萩往還、山陽道、古地図片手に街歩き


Hello.
リーです。歴史ウォークをぼちぼちやっています。

昨年度は、語り部と往く萩往還ワンコインツアーに数回参加しました。(問い合わせ:ya_kataribe@yahoo.co.jp またはtel/fax: 083-920-3323



一人でも楽しめますが、ボランティアガイドの語り部さんの説明を聞きながら歩くと、一層楽しくて、リピーターになりました。わたしのお気に入りは、山口市瑠璃光寺近くの、天花坂口から萩方面に向かうコースです。

最近は、山陽道をたどるウォークを始めました。
徳山駅前、糀町、遠石八幡宮、久米、末武川、花岡八幡宮へと続く山陽道を、篤姫も通ったと思うと、見慣れた風景も新鮮です。篤姫は錦帯橋を訪れたそうですが、徳山は全くの素通りだったのでしょうか?

Adrienne 22 April 2013 Day 31 in Japan 来日して1カ月が経ちました。(エイドリアン講師)


Aloha!

So it's official! Today is my one month anniversary in Japan.  I celebrated last weekend by taking a trip to Iwakuni, to see the world - famous Kintai bridge.  The rain was steady last Saturday, and it was not long before I was completely soaked!  Good thing I brought my jacket and hat!




Always take the time to consider a different perspective!

See you after Golden Week!

Strawberry Picking: Yanai イチゴ狩りに行ってきました!!!

At the end of March I went with friends to pick strawberries.  There were three different varieties of the delicious fruit.  I lost count, but I ate at least 30 strawberries!





There is still time left!  You can pick strawberries yourself until the end of Golden Week.

新任講師のご紹介(アダム講師)

Hey!

My name is Adam. I'm the new teacher at SES. Before coming to Japan I lived in Thailand for 2 years and Laos for 1 year. I was very interested in Buddhism at the time, reading many books on the subject. I even joined at temple and stayed there for 7 days. It was a great experience and I hope to visit many temples here in Japan!


The reason I came to Japan!  好きなスポーツは? (メル講師)

I used to live in Korea and watch T.V. after work. Sumo was always on at 1:00 in the morning. It was wonderful. I wanted to see it.

My favourite sumo wrestler was Asashoryu. 

I came to Japan to make my dream come true. I saw sumo last year in Ube.

It was a wonderful day.

 

Sumo is Japan's greatest sport. The wrestlers are very big and strong but they can move as gracefully as ballet dancers.

Haramafuji is my favourite now. I knew he would be yokozuna one day! He used to called Ama. He moved from sekiwake to oozeki to yokozuna. He is very fast. 

I got very close to Hakuho in Ube but he didn't see me shouting (very loudly!)

 

Who needs baseball?

Sumo is the best sport ever! ~ Mel.

Adrienne 18 April 2013, Day 28 in Japan 新任講師のご紹介





Aloha! 

I am Adrienne and I am new to Japan. I arrived here last month in March, and so far my life has been ‘‘go, go, go!’’  I find a few minutes to enjoy myself here and there; here is a sunset photo I took from the roof-top parking lot of the Hofu YouMe Town.



Always take time to enjoy the little things.

Thank you for reading!
