Trip of Snowbird

I went to snow mountain a little far with my friends of Snowbird last weekend. It was a strange trip because one of members doesn’t snowboard every trip so he only like to make a trip with us. He has never been absent from our trips. Another was unable to snowboard. He had have hemorrhoids! It was fun that he didn’t tell us it until just before we started snowboarding. He is just shy boy! Unfortunately, drinking party of the night grew livelier thanks to his disease. On the first day, we left the two guys in the hotel and snowboarded. We had good time to snowboard. The area has so many hot springs so bath of our hotel also has it and even when we were snowboarding, we could smell like eggs went bad! It was sulfurous. Anyway, they seemed to be enjoying the hot spring to the full all the day. We took a bath twice a night. Do you have some hot springs nearby? We have many hot springs in Japan and many people like to take a bath of hot spring.

The 2nd day, I decided to sightseeing. At first, we made an expedition to waterfall near the hotel. It took about 20 minutes to get to it on foot. It was very slowly because he seemed to be so painful. Almost of the waterfall was frozen so a little water was flowing in the big ice plate. I am worried that the ice plate would fall some time because it seemed to be falling down but climbing men were repeating up and down on the ice plate. It was so dangerous! Anyway, I was able to see rare sight and my friends seemed to enjoy.

Next, we went to Matumoto castle. It was so beautiful. It is about 400 years old and has so long history but I don’t know about the details. We entered in it and saw the building's engineering systems and the exhibits and so on. There were so many big woods and the building seemed to be built without screws, bolt and nut. Old people’s skill is very nice! As exhibits, there were swords, old guns, armor, bows and so on. Especially, there were so many guns and the history was explained very well.

I finished my last presentation so I can graduate my school. This picture was after we finished our presentation. We are going to snowboard next weekend for 3 days as graduation trip. Almost of us like to ski and snowboard in addition OB are going to take part in the trip so the members are 19! So many! I wonder if I could boss them but it must be going to be interesting. Personally, I am going to take a trip in Vietnam for a week with Kenji who is crazy guy.

How is your wedding party in U.S.A? Generally, friends of the bride and groom have to do some entertainment in Japan. My old friend is going to give a party Mar. 1. He asked me for an entertainment as our local football team. We have ever done some dance, singing a song, juggling act, making a movie and derby so by now it is very difficult to find new and fresh something. This time, we decided to do quiz derby but we haven’t prepare for it yet.

Recent events

Japan VS Bosnia and Herzegovina
I went to National Stadium to see the football game that was Japan VS Bosnia and Herzegovina because my friend accidentally had some tickets. It was one of the biggest games for Japan national team. I had never seen such a big game. It was so exciting because some players I like worked well but now here is winter so it was very cold. We won at 3-0.

Reunion
The day before yesterday, there was reunion when I was junior high school student. You don’t know about my junior high school. It was so small that my classmates were 36. Even so, my friends came there were 11. It’s so few people. Before, maybe about 30 friends came but now almost of them have jobs so they may be so busy. It cannot be helped. Anyway, we enjoyed it. We talked about our future and sang songs. It was so long, for 6 hours.

One of my friends, Kei, wanted to attend the reunion but he was unable because now he is in hospital. He broke his lumbar 2 weeks ago when he was snowboarding with us. This movie is then. He is so nice guy but a little crazy. There doesn’t seem to be after effect. I said to me “Don’t be too confident of myself!”
