First part of my vacations

I am just about to enter  university again then I want to talk about my vacations. I was exactly in the center of my country on a tour of four cities.
the trip started coming together at the plaza de la paz in Barranquilla. At that moment, I didn't know with whom I will be in that trip. I have to say that it was an excursion of the university but it was exciting to be with different people that you don't know because you know them as time passes.
we departed at 8 pm and we arrived on the next day at 7 pm, almost 1 day inside of the bus, the trip was by Bus.
we arrived in Armenia- Quindio the first stop of the trip, the tour was in the Eje cafetero, a small city, that is conformed of 4 departmets (Quindio, Caldas, Risaralda and Antioquia) in Armenia. I was at the National Coffee park, a beautiful and large park with so many attractions inside there as well has some museum, coffee crops, coffee stores it is so big that I had no time to walk around it.
the same day we depart of Armenia heading to Termales de Santa Rosa De cabal in Risaralda arriving at night there. once there we gone to the thermal pools it was a great sensation because the weather is so cold and the water is very very hot then you want to be everytime inside the thermal water, it is a beautiful place that I have to go again. There I shared with my new friends my trip's friends I have to say that I met good persons and that It was grateful for me.
from Santa rosa headed to Pereria one city of colombia a small city too there we arrived at a hotel.

to be continued.

Made Japanese meals

Yesterday, I woke up at 8 a.m. and ate a banana. My roommate Liam is going back to Melbourne this evening, so I wanted to cook Japanese because he always helps me to understand English and he is so kind to me. I made Japanese curry but I didn't have enough ingredients so I failed to cook. I was a little bit sad and I ate it by myself. After taking a shower, I went to work. Yesterday was so quiet day so I didn't get tired any more. When I got home, I chatted with some roommates about how I change when I am drunk. It was so funny. I slept on bench of street once and I many times don't remember many things when I am drunk. It was so weird but It is funny now. I don't do that now. Then I watched two episodes of "LOST" with Liam, it was the last time to watch this drama with Liam. I will miss him.
Today, I woke up at 8 a.m. and went shopping to get some ingredients. They were a little bit expensive than I thought. When I got home I made some Japanese meals; Miso soup, Nikujyaga and Okonomiyaki for Liam again. I hope he will be glad to eat these meals. Thank you for everything, Liam.

My travelling experiences

Wish I could modify the title into "Countries I travelled" as I basically listed a bunch of countries I travelled. I will share more specific experiences in my future notebook.

Now I think back, I'm fortunate enough to have travelled to many countries in my past. I'm originally from Japan and, strangely enough, I haven't really travelled inside Japan. I always chose to get out of Japan. I've stayed in multiple cities in England, travelled across France, took trains to go across Belgium, Holland, Germany, Italy, Vatican and Austria with my friends when I was a university student. I've visited my relatives in California and then travelled around on the West Coast by myself. I also flew from England to NY with my friends. After my university graduation, my friend who speaks Spanish fluently accompanied me to her trip in Mexico and Peru. After moving to Canada, my parents "hired" me as a guide to their trip to Europe and we visited England, France, Italy and Spain. I travelled to China with my mom and visited my sister in Singapore last year. I also stayed in South Korea on my way to Japan at multiple times. Since my childhood, I always admired different worlds where different people live in different ways. I think this is because Japanese culture often emphasizes on being the same with others and also because my mother had admiration for foreign cultures.

Diary of my life in Canada　July 20

Nowadays, I feel I'm getting used to speak English more fluently!

I'm really happy! Thanks to everyone who corrected my notebook!

But I still have some problems.
First, I can speak only about daily conversations.
What did I do, what I want, something like that.
I have to speak about more specific topics such as the news, academic contents, or economic contents.
I need more time to study about that.
When I can speak fluently about these kinds of contents, it means " I speak English."
It's my goal!

How long do I need to achieve my goal ?...
Anyway, I'll do my best!!!
