Snow Monsters

Am fost norocosi sa ajungem in varful muntelui si sa avem parte de o zi asa cum rareori am intalnit pe Hakkoda. Cer senin, fara vant si zapada cum trebuie. Am urcat in telecabina pana ne- au spus ca s- a oprit pentru ziua respectiva.
Am urcat de 7 ori si am reusit sa megem pe cateva din cele mai bune rute de pe munte. Am adunat cateva poze si 2 filme pe care le- am pus in graba impreuna.

Din casa iarna pare atat de rece, insa aici simti ca te poti bucura de Ea.

Christmas Memories 2008- クリスマスメモリーズ2008

Pe 26 decembrie 2008, impreuna cu D- na Kamiyama ne- am intalnit cu reprezentantii Comunitatii Internationale din Aomori carora le- am inmanat donatia pentru orfelinatul din Aomori. Saptamana viitoare urmeaza sa- i vizitam pe copiii de la orfelinat.

Walking Strawberry

I am back on my feet and started work again.
Am ajuns la servici incarcat cu forte noi si am continuat proiectul inceput in ianuarie referitor la vacanta de primavara. Azi am vizitat locatia unde urmeaza sa petrecem 2 zile in care vom putea imbina jocurile in limba engleza cu exercitiile fizice. Din pacate 青い森アリーナ are facute deja rezervari pentru luna martie. Urmeaza sa stabilim ce vom face.

Duminica, ma voi intalni cu prietenii cu care am organizat "Christmas Memories"( poze de la eveniment) care a avut loc pe 14 decembrie 2008. La eveniment au fost prezente in jur de 150 de persoane si prieteni din Coreea, Germania, Australia, America, Malaezia, Rusia, Philipine, China, Canada, Franta. Au mai fost prezenti cantareti locali de スコップ三味線, grupul de dansatoare de la scoala de dans Hula si Tahitian- Papa Hula O Ho' onani I Ka Lani.
Vom discuta despre eveniment urmarind inregistrarile.
Cu banii adunati din vinderea biletelor am reusit sa facem o donatie pentru un orfelinat din Aomori, unde vor fi cumparate carti pentru copiii care locuiesc aici.

Healthy colors

This morning I was prepared to go up the mountain, but... Yesterday evening after meeting with some of my friends downtown, I checked my temperature and for my surprise I was having 38 degrees. Nothing to worry about. Ate some Lamen and went to bed. In the morning the fever was 38.3 and I decided to pay the doctor a visit since I won`t be going up the mountain. They pushed this long and thin stick through my nose.
I was diagnosed with Influenza A and I was asked to choose between Tamiflu and normal antiviral medicine. I will be staying in the house, in the same room for a few days; i have a few days just for myself.
So, wash your hands, gargle when coming home and wear a mask if needed. The photo was taken last week on Hakkoda during the 2 hours of clear sky.
I wish I can do this someday- Watch on Youtube!

Happy New Year!

Mr. Hiroyuki, the owner of Eyes Cafe and Little Juice Bar from Sapporo was so kind to show us Rusutu and show us where the real powder is hidding. We visited his shop situated inside Sapporo's station in Paseo. I had the best fresh juice ever.
It`s been a busy end of 2008 and beginning of 2009.
December was the events month for me and the end of the year and beginning of 2009 was dedicated to snowboard and family. Around New Years Eve I went to Hokkaido and snowboarded at Rusutu, Kiroro, Teine and Asari.
The video below was made on the top of Rusutu in the near forest where powder is everywhere.
Let's continue learning how to snowboard. How to stop and curve are one of the most important "must know" for me. Enjoy!
