Kurashiki-Japan


I went to Kurashiki which was a famous place known for their classical buildings. I want to give advice to people who plan on visiting there.

"Don't go on Mondays."
The reason why is that most shops and restaurants are closed on Mondays. The Ohara museum which is one of the famous sight seeing spot is closed on Monday. Also a lot of restaurants and shops nearby this area are closed.

Another advice for people visiting Kurashiki is that you should make reservations for breakfast. Most restaurants will be open at 11:00 am. They have only lunch menu. Some cafes will be open at 10 am but they have only desert and drink menu.

If you are able to follow these things you can enjoy Kurashiki.

My activity in every morning

I usually wake up with the sound of my alarm clock with rings at 8:00 am. I then turn on my heater and go back to bed. After 30 minutes my clock rings again. I wake up right after. I brush my teeth and take a shower immediately I wake up. And then I put on my wake up and change my clothes. I dry my hair with a dryer. After I dry half of my hair. I eat my breakfast while I watch some news on TV.
After I eat my breakfast I dry my hair completely. I put my watch and accessories on. I brush my teeth again. I leave for my office at 9;30 am.

Xmas songs

I collect Christmas song CDs every winter. This year I asked my friend and sister to buy Christmas CDs when they travel trips. My sister went to Cedona in USA. She bought me a Christmas CD. Cedona's photos on front cover were printed. All songs were in Jazz version. My friend went to Germany and the Netherlands. She bought me two CDs from both countries. The CD which she got from the Netherlands contained classic Christmas songs which I was familiar with. And so then the Children are singing the songs in Dutch. The other CD from Germany contained songs in German and some in English.
Some of the songs were familiar to me and some of them. I've never heard before. Every Christmas songs make me happy.

Driving with my friend

Today I plan on meeting my friend who lives in my neighborhood. She called me this morning and said "I will go back to my house at 10:30pm. After hen I will stay home." I said "I will go to your house around that time. See you later."
Since we will meet at late time, I decided to drive to her house. At 10:30 pm, I called her but she didn't answer her phone. But I still left my house. After 20 minutes she called me back. She said "I reached my station. After 20minutes she called me back. She said "I reached my station. Where are you?" I had just arrived at her station. I picked her up. She rode in my car. She said "Thank you. I didn't know you can drive a car." I calmly answered her, "I sometimes drive my car." Then as always she talked about her recent state. We arrived at her house while we were talking. On my way back, I tried to recall what we talked about in my car, but I couldn't remember. To tell the truth I have never driven the car with a frined.

How to start a online shopping site

My friend called me and said "I want to sell my work on the Internet. What skills do I need to run my site?" I explained to him how to start. Then I told him about the services he should pay in order to make his business work. "At first you have to get a computer and then have it connected to the Internet. You need to get your own website address and make a contract with a shopping cart service and a payment service. You should be able to use Photoshop to process photos. You should also be able to make good catchy lines. Creating htmls are also necessary. He said to me "I have to do a lot of things. I want to have my website. I will start with the things as soon as possible. I'll call again." I hung up the phone. After I hung up I thought about his question of what is necessary in order to begin his site. Then I noticed two things. The first thing is that you should keep running your business for 3 years even if there are no sales. Another skill is that you should try to do everything and anything that might make it possible for any sales. He can get any skills apart from these two. I called him again and I advised him with these two skills.

IPhone

I want to have an IPhone but I don't want to get it now. I have to make a contract with softbank. I don't like the company. I had once used softbank phone long time ago. The connection was terrible. It would suddenly disconnect. Sometimes I had the incidents. And then I changed my phone from softbank to au. The connection is perfect now. I hope au will begin selling IPhone.
