I went to a spanish restrant with my friends(seniors) last Tuesday. The restrant is at Kyobashi. That was my first time to have spanish food...also I didn't know what kind of food spanish food were.

The owner was friendly and food were delicious!!! I show you some photos of spanish food!

I want to tell you abou my best memory in summer vacation! I went to Singapore to see my friends during summer vacation. I was looking forward to seeing my friends since they left gaidai so I really was excited!! Friends and her familiy came for me at an airport and took me to their house. We talked a lot that night. She took me to a lot of place and introduce her friends, so I hung out with them evryday. I visited almost all of places which are on a guidebook!! You know that Singapore is about as big as Osaka? Actually Singapore is small so I could walked around many place and islands in a week. Also Singapore is very very very beautiful!! There were no dust (litter) on roads and streets unlike Osaka. Many people can speak English and Chinese. They teach me some Singlish. It is English but souds like Chinese!! so sometimes I couldn't understand what they say. However people I met are kind and friendly. I really want to visit there again!! Did you enjoy my photos?? Hope you like them!!

Kansai airport....and Philippines.

Kansai airport is the biggerst airport in kansai area. There are a lot of souvenir shops, restrants and a duty-free shops, so we don't feel boring. I want to show you some pictures of my trip.

USJ.....there is Land of Oz!!

Universal studio Japan...USJ is one of the most exciting places in Osaka! 2 weeks ago I went there with my friends. When we went there, we took a train which has illustrations of the Sesame Street on it. It was so cute!! and made me excited!!

This is the famous globe in USJ!

The day we went to USJ was Monday but there was crowded. WHYWHYWHYWHYWHY!!! I thought there are a few people on week day so we were disapointed...

This is the Land of Oz!!

Last week I read the Wizard of Oz so I expected the land is all green, but was not so green...

Though there were so many people, we could rode 7 or 8 attractions. The best attraction is Back to the future I think because I love the movie "Back to the Future".

Snoopy's place.You can see the characters of the Peanuts there!

Pink panther's pharmacy!!!

This place was ALL PINK and cute!!
If you go to Usj and love PINK, you should get in!!
