Vancouver

How was your 3-day weekend? Do anything exciting?

After going to a Shrine which I go to every year around this time, I ate yaki-niku, grilled beef, on Sunday night. It was good!! Sushi and yaki-niku are my two favorite Japanese foods. And, because the next day, Monday, was a national holiday, I could eat a lot fo garlic and not worry about smelling bad the next day. That was lucky!

Please read the following to hear about some people's resolutions. They are simple, but good for your study! "What are your New year's resolutions?"

Last year, 4 friends of mine went to Canada to study English. One person went to Montreal. The other three people went to Vancouver. All of the people told me that both cities are very international and easy for Japanese people to live. The guy in Montreal told me that speaking French is a must there. I studied french for 4 years when I was in University.
Bonjour! Bonsoir!! BO-RA-GI-NOIRE!!! ;)
Do you get it?

Anyway, back to Canada. In about a month or so, the Winter Olympics will begin in Vancouver. Those guys and gals living in Vancouver are really lucky I think...because they can watch and experience all of the events and festivities live. I will have to settle for watching everything on my tv. Speaking of my tv. recently the sound is not so good...actually it is broken I think. So, I will have to buy a new one soon. What kind of tv do you recommend?

Enjoy the week!
