		<description><![CDATA[				前幾個星期因為看到課本上介紹江戶東京博物館~因為我很想去所以就抓了兩個同學陪我一起去~ XD
				江戶東京博物館在兩國車站附近~官網在這. 也有中文的介紹.
				
				圖多注意
				
				我們坐大江戶線到兩國車站下車~ (坐JR也可以到)
				
				出口Ａ3坐電梯上去
				
				因為博物館就在相撲國技館旁邊～所以可以看到很多跟相撲有關的東西.
				
				很壯觀的建築物～都不知道要怎樣照它&#8230;
				
				那綠色屋頂上面有個金色的東西那棟就是相撲國技館～
				
				學生票480円～　每張票上面的圖都不一樣～
				 
				坐手扶梯上去～有點記不清楚但是隧道兩邊的圖好像是越上面年代越遠～　圖中的人物的衣服好像越上面越古老～^^
				 
				一進去就可以看到複製的日本橋～　具老師說現在真正的日本橋還在不過很小一座, 而且上面還有高速公路所以很沒有氣勢. 所以可能在博物館裡面這個假的還比較有氣氛. XD 
				
				日本橋
				
				從橋上看到的風景
				
				裡面有很多江戶時代的模型. 不過因為光線很暗只有有標示閃光燈ok的地方才可以用閃光燈, 所以真的是很難照相. 
				 
				 
				江戶時代的大名坐的轎子～可以爬進去坐. 但是因為忘記用閃光燈所以黑成一片（笑）
				 
				 
				
				武士訓～而且全五冊喔～裡面似乎是有實例教你如何才是一個武士應該有的樣子. ＸＤ
				
				江戶百美人～ＸＤ
				 
				應該算是古代的畫冊吧～　^^
				
				我個人覺得這個還滿有意思的～　古早的料理書～
				
				
				
				
				 
				
				
				 
				 
				
				
				江戶街景模型～有個被打光打到過度曝光完全看不到表情的人（笑）
				 
				
				江戶時代商店的看板～
				
				 
				 
				我一開始以為他是賣糖葫蘆的, 但是後來熊熊地發現比例不對＝＿＝這糖葫蘆也太大顆了&#8230;比人頭還大～　應該是個賣燈籠的吧～^^
				
				 
				江戶時代的髮型&#8230;這個櫥窗在一個轉角～所以我一轉過去的時候嚇了一小跳&#8230;
				
				這樣熊熊一看還有點恐怖吧&#8230;(笑）
				
				
				 
				
				
				 
				
				
				 
				 
				 
				
				 
				 
				
				到此一遊
				
				差不多花了一個多小時逛博物館～因為我整天只吃了一顆蘋果所以超餓&#8230;不然我可能會逛久一點. 但是因為我實在是太餓了&#8230;.所以我們就決定去吃東西～　因朋友提議所以我們決定去吃相撲火鍋～～
				 
				相撲火鍋日文叫做「ちゃんこ鍋」。　附近好多餐廳啊～而且因為相撲國技館就在附近所以很多ちゃんこ鍋的餐廳~
				 
				包廂很小啊&#8230;
				
				火鍋有分等級～是用相撲的等級來取名～　我們叫的是橫綱火鍋（笑）因為我很想吃肉, 所以這個看起來肉很多～　一個人差不多2000円.
				 
				肉丸要自己做～　這個很好吃啊！應該是雞肉裡面加碎軟骨和雞蛋～　把這個攪均勻後弄成一球放到鍋裡～　好吃好吃～
				
				肉  
				
				超餓的還要等水滾～等到快要哭了～　水滾的之後把上面的肉弄到下面煮熟. 三角形的魚板很好吃喔～
				 
				朋友製作雞肉丸中. 然後最後朋友還叫了烏龍麵加到湯裡面～雖然提供的麵沒有很好但是吸了湯汁的烏龍麵還滿好吃的喔～  
				 
				我覺得江戶東京博物館還滿值得去的～尤其如果對日本歷史有興趣的話 ^^　東西還算滿多的～而且我覺得擺設設計的還不錯～除了江戶時代還有一些近代東京的東西. 然後最後就是, 相撲火鍋有機會的話去吃一下吧～雖然可能台灣的鴛鴦鍋更厲害（笑）但是試試看什麼是相撲火鍋還滿不錯的

