If there is Marine day, there should be mountain day.
The Japanese Alpine Club (JAC) announced on 30 that they will aim at the establishment of mountain day as national holiday.
According to JAC, the season to be considered as mountain day is summer when there is the largest number of climbers through the year.
Though the concrete day has not been decided yet, JAC says that they wish to select the specific day by enhancing opportunities for the establishment in cooperation with mountain groups.
The establishment of mountain day was also proposed in 2002 among those involved in mountain when setting up international year of mountain by U.N. resolutions
However, afterwards the proposal had lacked the excitement and ended in a whimper.
JAC chairman Noboru Ogami said at a press conference on this day that he would like to spread love for mountains, amid growing concerns of natural environment changes only now.

I haven't written my journal for a while since I wrote it almost 6 months ago.

A lot of things have happened to me in the last 6 months.

One of the most biggest things to me is that I have moved.

I had have lived in Tochigi prefecture for 2 years as a sales representative. One day, I was just told by my boss and he assigned me to a different section. So I needed to move to a head office in Yokohama prefecture.

Fortunately, I have settled in my new place and which is located near my workplace. So It is very convenient to commute to my office now.

I have to go now. Thank you for reading my journal

It is kind of hard for me to write or talk about it, but I came up with putting it down on this journal. A writing it down is lighter than talking about it.

Until a couple of years ago, I couldn't even talk about my stuttering in front of others. It brought me tears sometimes.

If I were not a stutter, My life would be different than I am.

But I know that it's not good to look a bad side of me.
I am always trying to look at a good side of me.

My job is to sell our products. I am a saleman in spite of having a speak problem.

I would not blame you if you laughed at me because of my stuttering.
If I were not a stutter, I would laught at it.

I didn't even think that I would become a saleman.

I have met several overcomers of stutering.
They said that being old, experience counts so I belive that I can get over it.


I enjoy my job now. Of course, life is full of ups and downs.

There were 7 of us, and 4 guys on my team. One of guys, who used to go bowling in his younger days, said confidently that he would win in the game. I was wondering wheter he was good at it or just all big mouth. To my surprise, he ended up second. His score was a 143 out of 300. Have you been a bowling before? If you have, how much score have you got the best. At last, I was bad though...

When in Canada back in 2003, My hostsiser, whose name was Taylor, took me to the theater in near a house I stayed.

Compared with the theater in Japan, It was very cheaper. It cost just like 4or 5 bucks per movie so I could afford to buy a ticket and see 2 days a week at least.

My hostfamily were so nice. They treat me like one of thire family.
Let me introduce my family in Canada.

Jack who was Nick's father, tought me how to paly the Golf. He said that He was a pro golf player in his yunger days. Nick was my hostfater who was shaven-headed. And Lisa who was a good cook was Nick's wife.

At last, my best friend and my English teacher Tylor who had a blond hair was 11 years old. One of her favorit animals was horse.

We, Japanase, eat a horse sometime, I don't like it though.
Jack told her about it, She was about to cry....

I got up at 9:30.

A snowboarding trip was postponed untill next month due to my car's problem. I was suppouse to buy an aoutmotive chain by the day of the trip but I could not. I was so busy at work last week days, so I couldn't study English a lot. What I only was done last week was that memorised some of the English words.

Although a memorization of the words is not interesting way to study, I believe this may come to use someday.

What are you all doing this weekends?
I hope that everyone enjoy it

How are you doing?

Have you heard or taken of the TOEIC test before?
You don't need to take it, If you are a native English speaker, though.

TOEIC stands for Test of English for International Communications.
The TOEIC doesn't give you pass-failing grade but does give you a rating of 5-990 score.

Most of the Japanese company entail(require?) a TOEIC score of applicants who want to be hired, when they interview.

It composes of 2 sections, one is the Listning test, and the other is the Reading.

I have to go ....

see you next diary.

Of course, It depends on circumstances where you were raised or living in.

For instance, It is said that the people, reading newspaper, know the amount of 20,000~50,000 words

I think the most important thing to learn new language is to memorize a lot of words and idioms untill you are able to read newspaper without dictionary.

I aim at geting the 20,000 words in English by 30, I am 27 now..

This is my first diary.

Let me introduce myself.

I am a male, half Japanese and half Indian, was born in 1981, and raised in Japan. I had a dual sitiznship both Japanese and Indian until 22-year-old. When I had to make a dicision which nationality I should take, I was thinking that which shitizinship would take more advantage of me to live in this world. The answer was a Japanese one for me at that time.

When I was a college student, the oppotunity to go studyabroad to Canada came to me.

I homestayed Nanaimo, BC, Canada, for 3 months and had a so nice expierience. I could make a lot of friends who were from a variety of cuntries such as chinese, korean,cuban and Canadian which was so exciting for me to communicate with them.

I miss them so much.

thanks very much for reading my bad English dairy.
See ya soon
