My Father

If I go to travel with one of my family for a week, I would like to go with my father. Because I have spent a little time with him.
When I was child, he was busy everyday. Japanese businessman usually spend long time in their offices for 30's and 40's. My father also worked hard. I have met him a couple of times a week. In now, he is 60 years old. he works not hard. I have sometimes talked with him. It was nice time.
10 years ago, I didn't know about his job and why working hard. But now, I know it because I have some experience of working in company. So I respect him because he was always tolerant to me in hardworking. He is very smart and gentle. I want to take after him when I am a father.
I should talk about my father,family and thanks with him. We are going to hot springs in north side of Japan because he likes crabs. We will talk well and enjoy spa and eating, of course. Perhaps he want to go with my mother because he loves her. When he want to it, I may give them a travel. I love them.

TOEIC

I got a TOEIC score that is executed on January. My score was "540".
I have gotten TOEIC tests 4 times. I got "420" in TOEIC score when I was in Japan. And then, I got "480" on last October. And now, It's "540". But, I spent for three months between now and October.

I need "700" in TOEIC score because it's usually certified to be able to use English in business by everybody. I should study hard more. I should use English. It means I have to speak and write and read English.

I tried doing everything with English when I came here. So I have to remember it.

My Favorite Place

My favorite place is "Ishigaki-island". I have been there last June. It is in south of Okinawa Japan. It has a lot of beautiful view spots and really clear sea and good beaches. There are delicious beefs and seafood and fruits and Awamori that is Okinawa's local liquor in it. Everybody is friendly and kind. Of course, the weather is warm on whole year.

There are a lot of activities in Ishigaki-island. While I stayed there, I went seeing a beautiful sunset in a lighthouse. And then I visited liquor maker that has a museum of Awamori and drinking trial. Another day, I took a boat for 20 minutes and went to Taketomi-island. The island has old type house in Okinawa. That house has a beautiful red roof that is composed of special tiles. I enjoyed the view with cow carriage tour. If you have a long vacation in there, you can get Iriomote-island. It has a lot of wild lives and great reforests. There is a cow carriage tour on the water in Iriomote-island. I saw just a picture. But, it was gorgeous. Of course, you can go many marine activities, snorkeling, swimming, diving, riding glass boat and sleeping with wave sounds.

In afternoon, a lot of fruits and sweets wait for you. Ishigaki-island has great tropical fruits. I ate the best tasty mango in the world. Most of farmers ship to markets earlier than mature time of fruit. But, I could get the best. It was amazing taste and texture. I can't forget. Be carefully, if you get it, you will be disappointed with others. Passion fruit is also delicious too. you can get great juices. Next, you can eat fresh, sweet, a few fat beef. You also can eat healthy foods. So, Okinawa has record of average age for die. There are a lot of healthy foods in Okinawa.

If you stay there, It is slowly and luxury time and always with wave sounds and breezes. It makes to feel happy and relax well. You should go there soon!

Actually, the most important reason is to go with my girlfriend. But, I recommend there without that reason.
