Early morning mist

I need courage to go walking early in the morning in winter. I went walking around 8am today and I could see the early morning mist. It was quite nice.

Recently, I enjoy walking more than I used to because my husband gave me an iPod Shuffle for Christmas. When I listen to my favourite songs, I almost sing or dance on the street... ( like an iPod advertisement.)

My Japanese lesson starts today. Even though I prepared the lesson, I am always nervous at the first lesson after a long vacation.

Year 2008

This is my favourite type of sushi. It is called "Oshizushi" which means "pressed". While I was in Japan last November, I enjoyed eating "oshizushi" with my family. It was very delicious!!!!

By the way, what are your New Year resolutions? My resolutions are:

1. I want to enjoy teaching Japanese and teach more students.
   
2. I've got a piano so I would like to practice everyday and learn new pieces. Recently, I have been playing Beethoven's "Pathetique" and some Chopin waltzes.
3. I've started Japanese/Spanish language exchange - I want to improve my Spanish.
   
4. We joined a Japanese tennis circle. We will be better players in the end of this year!!!
5. Stay healthy and enjoy food!
6. Update my blog often :-)
   

I wish you all a good and happy new year!
