White Night

It is bright even 9pm recently days.

It was dark and exactly night time after work in Japan.
But even thought I had to overwork, sky is still bright in here.
This phenomenon usually gives me a illusion of time like a
one day is longer than 24 hours.

Moreover it’s really good combination with drink beer outside
of pub! It’s sometime still cold but basically very comfortable.
It was always cold and cloudy or rainy until two months ago.
I feel that summer is approaching around here.

Oyster Card

I lost my monthly oyster card because of my mistake.

I repurchased and got new card. Fortunately or unfortunately
my new oyster was limited edition. Because limited edition was
designed about royal wedding. it’s already out of fashion for me...

I had to transport information from old card. It was quite hard.
They provides only telephone support for that. It was stupid...
Most of operator speak so fast and not kindly. I tried 3 times and
finally I could. I disappointed my poor English skill every time.
But I think they should more friendly and kindly for us!!  

L

I had a misconception thing for a long time.

What do you guess a meaning of this photo sticker?
I sometimes see this sticker especially motorcycle in London.
I taught L is L of London and popular sticker like I love New York.

But answer was wrong. L means L of learner. That is like a
biginner driver mark in Japan. It looks cool but so rough.
I think this feeling is exactly London.

New Flat

I didn’t write my blog for a long time,
So my post will mix past and current thing for a while...

I moved my flat. This is my third flat in London. I realised that
I didn’t post about my second flat. First I’ll describe about second
flat in Turnham Green. The place was located Chiswick where is
for upper class resident area and very beautiful place.

Second flat was near my English school about 10 minutes by walk
and 15 minutes to my CG school by bus. So very convenient place
and I liked it. But on the other hand flat payment and other price of
commodities were expensive for me. However I sometime invited
my classmates. And I wasn’t work, so I spend almost time there.
Second flat was very memorable flat for me.

Now I moved to Shepherds bush. The place is along central line.
Compare to previous city, Shepherds bush is more mixture city
like a down town. It isn’t dangerous and very convenient to go to
my company within 25 minutes. And Good point is that there is
biggest shopping center in Europe named Westfield.

My room is top attic room in house. Though it’s very small, my
room has big roof window. Bright sunlight and comfortable wind

always enter my room. The reason why I decided to stay here.
Above all reasonable payment too.

From April, new flatmates came here from Japan to use working
holiday visa like me. I already have been stayed about 9 months.
Time passed so fast but at the same time there were so many
things to happen during this 9 months. 

 
I wonder what will happen this year.

日本との距離

またしばらく間が空いてしまいました...。

この数ヶ月の間に日本で起き、今でも続いている様々な出来事は、
自分なりに色々と考えさせられました。日本を離れて生活している
自分にとって、何か当事者ではない申し訳なさや無力感を感じたり、
日本との距離や特に家族に対しての思いなどを痛感しました。

ネット上や街角でよくPRAY FOR JAPANという運動を見かけます。
自分もただ祈るくらいしかできませんが、どうか物事が無事解決して、

被災した人達が一刻も早く平穏な生活に戻れるように祈ります。
