Greenery Day
Yesterday was Greenery Day but spend most of it walking around concrete jungle of Tokyo. I stopped by my favorite shop Gooz in the morning for a cup of coffee. I love the American Gas Station pour it yourself coffee. Its a nice mix of my old and new home... きのうはみどりの日です。東京をさんぽしました。中目黒のグーズでコーヒーをかいました。アメリカのガソリンスタンドのコーヒーやさんみたいです。おもしろいです。懐かしい(なつかしい)です。
Japanese Word of the Day: 双子(ふたご)futago - twins, a twin. for example: Papa those dogs wearing sunglasses look like twins! パパ、この犬サングラスかけてる。ふたごみたい。
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.

Mayumi and I had time for a nice date in Nakameguro. We went to Bonnie Butterfly. We had the most delicious pizza and probably the most unhealthy; lots of cheese, sausage, mayonnaise and french fries. God it was good. I have been in the evening as well and this place is great. Good crowd but not too noisy.
私は真由美と中目黒でデートしました。 すごいピザたべました。チーズとマヨネーズとソーセージとフライドポテトがのっていました。すごいおいしかったです。私はマヨラーです。。。でもヘルシーじゃないですね。

Day 4 with my blogging in Japanese. What does everyone think so far? I am really glad I started doing this. It takes about an extra 30 or 45 minutes but it is really making me much more confident in my Japanese. Each day it gets a little faster. Is anyone following along or studying their Japanese with it? Are any Japanese people following along in Japanese now? Please leave a comment as I would love to know what people think.
日本語をかくのはたいへんです。 30分から40分ぐらいかかります。 だんだんなれてきました。どうおもいますか? 日本人は日本語だけよみますか? コメントをしてください。かんたんな日本語でよろしくおねがいします。
真由美ちゃんーいつもチェックサンキュベリマッチです。。。
