Ramen!

It is getting cold in London.
I am not a big fan of Ramen, but I sometimes miss Japanese food.
So, I went to a new Ramen restaurant near Piccadilly Circus with my friend.
I know here is not japan, so I should not have expected too much.
Anyway, I enjoyed Ramen in London. :)

My Personal Refrections on...

I've been here in London for four months.
I was looking forward to MA Curating Course at Chelsea College because I really wanted to study and experience curatorial practices in the UK.
However, the contents of the programme has totally changed, since the ex-course director had suddenly left the Chelsea.
I am understanding the situation of the school, but I am not satisfied with what they are offering us now. It is very Art theory (there is no exhibition making through my core-course!!) and many subjects are related to racism, national identity and urban development, which I have no idea at all.
Thinking about my English, I still cannot fluently discuss those issues with native speakers and other European students.
I do not know what to express my feeling in English, but I am sunk in apathy.
Anyway, I should be optimistic and keep practicing English!
I am going to write something here if I have a time. 

Amu pudding

I love pudding very much. I like any kind of pudding such as custard pudding, rice pudding, creamy pudding and Yorkshire pudding. In addition, I like to find and buy new good sweets on the web. This is because recently I have been busy and it is difficult to travel to anywhere or go shopping.

The photo is named "Amu pudding". It is very famous and known as being hard to order because the number they make is limited. Luckily, last week I could order it by phone and received on Saturday. It was made in Hokkaido which is located in the northern part of Japan and the ingredients are very fresh and using a local speciality. The taste was simple but very rich. Actually I had never had pudding like this before. I am afraid I will eat too much and put on weight.

my cat

Today I am going to introduce one of my lovely cats, "mya-chan". I have 7 cats in my house. At first I did not like cats, I preferred small animals such as hamsters , turtles and goldfish. But about 10 years ago, she came to my garden and had 3 kittens. They were very cute, so my family decided to take care of them. That was the beginning of having pets. She is getting old now. As you can see, she is always putting her tongue out. Even though she looks stupid, I love mya-chan very much. 

Afternoon tea

Today I went to Shinjuku to meet my friend from Nagano. We have been knowing each other more than 10 years. However we cannot meet frequently since she moved to Nagano. We had lunch at a cafe in Kita-sando. Then we moved to Shinjuku and I guided her shopping. I felt really tired seeing many people there. In addition, it was very difficult to find our seats at any place because of terribly over-crowded. 

Green-tea sweets

Last Thursday I went to Tokyo station to have lunch with my mother.
We had oyako-don(I do not know the word in English. a bowl of rice topped with baked chicken and eggs. ) It was really good and we became very full. However as you know we can have sweets even though we have had plenty. After having oyako-don, we went to my favourite place 'Tsujiri 都路里' to have greentea  parfaits. We had a good time at the restaurant. :)

my nephew

I have changed my working place. As you can imagine, it was very hard to get used to the new place even though the things to do was the same as the previous one; filling prescriptions.

I felt exhausted on Friday. After coming back home, I was surprised that my 6 years old nephew was staying at home. Most women love children, however I am not good at taking care of them. I think it is because I am still single and do not have children.

In spite of my feeling to children, my nephew seems to like me...
