Moving #1
I had been living in an apartment for three years. I believe it is typical in the states, but the rent was getting higher and higher every single year, so I decided to move out there. Firstly, I did some researches on reputations of the community, a school boundary, a rent of course, an then narrowed down the candidates. Secondary, I went see three apartments, checked the inside of rooms, and talked with each manager how the conditions of a contract were. At the end of the day, I picked up the most convenient one, which is located near a ramp on a highway. Lastly, I signed a contract, paid a deposit, and got a key to our room.
I wish the rent wouldn't go up next year, but I know it's not going to happen.

After Lunch
The other day, I was enjoying lunch at a Chinese restaurant. I had never been there before, it was really good. After lunch, I went back to the place where I had parked at, and then I found my car was gone. "What the hell happened?" I was so confused, I just stood the parking area. Then a guy came over to me, and he was like "Your car is Red? So, I saw your car being towed, just five minute ago." It was not until he told me the story that I realized I had parked at something wrong place. I sighed.

Holidays
It's been a while since I wrote a diary last time. In the past three months, I had visited UK, German and then gone back to Japan for a bit while. I stayed my parents' house in Japan and spent plenty of relaxed time there, and after that, I had come back to the states in mid-November. Since I already have a plan to travel abroad during Christmas holidays, I'll be chilling out at home with my family during this Thanks Giving holidays instead.

Jet Lag
My wife and two children came back to America last weekend. They are still suffering from jet lag and get up at around 11 a.m. in these days, but they will be getting well soon. My wife told me that it had been SUPER HOT in Japan. Compared with that, it is very comfortable here in Seattle. I wish the summer would never end...
I will be heading to the UK this weekend. I am wondering how the climate is there now.

Cleaning
It was a lovely day today. I should have gone out somewhere, shouldn't I? I ended up staying at home all the day. I'm not at home in the daytime on weekdays, so it doesn't get so messy, but I could see dust in the corner in the end. It's time to clean. I've cleaned the room with a vacuum cleaner for the first time in a while. Some outlets cause a fire alert when I use them for a vacuum cleaner. It's something weird but I must be careful about that. After a few hours, I was done.
My wife and children will come back to America next Saturday though, I hope they'll feel good and relaxed here.

Traveling
I rarely used airplanes in Japan. I had had many business trips when I was in Japan, but I used to take trains because they were very convenient. Since I came to America, I have fewer business trips than I used to in Japan but have more opportunities to take airplanes than before. I had been to some European countries, such as England, Germany and Norway, etc. , and the other states in America as well in a year. Basically I don't have enough time to visit landmarks there because trip schedules are so tight. I'll come back here right after finishing my work. Am I lucky that I can go abroad? Anyway, I have to study English harder...

Hot Summer
It seems that TSUYU, the rainy season in Japan, was finally over. And it also means that "HOT SUMMER" is coming. In Japan, I used to go to the office by trains being in a suit. It took about one hour from my house to get to the office. And despite it was just a ten-minute-walk in that way, I was always dripping with sweat when I got there. What terrible days they were! But, I know that there are a lot of fun things in summer of Japan, of course. Now, my wife and children are in Japan actually, I really hope that they are enjoying their "HOT SUMMER" in Japan.

I love Japanese food but...
When someone asks me what kinds of food you like, I would say "Japanese food" without hesitation. I love Sushi, Oden, Udon noodles, Ramen, Sukiyaki, etc. as most of Japanese people do. I can't find some of them in America (at least around me), so I often feel like something is missing. However, I found wonderful food here! It's BBQ, especially Ribs. I'm not sure what I should call them rightly. I had had them for the first time somewhere in Texas earlier this year, and then I make it a habit to grab Ribs every time I go on a business trip. I think there are most likely many kinds of tasty food in America that I've never had, so I would like to keep looking for them.

Happy Friday!
On Fridays, the days just before weekends, co-workers often say "Happy Friday!" in their e-mail. And even when I greet a casher "How are you?"at a supermarket, he / she often answers "Good, happy Friday!". Does this happen in the whole America? I had never heard this phrase in Japan, but I can of course understand the felling very well. I also feel like something exciting especially at Friday's night even if I have no plan on the weekend like today;) Oh, I just have to go on shopping to get some foods at Costco. I hope it'll be a lovely day tomorrow.

I just miss...
There are many differences between America and Japan. I've been lived in America for over a year, and am getting use to American life, so I really enjoy it. However, I'm actually feeling like something is lacking. Do you imagine what it is? So, I can't take a bath because of no deep bath tub in my apartment. Most Japanese people take a bath every day, and I also used to do it in Japan to recover from tiredness of the day. I think I'll enjoy taking a bath only when I go on a business trip to Japan.
