Dear my friends
2009-04-27
Ahhhhhhhh,,,,,, Long time no see you all..... I finally back to my home.I had to be away from my home for a while because of many things. I had to stay under extreme fatigue and almost sleepless days, so I thought my heart was going to be broken, but when I was about to get into such a situation, I was supported by many things.
Oh, I was in halfway talking about my trip to America. Okay, let me tell about one of the important things which supports me always.
あああああ.... どうもご無沙汰しております。 ふう〜 やっと帰ってこられた...。
種々の事情により、しばらく留守にしなくてはならなかったのですが、極度の疲労とほとんど不眠の日々の中、心が折れるかと思いました...。でも、そんな状況に陥りそうになった時、いろんな事が私を支えてくれた。
おっと、まだアメリカ旅行記の途中でしたね。では、それについて。
メリーランド再訪問の理由の１つ。 それは友達に会う事。
One of the reason why I visited Maryland again was to meet my friend.
She is a Chinese, but she speaks Japanese very well. She was my first friend who came from foreign country. I wondered if she was fine.
I headed to her home, she was there as I expected. Hey! you have a nothing change!
We hugged each other. Then we couldn't stop chatting. Actually, it had past about 2 years since we met the last time, but I didn't feel an interval.
But time went so fast. The time came to say good-by to her again. If I had a chance to come here again, we could meet next time also, but I knew it was not so easy.... Hey! how far distance between America and Japan has! I was wondering when we could meet.
Thinking of it, I couldn't stop crying....
"We should meet here again!!"
Saying so, I left her home with tears.
These day, the situation forces me to fight against many difficult problems, I'm about to be knocked out many times, but I'll try to get them over, as long as my friends are doing fine and I have an expectation to visit America again.
打ちのめされそうになる時、友達の存在が私を支えてくれる。
また がんばろうっと。また会おうね。
Can you guess where I had been in?
2009-03-17
After getting off the airplane, I headed to the place I know well by rental car. The car is running on the free way surrounded by beautiful forests. (,althiugh trees had no leaves because of winter.)Turning in to the FM radio station I know well, my favorite tune is piped in through speakers. It makes me think about ordinary days I used to be, for example, I wonder what to make for dinner this evening.....
Yeah! I can drive a car around here without maps. Oh! almost nothing has a change as I used to stay before, although some new buildings have been built.
Well,,, Can you guess where I had been in?
飛行機を降りた後、レンタカーでよく知る場所へと向かう。車は美しい森に囲まれたフリーウエイをひた走る。(冬のため、実際は枯れ木だったけど。) よく知るFM局にラジオを合わせるとお気に入りの曲が流れる。そうすると、前にいた時のいつもの日々が頭をよぎる。例えば、「あぁ、今日の夕飯何にしようかな？」とか。
うわ〜！いくつか新しい建物ができたけどほとんど変わってないなー。ここら辺なら地図なしでも運転できるよ。
さて皆様、今まで私はどこにいたと思います？
Yeah!! I had been in Rockville, Maryland!
I was like...... so glad enough to cry......
Marylandに戻ってきた！ 懐かしくて涙でた。
Get snow off!
2009-02-16
As I told you, we shouldn't take snow easy. I really understood it through the previous experience, so I have to care about my car not to be buried. However, even though we clear the snow off, the snowplow would pile snow and make a wall of snow in front of my car, you know, once the snow wall get frozen, it would be difficult to remove. So we have to be careful of other things,too. We can't relax.I kept guard over outside from my room in the 6 floor of this apartment, whether the snow which was removed from somewhere was piled around my car by someone outrageous person or the snowplow did it.
Don't be off your guard against everything!
前回の経験から、雪を甘く見てはいけないということがよく分かった。しかしながら、たとえ雪かきをしたとしても、今度は除雪車がガーーッと雪を積み上げて車の前に雪の壁を作ってしまう。一旦、雪が凍ってしまうとそれをどけるのは困難を極めるだろう。実に気が抜けない。
不届き者がウチの車の周りに除けた雪を積んだりしてやしないだろうか、また、除雪車がそれをしてないだろうか、このアパートの６階の自室から私は外を監視しつづけた。油断しちゃあいけない。
I was patrolling outside with a snow shovel every 1 hour. I was watching on my car from the park by my side sledding on the snow field. I was watching on my car throwing snow balls.
雪かき用シャベルを携え１時間おきに外へ巡回へ行く。近くの公園からそりで滑りながら車を監視。雪玉を投げながら車を監視。
"Was it really patrol? Hey! you just wanted to play with snow right?" you thought so?
Yeah, That's right! I just wanted to play with snow in the winter wonder land.
パトロール？雪で遊びたかっただけじゃないのか？とお思いでしょう。
その通り。遊びたかったんですよ。雪の中で。
yahooooo!!!
Snowing
2009-02-10
My home town in Japan actually has a snow, but it's only 2 or 3 days in a season, and it just sheets on the ground, so I had never had such a heavy snow in my life.
I would often have a heavy snow during living in Maryland. The apartment where I lived in was surrounded by trees, so the scenery covered with snow was really beautiful, it was as if I were in ski resort.
I suddenly remembered the lesson from my mom as follow.
"Don't take snow easy!"
She was born and grew up in the region where is famous for a great snowfall area in Japan. According to her, she had a heavy snow enough to a whole house was buried by it easily in the winter, and then blackout caused by heavy snow was usual thing.
She told me also to remove snow as often as possible, or we would be closed in the house. To be honest, I couldn't imagine how snow give us an effect at that time.
Mom... you were right.
I saw cars were buried by thick snow..... It was the first time to see such a sight in my life. Can you see these cars in this picture?
私の地元は確かに雪は降るけど１シーズンに２日か３日うっすらと積もる程度。そんなにひどい降雪ではない。在米中はよく雪が降ったなぁ。こんな感じの積雪は今まで経験したことがなかった。当時住んでいたアパートは樹木に囲まれているので、雪の日はさながらスキー場にいるみたいだった。私はふと、母の教えを思い出した。
「雪を甘くみるんじゃない！」
日本有数の豪雪地帯で生まれ育った母曰く、冬は家1軒埋まる程の雪が降り、雪の断線による停電はいつものことだと。で、雪かきをまめにしろ。さもなければ閉じ込められるぞとも。正直、私は雪がどんなものかその時は想像できなかった。
なるほど。お母さん、貴女は正しかった。
車、埋まってるよ。
Time goes so fast
2008-12-20
Oh, Christmas is coming very soon! After wards, it's almost finish 2008! What was this year like for you? Time goes so fast! I really think it recently. We live now heading to the future, but I sometimes feel it a bit sad, because I feel like my American life is getting farther and farther.
But my American life won't fade away, no matter where I am, it will be shining, as long as I live now.
Well, let me put a movie I made. I'm driving on Rockville Pike from Grosvenor to Congressional Plaza.
もうすぐクリスマス。そのあと、もう今年も終わってしまいますね。
ぬわぁぁ.. 早いなあ。 今年はどんな感じでしたか？ 時が経つのはあっという間だなあ。本当、最近そう思います。 未来に向かって生きている訳だけど、時々私はそれが寂しくなる。なんだかアメリカがどんどん遠くなっていくような気がして。
でも、私のアメリカ生活は色褪せることはないでしょう。どこにいようと、それは輝き続けるでしょう。私が生きている限り。
さて、動画を作ったのでちょっと貼らせてください。今回はRockville Pike爆走編。
