I Don't Know Where To Look
Since I live in the US, I often see some men who naked from the waist up in gym, park, and around my house. These men are not common in Japan, so I always confused when I see them. Why they don't wear shirts? Aren't they uncomfortable without shirts? There are some questions in my mind.
It's summer now, so I think that the sunshine is getting stronger and their skin might got hurt. Also if they do workout, maybe they don't want to wear anything on their bust. But I think it's better to wear something because shirts or some clothes will get their sweat, and it's more comfortable.
To tell the truth, I'm just surprised because it's not familiar for me. I wrote so quibble things. They'er always perfect even wether to wear shirts or not. I hope it will be daily things for me sooner or later.
アメリカに住んでからいろんな場所で上半身裸の男性をよく見かける。日本にはそういう方はあまりいないので、見かけるといつもびっくりしてしまう。なんで着ないんだろう、一枚着た方が快適なんじゃないか、いつも疑問が湧いてくる。
今は夏だから、強い日差しで肌が痛くなるだろうし、運動して汗をかいた時などは一枚着ていた方が快適だと思うのだけどな。
理屈っぽいことを書いたけど、まぁ見慣れていないからびっくりするだけのことなのです。そのうち慣れてくるだろう。

煙に巻く Kemunimaku
I talked about a Japanese word with my language partners before. The word is 煙に巻く(Kemu ni maku). But I couldn't explanation it. Let me have a try again. And if you understand, please teach me what is said in English.
煙に巻く(Kemu ni maku)
To cheat or overwhelm others which by using big words or saying something what they don't know.
煙に巻かれる（Kemuri ni makareru) is to lost way if you in the scene of the fire, you can't find an escape route too much smoke. So 煙に巻く(Kemu ni maku) means trying to be off the argue point and deceive others.
I hope that someone read my notebook, and understand what I wrote.
あるパートナーの方と「煙に巻く」という言葉について話しましたが、うまく説明できなかったので、ここでもう一度チャレンジさせてください。もし私の書いてあることが理解できたら、この言葉は英語で何と表現できるのか教えてください。
「煙に巻く（けむにまく）」とは、大げさなことや相手の知らないことを言い、相手を圧倒したりごまかしたりすること。「煙に巻かれる（けむりにまかれる）」とは火事場で煙に視界を遮られ逃げ道を失うこと。 と、このように論点をずらしてごまかすのが「煙に巻く（けむにまく）」です。

Shiitake
I used to eat shiitake when I lived in Japan, because it's a very popular mushroom in there. It's affordable, healthy, and I really like to eat it. However I moved in the US few years ago, it's a little bit difficult to buy shiitake around my town. And also, if I can get it, the taste is different a trifle ( of course, I know). I was in a dejected mood, and I miss Japanese shiitake very much.
I met a shiitake-farmer at the farmer's market recently. His shiitake were so beautiful, good aroma, and very thickness. Then I bought a bag of shiitake, and ate them. That's the one what I was looking for a longtime! It's tasty as same as Japanese one or more!
He told me that it is bed log cultivation. Shiitake can grow that occurs naturally. Therefore, It isn't able to get every time. This cultivation can get high quality ones. It can't be bought easily even in Japan. I was so lucky to met him.

New Medical Insurance
I'd read an article on the news web site before. That's really interesting for me.
One of a Japanese insurer will suggest new policy which the medical treatment by using wearable robot. It will help patients who had some intractable disease such as ALS. It's difficult to move themselves. But if they use to this robot(leg robot), they can walk alone. I don't know how hard training that can use it. And I'm not sure whether it use to only rehabilitation or use to daily life as well. I think this policy is wonderful if the patient's life will change toward better. More than anything, it's good thing that they can have more choices.
ネットのニュース記事で面白いものを見つけました。
日本のある保険会社がロボットを使用する治療法への保証を提案しました。これはALSなど治療が困難とされてきた難病患者の助けになるでしょう。一人では動くことが困難な人でも、足にロボットをつければ一人で歩くことが可能になります。それができるようになるまでにはどのくらいの訓練が必要なのか、そしてロボットはリハビリのみか日常生活でも使用可能なのかわからないけれど、これが彼らの生活をよりよくするのならとても素晴らしい保証だと思う。そして何よりも治療の選択肢が増えることがとてもいいと思う。

Language Partners
Since I registered Italki, I've been getting a lot of friend requests and messages. That's a unexpected things for me. Because I thought there were relatively few people who study Japanese. I was wrong. There are a lot in here. Japanese is spoken only in Japan. I'm so glad to hear that someone study it.
All my partners who I'd talked before were so polite and eager to study Japanese. I do want to say for them thank you sharing your precious time with me. They also taught me English or Chinese patiently. I hope that we keep studying together as long as possible.
In short, I'd like to stop to get new partner for a while. I'm trying to reply all of them. But I couldn't. I wonder if everyone be able to do easily with that?
Italkiに登録してからありがたいことにたくさんのメッセージと友達申請が来ています。日本語を勉強している人は、全体から見ても少数だと思っていたので、この事態は私にとって予想外の出来事なのです。
今までお話して来た方々は、とても勉強熱心でキチンとした人ばかりで、貴重な時間を共有してくれて本当に感謝しています。
ただ、正直最近はたくさんの申請やメッセージへの返信に時間を取られて大変なので、しばらくこれらへの返信を一旦ストップしようと思います。ひとそれぞれだとは思うのだけど、みんなはどうやっているんだろう？

Japan And My Sweet Home
I'd been back to Japan for two weeks in this month. (I'm living in the U. S now.) It was a great time for me. I met my friends, and we went to Hanami which to see Sakura (cherry blossoms) in the park or some famous sakura spots. Of course, I can see sakura in the U. S. But it's a little difference, maybe the sunlight and the color of sky aren't the same. I grew up to see Japanese sakura, so It's fit on me.
This two weeks, I'd stayed at Hotel, my parent's home, and my in-low's home. A hotel was good. And my parent and my in-lows were really nice to me. All meals that they made were delicious. They were taking care of everything. I could relax.
But I felt a something. I didn't understand while I was in Japan. A few days ago, I came back to America. When I came into my house. I felt "Oh, my house is the best relax place". I've been here for two years. That's funny. But here is my sweet home.

Watched A Movie
I went to see a movie with my husband yesterday. The title is "Life". The story is six astronauts are attacked by an alien in the ISS. I'd watched this trailer before. This movie starring famous actors (Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal). And a Japanese actor( Hiroyuki Sanada) appears in it. So we were excited to see it. We didn't think deeply about that we dislike this genre. Hiroyuki Sanada was great. We expected that he will be the first person who is attacked by an alien. He was not, though. That's good for us. But an alien was so scary.We clasped each other's hand during it's attacking someone. I think this movie is exciting and frightening. We were regret to watching it, because it was too scary.
昨日主人と映画を観てきた。「Life」というタイトルの国際宇宙ステーション内で宇宙飛行士がエイリアンに襲われるものだ。有名な俳優たちが出ているし、なによりも真田広之が出ているので観に行った。この手の映画は２人とも苦手なのだけれど、深く考えずに行ってしまった。きっと真田さんは最初に襲われちゃうのかな、と勝手に予想していたけど大丈夫だった（ごめんなさい）。もうエイリアンが怖すぎて、襲撃のシーンはお互いの手を握りながら観てた。怖すぎて観たのを後悔する映画だった。
