September 16, 1996
On my way to Narita airport, I met an American guy named Kevin. Although I was not good at speaking English, we had a chat and he gave me his address. I'll write a letter to him.
I was very exhausted after 12-hour-flight. It was much easier for me to deal with air transit in Toronto. "Where should I go?" I found it quite useful expression.
I reached Prince Edward Island at around 8 PM. The elderly couple whom I was supposed to spend a week with looked friendly. They prepared a very lovely room for me to stay.
Crazy for this song

I knew next to nothing about "Evan and Jaron" until I listened to their song, "Crazy for this girl." What a beautiful voice they have! How lovely their melody is! I fell in love with the song. I looked for their album including my favorite song, and the other day I bought it.
I like songs that remind me of something, something happened in the past or something refreshes me somehow. I'd say some songs that leave an imagination for listeners. "Evan and Jaron" truly has a gift to reach my heart. Listening is believing. Well, what do you think?
Crazy for this game

My husband came back home with a video game software named "Wii Sports Resort" yesterday. He said that it could be my birthday present because I had asked him whether we could get it or not. Well, my birthday is a month away, but why not? I'm not particular about my birthday present after all.
This game software included some sports, such as basketball, golf, ping-pong, and so on. It should be mine, but the whole family were totally into it, especially my children. Because they wanted to play with it, they never said "No!" when I told them to study before playing the game. I didn't expect that the game software would be useful for their study.
Prince Edward island

Around over 10 years ago, I visited a beautiful place in Canada called Prince Edward island by myself. Because I had been longing to visit the Anne's island since I first read "Anne of Green Gables" at the age of 10 or so, I was quite happy to make my dream come true.
I didn't speak English at all at that time, but people there were very kind to me. Having said that, I should have studied English before landing on the island! My host-family took me to a party or a farmers' market; however, I couldn't make myself understood in English and I always failed to mingle with the islanders.
How wonderful if I could visit Prince Edward island again! For now, I have to find consolation in my fabulous photographic collections.
