Tsukiji is a market place but it&#39;s huge.... Have you ever been?? Every time I go there,It&#39;s suprisingly huge and busy. We went there to eat Susi. The restaurant we went to is the most famous one in there. When we got there, there were at least 40 people in queue. I didn&#39;t bother to eat there but my mum insisted to eat there so we were in a queue for an hour. Finally we were inside of the restaurant then finished eating for 20 mins then left there.Maybe the susi bar can fit 20 people inside and it&#39;s not a big restaurant... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6678/979/1600/200512100808000.0.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6678/979/200/200512100808000.0.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  This photo is really bad but this is what we ate...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next we went to Shinjuku(新宿)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6678/979/1600/200512101150000.0.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6678/979/320/200512101150000.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;This is the first thing I saw in Shijuku.

The other day I was delivering medicine to people who can&#39;t move from their house. (as I mentioned before...) I was driving my car and I saw an old lady who comes to our pharmacy. She was walking and I didn&#39;t know where she lives so I stopped the car and asked the old lady where she was going to. And she said she missed a bus to go back home so she decided to work to her house. But Her house is far far from there. It&#39;s pretty close to the mountain(but the mountain is more like a hill). Maybe it will take a couple of hours for her to go back home so I decided to give her a lift. Obviously she is an old lady,she walks really slow...&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;ve known her for a while and she is kind of deaf but she is a cute old lady so I like her^o^&lt;br /&gt;When we talk,I have to speak loud but I love her smiling face. Anyway on the way she talked with me abouy missing her bus. When we arrived her house,she started opening her bags and there were loads of fruits in her bags. Then she gave them all to me and her bags were empty.She was really happy that I gave her a lift. It was last Friday.... Today she came to my pharmacy and gave me a bag of grapes. I think they were from her house. She didn&#39;t need to do that but she said thank you again to me and she said she wants me to give her lift again,If it will happen again like that.&lt;br /&gt;I will be happy to give her a lift again. &lt;br /&gt;If you are nice to the other people, they will make you happy.&lt;br /&gt;Actually she made me happy. I just gave her a lift,she was really happy so I&#39;m glad that I make somebody happy.... Before I thought that I couldn&#39;t make somebody happy but she encouraged me and gave me a confidence. I think I&#39;m mentally stronger than before....probably. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that everybody understand my CRAP english &gt;__&lt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hopewasneverclosed.blogspot.com/feeds/112964830229025163/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11864450&amp;postID=112964830229025163&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11864450/posts/default/112964830229025163'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11864450/posts/default/112964830229025163'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hopewasneverclosed.blogspot.com/2005/10/cute-old-lady.html' title='Cute old lady'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11864450.post-112912411388879836</id><published>2005-10-12T22:07:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2005-10-12T22:35:13.903+09:00</updated><title type='text'>sky(sora)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6678/979/1600/sky.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6678/979/320/sky.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6678/979/1600/sky3.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6678/979/320/sky3.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you help or be nice to other people,it will make you really happy.&lt;br /&gt;It makes your day even better, especially when you feel clap these days...</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hopewasneverclosed.blogspot.com/feeds/112912411388879836/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11864450&amp;postID=112912411388879836&amp;isPopup=true' title='17706 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11864450/posts/default/112912411388879836'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11864450/posts/default/112912411388879836'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hopewasneverclosed.blogspot.com/2005/10/skysora.html' title='sky(sora)'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:total>17706</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11864450.post-112844202469331162</id><published>2005-10-05T01:01:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2005-10-05T01:07:04.706+09:00</updated><title type='text'>Have you ever....???</title><content type='html'>Have you ever seen a shooting star??

They were 100 questions about listening and 100 for Reading. First you do listening for 45 mins and 1 hour and 15 mins for Reading.They are 900 points for the total. Last time I took that it wasn&#39;t too bad but this time I can&#39;t say. Cos I didn&#39;t have enough time to think carefully for the all questions of Reading. But I did answered all the questions... I will know my result in a month so let&#39;s see...

