hi. on Monday, i had class only in the morning so i went to the closest beach to my uni. it wasn't a clean beach. and it wasn't big either so i was a little upset. and the weather was sunny, but the wind was cold so we couldn't swim. i could only put my legs into the water.
at first, we had pizza and potatoes. the potatoes were very thick!! i've never seen such huge potatoes. then, since it was a bit cold, we decided to play with sand. we were like little kids lol first we played bury each other in the sand. the sand was heavier than i expected. we also mad a sandcasttle. we did a good job. instead of making a European style casstle, we made a Japanese style casttle. we consider it our Osaka casstle. the beach was in a place about 1 hour from our uni, but i think we had fun. except the cold wind.

!?!?LuCkY oR uNLuCkY!?!?

hi. on saturday, i went to the Healesville Sanctuary. it's a zoo in the country side of victoria. it was a bit cold in the morning so i didn't wear many clothes coz i thought that it was going to be hot like friday. i made a mistake though...it began to rain...i felt like such a loser. and even worse, the air conditioner in the bus was directly coming towards me so it was even colder. PLUS! as soon as we got there, the rain became stronger!! it was a relief after a few seconds coz the rain stopped and sun began to shine. this weather in Melbourne is so unpredictable! i hate it! i don't know how i should wear everyday!!
neway, i had a chance to pat kangaroos but not koalas coz they were not doing such service. i guess only in Goldcoast. but i was happy to see the kangaroos so close.their hair was very fluffy. on our way back, i was very tired. and luckily, the rain started again as soon as i got on the bus and it stopped for me to walk home. so my day was ±０♪

tHaT's HoT!!

hi. since i got here in australia, i was wondering why it's summer and it's cold? what's happening to australia!? i heard that it was going to be summer so i left all my warm clothes in japan!!(because the limit of weight of my suitcase was 20kg which actually they were giving 10kg for service so it was 30kg...and i could've taken my warm clothes)
NE WAY, it was not so hot in melbourne. (by yesterday...)However,to my surprise, melbourne suddenly decided to answer my question...the weather cast said that it was going to be 27degrees while i bet it actually had more than 30degrees!!! i nearly was burned from the sun!!! i was so scared if i wouldn't catch a skin cancer lol seriously!!
i better buy a sunscreen coz this weekend, i'm going to hold some koalas and hopefully go to the beach with my friend♪

hi. last saturday I left japan to come to australia. this is me and ayumi in singapore. we were in the same plane only from osaka to singapore. since we had a tragetic goodbye with our family and friends in osaka, we were a little down↓↓we miss all of them so bad...i didn't think it was gonna be so hard. i'm such a weak person lol
and thank you for all of the people who came and sent me emails after my departure.
but now I'm OK. i'm just having a homesick. when the classes begin, i may forget about homesickness and be busy with my studies. don't worry coz im not gonna forget you.
this weekend I'm going to a place i don't know where to see australian animals. this should be fun coz the other students from gaidai are going so i can talk to them.


by the way, let me show you my new girl friend, i mean, one of my host family members lol this is Meg! she is 3 years old. she likes to come into my room even with her mom telling her not to. but i've already told my host mom that it's OK coz i like kids. she is really cute! with this angel face, she talks in japanese to me and always sing songs like "ゆうやけこやけで日がくれてぇ♪”　and her japanese has an accent of a foreigner so it makes her even prettier than she is!! i'm very happy with my host family.