				<p>I was actually a little nervous since I felt that the actual exam was harder then the practice exam we took at school, but thankfully I passed~ now I can focus on preparing for N1 exam and application for school. </p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100907_n2/01.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p><span id="more-2921"></span><br />
				the word 合格 is such a nice and pretty word. <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/th1218127131fk4.jpg' alt=':yaaaa:' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
				覺得&#8221;合格&#8221;真是個好字</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100907_n2/02.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>順帶一提, 最近我發現宿舍旁邊的房子的樓梯上常常有貓咪在睡覺~ 超可愛的~但是感覺目前還滿難親近的~每次我試著要聊天牠們都用厭煩的眼神看我 <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/naku01.gif' alt=':crying3:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
				<p>Totally random stuff, but I just noticed recently that sometimes there are cats resting on the stairway of the building next to ours. So cute~~~ I tried to talk to them but they just ignored me and continue to sleep~</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[				<p>上個星期去辦了再入國許可~ 現在因為日本的就學簽證要取消只剩留學簽證~所以申請再入國許可也變成只有6000円多次出入國。 不像之前有可以只申請一次的。</p>
				<p>Since I am going back to USA for a few days soon I had to go get the re-entry permit.  And Japan has changed the student Visa (there were two kinds and now only one is left), so the re-entry permit policy also changed.  Now you can only get the multiple entry type for 6000 yen, instead paying less for the one-time-only permit they had before.</p>
				<p>坐JR到品川車站下車~ 我因為聽說人會很多所以7:30就出門了~剛好遇到大家上班的時段, 山手線擠爆炸~XD;;;</p>
				<p>Took the JR train to the Shinagawa station.  I went there pretty early since my friend told me there would be a lot of people.  It was during the morning rush so the Yamanote line was filled with people. ^^;</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100830_reentry/01.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p><span id="more-2915"></span><br />
				從品川車站坐8號公車到東京入管局。<br />
				Take the #8 bus to the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau. </p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100830_reentry/02.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>車站都是上班族~<br />
				The station was filled with people who were going to work.</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100830_reentry/03.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>坐公車大概10分鐘以內到.<br />
				Under 10 mins from the station to the office by bus.</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100830_reentry/04.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>要去入國管理局的人很多~所以應該不用擔心坐錯XD 旁邊還有一位警察伯伯可以問他問題~<br />
				The line for the bus to the Immigration Bureau was long so I guess people don&#8217;t really have to worry about standing in the wrong line.</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100830_reentry/05.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>到了之後就填個申請表然後去一樓的便利商店(在入管局裡面)繳6000円~ 他會給你兩張像郵票的東西~你再把那東西貼在另一張繳費證明書上面(在再入國的窗口前面可以拿)就可以拿一張號碼~等到號碼被叫到~把兩張單子+護照+外國人登陸證交給窗口的人就可以了~</p>
				<p>After you filled in the application form, you have to go to the convenience store on the first floor of the building to pay the 6000 yen for the permit.  They will give you two stamp-like voucher for you to paste on the proof of payment form, which could be obtained on the second floor, in front of the re-entry permit counter.  Then just take a number and wait for your number to be called. All you need is the application form + payment form (with the expensive voucher pasted on it) + passport + foreigner registration card. </p>

