Tomoko's Blog

Originally I made this blog to communicate with with my friends I made with in London . I arrived in London at 14th April 2005 and this is my start studying here. I like computer staff and would like to develop knowledge in that field . I am getting some knowledge from my friends who are so much in that field. So I would like to try what I get and put them on this blog which is useful and understandable for non computer expert person besides my personal diary.

Ikea

I went to Ikea, which is a famous furniture shop based on Sweden. Ikea has a big shop in London. I found out the shop was so huge and similar to the Japanese big retailer which is usually located on a suburb. I got tired a little.

Tate Modern

I went to the Tate Modern.
The building of it was remodelled into the museum from a thermal power station. It is quite UK to appreciate a n old thing. For me, I prefer modern art than classic art and sometime I can appreciate modern art. However it is still difficult to understand them.

penne-cheese

I made a dish which is similar to macaroni-cheese.
I substitute penne for macaroni, so it might be penne-cheese.

conversation on telephon

One of my freinds visited me from Japan.
I called her hotel to decide about our meeting ,but I found out that I forgot her
family name. Thesedays, I think I am losing Japanese words inspite of small development in English. I told the receptionist what I knew about her.
" She have been in your hotel since the dey bofore yesterday and she stays with
her mother." The receptionist asked me " what is her mother's familiy name?"
I answered " I think her family name and her mother's family name might be same."
It is a silly question, isn't it?
At night,she called me and I could remember her name as soon as I heard her voice.

Vidal Sasoon salon

I went to the Vidal Sasoon salon. It is sometimes said that hairdressers in UK are not used to Asian hair therefore can not manage it. My Japanese friends use a hair salon which is specific for Japanese people.
However I decided to try an indigenous hair salon even if they are not good because I think if I choose Japanese salon, I lose the meaning of being here.
I need to take ever wxperience as much as I can!
I went there surely, but the shop was closed.

skate

I skated on an ice rink which is near the place I live now. The ice rink was so unique.
There were a mirror bowl on the ceiling and music, slightly similar to a night club.
To skate on ice in such a moody place was nice. Customers except us were all family groups because of Sunday.

Thief

I saw a thief. When I wan on a bus, a woman just in front of me said" your bag!".
I looked aside and saw a hand of man standing behind me was in my bag. He did not take anything. Actually I had nothing in my bag. He moved away from me, but he was still within two meater from me until the bus stop at the next stop. I saw him thinking that he was a thief. My lega are shaking with fear and I could not say anything. Even after I came home, I could not wipe my fear. I thought I should have some wine to finish today as soon as possible because alcohole makes me sleepy. I drunk some wine and I was drunken. Suddenly, fire alarm started warning! Whenever fire alarm warns, we need to go out and stay in the garden. Usually fire alarm is misinformation. I was complaing why fire alarm had to warn on that particular day!
I went out without other choices. When I went out, I found out what a lovely cool breeze!

irritation

I lost my wrist watch in my room. I bought it when I traveled to NY, and it wa 97.5% off. I bought it at the price of $10, but regular price was $400. Somebody might say only $10 watch, I do not need to be depressed, but it was my favorite and it is difficult to find 97.5% off watch.
Now I wear a gijital watch, which is not my favorite. This watch shows me Japanese time instead of UK time, beause I do not know how to change it. Anyway, I'll eat some sweet to cheer me up.
