Now I am a university student ,I have most time in my life.So, I want to worry a lot and master what I like.I went to study tour in Cambodia during this summer and interested in overseas rice cultivation.So, I want to start by gaining knowledge about importing and exporting rice. 

  I am glad to hear lecture rooted in the region.

 My favorite season!

Hello everyone!

My favorite season is autumn. I have a few reasons.So, I write  feeling happy in autumn because I was busy working part time job this weekend.

First,when I smelled the scent of the osmanthus while walking.The smell makes me happy and my favorite flower is it! The language of the flower is modesty.Please try find it while warming.

Second,autumn clothes are very cute.When I look around clothes store I want to everything autumn items.I like fluffy fabric and brown clothes.But autumn is very short so I want to wear it before it gets cold in Niigata.

Thirdly,the taste of autumn is very delicious.A lot of shops are holding autumn fairs.There are many temptation for me.For example,sweet potatoes,chestnuts,pumpkin,pears and fig!Also,the dinner menu is the most delicious and my mother cooks using these ingredients.

Fourth,the sky is clear and the stars is beautiful in autumn.I come back my home looking at the night sky.My heart is clam and feel at ease during the cold season.I’m looking forward to seeing the stars in this winter.

Please enjoy your autumn time!Thank you for reading my blog.