				They will paste a sticker on your passport and you&#8217;re done. A very expensive sticker by the way. ^^;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[				<p>This happened about a month ago, but everyone that knows me knows that I&#8217;m lazy&#8230;so here it is! finally, the summer fireworks show of Japan~</p>
				<p>Every summer from July to the end of August or the start of September, there are a lot of firework shows in Japan.  The one we went to was held at Sumida river near Asakusa.  It&#8217;s a pretty big one and lots of people attend every year. </p>
				<p>I brought my camera with the battery fully charged, but when I was about to take a photo, I realized that I didn&#8217;t put in the memory card&#8230;so I stole all the photos from my friends&#8217; Facebook album XDDD.</p>
				<p>一個月前左右，我跟朋友們一起去了隅田川的煙火大會~原本要在淺草附近找位置的~但是我們很天真所以沒有事前去佔位子&#8230;這場煙火大會(第33回)算是東京很有名的吧. 聽說去年有94萬人參加~煙火總共有2萬發。 </p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100731_fireworks/00.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p><span id="more-2895"></span><br />
				弄到最後沿著隅田川走了一個多小時到南千住的一個河濱公園~ 到了之後我才發現相機沒有裝記憶卡。 <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon47.gif' alt=':throwtable:' class='wp-smiley' /> 實在是很想把自己掐死。 總之所有照片都是偷朋友FB相簿裡面的照片&#8230;</p>
				<p>煙火大會是7:30pm開始，我們差不多3:30pm左右從淺草開始走~弄到四點半過後才到~好險我跟朋友沒有穿木屐不然腳一定廢掉&#8230;.T-T</p>
				<p>You probably have to start looking for seats a few days before the event&#8230;=_= but as naive as we were, we went around 3pm that day while the event starts around 7:30pm.  There were no seats around Asakusa, so we kept walking along the Sumida river&#8230;After walking for about 1.5 hour  <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/naku01.gif' alt=':crying3:' class='wp-smiley' /> We finally found a spot in a park at Minami Senju 南千住.</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100731_fireworks/03.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>如果那天我沒有一直灌寶礦力的話應該已經脫水死在途中。  順帶一提, 浴衣跟一般我們說的和服不一樣~ 浴衣是只有夏天穿的, 或是民宿/溫泉旅館裡面穿的。  比和服薄而且穿和服的時候的木屐跟浴衣的木屐不一樣~ 穿和服的時候要穿特別的襪子而浴衣不用~~ 老師說浴衣非常地不正式, 跟和服比起來就像是西裝跟牛仔褲。</p>
				<p>Since my friend and I wore yukata, it was very hot.  If I didn&#8217;t drink sports drink I would probably die of dehydration or get a heatstroke.  Different from kimono, yukata is for summer or sometimes you can find them at the inn in Japan, where you can wear it to go to the hot springs.  Our teacher said yukata is very informal compared to kimono.  It&#8217;s a close equivalent as jeans compared to suits. =)</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100731_fireworks/04.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>and by the way, the round fan we were holding is called uchiwa/団扇.  And my friend, the guy on the right side, was wearing a type of Japanese clothes called &#8220;jinbei/甚平&#8221; and not a yukata.  Jinbei is not one piece like the yukata, but a top wear with a shorts that you can move easily as compared to yukata&#8230;which was a little hard to walk around for me. LOL</p>
				<p>再順帶一提~相片中最右邊的朋友穿的不是和服也不是浴衣~而是種衣服叫做&#8221;甚平&#8221;。不像浴衣跟和服是一件式的, 甚平下半身是短褲~方便行走跑跳。XD 那天也有看到一些妹妹是穿甚平~ 不過大部分穿浴衣的妹妹還是打扮的超級閃亮(笑)</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100731_fireworks/01.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>the weather was very hot&#8230;T-T<br />
				天氣好熱&#8230;只能狂喝水。</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100731_fireworks/05.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>must&#8230;play&#8230;.games&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;<br />
				那天我帶了NDS, PSP 還有我的手機~ 所以在等待的兩個多小時裡就來打了一下電動。</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100731_fireworks/06.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100731_fireworks/07.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100731_fireworks/08.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100731_fireworks/09.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>It was a little embarrassing at first wearing yukata and walking towards the train station, but you&#8217;ll get used to it soon, and especially after you saw A LOT of people wearing yukata. ^^ It&#8217;s a pretty interesting experience for me to experience the Japanese culture of firework viewing.  </p>
				<p>剛開始穿著浴衣從宿舍走到車站時感覺有點不好意思~ 但是漸漸就習慣了。 尤其是後來看到好多人都穿著浴衣~而且打扮的超花的~就覺得好像也沒有怎麼樣。^^  這次的浴衣花火大會體驗還滿有趣的。既然來到了日本還是應該多體驗這種在日本才能體驗的事情。 不然整天做跟在自己國家也能做的事情不就浪費了這個留學的機會了嗎?</p>
				<p>Btw, I waited 30min for the restroom because there were so many people&#8230;. <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/naku01.gif' alt=':crying3:' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
				順帶一提, 人果然超多&#8230;上個廁所也讓我等了半個小時&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[				<p>學校放了一個星期的暑假, 所以我跟朋友們一起去了一趟輕井澤。 其實原本是想要去日光一泊旅行的~ 但是因為最近實在是太熱了, 所以改去輕井澤避暑。 輕井澤離東京坐新幹線差不多一個多小時的避暑聖地~ <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/diary_icon01_09.gif' alt=':flowerrrr:' class='wp-smiley' />  早期外國人和傳教士來日本時因為天氣太熱而且因為輕井澤類似自己的故鄉~所以在這裡建造了別墅來避暑。  之後許多有錢人XD也紛紛效法建起了別墅~ 我們沿路上看到好多廣告牌是在賣地的還有別墅的房屋仲介。</p>
				<p>Our school had an one week summer break so my friends and I used this chance to visit Karuizawa. It&#8217;s about 1 hour away from Tokyo by Shinkansen train.  Karuizawa is a famous summer resort in Japan; there are lots of people that owns mansion in the area. It was definitely cooler than Tokyo and was filled with people when we went there.</p>
				<p>We took the 7:56 train from Ueno station towards karuizawa and arrived there around 9:20 or so. This is the photo </p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/00.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>除了自己照的相片以外, 還從朋友那偷了幾張(笑) 圖多請注意。 <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/th011mg1.gif' alt=':grraw:' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
				Other than the pictures I took myself, I stole a few from my friends.<br />
				<span id="more-2877"></span></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/01.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>We took the sightseeing bus at the #2 bus stop.  The bus tour is from 10am - 3:30pm for 4000yen.  We were lucky that there were still spaces for us that day. ^^<br />
				二號公車的乘車處可以搭觀光巴士。 從早上10出發到3:30結束; 每個人4000日幣。 </p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/02.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/03.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/04.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/05.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/06.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/07.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>淺間火山博物館。 我覺得如果對於火山沒有特別興趣的人可以不用進去&#8230;裡面沒有什麼特別的東西。 但是外面的散步道很不錯~直得走走。<br />
