Merry Christmas


This is a Christmas wreath we have on our front door. My wife and I, while walking around in a flower market, found a store that sells decorations; from this store, we picked up things that ended up like a Christmas wreath. Wish you all a merry Christmas.

Tracy Chapman


Her voice belongs to a cold morning in autumn, a moment when everything is still hazy and your mind is stil clear. Like that cold draft of wind brushing upon your face, she articulates the ambiguous side in life. No flashy music, just simple few instruments that go with her.

Mini-plays in music class


"Even if the prime minister of Canada won't be able to see this marvelous play," i turned to whisper to Mr. Faulds, a Canadian who is currently staying with us as the teacher in conversation course. This morning, a class invited us to watch their mini-plays in music class.They were hilarious with their not-so-picky props and costumes; I enjoyed it because it was pure fun.

There was no glamorous stages, right costumes nor international-renowned directors and all had a good time laughing. Alatine and Little Mermaid had a date and their first child was Tarzan! Two usually taciturn students showed the singer inside of them; two talkative and vivacious girls doubled up as the right hostesses who connected each piece of the plays intimately. Imagination and anticipation came into to create something better - unhampered interaction between the play and the audience.
