What a great b-day cake!!!
In Japan, "Hina-matsuri" is a festival for girls. It is in March I think, but I forget the exact date...do you know it? It is traditional in Japan to decorate the house with this doll stand as seen below. Traditionally, the decoration is set up about one month before the holiday. Then on the Holiday day, it is considered bad luck for the girl to NOT clean up the decorations, so on this day (maybe march 3rd...) the family members rush to clean up. I think the decorations are rally cool!Wednesday, March 14
Chopsticks...
The other day was Ms. A`s Birthday! Her sister made her a nice cake and also she had dinner with her family. She can`t use chopsticks well, so her sister got her a "correct usage" chopstick tool. I can`t believe people actually use this thing! I couldn`t use chopsticks before I came to Japan. It took me about a year to get used to using chopsticks. I learned from trial and error, and also from observing people. Now I like to use chopsticks a lot, and it is easy! Of course, I can also use a fork and knife. When I eat salad and sushi, I prefer to use only my hands though, no chopsticks or fork or knife! Do you eat any food with only your hands? How about chopsticks...can you use chopsticks well? When you eat spaghetti, do you use chopsticks or a fork and knife or spoon?Tuesday, March 6
Hovercraft in Oita I have never ridden on a hovercraft and I get sea sick easliy so I think I should pass. My friend Maro went to Oita Prefecture on a business trip and went on a hovercraft! He said it was OK but he thought that it was a little bumpy and not such a great ride. Have you ever ridden on one? Hoe about Oita, what do you know about Oita?
Hollywood!!
Another photo from Dr. M. Hollywood. The place of movie stars and fame and stardom and excitement! I have never been to Hollywood but I have always wanted to go. I think it must be exciting and luxurious! And I have never seen a movie star or famous person up-close, so if I was lucky, maybe in Hollywood I could see someone! What do you think of Hollywood? Do you want to go there too?

Los Angeles and Montreal Photos
Dr. M went on another business trip to Los Angeles and Montreal. He attended a medical conference in Montreal and visited some hospitals in Los. In his free time he did some sightseeing. The sunlight in the pic above looks very warm! It`s a great view too!The complete opposite! Freezing cold and snow and ice in Montreal. He said it was minus degrees!! Pass!
I think this is a famous building in Montreal, but I am not sure...
From the airplane! I guess Dr. M had a window seat! Looks amazing! I will go on a vacation in about 2 weeks. I am getting excited about it!
This is UCLA, a famous University in California. I have never been there but I heard that it has a really nice campus. American University campuses and Japanese University campuses are very different I think...MY UNiversity had a huge campus! There was a lot of green and nature, a small town, it was great!
It`s raining today! Don`t forget your umbrella and be careful not to slip!

Santa Monica Pier
Dr. M went to America again for a medical conference. This time he went to the Santa Monica Pier! He was very busy but he found some time to do some sightseeing. He was lucky! This place looks really fun and the weather also looks beautiful! I want to go there one day! How about you? Have you ever been to the west coast in America? I have been to San Francisco and Los Angeles. I spent one week in San Fran, but only was in Los for a 6 hour layover.Next, I want to go to Seattle. I love the beach and ocean...
I don`t like amusement parks! I don`t like roller coasters!!! How about you?
