Enjoyed being outside
I went to take a cooking class in Hanzomon today.
On a whim, I decided to view the leaves changing color after the class, so I went to Nagatacho to see rows of maidenhair trees.
Then I happened to know Hie Shrine, which I'd been wanting to visit was nearby.
I went there and enjoyed serene atmosphere to my heart's content.
As it was getting dark, the illumination in Marunouchi sprang to mind.
When I arrived at Naka-street, all the lights were just turned on!
The illumination was lovely; it was like Christmas.
I spent a day doing whatever I felt like doing.
It's really nice to change my pace of life from time to time!

GM Eri!
As you guessed right, there are lots of veggies used in dishes.
Besides, those recipes are very simple and easy, so I always cook what I learn time and again at home.
Oh, you watched "Phantom of the Opera"!
It's my favorite musical and I love the song "All I ask of you" very very much.
Guess what? "Roman holiday" is the one I decided to watch during the winter vacation.
I haven't watched the old movies in my life; I always watch new ones....
Many people suggested me to watch "Roman holiday" including you, so I'll watch it, "Ajustment" and "New Cinema Paradise" renting DVDs at Tsutaya. :-)

What new dish did you learn?
I guess it had a lot of vegetable !
I've heard Marunouchi has the beautiful illumination in winter, so I want to go and see.
Chatting with good friends comforts us.
I can imagine how much good time had with your friend on the phone.
I watched "Phantom of the Opera" in video.
Both the music and play were really wonderful.
I don't have much information on movie, but I like "Roman Holiday".

Hi arie!
Thanks a bunch for your warmhearted message. :-)
I haven't been so tired after jumping out of my quotidian (a new word!) pace of life two days ago, so I might be able to take part in the whole session tomorrow.
CU soon!

Hi, Carrie!
Seems like you really had a great time taking a stroll in the midst of Tokyo.
We just need a little bit of courage to get out of a rut in our daily mundane life.
I admire your courage to jump out of your quotidian pace of life to visit a serene atmosphere of the shrine and even enjoy beautiful illuminations in the center of Tokyo.
You really deserve such a wonderful experience considering your daily assiduity.
See you around.