				We went to the Asama Volcano Museum.  It was ok, not very exciting for me but there is a trail in the back of the museum that has a great view~ too bad we didn&#8217;t have enough time to walk around because we spent too much time in the museum&#8230;</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/08.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>買了門票還得到一張&#8221;火山探檢隊員認定證&#8221;~ 背面還有寫著隊員編號。XD<br />
				雖然覺得有點好笑~可是背面寫了幾句話我覺得還不錯。<br />
				&#8221;<br />
				私たちは地球の美しい自然を大切にします。<br />
				私たちは、毎日いろいろな事に好奇心を持つ事を忘れません。<br />
				私たちは、冒険心と勇気を持ち続けます。<br />
				そして未来に、大きな夢を持つ事を忘れません。<br />
				&#8230;<br />
				&#8221;</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/08_2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>這是在火山博物館裡面的餐廳. 招牌麵是一個叫做&#8221;鬼蕎麥麵&#8221;的東西。 </p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/09.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>我點的是&#8221;鬼烏龍麵&#8221;。吃完真的是讓我覺得&#8221;這是什麼鬼?&#8221;&#8230;果然名副其實. 就是很清淡的烏龍麵上面放了裹了很厚的粉的香菇天婦羅~ 也許是我有眼不視泰山,也許這是當地很有名的麵? 但是還是覺得這個要700円也太貴了吧&#8230;</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/10.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/11.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>吃完還是有種空虛的感覺&#8230;</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/12.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>火山博物館裡面的地球模型; 我覺得好像半熟的蛋~</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/13.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>突然出現在山中的機車博物館~^^; </p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/14.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/15.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>從這個樓梯上去可以去散步道~</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/16.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/17.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>突然出現的荒廢建築物&#8230;=_= 超恐怖的~破爛又在懸崖邊~ 很像鬼屋&#8230;</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/18.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/19.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>火山博物館之後出發前往&#8221;白糸の滝&#8221;~ 這真是個漂亮的地方~可惜時間有點短, 人有點多。 如果下次自己來的話要待久一點~</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/20.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>在東京待了差不多五個月左右，好久沒看見這麼多綠色了。^^</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/21.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/22.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/23.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/24.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/25.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/26.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/27.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/28.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/29.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>當地名產~鹿肉包子 ^^; 鹿肉包子我們沒人試不過有朋友買了鹽烤魚~看起來很好吃~~~~</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/30.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>接下來去了&#8221;旧三笠旅館&#8221;~這旅館是日本重要的文化遺產。 是目前現存的日本唯一的木製的純西洋式旅館。</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/31.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/32.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/33.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/34.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>旧三笠旅館之後請他們讓我們一行人在舊輕銀座下車~開始我們自己亂晃的時間~<br />
				這個商場叫Church Street, 附近有幾間天主教教堂。 </p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/35.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>一間小小的教堂</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/36.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/37.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>許多人帶著他們的狗來散步~ 有很多人養大型犬^^<br />
				希望他們是附近的居民..我想如果是養在東京應該狗狗會熱死吧&#8230;.^^;;</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/38.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>沿路上有很多有意思的店~</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/39.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>在商店街的尾端的一間賣貓咪的周邊商品的店~~居然有看到我的鉛筆袋~XD</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/40.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>這張是偷我朋友的照片~ 是布丁果醬。 現在覺得有點可惜當初沒有買一個~還滿有意思的, 而且看起來很可愛啊~</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/42.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>沿路上有很多賣果醬跟蜂蜜的店~種類超級多的. 照片裡面的這間店有提供小餅乾讓客人塗果醬試吃。 很好吃啊!=口= 我忍不住吃了很多個&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/43.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>逛完店就開始往車站的地方走去。 走了差不多40分鐘左右吧~腿都要斷了=_=<br />
				沿路上有許多有趣的商店~</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/44.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>畫廊</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/45.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>台灣料理店XD</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/47.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>婚紗攝影店~可能是因為輕井澤的風景很好吧, 附近看到了好多間婚紗攝影的店~~</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/48.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>終於回到車站了~我腿也差不多廢了~ 而且我們大家也差不多都餓了~<br />
				一邊走一邊碎碎念著想趕快座下來吃東西~</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/49.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/50.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/51.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/52.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>因為我一直吵著要吃肉~所以大家就很好心地讓我吃了韓國烤肉。結果又吃太多了=_=|||</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/53.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/54.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>海苔真好吃~ <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/diary_icon01_09.gif' alt=':flowerrrr:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/55.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>吃完飯後就在車站附近的一片outlet逛店~不過很多店都是超高級的。就算是outlet價格也是買不下去XDD 真不愧是輕井澤~有錢人的度假區。^^;</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/56.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/57.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>回程大家一上車就昏迷了~超級安靜~感覺車上只有我在打PSP的聲音~XD</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/58.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="pic/20100814_karuizawa/59.jpg" alt="" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[				<p>Today is a holiday in Japan, which is called Umi no Hi/海の日 (Sea Day). Our teacher told us that this holiday was created because July didn&#8217;t have a holiday while all the other months have breaks. XD  Since today we got a day off, I went to the experience course at Nihon Kogakuin College for the day.  It was super hot&#8230;..</p>
				<p>今天日本放假~ 海の日~ 之前上課的時候老師說這個假日是因為七月原本沒有假日, 所以為了讓每個月都有假日而創了這個海の日~ <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/momo-14.gif' alt=':nyaaa:' class='wp-smiley' />  因為今天不用上課所以我就跑去日本工學院專門學校參加體驗入學. 實在是熱斃了&#8230;.狂灌寶礦力~</p>