Have you heard of this before??? I was talking with my friend the other day but she didn&#39;t know it. She is from America and I thought TOEIC was really famous in there but it wasn&#39;t.... &lt;br /&gt;Anyway I haven&#39;t studied really hard for that. I don&#39;t feel like studying at all... But If I get a good score,It would help to get to another job... I know it will help me a lot. It&#39;s not cheap to take this exam and I paid for this about 6000yen. I guess I&#39;m going to waste of the money... &gt;__&lt; What am I doing??&lt;br /&gt;I was going to study last night but while I was checking emails and blogs, Hugh was in MSN Messangers so we were chatting for a while then started talking each other but it was really good to talk with him. I didn&#39;t feel that Hugh is in Canada. I felt really close to him. We were talking for a hour and he made me happy^o^ &lt;br /&gt;These days Technology is amazing, isn&#39;t it?? The voice was really clearly to talk^o^&lt;br /&gt;Hugh has been lazy and not doing too much...hahahah o^o^o &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These days I&#39;ve been thinking about is to go somewhere...I mean not in Japan. &lt;br /&gt;I really want to go to Combodia. I was thinking of going to Canada 2 days ago to see Hugh. I miss him but all I want to do is going somewhere in the world.&lt;br /&gt;And I don&#39;t think it&#39;s good idea to keep working in the stupid pharmacy. I like my job and talk with old people makes me happy and relax... &lt;br /&gt;But I was looking for a job through the internet but all the interesting job is in Tokyo but I don&#39;t want to live there. I alredy lived there for 2 years and I think 2 years enough to live. I didn&#39;t like countryside before but now I&#39;m working countryside and countryside is a great. Clear sky, rice field, apple trees and nice people.... I guess I&#39;m getting older. I never though this before but here I am.&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m definetely getting older...&gt;__&lt; I just want to run away from the real world...I think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think my all sentences are mixed up.... like my mind.

The roof has a special structure. I can&#39;t explain perfectly so there is perfect explanation of the roof : &lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff0000;&quot;&gt;Thick A-frame crossbeams support the Gassho style roof. The edge of this the crossbeams were acuminate. It is called &quot;Komajiri&quot;. The Komajiri attached to the hole of A-frame beam, and build many A-frame crossbeams for one roof. These equilateral triangle A-frame crossbeams disperse the barycenter to right and left, and keep the balance of stable structure. For reinforcing the A-frame crossbeams, crossbars &quot;yanaka&quot; and length bars &quot;taguri&quot; were through outside of A-frame, and also add diagona braces then top out the skeletal structure. It uses flexible wood hamamelis, called &quot;sone&quot;, to tie &quot;yanaka&quot; and &quot;taguri&quot;. The &quot;sone&quot; is also used for forming the ridge with thatchs.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This roof is completely tight and the length is 1m. It it rains, rain is going to change to a glue. That&#39;s why rain never drop inside the house. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Inside the house, they use different wood. There are 6 kinds of wood which is cypress for the floor, pine(Hime-komatu) is for the pillar, katura(I don&#39;t know how to say in English), Zelkova tree and Japanese cedar. Is it amazing?? It depends on where you are using fort. I thought this house is a valuable INDEED!!! Of course this is the world heritage!!!  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hopewasneverclosed.blogspot.com/feeds/112238905405587677/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11864450&amp;postID=112238905405587677&amp;isPopup=true' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11864450/posts/default/112238905405587677'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11864450/posts/default/112238905405587677'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hopewasneverclosed.blogspot.com/2005/07/traditional-part-2.html' title='Traditional Part 2'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11864450.post-112195481313483828</id><published>2005-07-21T19:07:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2005-07-25T23:38:59.700+09:00</updated><title type='text'>Traditional Part 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6678/979/1600/P10000861.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6678/979/320/P10000861.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6678/979/1600/Dscf23421.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Have you ever seen this kind of house before??&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;ve just seen it on TV but I would like to see a real house!!&lt;br /&gt;These house called &quot;Gasshou-dukuri&quot;. Gasshou means the structure that supports the roof. When they built these houses,they don&#39;t use any of nails. Is it amazing?? The highest house&#39;s height is 14.5m and it&#39;s a five-storied house. The roof is made of a thatch.&lt;br /&gt;From April to June,it will be changed to a new thatch roof. The old one is going to be used for the new way to be useful. People who lives in Shirakawa village are going to use this as a fertliser. The old one has a high food value so the field is activated.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hopewasneverclosed.blogspot.com/feeds/112195481313483828/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11864450&amp;postID=112195481313483828&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11864450/posts/default/112195481313483828'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11864450/posts/default/112195481313483828'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hopewasneverclosed.blogspot.com/2005/07/traditional-part-1.html' title='Traditional Part 1'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17555170980448538463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11864450.post-112117710510028433</id><published>2005-07-12T22:54:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2005-07-12T23:05:05.106+09:00</updated><title type='text'>complicated</title><content type='html'>Since last night I&#39;ve started studying English again.... and Now I&#39;m studying about ---ing or       to do.
