The National Art Center Tokyo and Tokyo Mid Town

I would like to share some photos that i took during golden week holiday in japan. Click the photo to get a larger view.

See the URL to get more information about The National Art Center, Tokyo. http://www.nact.jp/english/index.html - entrance fee is free. However, I couldn't enter because I visited this place around 6:00pm. The visiting time start at 10:00am and close at 5:30pm. We are late for 30 minutes so the guard didn't allow us to go inside as you can see from the photo. I was able to take one photo.

Below are the pictures that i took at Tokyo Mid Town. Go to this URL for more information - http://www.tokyo-midtown.com/en/about/index.html

We enjoyed shopping and having lunch there. My son had his first beer - "root beer". He told his friends that he drank "beer". He thought that "root beer" is one kind of beer.

As you can see from the photo, inside the Tokyo Mid Town there are many playgrounds. My son likes to climb this aluminum thing. Nearby, there are slide and swing too.

Entrance ceremony day of my son

7 April 2007 was an entrance ceremony day of elementary school of my son. All the new students gathered in the classroom at 8:30am. The ceremony started at 9:00am, and it ended with the group photograph time.
Each group photograph cost 1,000 yen. Expensive!!! 　Mahalnya... 　

Can you believe? There was homework though it was a first day.

Earthquake

One of my Mixi’s friend from Australia she is asking me about the earthquake in Japan. She is so worried about me when she heard about the earthquake in Peninsula of Noto. So I’m going to write about the earthquake in Japan today.

As I know that Japan is much more earthquake in the world. Earthquake is always happen in Tokyo too. I lived in Tokyo almost 10 years. I feel many time of earthquake in a year. I feel an earthquake with the body even if the epicenter is far away from Tokyo. I’m not afraid of earthquake because I had experienced with The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in year 1995 before. That time I was in my college’s dormitory. My bed is made of iron. Can you imagine how heavy is it? I’m slept on it. But it moved a lot. Of course, more than 6 thousand people had died in this big earthquake.

My friend is asking me “What do you always do in the first place when earthquake happen?”
First, I always hide under the table. Before, when the first earthquake gone, I will come out from the table and turn off main switch of the gas. But now I didn’t use gas for cooking so I will not worry about the fire anymore. The next step is open the main door of my house. Lucky, my main door is a Sensor door (keyless); I can use my remote control key to open it.

酒

　　Malaysians don't drink much alcohol especially female. However, Japanese likes to drink alcohol regardless of sex and age. By the way, the age limit for drinking liquor in Japan is over 20 years old.

I have never taste alcohol until coming to Japan. The first time I tried alcohol was the day before *** “Ping-Pong” match. I drank many glasses of Sour (alcohol) that is mix with tasty juice. Of course I didn’t notice that I get drunk and slept afterward.

I entered the ** *laboratory without knowing the term “drunk“, maybe in my dictionary there is no word “drunk”. The university students and the master students did unabashedly no matter how much they drank alcohol. I don’t know why I became sleepy soon after I drank alcohol. At least, I knew that I’m “drunk”. After that, I’m afraid of drinking alcohol and I avoided liquor since then.

Recently, many kind alcohol drinks has come to the market. According to some research, some alcohol is good for health and beauty. I envy people who can drink a lot of alcohol for long time. Therefore, I bought one bottle of alcohol the other day. I drink a little every night. I hope I can drink alcohol with my Japanese friends one day.
