Gifu trip (day 2) 16 August

Day second started.

 


After enjoying breakfast, we left hotel at about 11 AM.


At Gifu city, we went Soufukuji(崇福寺) and Dousan zuka(道三塚) where my wife selected.

Then we went to Hana festa memorial park and there is special exhibition related to NHK drama.

I was exhausted so I retired and had stayed at this exhibition center. My wife and son had walked around the memorial places.

After this, we ate lunchboxes at supermarket parking and an accident happened. Our cars' air conditioner was broken! This day was the hottest day of this summer and Gifu was predicted 40 celsius.

Under such an terrible condition, we had continued driving about 40 min and had been to kikkyo zuka.


And we had exhausted very much due to heavy hot temperature without air conditioner so we dropped in autobux seki shop and asked whether this breakdown might be fixed. After staying there for about 2 hours, they diagnosed that the air compressor was broken so they couldn't fix it instantly.

So we drove back to my home without air conditioner about 200 km but it was over 6 pm so we could manage to overcome such heavy hot conditions.

Anyway, we could go back to Osaka. It was terrible experience but we might not forget this trip forever.

Earthquake happend in Japan

On Friday afternoon, big earthquake had occured. I worked at office at Osaka. At first, next branch's team used TV conference to Tokyo office and tokyo team said earthquake had occured, and a few seconds later, we felt earthquake. Our office is at 11th floor and swing was very big so we felt very awful if our building was collapsed. It was about 2:30 PM. Afterthat, we switched our TV on and saw what happend in Japan, so our work had almost stopped afterthat. (safely, my house in Osaka and my parents and brother and sister's house in Shizuoka-pref. was safe) Magnitude 8.8 was very huge. Newspapers said it is the biggest magnitude earthquke in japan since authority had a record.

Goldsmith College, UK

Image
When I was a graduated student, I went to London and enjoyed summer school at Goldsmith college for about a month, because I wanted to spend good time at that period. Goldsmith college was located near New Cross station and I stayed at dormitory of this college, because at summer time, dormitory was empty due to the summer vacation time. And I happened to watch Flickr yesterday and search the word "New Cross", then found Goldsmith College's & around this area's picture and felt longing for this town. New Cross is located about half an hour from central London by train, so it is very convenient place to go around central London. And this town is not so big (in another saying, feel a little deserted-looking), so I enjoyed the fist experience of abroad in a relaxing mode, so I liked this town very much. If you see this picture , you can see the dormitory(*) where I stayed about 20 years ago, so I am deeply moved. (*) UK's college is started at September, s

Our new family !

Image
He is our new family and he is our first baby! He was born on 28 May, and this Wednesday he came our home from hospital and 4 days had passed. He is very very bouncing baby so my wife couldn't sleep well, but we love him very much. He cried very loudly so we tried to ease him in various ways, and this picture is one of ways to be quiet. (this red material is a rattle and if I shake this rattle, he is very curious about it and hear this rattle's sound and sometimes stop crying!)
