  I went Kandon with my friends on Friday. It's near our university. Friday was the Kandon’s opening day, so it was very crowded. I ate horumon sundubu. It was spicy, but very delicious. I don't like spicy food, but I enjoyed it. I want to go there again.  I love to eat, so I want to go to a place that has good food. I haven't been to Korea yet, so it was a day that made me want to go Korea and eat good Korean food.  However, I've been spending too much money on eating out recently. I want to save money and go to many delicious restaurants.

  This Saturday was a very nice day. My friend came to stay at my house and we had a hot pot party (“nabepa”)and enjoyed it. The pot was very delicious. I was very full, and I was able to spend a wonderful holiday with my friends, and my heart was fulfilled.  And today (Sunday) I participated in an event held at Niigata Airport called NIIGATA AMERICAN SWAPMEET with that friend. The event is a lifestyle event that combined American motorcycles, cars, second-hand clothes, miscellaneous goods, and music. We enjoyed seeing and buying old clothes and miscellaneous goods. I am very happy to have friends who can do fun things together. It was a good holiday.

  Last weekend, I lost my house keys. Unfortunately, I had traveled a wide area by train that day, so I was very troubled when I realized that I didn't have the keys with me. I got on the train, so I first contacted JR, but they told me that the keys had not arrived. Next, I went to the nearest police station from my house and explained the situation, including the characteristics of the keys. They told me that they were at another police station!!   I went to the police station a few days later and got the keys back. They explained that someone had picked them up and left them at the police station. I am very grateful. I will be more careful with what I own from now on. At the same time, I thought that Japan's public safety is very wonderful. I am proud to be Japanese. I would like to make an effort to help people by returning lost items when I find them.

 On last Saturday, I went to the soccer match at the National Stadium,LEVAIN CUP FINAL(NAGOYA GRAMPUS vs ALBIREX NIIGATA).I have cheered the ALBIREX NIIGATA since I was born. In the history of the club, Albirex Niigata has never reached the finals or won the championship.So the final is very very important for the club and ALBIREX supporters including me! Many ALBIREX supporters came to Tokyo from Niigata. Approximately 62,000 people attended the match, the largest attendance in the LEVAIN CUP history.  Japan's best supporter  The match was a very hard. It became a battle for points, Nagoya took the lead with two points in the first half, but Niigata got two points back in the second half. In the extra time, both teams scored one point each. After that, Nagoya Grampus won the match after a penalty shootout. I am so very very disappointed. However, as a supporter, I am proud of the players and team who went to the final. I will never forget this disappointment. Although we...

  This Wednesday, I bought new earphones.I had wired earphones, but I lost it recently. I often use wired earphones. When I use wireless earphones, I have to charge energy of it. It is troublesome for me. And the wired earphones are cheap.So I like wired earphones and when I lost it, I was shocked. I want to take good care of my new earphones.

 This morning, when I opened my bag, I realized that my pencil case was missing. I thought I had left it at the university yesterday, so I was in trouble. I asked a friend who lives near the university for help, and he went to the university to look for my pencil case, even though it was still early in the morning, and found it for me. After that, I played soccer with that friend. I felt very lucky to have a friend I could trust.

     I will write this reflection about Regional Revitalization in Action dividing three points.      First is about Ms. Burt’s passion and her work.She was born and raised in Tokyo.But why is she working for Regional Revitalization now?She had worked on trading company (“syosya”) for long time.When she went to Philippine, she was shocked by the life of Philippine.She started to thinking about “local issues”.Her husband is working as “Moon-Researcher”.He thinks it is important to work with passion.Probably, he is very important key person for Ms. Burt’s current works and her life.She studied in university again with working on trading company.It was second university for her life.She studied social issues and he has especially been interested in “local issues”.I think this her thought is come from her experiences in Philippine. After that, she had moved to Tokamachi, Matsudai.She developed idea such as making library or cafe.She holds trail-run-race, Matsud...
