Old protective street in Hida Takayama ― 高山の古い町並

Takayama Jinya ― 高山陣屋

It is a former government outpost that was established in order to bring the Hida Province under the direct control of the Edo Bakufu (Shogunate). It was established in what is currently Hachiken-machi.

Awaodori

I need to update my travel pics before this happened. lol
anyhow, I went to Tokushima for Awaodori. I also danced in this Arasowa-ren group with bunch of foreigners. totally our group has 250 people! I even didn't know how to dance. I think I showed my horrible move to tons of audience. However It was really fun event!

この写真をUPする前に、これまでの旅行の写真もUPしないといけませんが・・・。
とりあえず、徳島へ阿波踊りにいってきました。ついでの「あらそわ連」ってところで、たくさんの外国人と一緒に踊ってきました。まったく踊り方が分からない！（笑）もう、「のり」です。阿波踊り、すごい迫力でした！

save the universe! :P

very impressive. I like someone who know what they wanna do and should do. As a matter of fact, I believe that if people try hard, Everything gonna be possible. not only be able to speak English well. you know. so, Just do it without stubborn thinking.

also, I feel the same what he said. We are Japanese but English is more direct and easier to communicate than Japanese itself sometimes.

（なんでも頑固な考えをはずして、純粋にやってみれば不可能はないはず。）

（母国語は日本語だけど、ときどき彼が言うように日本語よりも英語の方がダイレクトで、それでいて、お互いを尊重しあっている、そういう意味でコミュニケーションがとりやすいことがよくある。）


しかし、伊勢さん、このシャツはいかんぜよ。（笑）
