Here in Japan also celebrated with Hal...Ohayou ^.^<br /><br />Here in Japan also celebrated with Halloween as well :)<br />Restaurants and sweets shops were decorated by cute pumpkins,<br />but I have no idea what Halloween originally means :-( Many of us are like so, we also celebrate with Christmas only for happy event, as I told you before.<br /><br />Are you going to go to Hague soon? That sounds nice! I imagine it is the place where has a long history. What is the purpose for going there, by the way? Christmas shopping?<br /><br />One reason why I wake up early in the morning (perhaps it's still in the night) is because I sleep a bit early, like around 10 p.m., but also because of a short nap in the daytime. You know, it's not good night's sleep, but I couldn't help but sleeping in the afternoon.... I like having dreams, you can call me a dreamer, haha. What time do you usually go to bed? I can be a little bit computer addict, I should avoid to turn the computer on in the late evening as you said.<br /><br />Speaking of Mt. Fuji, you are exactly right. People rush into the top of it in the summer, really crowded like traffic jam near the mountaintop. A friend of mine climbed this summer and told me that I should take care of altitude illness when I climb up and down. I don't know what it's like, but my wife have experiences for climbing there twice and she was suffering from it very much at that time. We should climb slowly, perhaps.<br /><br />Sure, when you come visit my country, I will take around anywhere in Tokyo, as well as cities and towns wherever you want to go ;)<br />Kanazawa(http://iko84.blogspot.jp/2012/09/chayagai-or-tea-houses-in-kanazawa.html)?<br />Kyoto? It's up to you! :)<br /><br />mata ne! :)iko84https://www.blogger.com/profile/17960624698564555511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099204110305154158.post-2687863000741627872012-11-01T02:48:19.603+09:002012-11-01T02:48:19.603+09:00Happy Halloween!
At least in my country it is stil...Happy Halloween!<br />At least in my country it is still the 31st of october. ^^<br /><br />Ahh, is everyone in Japan also prepping for the holidays and New Year's and stuff? Here in Holland the stores are filled with stuff for "Sinterklaas" which is a Dutch national holiday(I will send an e-mail with pictures and a story about it later). And soon Christmas goodies will be popping up in stores as well. I really love doing Christmas shopping. I'm planning on going to the city of "Den Haag", or "The Hague" as it's known internationally. I will shoot some nice pictures for you when that time comes :D<br /><br />I sleep very well actually. There was a time (before I had met you), I believe it was this time last year. Where I came home from school, exhausted, and I would sleep for an hour before I had dinner. Luckily, that's over and I'm feeling better than ever. I'm quite active and I do fitness to stay in shape :) It really helps.<br /><br />Wow! 4 AM. that's very early in the morning. Now I know you are a morning person, but this is extreme! Maybe you should read a book instead of browsing on the internet. Reading books is soothing and relaxing and will help you calm your mind. Or you should stay up later in the evening? So you will wake up later in the morning... Try something else, I would say. Aren't you worried about your health?<br /><br />I read somewhere that lots of people climb Mt. Fuji in summer, when the snow is gone and it's not that cold. And that there are also lots and lots of tourists from all over the world. <br /><br />I do wish to climb Mt. Fuji as well. It's a once in a lifetime experience and I feel obligated to myself to do it. I recently started saving money because of my job. So I will most definitely visit Japan to climb the mountain sometime. ^.^ Of course, When I will visit Japan I will also come to meet you and your wife, is that okay?<br /><br />Mata ne! ;)<br /><br />Suzannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099204110305154158.post-73674831761408448782012-10-31T17:57:54.896+09:002012-10-31T17:57:54.896+09:00Konbanwa!

I usually go back to my hometown Nagoya by bus, but I take shinkansen when there can be traffic jam due to holidays such as New Year and so on.<br /><br />I felt relief to hear you are getting better. Do you sleep well recently? Sleeping is really helpful to heal. For me, I almost everyday wake up around 4 a.m. and browse some website. I know, it's no help to get sleep, but I can't help doing it :(<br /><br />I want to climb Mt. Fuji, you remember it! It's probably next year since it's already covered by lots of snow. Would you like to join us at that time? ^.^iko84https://www.blogger.com/profile/17960624698564555511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099204110305154158.post-41764235623126201192012-10-31T03:41:40.242+09:002012-10-31T03:41:40.242+09:00Wow! The station looks awesome from the inside. So...Wow! The station looks awesome from the inside. So clean and neat and modern.<br />I hope I get to travel by Shinkansen once, the way you describe it sounds very relaxed :)<br /><br />Thank you for your concern, I went to see the doctor the other day and he gave me some medicine. Apparently my airways are a bit infected. But it'll wear off sooner or later and my medicine will help speed op the process of my recovery. :)<br />I will be fine in no time, I hope...<br /><br />Mt Fuji looks beautiful, didn't you say you wanted to climb it once? Or am I mistaken..<br /><br />Have a nice day! ;)<br />Suzannenoreply@blogger.com
