Busy weekend

I have 3 day weekend every week! I can relax and do everything what I want to do. But I often have part-time job. So, My weekend is very busy. Weekend is not really weekend for me. If I have free time, I will sleep late and won't do anything. It is really weekend for me. If I have long vacation, I want to travel a lot of places! I want to visit Hawaii, Europe, and South Korea. But it cost a lot of money. So, I have to work very hard. and make money!
My week is very busy. But, I spend every day fulfillng:)

Traditional day!

The shrine

My favorite holiday is New Years day!
My house is a shrine. So, my family are very busy at the beginning and the end of year. Last year, I stayed my home alone. I watched TV very long time alone.  And, I laughed watching TV alone. My favorite holiday is very lonely day.
Two years ago, I helped my family as priestess with my friend. We sold many charms , fortune and so on. We had to calculate without using calculator. But it was part time job. so , I was received money from my family. It is good way to make  pocket money :) But We had to put up with cold on midnight and calculate faster. New years day of two years ago was not lonely day.
This year, I am planning to spend time with my friend in my apartment. I will not be able to go back my hometown. Because I have a job and no money to use transportation cost. I hope this year will be very exciting day!!

I am not busy?

On Monday, I have 4classes. I learn English, Korean, history, statistics. After finishing classes, I have club activity of South Korean culture reserch club. My teacher teach us South Korean language. This is not class. It is hard for me. But I want to learn more because I am interested in it. And I want to speak Korean. I have to stay so long time in my university. Monday is very busy day for me. I don't like Monday :(On Tuesday, I have 2 classes. They start over the noon. So, in the morning, I sometimes sleep in, and go to driving school. I learn English and social science research. On Wednesday, I have 2 classes. I learn English and Korean.On Thursday, I have Korean class and Freshman field seminar.On Friday, I have no class! So, I can sleep late. But I have to go to driving school....

If I have any free time, I have to go to driving school and part time jobs. I have worked at clothes shop. I sell clothes and comunicate with customers. I like this job!
My university life is not busy, but i have to go to driving school, and to work part time job. So, my life is very busy.

Music and Korea

Hi:)
I join light music club. I play the guitar. But I can't play well. I want to play it better. On June, I had first live, and performed with my friends. I was so nervous, but I could enjoy playing the guitar! This is a photo of my first live. Right is me! But I  made so many mistakes. Members helped me! I want to improve it.

Right is me!

And, I join South Korean culture club. I study Korean language, culture, and so on. When students of South Korea came to Japan to study Japanese, I had Japanese class with them and teach them. I could communicate with then. It was good experience for me! l and my friend invited the students and held party! This is a picture before making dinner. We made okonomoyaki and they made takkarubi (Korean dish) use chicken and vegetables. It was little spicy and I felt really Korean taste! It was so good :9

Hot Spring Paradise!

This is gate of my house

My hometown is Oita. IOita is famous by onsen (hot springs), shiitake mushroom, and kabosu (a type of citrus fruit), fried chiken and so on. Especially, I tell 2 things to you about Oita :)
First, people eat so much chicken. Most people like fried chicken very much! The consumption of chicken is the most highest in Japan. There are many fried chicken shops in Oita. Each shop has its own flavor. It is so good!
Second, there are many Onsen. One of the ways to enjoy the hot spring is jigokumeguri. Many tourists make a tour of jigogu (hell). Onsen calls hell because it is too much hot to take, and it has many colors. There are 8 hells in Beppu. For example, sea hell, bloody pond hell, tornado hell, and more. There is a steamed vegetable, egg and pudding. They are so delicious:9
Please come to my hometown, Oita!!!!


I'm Rihoko ：）

This is the shrine.

Hi!! My name is Rihoko. Nice to meet you :D

I'm from Oita prefecture in Kyusyu. I live seaside. It takes to go to only 30 seconds from my house to the sea by walk. There are 5 people and a cat in my family. Cat's name is Komachi. This comes from Japanese beautiful woman. She is brown, and looks like wearing white socks. She is so cute. I like animals very much. And, my house is a shrine. It is not big. But I like there atmosphere. It is so mysterious. I like sea foods very much. But I can't swim well.....

I like playing the guitar, listening to music, watching DVD (movies, concerts, dramas....), shopping and so on! I often listen to American music and to watch American dramas. It is so cool. I like it. I like trip. I often go to unknown place to see my favorite musician. One of  my favorite musician is CNBLUE. It is rock band from Korea. They are so cool!

I had practiced naginata and shodo for about 10 years. Naginata is a kind of budo, and looks like kendo. It is traditional sport in Japan. If you interested in it, please ask me!