				The school is located at Hachiouji 八王子, which is about 1.5 hour away from Tokyo, so I woke up around 6:30 today.  I knew the school is big, but I didn&#8217;t expect it to be THIS big&#8230;a student told me that it&#8217;s the same size as Disneyland. XD </p>
				<p>日本工學院有三個校區~今天去的是八王子校區.  離東京差不多一小時多一點~ 所以今天六點半就起床了&#8230;之前就知道這個校區很大, 但是沒想到這麼大.  今天遇到的學生說學校跟東京迪士尼一樣大&#8230;真的是蠻大的XD|||</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100719_kougakuinn/02.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>A lot of the buildings look pretty new~ and the wide open spaces reminds me of Universities in the US. Haven&#8217;t been to a wide open space in a while&#8230;there&#8217;s not that much empty space in Tokyo. ^^;</p>
				<p>很多建築物看起來都滿新的~ 而且廣大的空間讓我想起普度的校園~ 很久沒有到空曠的地方了~東京實在很難找到空曠的地方Orz.</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100719_kougakuinn/03.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>I went to the whole day course. 2 hours in the morning + free lunch + 2 hours in the afternoon.  I like the teachers and the students I met a lot.  One of the teacher I met today worked on some background for Final Fantasy X.  I recognized the scenes that he worked on when he showed them to us~ pretty cool. XD</p>
				<p>今天去了一日的體驗~ 早上2小時+免費午餐+下午2小時~ 遇到的老師和學生給我的感覺都還不錯~跟之前去的另一間學校相比起來好滿多的. 今天遇到的一個老師有做過太空戰士10的場景~ 老師秀他的作品給我們看的時候我都認得那些場景~感覺很酷~</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100719_kougakuinn/04.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>We also get to visit the motion capture studio at the school.  They said it&#8217;s the second largest motion capture studio in Japan, so sometimes some professionals would come and use it. =)</p>
				<p>今天還去參觀了他們的motion capture studio, 中文不知道怎樣講(汗). 聽說是日本第二大的所以常常也有專業的人來用~</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100719_kougakuinn/05.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>Overall I like the school a lot and am considering of applying, but I&#8217;m gonna go to see 2 other schools before I make the decision~~ It&#8217;s gonna be busy these few months~  <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/4a46b55dbf6f9233762ae.gif' alt=':weirddance:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
				<p>整體上我還滿喜歡學校的氣氛的~ 不過在確定申請前還要再去看另外兩間學校. 這幾個月應該會滿忙的&#8230;Orz~不過雖然忙還滿有趣的~也可以練習日文~XD</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100719_kougakuinn/06.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100719_kougakuinn/07.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>Btw, Starbucks changed their menu for the hot summer season and there&#8217;s a new Yuzu/Grapefruit + Green Tea Frappucchino which is very delicious <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/diary_icon01_01.gif' alt=':looooveeee:' class='wp-smiley' /> ~~ Bought one on my way back home today.<br />
				順帶一提~Starbucks換了夏季的menu~有新的很好喝的柚子綠茶冰沙:looooveeee:~已經連續喝了三次了~今天實在是太熱所以又去喝了~XD</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[				<p>I took the Japanese Language Proficiency Test N2 level exam on 7/4.<br />
				我7/4號時去考了日文能力試驗第二級..那天真的是熱斃了. 山手線又擠滿人..回到家時都快要吐了=_=</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100712/01.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p><span id="more-2848"></span><br />
				The exam system was changed this year, and we were the first one to take the new exam. =_=; Previously, you just need to get 60% of the total score to pass, but now you need to get 60% on each section to pass.<br />
				今年JLPT的考試制度剛改&#8230;=_= 之前只要總分及格就可以但是現在每個部分都要及格才行. 讓我很擔心文法部分啊&#8230; <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/4a46b55d1e5a330526197.gif' alt=':ahh:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
				<p>Personally I feel that the grammar part is harder than the simulation exam given by the school.  But thankfully, the listening part was about the same.<br />
