Backpack Journey

I traveled Netherlands and Belgium for one week with my friend.
Though the aim of Journey was to escape from cold London, these
countries were colder than London... But it were so beautiful cities.

We had to save money. went by coach, stayed hostel, walked
as much as possible, like a my university student age’s journey.
My friend who traveled with me was Colombian guy. So during
journey, I found a lot of difference of sense of values from him,
time, food, money, planning, etc... Though we didn’t stay deluxe
hotel and eat delicious food, the journey was valuable for me.

And more pleasure for me was to visit Rietveld Schröder House.
The house is master piece of Rietveld. I really wanted to visit that.

And yet, There were a lot of snow, and everyday was below freezing.
If I had a chance to visit again, I would like to visit summer season!!

Okonomiyaki Party

I hold Okonomiyaki party with my classmates last week.

As I wrote my previous post, I was invited Spanish omelette party.
This party was thanks for the party. I wanted to introduce Japanese
foods and I also missed for a long time. So it was a good chance.

There are some Japanese foodstuff shop in London. Almost goods
are about 1.5 times expensive... but very good selection of goods.
I bought a lot of foodstuff for okonomiyaki from these shops. 

And just in case, I practiced to cook before the party.

Thanks of the practice, my okonomiyaki was so delicious.  

I cooked not only okonomiyaki but also tanuki udon and miso soup.
It was their first time to eat okonomiyaki. So their reactions were so
nice. Though it seemed tofu was not good for them, but they really
liked okonomiyaki and others very much. I really satisfied.

When I arrived in London, I didn’t have any friends. I was so lonely.
But now, I have a lot of good friends. I feel relieve very much.
I’m really glad that I can spend such a great time with my friends.
I've got a lot thanks for such a encounter!!

Business Card

I made my business card.

My current English school will finish end of next January.
I think it’s almost time to prepare for my job hunting in London.

This business card is not only business card but also strong
expression of my decision toward the future. Rest of my period,
I want to gain experience to work in VFX industory in London.
If possible, after that I think I’m able to proceed to next step.
Anyway, I only have to do my best towards getting a chance.

For your information,
The two colours of my business card are my lucky colours.
Best of luck to me!!

Spanish Omelette

I was invited to Spanish omelette dinner party from my classmate.
Two month ago, I ate Spanish omelette at Spanish restaurant.
It was my first time to eat. The taste was really good, so I liked it.

When I talked about that thing, My Spanish friend said to me that
she’ll teach me how to cook and hold Spanish omelette dinner party!
Spanish omelette is different from ordinary omelette. like a cake.
According to her, the foodstuff are only egg and potato and onion.

That day, we gathered in her flat with some compliments.
There were some Spanish foods. Spanish omelette and some kinds
of chorizo and Spanish salad etc. Spanish salad was also different.
Each foods were delicious. I spent a good dinner time with my friends.

I’ll add my cooking recipe. It seemed very easy to cook even to me.
I’ll try soon. I have to increase my poor cooking recipe!

CG School

I’ve been going to CG school since mid-October.

As I wrote my previous post, I delayed the day of starting CG school.
I was really worried about CG class because of my poor English skill.
I finished the class of the tenth times this week. I think I’m going well
so far. Of course I can’t understand all words completely, but most of
words are familiar for me. So I can understand. I’m feeling relieve.

I applied the composite evening course. I want to learn about latest 

composite software. But I already have enough knowledge about CG.
So I needn’t apply full time course. The course is midterm period from
7pm to 10pm and two days per week. Thus this course is suit for people
who already have a experience in CG industry. In fact it’s a good place
to meet people who are working CG industry in London.

They are friendly and gave me advise even thought my poor English.
Though I don’t know whether I could grab the chance, I’ll do my best
and I wish I could start to work in CG industry in London.

Blow Freezing

When I waked up in this morning, snow lay all over the ground.
It was first time for me to see the snow in London.
And temperature was about -2 degree... So it was so cold.

Recently years, we don’t have snow in Tokyo due to global warming.
But I heard UK is getting colder and colder year by year conversely.
The reason guess the cold ocean water from melting polar ice.

Our teacher told us it recorded -21 degree in this January...
I can’t imagine. I really miss Japanese kotatsu!!
