This spring holiday ( golden week ), we triped to hokuriku region.
Our main destination is yuki-no-ootani and world heritage shirakawa-go.

At first day, I waked up at 3:30 am and we left home at 5:30 am.
It was in the middle of golden week but we can pass through highway smootly and arrived at kanazawa city, ishikiawa-pref. about 9:30 am.

Our first destination was kanazawa 21th art musium because my wife's friend whose husband is from fukui pref. said this musium is good for children because there are some intersting spot.
This musium is beautiful. It is designed by famous architect kazuyo senou.
This structure is very unique compared with ordinary, it is circle shape and there are circle walkstreet inside the musium and inside this walkstreet, there are several rooms existed where we can enjoy some exhibitions.
I like this musium.











After that we moved to kenroku-en (famous garden).




Then go to higashi chayamachi.





Then oumi-chou market place.




And walking around kata-machi.


Then we moved to our hotel conforthote komatsu.
We wanted to stay at toyama because we paned to go to yuki-no-otani and it is located at toyama-pref. but it was full. ( we reserved it about mid of March ! )
This hotel is free of charge for children of junior school so fee is for 2 adlut, that's why my wife selected this hotel.



And 1th day was over.

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.

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!)