				個人感覺文法部分,考試比模擬考要難&#8230;不過聽力好像差不多, 雖然感覺說話速度好像比模擬考時快一點點.</p>
				<p>But anyways, what is done is done~ XD the results would be mailed out around September. (I don&#8217;t know why it takes 2 months to get the results mailed to us&#8230;when the answers were all marked on scantron. =_=) If I don&#8217;t pass then I&#8217;ll take it again in December, if I pass then I&#8217;ll try the N1 exam then. XD;<br />
				不過反正都考完了, 結果要到九月才會知道&#8230;=_= 如果沒過就只好12月再考一次~ 如果過了的話12月就想要試試看一級. 雖然感覺希望有點渺茫(笑). 但是不做就不知道~ 所以給他考下去就是了~~</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100712/02.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>Random stuff, our teacher said she went to Kyoto and had fun while we are taking the exam. XD She brought some candy(金太郎飴) to class for us.<br />
				佐藤老師說她在我們水深火熱地考能力試驗的時候, 到京都去玩了(笑). 第一天上課的時候帶了金太郎糖給我們~</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100712/03.jpg" alt="" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[				<p>On 6/27 my friend and I went to a Taiwanese restaurant in Akihabara. The store&#8217;s website is <a href="http://www.chi-pai.com/" target="_new">here</a></p>
				<p>前一陣子我跟好友一起去了傳說中的<a href="http://www.chi-pai.com/" target="_new">秋葉雞排</a>~</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100627_chipai/01.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p><span id="more-2841"></span><br />
				The store is really small and only has about 6 seats.  There&#8217;s not many items on the menu but enough to bring back the memories of trips back to Taiwan. XD The Chi-Pai, which is a fried chicken fillet with lots of white pepper~ is a famous snack/food in Taiwan.</p>
				<p>店面其實很小~差不多六個座位而已~ 菜單也很少但是一吃就讓我想起回台灣玩的時候~ </p>
				<p>There were lots of notes left by the customers~ it was a lot of fun to read.<br />
				留言板上面有來過的人留的留言~ 不只是台灣人有留言, 韓國人, 日本人&#8230;不同國家的人都稱讚雞排好吃(笑)~ 真是感激老闆在秋葉原開了這間店.</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100627_chipai/02.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>&#8220;Place that Otaku must visit.&#8221; XD Well, the store is next to a maid cafe actually~<br />
				店的隔壁是一間很粉紅色的女僕咖啡廳~ XD</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100627_chipai/03.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>The menu~ it also has the tea-boiled egg that&#8217;s a very common food in Taiwan. And of course, the tapioca drinks that you&#8217;ll see everywhere in Taiwan~<br />
				有米粉還有茶葉蛋~ </p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100627_chipai/04.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>The minced pork with rice that&#8217;s also very common in Taiwan. It tastes pretty good~~<br />
				滷肉飯~ 跟台灣的味道有一點點不一樣但是很好吃!</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100627_chipai/05.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>我朋友點的了一份蘿蔔糕~ 我沒有偷吃但是聽說跟台灣的有點不一樣~<br />
				My friend ordered the daikon radish cake. She said it&#8217;s a bit different than the ones in Taiwan; this one tastes more like mochi. XD</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100627_chipai/06.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>The chicken fillet set comes with fries. I wanted to advise that using sweet potato would make it even more Taiwan-ish~~<br />
				我有點想建議說~用地瓜會更有台灣味XD 有點想吃頂呱呱&#8230;</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100627_chipai/07.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>Then of course we gotta try the tapioca milk tea. It&#8217;s very good~ it wasn&#8217;t very sweet so I like it very much.<br />
				珍珠奶茶還滿好喝的~~不會太甜~ </p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100627_chipai/08.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>Then last but not least, the chicken fillet. Very good~ very much like the Taiwanese taste.<br />
