In the sticks…

G’day mates! It’s Abi!

I have recently returned to my home town. It’s very rural, but I think it’s a very nice place to live. There are only mountains like this. There are only cedar trees.

Most residents suffer from hay fever. This is true and it is very difficult to find someone who does not have hay fever! If you want to know the real Japan, I recommend these kinds of places are worth visiting to relax, and you can know authentic culture and how people live. 

Well, I recommend this restaurant which serves “Yakitori.” The name is “IORI-Yakitori Keita-.” If you want to know what common dishes Japanese people enjoy in the evening, I suggest you go to an “izakaya” like these types of restaurants. Actually, this restaurant is owned by my mom and dad haha. Believe me. I swear.  I will never make you regret it.

How is it. It looks delicious, doesn’t it? When you come to Tokyo, and  if you don’t eat yakitori here, you’ll regret it.

Please come and eat! I didn’t plan to introduce my parent’s  restaurant, but I thought it was the place to go for good food. 

This is how I feel in my hometown, where there is both abundant nature and good food. Maybe it’s because I’ve lived surrounded by nature all my life, but I get tired if I haven’t been felt nature for a long time.

Thank you for reading my blog! I hope you have a wonderful day!

God bless you!

Love,

How to spend a certain day off

Posted on by Abi

G’day, mates! It’s Abi☺︎

I went to Showa Memorial Park and took a walk and did some studying. Perhaps I walked 6km. Well, I was so exhausted. However, it felt really good to be in touch with nature, and above all, to make progress in my studies.

This picture is in a Japanese-style garden. I was studying about IELTS Reading section. I don’t know how to study for IELTS, but I think I should read and listen to the news or these kinds of stuff anyway.

The picture of “Matsu” which is bonsai.

I am in hospital so I can’t come to these lovely parks for lots of hours, but I am trying to walk to gradually get my stamina back. What training, if any, can I do in my hospital room? I will be happy to try it.

Thanks for visiting my blog today. I hope you’ll have a wonderful day.

God bless you!

Love,

Abi🩵💙

Hi there!

Posted on by Abi

This is my first blog. First thing first, I’m going to introduce myself.

G’day mates! It’s Abi. I am Japanese who love Kimonos and studying so hard because I plan to go to University in Australia🇦🇺

So, why did I choose Australia?

First of all, I studied abroad in Australia for 10 days when I was in high school. It was very short, wasn’t it? Then I fell in love with Australia because it has beautiful nature, clean and fresh air, kind people, and a PLATYPUS. Yes, a platypus. lol However, it’s not a joke. I’m a crazy fan of Phineas and Ferb. When I went to Australia at that time, I couldn’t meet a platypus and I was so shocked!! Then, I decided to go there again to meet a cute platypus.

As time went by and I became a university student, I got a chance to go to Australia again. My dream came true, and I could see them! It was such a great great time for me. At that time, I went to Taronga Zoo in Australia. I was so happy to see a platypus.

I studied abroad in Australia as a university student for 10 months. I attended a language school at the University of New South Wales, and it was a very good school, so I wanted to attend that university. But I didn’t have any chance because I didn’t have any money at that time either.

Well, let’s cut to the chase. Why did I make the decision now when I have no money?

I am currently hospitalized with a mental illness. I thought to myself, this is the break God gave me. I thought this was my chance to face myself. Then I remembered the regret of not doing it. It was that I did not go on to an Australian university. For me, that was one of the causes of my illness. I was so excited that I started looking for a university and began studying for the IELTS test.

So after a week or so, I decided to document my reckless challenge for the first time on my blog. I have no money at all. I have no savings. But I really want to go to university and study psychological science.

Many challenges await me in the future, but I will do my best. I look forward to your support. Please visit my blog if you like.　

Thank you for reading this long post! I will be updating the blog gradually. I hope you all enjoy reading it. Thank you and have a great day:>

God bless you ❤

Love,

Abi
