Learnig German

I've spent some of my time in learning German. German is a foreign language which brings me a special feeling even now. I had German courses for two years at university and since then it has been a bit away from me. It is because I lost interests in this language. I'm always planning to restart German lerning but every time I picked up textbook, it was other ones such as French, Korean and Russian.
All I need is to start learning, so I started.

Pasta lunch

Today's lunch is pasta of Coco's again. Compared with the usual days, I found less people here at this restaurant. On rainy days, people are tend to stay home? Maybe so.

E-Mobile

I've subscribed to E-Mobile service recently. It is a newest wireless carrier in Japanese market and offering a high-speed wireless service now. But the area coverage is limited to the only large cities like Tokyo and Osaka. I thought that it would take some more time to connect the service in my rural area.
A couple of weeks ago, I found the notice that my living area had got into the E-Mobile's coverage. It was good new for me because I had been a user of willcom that provide us a relatively slow sevice at resonable fee. A week later, I became a user of E-Mobile. The speed is astonishing and I'm really satisfied with the service totally.
I often go out with my notebook to check the connecting condition at some spots I visit. I came to notice that E-Mobile service is expanding rapidly more than I expected.

Lunch at McDonald

McDonard is my favor place to go around lunchtime. I often eat some
hamburgers and drinks at the nearby restaurant. Today I ordered a hamburger set with a coffee and salad.
I've noticed that McDonard had started to serve a premium roast coffee in stead of the normal coffee they had offerd. I think that the taste has been much improved as to be distinguished from the old one. The price still ramains 100yens.

Successful diet

Finally I've reduced my weight from 73.8kg to 64.8kg in the last four months. It's a great joy for me to complete this seemingly imposssible task. It seemed to be a long way to go when I started this plan. But a bit more attentions to daily meal and a change of my weight led me to the goal that I set last year.
Before this daily task, I read a book on how to reduce weight. The author recommended the way to write down the total amount of calories you take everyday. It encourages us to know how meaninglsess foods we are eating. I followed this method by using Excel files. Gradually I found it interesting because I noticed that the change of my weight responded to the amount of foods and phisical exercises.

Korea's first astronaut

Korea's first astronaut, Yi Soyen, has successfully begun her trip into space. This first attempt of Korea to send a man to space is historical event for all Korean people.
I wached the live broadcast from Russia on SBS TV.
When a spacecraft Soyuz has blasted off from the space center in Russia, everybody including President Lee Myung-bak, shared joys of this momorable launch.

QSL from Radio Korea International

I received a QSL card from Radio Korea Internatiol today. This quarter's card portraying a famous figure skater, Kim Yu-na of Korea. She is one of the closest athlete to the gold medal at the next Olimpic Games in 2010.

Medical drama "SHIROI KYOTOU"

Tonight a medical TV drama "SHROI KYOTOU", "A Large Tower" begins on BS TV. This drama was produced in South Korea last year and got a good reputation then. This series originated from a Japanese novel by Toyoko Yamazaki and has been on the air in Japan in a couple of different versions.
I've watched this Korean version in the net and found it a bit diffrent from other Japanese series. But all of them are outstanding as entertainmant dramas. This series will be broadcasted in Korean language with Japanese subtitles. It help us learn Korean language.

Lunch at Coco's

I'm writing at a family restaurant "Coco's". My weekly routine is to drive to this restaurant located near my house and spend some time at lunch.
Today I orderd a lunch salad set with some drink. I always carry PC, a cell phone and a walkman of Sony. Through these three gudgets, I can connect to the Web, watch TV and listen to music.

Voice of Russia

As usual, I tuned to the Japannese programs of Voice of Russia on 720kHz from 21:00. This station offers us a variety kind of programs that we couldn't get through the domestic media.
