Life in Halifax!!

It has passed about 3weeks since I came to Halifax! I had many experiences here and all of them is so new for me.




At first, I visited many places in Halifax. I'll talk about it. At first, I went to Peggy's cove with two people, one is a person who was my English teacher before and the other is his girl friend. I saw beautiful sea at Peggy's cove. There is a light tower that is a symbol of Halifax. I also visited memorial place of plane accident. It was a place where plane of Swiss airline crushed and many people died. There is a part of the airplane wall, and it realised how the accident is terrible.




Second, I went to Mic Mac shopping mall with them!! It was really exciting place because many shops and goods was sold!!! What is most interesting is the shop we can make plushie by ourselves. That means we can make puppets that is only one in the world. Some sample of them were really cute. I'll make it for my sister when I go back to Japan. We could enjoy soooo much.

Traveling is important in Canadian life, but I can't enjoy only it because I have classes in Canada. It was so difficult for me. I take only three classes now, but I have many things to do. All of classes have exam once in a month, and I need to read textbook and something extra references before the class. Besides students tell their opinion during the class with rising hand, and it goes too fast to follow. For the first time, I wanted to cry, but now I am using to listening English a little bit and many friends always help me. Maybe I can do it if I study hard and keep trying.


I'm really busy since I came here, but I can enjoy this life now. Since now, I will study harder and harder and get credit for the class, and want to go many places in the vacation.

Hi, I'm in Halifax, Canadaaaa

Looooong time no write!! I forget this blog for a long time, but I will start writing again:) The reason why I think so, I start my Halifax life! I've just arrived here on Sep.3rd. At first I stayed at my friend's house, but now I'm in the Rice residence. I have to cook myself~~~ I'm afraid of it so much.

There are soooooo many problems when I come into residence, and my English is sooo bad.
I mean it took many times to solve the problems. They still leave now... but I'm maybe OK.

I don't know how I can live here, take the classes, make friends, and so on, but I'll do my best.
I just keep going!!!

I have soooo bad condition...

My condition is so bad. I can't stop cough, have a headache, run nose, and so on. But I have to go to the classes of course...

In this semester, I took ten subjects. There are some English class, such as business English, Mass Media English, Honor's seminer English. I will go to Canada to study, so I have to be using to speaking these words. I chose the some classes whose teacher is native speaker, so I hope my listening skill is improved, The class that I especially like is translation class. I have not translate, and don't know about it well. However, translation is one of general job for our department. This is why I took this class. This week, I have a assginment in this class, but it was the first translation for me. It wasn't easy, but I could really enjoy it during the class.

This semester is not easy for me, because I have to improve my skill until I go to Canada. I have not enough. I will do my best!!

Thailand is one of the Southest Asia country, and borders on Cambodia in the east, Laos in the North, Myammar in the west, and Malaysia in the South. Official name is "ราชอาณาจักรไทย" , it means "Kingdom of Thailand". Landform can be separated into 4 parts. The Thailand of north is mountain lands. There is "Doi Inthanonthe" , the highest mountain in Thailand. Khorat Plateau is in the northeast side. This plateau is 155 thousands square meters in area. This area rain not so much, so it is difficult to grow food. The center of Thailand is called Chao Phraya Delta. This is a rich flat land, so it is great rice crop place. Bangkok, the capital in Thailand, is included here. The Thailand of south is a part of Malay Peninsula. There are some rubber field, besides tin used to be minded.

Spring semester started!!

I have not written this blog for a long time, but now I've just start again!! At first, I will tell about my spring vacation, and then I will tell about this semester.

In the spring vacation, I had a great time. I tried snow boading for the first time, met a friend who have not seen each other for a long time, went aquarium, and went Tailand!! All of them were really excited, especially Tailand was fantastic!! I saw many things I had never seen, ate delicious food, and met Jessy, who was an exchage student at my university. We went around Bankok city and her university together. I didn't want to go back to Japan. Jassy told to me to stay at her home when I go Tailand next time, I was really happy, and I will do.

Finally, spring semester started. I will take many classes. Of course, seminer is really important for me. I have to research one country that I have interested in. I have not yet desided what country I research, but I will do my best and keep trying.