				雞排很好吃~~灑了很多白胡椒我很愛~~ </p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100627_chipai/09.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>When we went there, there was a Japanese guy sitting next to us. After he heard us speaking in Chinese, he asked if we came from Taiwan and we started to chat about the food and Taiwan.  He expressed that he like Taiwan very much~<br />
				我們旁邊坐了一位日本人先生~他聽到我們用中文交談後就主動問我們是不是台灣人，之後就開始邊吃邊閒聊了起來。他說台灣人很有人情味他很喜歡，而且台灣的食物很好吃~  <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/th011mg1.gif' alt=':grraw:' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
				<p>希望大家有機會去吃吃看~ 離JR秋葉原站很近~ 不用五分鐘就走到了~ ^^</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[				<p>Even though the Japanese proficiency exam is coming up soon&#8230;my friends and I decided to go to a butler cafe today.  The store is called Swallowtail and their homepage is <a href="http://www.butlers-cafe.jp/" target="_new">here</a>.</p>
				<p>雖然說日語能力測驗的日子一天一天逼近了~ 我今天和好友還是一起去了執事咖啡~ 店名叫做&#8221;執事喫茶 Swallowtail&#8221;, 網站在<a href="http://www.butlers-cafe.jp/" target="_new">這裡</a>.</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100623/03.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p><span id="more-2824"></span></p>
				<p>We&#8217;ve been thinking about it for a long time and today we finally did it.  When I told my Japanese friends about &#8216;butler cafe&#8217; they didn&#8217;t know what I was talking about&#8230;and thought I meant to say &#8216;hituji（羊）&#8217; than &#8217;shitsuji(執事)&#8217;.  So I had to explain that it&#8217;s a girl&#8217;s version of a maid cafe&#8230;LOL.  </p>
				<p>其實去執事咖啡以經算是想了很久~ 多虧朋友也想要去~不然我自己應該是不好意思自己去^^;;; 話說跟日本朋友提起執事咖啡都沒有人聽過這種東西(笑) 有個朋友還以為我是要說&#8217;hituji（羊）&#8217; 而不是 &#8217;shitsuji(執事)&#8217;&#8230;他說我們都去過貓咖啡了, 搞不好也有羊咖啡這種地方~ </p>
				<p>The cafe is located in Ikebukuro 池袋, which is also where the &#8216;otome road&#8217; is located.  Otome road is just a street that has lots of stores selling otome related goods.  The store is below a doujinshi store not far from the Animate(famous store that sells all kinds of manga/anime and seiyuu stuff) building. </p>
				<p>這間店在乙女街的所在地~池袋~ 離車站差不多15分鐘左右~ 在一間同人誌書店的地下一樓.<br />
				As much as I wanted to take photos&#8230;no photos inside~  <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/th123ha6.gif' alt=':tyyyy:' class='wp-smiley' /> so I can only take photos of the outside&#8230;=_=|||<br />
				雖然說我超想拍照的, 可是相機跟手機完全禁止~ 所以只能出來的時候拍招牌 ^^;;</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100623/02.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>The store requires reservation 15 days before the day you want to go.  An interesting thing is when I confirm the reservation online it had me choose what we would like to be called (such as お嬢様） and what we would like them to say when we leave (a funny option is &#8220;your horse carriage is ready&#8221; or something like that LOL).  And they don&#8217;t say &#8220;welcome to our store / いらっしゃいませ&#8221;, instead they say &#8220;welcome home / お帰りなさいませ、お嬢様&#8221;. LOL</p>
				<p>去之前15天左右要先預約~ 有趣的是上網確認預約的時候會被問說希望如何被稱呼XDDD 最多人選的應該還是&#8221;大小姐&#8221;~ 其他還有&#8221;夫人&#8221;XDD 可能如果你年紀大一點覺得被稱呼為大小姐會歹勢~就可以選夫人(笑) 另外還有&#8221;少爺&#8221;之類的~ 有點忘記了.  除此之外, 還要選擇離開的時候希望他們說什麼~ 類似像是&#8221;您要出門啦&#8221;之類的~ 還有像是&#8221;馬車已經準備好了&#8221;之類的~ </p>
				<p>然後當然進門的時候, 站在那歡迎你的執事們不說&#8221;歡迎光臨&#8221;而說的是&#8221;您回來啦,大小姐&#8221;. 雖然還滿不好意思的^^;;; 但是還是有微微的心花怒放的感覺~(笑) 歡迎你進去的執事跟後來幫你服務的執事是不同人~ 但是我覺得都很帥啊~XD 順帶一提, 一開始的執事我覺得感覺有點像更帥一點的入野自由~</p>
				<p>There a reservation board outside the store and it&#8217;s all full when we got there.  And today is not a holiday nor weekend&#8230;.^^;<br />
				出來的時候順便照了一下預約的看板~ 太厲害了&#8230;今天沒有放假也不是週末但是全部爆滿&#8230;怎麼這們多閒人跟我們一樣? 只能說乙女POWER太強了&#8230;.. </p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100623/01.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>*I do not own this picture, it&#8217;s from their webpage. 官網上面的照片</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100623/04.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>*I do not own this picture, it&#8217;s from their webpage. 官網上面的照片<br />
