Preview of "The Devil wears Prada"

Yesterday, my friend invited me to go a preview of " The Devil wears Prada". The film was very fashionable, Anne Hathaway was lovely and Meryl Streep was fabulous. The story wasn't bad, but I'd like to avoid to comment tabout he story. It wasn't my taste, actually. I think the film is for fashion lovers, fan for those actress and Patricia Field (aka Sex and the city stylist). I'm not interested in fashion, but I love to see beautiful things and also I like Meryl and Anne, so I can say I enjoyed the film!
This film will be released on 18th of November in Japan.

Ordinary Japanese Dinner



Sushi and Tempura are thought typical Japanese food by foreigners, but I hardly ever eat both of them, eve though I love them. Here, I showed my dinner of one day. They are Miso-soup, Steamed rice, a steamed egg hotchpotch which I bought at a supermarket, a grilled Pacific saury with ground Japanese radish and dressed boiled burdock root in a sesame mayonnaise sauce. Usually, I eat various food such as Chinese, Italian, Korean and so on. But recently I realized traditional Japanese diet is the best for my health. So I'm trying to eat them.

I Don't Say Goodbye

Not long ago, there were three foreign blogger in Japan, and they started to meet in Tokyo.

About 10 months ago, I met one of them who was my English teacher's friend and I started to go drink with her, and 7 months ago I dug up she was a blogger.

5 months ago, I met the other one of them, a Finish woman, at birthday party for the person I met first, and we talked about art a little and it was fun, so I gave her my email address .

Just 3 months ago, I met the last one of them finally, so I met all of them and I like them. I wasn't interesting in blog at least, cos I'm not good at English writing. But after I started to read their blogs, I thought if I can write something about Japan from native's viewing, it could be fun, then I started this.

Yesterday, I met them for farewell party, because the Finish woman will leave Japan with her lovely son this Wednesday,...It's a shame....It's sad....We just met. I hope I meet her ahd her son again in near future.

Kyoto in Tokyo


Today, I went to the National Museum Art Tokyo with a friend of my finish friend who are staying Japan for her holiday. Unfortunately, the permanent collection mixed boring and nice works.

After that we went Kyotokan which provides information about Kyoto sells products and foods from Kyoto and we can feel atmosphere of Kyoto. Today, it was reopened new place where was Yaesu in front of Tokyo station and they held short time Maiko Odori show as a opening ceremony which two girls in Kimono danced traditional dances from Kyoto. Luckily, we could see it even we were in Tokyo.

Autumn in Tokyo


Autumn has come in Tokyo at last. These days weather is cloudy or rain, but it's nice and cool. Orange osmanthus started to bloom and the rich perfume fills the air. That's a symbol of Autumn.

In Japan, it's said that Autumn is the best season for art. Though not for this reason , I went to Ueno Royal Museum to seeing the Dali exhibit with my friend this Tuesday. The exhibition was good which showed Dali's works chronologically (I think), but it was so crowded. In Japan, exhibitions from abroad are very popular, so sometimes I feel I go there to see somebody's heads when I go exhibitions.

Discount Day of Cinema

Almost all cinemas in Japan offer special fee, 1000yen per a film, on the first of each month, so Yesterday, my husband and I went to a cinema to see "X-men:The Last Stand" in Roppongi. The film was exciting.
After the cinema, we went Hobgoblin in Roppongi, which is British pub, we ate Sunday roast. They offer at 999yen per dish and it's worth more than the price!
