7 wonder things

When I came to Australia, I noticed few different things in here compare to my country(
Japan).
I think all migrants have this experience when they come to here . So, here is mine.

I lived with Australian girl for few month. Firstly, I was surprised that how she washed dishes in kitchen. She just put water in sink with washing soap and washed dishes in sink. After washed dishes she just let dishes dry on kitchen towel without rinse ! Isn't there still soap on dishes?
And it might be no good for human body? I asked her why she doen't rinse dishes.

She said 'all kitchen soaps in Australia are no harmful because they are made by natural products.' ??? I don't know the truth yet.

Another thing is that here is hardly find vending machines. We can buy many things on the street such as coffee, soft drinks,cigarette,noodles, beers , ice creams. I can't buy these in here.
I asked friend 'Why here is no vending machines?'

His answer was ' It might be stolen if these staff are on the street' I don't know the truth yet.

There are more different things I find. I'll tell you more next time.

funny story?

We have a writing class on Thursday. Today, teacher passed paper to us that have funny stories in English.

I was thinking about my mistake I made on English.
This is true story.

When I was working in city office, I was working as a receptionist at Optometrist, it happened around 4PM. We ( Optometrist and me) were just waiting a patient who had appointment at 4:30.
Suddenly we heard big bell which is fire alarm and we were told to go outside . I called to patient and told her that she have to cancel an appointment because we didn't know how long takes for this emergency evacuation.

Luckily, we were allowed to back to work after 40 minutes. I send a text to my friend '
We were evacuated because of bum!'

I could imagine the reaction of my friend when she read this message .

Yes, there was a suspect about BOMB!
Now, I never misspell the BOMB to BUM because of this mistake.

This is me


I like to do drawing. This is a one of my hobby.
I started drawing after I became crazy about to read Japanese comics. I like to draw all comics characters, such as POKEMON ,ASTRO BOY, INU YASHA etc.

I just started to draw real persons from last year.
Although I never had been learned from drawing course I enjoy to draw after got some ideas of technique from book .
I 'm studying English and I don't have much time to do it now.
I like to do more drawing after I finish this course . I believe that just keep practcing is important to improve drawing.

shopping

I went to Pyrmont today because I had appointment to pick up a stuff .

I bought a FOOT SPA through by e-bay.I paid only $3 for this second hand one.I was thinking to buy a new footspa but I checked e-bay and found this. I was surprised after I won to buy this .

The lady who sold this to me is very nice young lady. She is moving from parent house to own place and just want to get rid off some stuff .This is the one of them. It is true that is a big stuff and take a much space to put away.

After I came home, I washed and used it . Actually my son tried it first.

He loves it.(^^)
I like to use it too. It is just a little bit noisy and takes a time to wash it.

Maybe I don't use much in summer time. It will be more for next winter, I think.

If somebody want to try FOOTSPA, ask to me!(^^)

Rozelle Market

It was a freezing and rainy day on yesterday. I worried about weather because I was planning to go to Rozelle market today.
I woke up 6am this morning. surprisingly, after heavy rainy days it was fine today.
I arrived to Rozelle market around 9am. My friend sells Japanese pizza(Japanese name is OKONOMIYAKI) in there every Sunday.
My friend let me sell some of my stuff under her tent.

I try to sell some of DOG CLOTHES. There were a lot of dogs came but unfortunately nobody want buy my dog clothes. At the end of the day, I sold none.

Anyway, I had a good time with my friend and enjoyed market.
I like to go to market. People who are selling stuff in there are very friendly and I like to talk to them. It is good practice for me to speak English to others.

The other thing is that it makes me happy when I get a good stuff with a little money.

Here is my tip! Don't forget to ask them to discount.

shocking

I've just got e-mail from my friend who is living in Japan.
The one of my friend,I knew her since I was 10years old. Sadly, she passed away today. She was suffered from gastric cancer.
She is same age as me, we went to same Junior high school. I haven't see her after finished school for long time but I heard about her from other friend.
I saw her early this year when I went to Japan and had good time with some other friends.
I'm still in shock and so sad about lost her.
Even the other friend is shocked too because she didn't tell to anybody about her condition.

I just pray for her to sleep in peace.

I went to BONDI BEACH to have lunch with my friends yesterday.
It was beautiful day to walk on beach side and was actually warm out side.There were people in water to swim and some people were laying on sand without tops.

Today, again! It was a warm and beautiful day.
I love this weather . Maybe I should start walking again.
