Shanghai, Japan & Strawberries
Good Morning! ヾ(゜∇゜●)ノ″
Good Morning in many, many languages.
Thank you for always checking out my diary.
So sorry for the long passages all the time.
And then...
Thank you so much for pointing it out
It's because I have been working part time for so long...
Somehow I started using it so commonly subconsciously
[になります…]
[Translator note: the grammar "will become" - in a polite form]
A 37 year old who can't even use Japanese properly.
There are so many foreign languages I want to know about but,
Firstly, I can't even speak Japanese properly...
I think I have learnt.
If there is anything that you guys found, please feel free to point it out to me.
Thank you very much.
This week is Monday`s diary.
You guys have also worked hard for last one week.
Hope you guys had a warm week…(゜▽゜●)″
Seems like cold is going around...
Hope you all take good care of your health...

[MONDAY]
25th day of 2016
(Shanghai Day 5)
This morning, isnt any different from the previous days, severe cold in Shanghai
But, maybe the cold strong wind was eased
I could feel, a little warmth from the rays of sun... I think,
but having said that the temperature was at -4℃
It's stilll cold... (((° Д ° ○)))″
Today, is finally the actual day of performance...
I was nervous, but some how the warm air and also the warm support we received,
We had a wonderful performance.
To everyone from China, to everyone from Shanghai
Please look forward to Lunar New Year night...
And then, on our last night in Shanghai
Outside of the window, then river was shimmering
Today, I feel a great piece of mind, not only do I feel healed by the light from the river everynight,
but also the round moon, and the stars.
[TUESDAY]
26th day of 2016.
(Shanghai Day 6)
It's always like this.
When I have to return home, my heart feels lonely.
I wish I could stay a little longer...
I could know a little more...
Whenever I go overseas, I always find it hard t express my feelings of gratitude.
Whichever what, not matter where I go.
Everyone overseas always response back with their warm smiles.
Well, smile is the common language in the world.
I'm really thankful for lots of wonderful smiles received from everyone in Shanghai this time.
I'm thankful for the moments of smiles that comes with warmth, support from everyone.
I also want to thank those who support use from afar all the time.
I'm back to Japan from Shanghai.
Thank you Shanghai... see you again ヾ(T∧T●)″
(in Chinese: Really thank you so much!! See you\(゜∇゜●)″)
Hope you have a good Lunar New Year...
[WEDNESDAY]
27th day of 2016
Soccer U23 Olympic representative
They got the ticket to participate in the Olympic by 2-1 winning their goals through lost time.
They did it... Aren't they superb? ((゜▽゜●))″
Seems like the final match will be Korea VS Japan,
Korea is strong, looking forward to the match...
Who ever wins, it's going to be an interesting match...
I wanna watch...
It's also good weather today...
It has been a long time since the morning here.
Bathroom`s wall, with the sun and the sunset...
I only did my laundry today.
Today was a stay-at-home-day
I'm going to rest my body fully today
And work hard from tomorrow again!!!

[THURSDAY]
29th day of 2016
Good weather today too!
But morning is chilly as usual.
While I was on my way home, the sun was warm
Forecasted temperature was 14℃... since I have had experience of below zero deg. Temperature like this feels so warm.
but, if I take it too lightly, I could have easily caught a cold...
Those in the north, those in the mountains
I think they are shivering in cold as usual...
maybe they are still experiencing below zero temperature...
I think they felt that way... just by imagining the cold they experience I would start trembling even now.
Please do keep yourself warm...
On my way home, I carried my stuff and walked into a convenience store
At the entrance, there was a cute dog...
sitting demurely inside a baby car
busy looking around while waiting for its owner. Such a cutie pie \(゜▽゜●)″
[FRIDAY]
29th day of 2016
The sky looks like it's going to rain, and the air is becoming really chilly...
I thought, today is going to be a waste...
Collar shirt... somehow...
I'm going to make it clean...
[Challenge to clean the stain on my collar of my shirt...]
1. Scrub it using a toothbrush and dish detergent
2. Bleach using a bleaching agent for 30mins → Quick wash setting
3. It really turned out to be sharp crease.../(゜Д゜●)/″
4. 2 shirts.. sure took up my time...
and because I didn't know about it...
I tried searching and took up the challenge to clean it...
and it really became so clean...
Makes me feel so happy...
My shirt can still be worn, it's going to do its part for me...
Please everyone, do give it a try. It does brighten up your mood!!
Wellwell, tomorrow, is strawberry picking (゜▽゜●)″
[SATURDAY]
30th day of 2016
It rained, unfortunately this morning.
the air was really chilly.,.
but it seems like it won't turn into snow...
Woke up at 3:30 AM this morning.
Getting myself prepared and set off!!
I felt really happy in the heart when I saw everyone welcoming me in smiles since morning
We don't really know how the tour will turn out to be...
In the bus, strawberry picking, and then treasure hunting
We were able to spend lots of happy moments with everyone.
Kids who were also on the long bus journey, they must have been really tired.
But Jiiji felt healed at heart with all your smiles(゜▽゜●)″｡
Those drawings and letters you guys put so much effort in, are my precious.
Although I didn't get to participate in treasure hunt, I'd already gotten my own warm treasures.
Let's get together and play again next time!!
It has been a long day since everyone woke up so early in the morning.
Thank you so much for the gentle wind.
All the happy moments we shared are kept in my heart...
From tomorrow onwards, till the day we meet again, lets live well and hard!
Till the day we exchange smiles again
Thank you...
Thank you very much.
Stay warm and rest well. Hope you guys have a sweet dream...
Good night...

Today I went to the station to do a little preparation for tomorrow.
Morning sky was covered with clouds, all white.
Air was cold and chilly
On my way home, I bought McDonald's
french fries.
FamilyaMart French fries. And also Curl.
Warm moments from yesterday were all kept in my heart, giving me the energy to start a new week.
