Random Saturday

I am enjoying my blog in Japanese as well as English.  I am glad I have something that reinvigorated my Japanese Study.  I picked up a couple of good study tools this week focused on reading and listening skills.  I am going to take the official Japanese Language Proficiency Exam on December 4th.  I think I will take level N3 but haven’t decided which level for sure.   If anyone else is studying along on this site I would love to hear from you, drop me a line.    Also if you are a native Japanese speaker, please feel free to drop me a mail to correct any mistakes you see in my Japanese.

Today is Random Saturday, as I was cleaning up my Lightroom a bit today and had a lot of photos still to post… starting with The Star Lounge in Shibuya.

今日はランダム土曜日です。Lightroomをそうじしました。たくさんしゃしんがあります。

Today’s configuration: Today I shot my Leica M9 and I shot all of my lens: Summilux 21mm f/1.4, Summilux 35mm f/1.4, Noctilux 50mm f/0.95.  I also shot my Canon 5DMKII with a 24-70 f/2.8.

今日のカメラ：私のライカM９をつかいます。レンズをぜんぶつかいきりました。私のCanon5DMKIIもつかいました。レンズは24-70f/2.8をつかいました。

I pass this bike all of the time in Shinjuku…

毎日しんじゅくでこのバイクをみます。

My S4…

私のS4です。。。

I have a business trip to Hong Kong next week, starting on Tuesday.   Last time I went to Kong Kong I ate at Ruth Chris.  God I love this place.   Steak dipped in butter…it doesn’t get much better.    I usually skip lunch the day of and breakfast the day after to fit this all in.

らいしゅうの火曜日からホンコンへしゅっちょうに行きます。前回ホンコンにいったときこのばしょでたべました。すごいおいしかったです。

A band in front of Shibuya Station.

I finally went to a salon…as my hair was getting long (relatively speaking)

I care about myself….so I went for Sushi.

あとはスターバックスコーヒーをのみました。

I noticed out my window that they were washing the building…

Stopped by MAP camera for a browse…

Mayumi, Kai and I went to the park this morning to play…  We found a butterfly on the way.    Kai loves butterflies so we spend some time…

今朝私は真由美ちゃんと海ちゃんとこうえんに行きました。　ちょうちょをみました。　海ちゃんはちょうちょがすきです。

Japanese Word of the Day: 前回（ぜんかい）zenkai – previous time, last time, previous session

example:

前回マクドナルドをたべたらきもちわるくなりました。

The last time I ate at McDonald’s I felt sick.

I was playing around tonight with the slide show feature on my blog so enjoy…
