noon and midnight Today I studied the way to describe the time in English. I studied it a few time but I still felt wired about noon and midnight. My teacher said that PM12:00 and AM12:00 have a special name and these are noon and midnight. Noon is the start of PM and it could say PM12:00. Midnight is the start of AM and it could say AM12:00... wait... The numbers are counted up to 0, 1, 2, ... , 12, 13, 14, ... Right? If Noon is the start of PM and it is PM12:00 then one hour later should be PM13:00? But they might say PM1:00 right? If one hour later is PM1:00 then Noon should be PM0:00 or It can be AM12:00... Nop. They said AM12:00 should be midnight... Aw... That's so confusing for me.

Malaysia Two years ago I went to Malaysia. My friend lives in KL so I went there to see him. That was the first time I went there. It was good experience for me to feel culture or atmosphere or weather or something like that. But My most strong impression was great foods. I love Malaysian foods. I ate bakuteh, roti canai, teh tarik, nasi goreng, mi goreng and so on. Everything was so great. Hopefully, I want to eat those again one day.

In Singapore I went to Singapore last May. I spend in Marina Bay Sands Hotel one night where is famous for Infinity pool. That was amazing. The service is great, easy to access to every where, beautiful view, large room, kind staffs. Everything was great. I thought I gotta stay more days. But It's expensive so we could not stay multiple days.

I went to Cambodia. In May, Japan has a long vacation. So I traveled to another country every year. This year I went to Cambodia and Singapore. I will write about Cambodia this time. Singapore would write next time. I stayed there for three days. I went to Siem Reap to see Angkor Wat and a lot of ruins. Every ruins are very huge and I was surprised every piece of stones have beautiful cavings. It appears buddha or animals or something. I'm not quite sure. But It was very beautiful. Sadly many of ruins are about to break down. Some stones are fall down to ground. Even such stones on the ground have caving. That must be huge work even now. Ｗhat is more, that every temples are facing exactly South. ( except Angkor Wat. It is facing exactly West.) I put my iPhone on the center of temple. That compass app displayed exactly zero degree. I was very impressed by that precise work. In May, Cambodia is VERY hot. Highest temperature is about 38 celsius. So I can walk not so long distance. But It is enough to understand huge works. And It was very easy to realize that that is amazing.

Go camping!! Since last year, I am so into go camping… to say more I am into watching camping video on YouTube. I went camping for 8 times in last year. I don’t have enough gears for winter camping. So I couldn’t go camping during winter. But… Now… Camping season has coming!!! Yay!! I went the first time camping of this year in March. I want go camping more and more.
