Missing Japanese Cherryblossom.

Well...this time, I will write this posting in English.

Why? Just I want to do this,

because I have studied abroad?

The answer is NO.

I have written this blog in Japanese for my friends in Japan

to make them imformed that I am fine and I enjoy my life here in Norway.

Then, why?

 

It is only some quirk.

 

Anyway...

 

Yes. It has passed 7 months since I left Japan for Norway.

I cannot believe that time flies so fast.

 

As you see in my past postings, I really enjoy myself in Oslo, Norway or I mean around the Europe.

I have been to Italy, France, England, Sweden, Czech, Germany, Spain and Denmark so far.

 

Do you know the average of countries where Japanese people would visit in their life?

It is about 6 counties.

 

Still, in Japan to travel oversea is not so much common like Europians,

since flight ticket is expensive and it takes a long long time to get in America or Europe.

 

So, I would like to have a lot of journey this semester also.

Do you want to join me?

 

I like to travel and meet new people there.

I also like to talk with them and get some motivation or inspiration in the countries.

Well... what are motivation and inspiration to me?

 

Motivation is that new things and people make me noticed that I am ignorant about the world.

However, it is the reason to study and know about the world. Since I came to Europe, if I have free time, I read newspaper and study world history. It is very interesting.

 

I really appreciate the people I met while travelling.

My world view is widen now. haha

 

 

Some people ask me that I miss Japan.

 

Umm....to be honest, I miss Japanese cherry blossom.

 

Here are some pictures I took in last spring.

 

 

 

 

 

I like this season. We can see PINK PINK PINK everywhere.

Cherryblossom is not Japanse national flower, but it represents Japanese nationality and identity.

Yes, I agree with this. We tresure season. Our culture is to enjoy the changing of season whole a year.

But our culture is also to find the beautifulness which is hidden, not just we can see, from an aesthetic point of view. It is called wabisabi.

 

 

 

I feel spiritual in nature. Japanese people believe that gods are in everywhere such as nature.

I am not Christian or Buddhist, but I beleive spiritual things in nature.

I really love it.

 

 

 

 

However, I will unfortunently miss spring and early summer in Japan this year.

I will not be able to see them.

 

So if you do not mind, please send me some pictures, Okay :) ?
Or take me to see cherryblossom with you on Skype! hahaha

Well, I must finish this posting around here.
I shall take a shower and practice for presentation in Norwegian!

Wish me luck !


By for now ^^