				This is the set that I ordered. 這是我點的. 雖然完全沒有服務費之類的, 但是每個人都得點一個set~</p>
				<p align="center"><img src="/pic/20100623/05.jpg" alt="" /></p>
				<p>I ordered an afternoon tea set called Anna Maria (2800 yen) and asked our footman if I could just take the picture of our food&#8230;but he said no photos even if it&#8217;s just the food..  <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/th123ha6.gif' alt=':tyyyy:' class='wp-smiley' />  The food is actually really good~ and their jam is super good~~ I think they have a separate pastry shop close by and you can buy scones and maybe their jam there. </p>
				<p>我點了2800日幣的下午茶set, Anna Maria. 還滿好吃的~尤其是果醬~~ 話說他們另外有一間店是在賣他們的糕點~ </p>
				<p>The set has 3 plates&#8230;every time I finish one plate he would come and ask which one I would like to eat next and change it for me.  It&#8217;s kinda embarrassing to be served XDDD;;;; but I guess that&#8217;s the whole point of butler cafe~ </p>
				<p>那個set有三層~每次我吃完一層負責我們這桌的執事就會來問說&#8221;大小姐,請問您接下來想吃哪一個?&#8221; 然後幫我拿下來. 其實真的是很不好意思。但是因為想說既來之則安之&#8230;LOL</p>
				<p>The butler and footman there would carry your bags, pour tea for you..etc, and use very proper keigo/敬語(honorific form Japanese).  Sometimes the honorific form is too hard and I couldn&#8217;t understand XDDDDD.  The footman responsible for our table was the type that I like LOL and very good looking in my opinion~ so I&#8217;m all happy~ <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/diary_icon01_01.gif' alt=':looooveeee:' class='wp-smiley' />  but my friend preferred another type XD.  </p>
				<p>所有的執事當然都一直用敬語跟你說話~ 讓我有時候聽不太懂而露出很愚蠢的表情(笑) 順帶一提~負責我們這桌的執事很符合我的喜好~ <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/diary_icon01_01.gif' alt=':looooveeee:' class='wp-smiley' /> 長得高,短頭髮~整個人感覺很整齊(笑)~個人覺得他是個好青年(笑) 雖然說跟我同桌的朋友比較喜歡另外一型&#8230;似乎是頭髮要長過耳朵~比較像是漫畫裡的人~ 但是我個人對我們的執事很滿意~ <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/diary_icon01_01.gif' alt=':looooveeee:' class='wp-smiley' />  (笑)</p>
				<p>They had a little bell on the table that you could ring if you want to call them&#8230;which was pretty much when you wanted to do anything.  From ordering food, want them to pour tea, change your plate&#8230; to lead you to the bathroom. LOL  I was kinda embarrassed to ring the bell and had him pour tea for me so I did it once myself, and maybe he noticed so he kept observing our table and whenever I almost finish the tea or the plate of food he would come and change it. XDD</p>
				<p>每個桌上都有一個鈴~ 讓你要叫執事過來的時候用~ 而那基本上就是你要做任何事情都要搖鈴叫他們(笑) 從要他們幫你拿下一盤東西, 杯子裡的茶喝完了要添, 到要去廁所他們也會帶領你去(笑).  但是我真的是不好意思搖那個鈴&#8230;..因為盤子就在自己面前, 茶壺也在面前&#8230;手沒斷的都可以自己來, 所以就自己偷偷倒了一次茶(笑) 但是後來我們這桌的執事會一直注意看看我們是不是杯子,盤子快要空了, 然後就會自己出現來服務.  <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/th001xw3.gif' alt=':jtjwt:' class='wp-smiley' /> 真是個好青年(笑)</p>
				<p>I was a very interesting experience and if my friends visit me in Tokyo and wanted to go I would definitely take them.  One of my Japanese friend said I kept going to all the weird places like maid cafe, neko cafe an,d now butler cafe~ LOL I know it&#8217;s all weird&#8230;but..but it&#8217;s fun \(^^)/~ so there will probably be more to come~  <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/4a46b55d31e8dc4532e1f.gif' alt=':ohohoho:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
				<p>感覺男生穿西裝好像就會突然變帥, 尤其今天看到的所有執事都穿燕尾服. 就莫名的覺得所有的人都很帥(笑)</p>
				<p>我覺得今天是個很有趣的經驗~以後朋友來找我玩如果有興趣的話~我應該會帶他們去這間執事咖啡~ 很有意思~而且心情會很好~~~(笑)</p>
				<p>我的日本朋友說我跟好朋友兩人一直去一些很奇怪的地方~像是女僕咖啡廳啦~貓咖啡啦~到今天的執事咖啡~ 我也知道我很怪啦~但是&#8230;就真的很好玩嘛~~~~  <img src='http://monologuestudio.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/th131xu2.gif' alt=':kyaa:' class='wp-smiley' /> 所以以後也會繼續去一些奇奇怪怪的地方~(笑)</p>
