My art works

Hello. How are you?

Today, I went to my school again to get my art works after lunch.

In art class, I tried many art techniques.

One class is about 90 minutes and we had art class every day, so we could try many many art techniques.

Today, I will show you my 3 art works.

The left picture was drawn with black leads.

My hands became black every time, but it was fun!

We went outside every time when it was fine.

We tried oil painting to draw many trees.

Oil smell was not good, but it was the first time for me to draw pictures with oil.

It was a good experience!

And we tried water pencils to draw many flowers.

It was also the first time for me to draw pictures with water pencils, so it was also a good experience!

The water pencils are very expensive. Do you know that?

So my art teacher cherishes water pencils.

I won't take art class here any more, but art class was fun for me.

There were many cheerful people like my art teacher.

I wanna keep touch with my art teacher.

See you,

icing cake

Hello, how are you?

Today, I was tired. I don't know why...

So I had a nap for 4 hours...

After having a nap, I went to my host mom's parents' house to see a cake.

Can you see a picture?

Can you believe it is handmade??

My host mom's brother's wife is good at icing cake.

She often makes icing cakes whenever we have events.

I was really impressed by her work every time.

Sadly, cakes are here to eat, so we ate this cake today.

It was a chocolate cake!

My host family is going to family camp in the beginning of July, but I won't go there together because I have to go to my summer school.

So I have to stay with someone while they have camp.

My host mom's brother's couple undertook my second host family, so I will stay with them from July 6th to July 15th.

They said to me, "You will eat cakes as breakfast, lunch and supper while you stay with us!"

Of course, it is a joke, but she likes making icing cakes.

Icing cakes is famous in Canada, but it is not famous in Japan.

If I have a chance to make it, I wanna try!

Bye,

Summer Youth Bus Pass

Hello, how are you?
Today, I went to Mill Woods Recreation Centre to buy summer youth bus pass with Eri in the afternoon.
It cost 68$.
We can use it for two month(from July 1st-August 31st= summer vacation!).
I got two cards.
One is a bus pass during summer vacation and another one is ID.
We can use public swimming pool, gym and so on with ID.
So I will go to Mill Woods Recreation Centre many times during summer vacation.

On July 9th, I will start my summer school.
I will go to my summer school building by bus, so I will use my bus pass every day.

However, if I lost my bus pass, it cannot be reissued.
So we have to buy one again.
Also, if I lost my ID, I have to pay $5 to reissue one.
So I cannot lost them during summer vacation.
I have to pay attention about that.

I can use them on July 1st!

Bye!

West Edmonton Mall

Hello. How are you?
Last Friday, I went to West Edmonton Mall with Eri who is my Japanese friend.
I finished my final exam last Thursday, so I wanted to go out.

There were not so many people in spite of summer vacation.
However, it was on Friday(=weekday), so there were not so many people, I think.

I bought nothing special, but I enjoyed watching clothes, sundry goods, CDs, DVDs and so on.

As you know, West Edmonton Mall is the biggest shopping mall in the world.
So we get tired every time after coming back home.

West Edmonton Mall has "China Town".
There are not only Chinese goods but also Japanese and Korean goods.
There are many Chinese people every day.
Eri and I went there to see Japanese goods.

We found many Japanese goods and we were excited to see them.
However, they are soooo expensive.
Green Tea (Ohi ocha) costs about $7(=about 700 yen)
Milky costs about $5(=about 500 yen)

What else?
There are many Japanese snacks, convenience goods, foods.
We found TSUBAKI!!!(only shampoo)
Eri and I are using TSUBAKI here, of course, we brought them from Japan.
There were only 4 TSUBAKIs here. It means TSUBAKI is very popular here too.
We enjoyed watching(just watching...hahaha) Japanese goods.

And West Edmonton Mall has also water park.
It is very big and it has many water slides.
My Japanese friends and I will go there during summer vacation.
I am looking forward to going there.

By the way, do you want to know what we ate as lunch?
We ate Japanese foods!!
I ate beef bowl(Gyudon).
I haven't eaten bowl(Donburi) for a long time, so I was happy.
However, people who made Japanese foods in that restaurant is not Japanese.
I think they are Chinese... This is because they spoke in Chinese...
Anyway, I enjoyed eating Japanese food!

How was your weekend?

See you,
