Thanksgiving Day

Hey, everyone!
Tell me you are not in Bombay or bumpping into the riot at Thai airports!
Stay home and have a good time with your family!

Love,
Naomi

朝、眠い。。。

今朝、起きるのが辛かった。。。
朝は苦手な方ではないのだと思うけれど。。。

冬を過ごしてるみんなはもっと辛いんだろうなぁ、と思うと
こんなこと言っていられないんだろうなー。

う～んっ、冬のお布団あったかくてだーいすき。
ぬくぬく。

あ、シンガポールではぬくぬくは楽しめません。
単に眠いだけ。（笑）

Roller blade

Now many of my friends in the world have told me that they've already got some snow, but here in Singapore we never get snow.
Well, taking advantage of it, I went to roller blade to east coast park with my Thai friend, Noon.

It was her first try, but she learnt so quickly!
We sat on the beach afterwards and relaxed.
Good time!

First Snow

My mom has just emailed me and she said Nagaoka got first snow today!
It's unusual to have snow this early!!!

Singapore is rainy all this afternoon and I was just talking with my colleague that it looks like winter grey Nagaoka.

Oh, I just remember my favorite kids weather song!

How the weather? It's sunny.
How the weather? It's sunny.
How the weather? It's sunny. It's sunny today!

How the weather? It's rainy.
How the weather? It's rainy.
How the weather? It's rainy. It's rainy today!

How the weather? It's windy.
How the weather? It's windy.
How the weather? It's windy. It's windy today!

How the weather? It's snowy.
How the weather? It's snowy.
How the weather? It's snowy. It's snowy today!

I made handmade dice, and put all sorts of weather on it.
We threw the dice and we sang the song.
Everyone loved the song!
Teaching was fun!

One morning

I made ham and brie sandwich this morning and brought it to office.
Brewing Starbucks Christmas blend, which taste thick, deep and gentle, starts my morning :)

Have a nice day to you all!

Another SE Asian Fruit

Anyone has any idea what's this?

Do you have it in Thailand, Jane?

When you touch it, it feels like sponge.

When you open it, you have no idea which part to eat.

When you taste it, it is very sour but passionated!

East coast park

There is a wake board park in East coast park.
It's walking distance from my flat and sometimes I bring my books and sit by the lagoon.

At previous flat, there was skate board park.

It is really relaxing and enjoyable for me to see young people challenging their fear!

Well... I used to be one of those...
Well... I can still do it, but not with this dirty water!!

Good friends and their adorable kids

I saw so many of my good old friends (and their kids!) during my stay… it was very nice to see and know that everyone is doing fine. :)

There were a lot more people today, but some reason I can't find eveyone's picture...

Mt. Naeba (2145m)

Waking up 4:30am, and leaving home at 5:00… I have this schedule especially for my outdoor activities :) It's so lovely to feel morning starts very slowly...

We went for trekking to Mt.Naeba.
Driving through one of the most famous colored leaf area, and we got to 1300m to start trekking.

Got off the car and I felt the crisp but quiet lively air – very nice moment! Then, I slowly
roaming around the area and stepped on the ice. Yeah, it was frozen!

When reaching around 1600m, most of things were covered by snow!
Very blight and felt really peaceful…

On the way back, stopping by hot springs, (Onsen), and Japanese soba noodle in Tokamachi.

If it was in Colorado, we would also go to hot springs, but then hamburgers ;P
How are you all in Colorado???

F&F
