I’ll choose Japanese, Chinese and Italian cuisine. First, I’m Japanese and I cannot live without Japanese cuisine. It uses healthy ingredients like fermented foods and doesn’t use a lot of oil. Eating heavy foods every day is tough for me. Thant said, I sometimes want to enjoy different cuisines. Chinese spicy taste makes me energetic. Italian rich taste makes me happy.

When I went grocery shopping with my daughter yesterday, a cashier said that she must be look like her father. I asked the reason, then the answer was that because she wasn’t look like me. Exactly! Everyone says that. By the way, I was often said I resembled my father when I was a little. But it has been changed gradually and I resemble my mother now. I wonder if my daughter’s face would change in the future as well.

Definitely, yes! I’m from Japan and I think it’s the safest country in the world. Nobody is bringing guns except police officers. Women can walk alone at night. (Of course, they should watch out for danger. ) If you lost your wallet, someone will hand it to a police station. Many people doze off on a train even at a seat near the door. You can drink tap water safety.

I’m going to travel with my family to see my parents and my husband’s parents. My daughter was born last July. Unfortunately, they have never seen their grandchild in person due to this pandemic. This trip will be a wonderful memory for everyone. I hope the day that we can see easily will come soon.

Valentine’s Day is this weekend. In Japan, women give men a box of chocolate to tell their love or gratitude. This culture(custom?practice?) is a result of a chocolate maker’s selling strategy. So I was surprised to see many men having a bunch of flowers on Valentine’s Day in the US and I thought what a romantic day! My husband give me a bunch of flowers every year after moving to the US. That is one of things that make me think to come to the US is good.

I ate a delicious hamburger last week with my husband. The hamburger shop was (is?which is appropriate?) next to a micro brewery that was our favorite. The shop offered the brewery’s draft beer and the combination was perfect! I was excited to find a new favorite.

My last trip was last October to Hawaii with friends. Meeting them was main purpose because I hadn’t met them for one year. We did swimming, shopping, horseback riding and talking. Everything was so fun! By the way, I ran into my ex-boyfriend haha. Unfortunately he stayed in the same hotel as us and I saw his wife by chance. Sorry, get back on topic. One day, we used Uber and the driver was good looking. One of the friends couldn’t speak English and she said that she really wished she could speak English for the first time in her life! It was interesting. I think such feeling is the key to learn a new language.

My 6 months baby girl wakes up around 6 am so I have to wake up at that time too. To be honest, I want to sleep more. My recent life is very simple. I feed her baby food and formula, change a diaper and rock her to take a nap (she can’t fall asleep by herself and it takes 15 minutes ) every three hours. It’s rare to go out due to the pandemic and the cold weather. At 6 pm, I give her a shower, put her to sleep and make diner. After that, finally I get free time and enjoy watching TV or reading.
