In Japan, You can wear new shoes in the morning only. Must not wear during afternoon and night. (No.1)

Do you know the rules of title?

In Japan, there are mysterious rules.

Recentrly I posted article that my shoes was broken.

Big hole appeared at shoe sole of my favorite leather shoes!


So, I bought new shoes.
Then, it remained me of the olden thing.




When I was a child, my mother bought me new shoes.
And, I wanted to wear the new shoes right now, I tried to wear.


Then, my mother said
Mother: "No! Must not! You have to wait until tomorrow morning!"

I asked
Landyny: "Why??? I want to wear this new shoes now!"

Mother: "No! No! No! It's just rule! Bad things is bad! It's bad omen!"

At the time, I couldn't understand why my mother said to me such things...

My mother said to me this rules every time I got new shoes, and never allowed.



How do you think what this rules means?



Actually until recently I didn't know...
I have searched and I asked clerk of shoeshine shop.

So, I got a answers.



But today, It is late.
To be continue, tomorrow.




By the way, 
I uploaded the shoes I bought.
I got this at THE SUIT COMPANY, Kyoto Yodobashi. 

looks so good, do you think so?

This color and leather is so elegant!
I got a new partner.

A daily record 8/30

Today, I felt colder than yesterday.


Tokyo, and Tohoku had rained a lot, but at Kyoto it is sunny weather called "Nipponbare"

Do you image "Nipponbare" ?

Nippon = Japan
bare = sunny




I cannot find cloud at all.



The wind is so nice, so today, I can study English very much......
actually not, so sleepy. lol



In such a day, it is the best way to eat melon and go to bed early.

Why Japanese people cannot speak English although many schools teach English.

Why I cannot speak English until now?

The reason why I started this blog is that I want to be able to speak English.

Thanks to this blog, I can have a opportunity I use "raw" English.

From now, Did I have been studied "raw" English?

I think, the answer is No.

In the school, I studied English a lot of time.

But now I am not good at speaking and listening English.

Why!?

I think because...

I didn't have not chance to talk with English.....only this.

I learned grammar such as SVOC.

Subject + Object +...

But, when suddenly I was talked in English, I was so panic and I have to answer perfect grammar.

So include me, there are many Japanese who cannot talk in English though learned in school.

Now, what I should do?

From now, I didn't have chance to talk in English.

So, I have to have opportunity to use "raw" English.

I have heard really nice word

"If you read the manual to ride a bicycle, you cannot ride forever."

"You have to ride a bicycle and fall by bicycle."

"Absolutely suddenly you can ride a bicycle."

"English is same too."

I trust this word, I will practice my English.

So, I hear English sounds in train or bus, and I go to lunch with foreigner and talk in English.

Have opportunity!

On the way home, I went to a cafe to eat dinner.

I found a good web site to practice reading English

To practice reading news in English, I see news website that I have interests everyday.


Because I have registered, Google Alert sent to me e-mail about Nintendo, underwater photography, and so on.


Then, I found a news site of Game categories that I can relatively easily read and understand.


It's name is "Gamenguide."

Gamenguide web site screenshot

Although I can't know why this web site can be understood smoothly,
I will read this web site to practice reading with funny.

Station attendant of local line I met today is kind.

Today, I rode a bullet train from Kyoto.
And got off at country station, and changed train to local line.


When I arrived at the station, the train was ready to leave.

And I saw that scene, I gave up to take the train.


But! at the time

Attendant or conductor said to me "Wii you take?"

I was really surprised and said "N...No, thank you!"



really surprised.


I have never been to said to that in Kyoto, although I live in Kyoto from I was born to now.

In Japan, in city including Kyoto, conductor never say "Will you take?"

Conversely, if there are people run to board the train, conductor say "Please take on next train!"



Today, I felt good.

Although local train have many problems such as a little train, a little vehicle, not clean, high fare, often delayed,
I thought local train is not bad.

A daily training 8/22

I am training English almost everyday.

Today, I listened English sound for 1 hr in total.

And all of time is in train or bus.

Sometime, I listened to music . It's just rest.


Since the end of may, I have listened English sound almost everyday.

The period of beginning, I can't hear most.
Now , I could improve my ear to catch English words a little.


I will continue this training.

And also three of typhoon.

So Pasicif Ocean is rough, but Sea of Japan is calm and no wave.

I went to sea of Fukui Prefecture, South Echizen diving park.

Today, I did scuba dive.

Water temperature is about 29 centigrade, and temperature is 33 centigrade.

On Land, it is little hot, but underwater is really comfortable.

I had very good time.
