Hey y’all! 

Growing up, Halloween was the event of the year. One night, cute costumes and FREE candy. My family was committed to the holiday and so was our house. A lot of the decorations you see in the pictures were handcrafted by my mom! Back then, if you wanted to really decorate your life away, you couldn’t rely on Amazon. YOU had to make it. It was just the best and by far my favorite holiday. 

see y’all in class! 

Hey everyone!

A few weeks ago, I went to Nagano with my friend Kana for a couple of days!

I have family that lives just outside of Iiyama, and they own a Ski Resort called Kitashiga Komaruyama!

Once there, I went to a delicious Yakiniku restaurant, where I tried kimchi – it was so spicy, I cried!

The next day, I went to Zenkoji and it was so beautiful! I love how pretty the streets are there, everyone is so friendly and polite and I loved the atmosphere. We checked out my cousins’s grape vineyard and got to see a stunning view of Nagano city from the mountain.

We then had lunch at this gorgeous restaurant with my family, and I was really grateful to be able to see them again. It’s been 5 years since the last time I saw my cousins in Nagano, and a lot has changed since then!

I can’t wait to go back to Nagano in the winter-time, so I can do some skiing!

最近は朝と夜が肌寒くなってきましたね。とは言いつつ自分はとても暑がりなのでいまだに半袖やノースリーブを着ており、ついに先日生徒に「寒くないの？＼(◎o◎;)／」とびっくりされてしまいなんだかすごく恥ずかしかったです…。気温の変化のせいか、体調を崩してお休みする生徒さんが増えてきました。みなさんにはぜひ、おいしいものを食べて元気に過ごして、秋の夜長を楽しんでほしいと思っています。

日中の暑さもかなり落ち着きましたね。

朝晩は気温がぐっと低く、肌寒く感じることもあります。

まもなく紅葉のシーズンになりますね。

東海地方の有名な紅葉スポットを先日ネットで検索してみました。

昨年は行けていないので、

今年はぜひ一か所は行きたいなと思っています。

I recently took a trip to Yoro and saw the waterfall at Yoro park. It was a beautiful area and a great walk to get up to where the waterfall was. The waterfall was bigger than I thought it would be. At the end of the trail I had some food and a delicious Yoro cider. It was a great little trip!
