My best Japan trip IV
With my last energy, I reached the reserved hotel around 9 P.M. I hurried step in to the reception. I met a mid-age man, Yoshi-san, who worked for the night shift, but he couldn’t speak English. However, I planned to face this situation so I ask my Japanese friend to wrote me some sentences that could identify myself. With these sentences the reception knew my purpose that I made a reservation for a night in this hotel, but he insisted that I wasn’t make any reservation! Now I needed to use my poor Japanese with Japanese-English dictionary to make many sentences that with a Iittle hoped that he could understand my sentences. It was the worst conversation between us and finally he called his boss who works for the day shift. That was the absolutely correct decision! Thanks god, his boss could speak English and found my reservation in another building. Before I went to the room, I bought some local fruit, apple, form the front desk and I think that were the most delicious apples for me.
After put my bags in the room, I surveyed the building that I stay. That old wooden building decorated with candles and lamps instead of electric light probably an old barn with two storeys, a common room, and almost ten rooms for more than twenty guests. However, that night the hotel had only one guest that was me, so it seem to be a haunted house for that night. Moreover, I heard some scary noise reflex from the floor every time I put my step on it.
Another interest part of the hotel is the bathroom or Onsen which located outside the building. It was the biggest Onsen that I discovered on that trip. It was big enough to welcome more than thirty men at the same time. It had 4 indoor hot spring pool and a small outside one which could see the view of Asahi River. After enjoy bathing, I went to bed. With no doubt, that night I slept like a log.
Next morning, I woke up early and took some pictures around hotel and didn’t forgot to took a picture with Yoshi-san for my good memory.

"Response to Lalita on Got Juice?"
As we know fruits are beneficial for our health—they offer vitamin C and control excretory system going on well. This make me mean to drink fresh juice every week at least a glass of juice once a week. I usually drink it on the weekend because it’s available at a fair market near my home. When I have read all about juice from your text and know more about benefit of juice--juicing is the best way to get enough vital nutrients which enable to reduce our risk of illness or diseases like cancer. It also gives our digestive system a rest because juice is digestible nutrient. For this reason, I mean to force myself to find more opportunities for juicing more than once a week and I believe that many people may try to find more opportunities for juicing, too. Furthermore, juicing helps women stay far from fatness which is an important reason that supports women should drink juice every day.
However, in my view, fruits and vegetables are sources of beneficial nutrients. We should drink juice at least a glass of juice once a week and also eat fresh fruits at the same time in order that we gain truly fresh energy. It will absolutely offer advantage for our health.
Don’t forget! Drink juice as much as you can for your good health!!!

The Monkey’s Paw
Recently, I have just read an interesting short story “The Monkey’s Paw”. It is the story about a family who finds a magic talisman that grants three wishes that also carry with them a lot of tragedy. Today I will tell you all about the story both the most important character in the story and a valuable message that I get from the story.
I think Mr. White is the most important character in the story because Mr. White who is Mrs. White’s husband and Herbert’s father to be the person that processes several events in the story. The story is begun with Mr. White and his son that are playing chess. He is the person who starts to speak many things to induce into the story. He said “I don’t think Sergeant Morris will come tonight”. This is the speaking to introduce readers know a character in the story, Mr. White’s friend, Sergeant Morris. In addition, in a part of the story, when a sergeant throws the monkey’s paw upon the fire, Mr. White is the person who pulls it out and he also keeps it. Although the sergeant warns him that “if you keep it, don’t blame me for what happens!”, Mr. White insists to keep it and this causes horrible events later. So he is the main character for processing several important situations in the story.
In my view, the message of this story is people will get a good or bad result; depends greatly on their own actions. It can bring about danger if people fool with fate. Fate rules people’s lives but fate doesn’t control whole of people’s lives. People should intend to make the goodness to achieve their desires more than asking wishes from an object that they think it has magic charm. If people rely on wishes for impossible something, they will be disappointed forever like Mr. White wishes his son alive again for the last wish but it can’t become to be true. As the end of the story appears that “A cold wind blew up the staircase. A loud cry of disappointment from his wife gave him courage. He rushed down the stairs and out to the gate. The street lamp shone on an empty road.” This demonstrates that his son can’t alive again.
And you??? What do you think about it?

A reason behind women's ambiguity
Sometimes, it's not easy to understand Women. Actually, they don't mean to let it happen, but there is a reason behind this. Maybe they're scared of being disappointed; they say something just to hide their real desire instead. Although doing so, they really want the listeners to know what implied in each message.
As for me, I thoroughly understand how painful when I say something straight but the results are not pleasing, so I sometimes choose to say what contrary to my feeling to avoid being disappointed. However, if I was forced to say straightforward but the result was so unacceptable, I would of course blame myself for the stupidity that occured again and again, and that would make me more reluctant to reveal the real feeling than ever.
