Do you have kids?

Over the weekend I went with my family to Mt. Fuji Kid's World. (子供の国) I think it's a great place to take your kids to play. There are many different "play" areas where kids can climb on a jungle gym, ride a kayak or play in the water, ride many different kinds of bicycles, ride a horse, and see lots of different kinds of animals and bugs.
It's located near Safari Park on Mt. Fuji, and doesn't take long to get there. If you have a free day, I suggest you check out this place with your family - it was a lot of fun.

un happy weekend

Hi, I'm rie3. I damaged my knee.
I'm going to a oriental hospital now. It's acupuncture and moxibustion. It's feeling pleasant.
I feel worthless, because there are not favorite mountain climbing and volleyball.
Though it is autumn of sports...

A new listening site

I'd like to thank Kazu for this great new news listening link. If you visit VOA (Voice of America) in the Special English section they have daily news stories with both a listening part and the tapescript. It's very useful for practicing your listening and also learning new vocabulary. I suggest you check it out!
