    93【Yuttan】Himeji Castle
    Jun 2 2024
    I’ve seen a lot of castles in my time, but Himeji castle takes the cake! It was built in 1609, and even after more than 400 years, it’s beauty is incomparable. I had been looking forward to visiting Himeji castle, so I booked a guide. Having a guide made the experience totally different. He taught me how the castle was built, how it was defended from enemies, how day to day life was for the inhabitants, how strong the castle’s construction is, and the list goes on and on. The wisdom and way of thinking of the people of that time overwhelmed me. During the second world war, the area around the castle was bombed. I thought the reason why the large castle on the hill, nicknamed “Shirasagi”( The White Heron Castle), survived was because the American military knew of it’s historical value. BuuuUUUuuut that wasn’t the reason at all! The castle was covered with black nets! A bomb still fell on the castle tower, but luckily it didn’t explode. The staff risked their lives and carried the bomb out of the castle. Himeji castle standing tall in the middle of burnt ruins must have given people strength and courage. —————————————————————— 🗣Do you study English? Join our club! And why not read your monologue.

    92【YumiMETAL】Another Hero
    May 29 2024
    I went to Primal Fear's show in Osaka. They are a German metal band. As I came in I saw a notice posted on the wall at the entrance to the venue. It said: "Today's show won't be perfect. If you agree to that, please proceed to the venue floor." A spokesperson for the band appeared on the stage when we, the audience, were waiting for the band. She announced, "They can not provide you the show you expected today. Actually, their drummer fell ill yesterday and is in the hospital. Fortunately, we could find a stand-in for this show. They were rehearsing with the substitute Japanese drummer until just now. However, the show will only be half as long as usual today." Then one crazy metal head in the audience called out, "That's fine! Just give us the METAL!!!!" and no one in the audience seemed to have any bones about it. That's the thing about metal heads! We just wanna ROCK!! She continued, saying, "Instead, we'll hold a meet and greet event for everyone after the show!" We were delighted by the band and the crew's respect for their fans. The band and the audience were united and got fired up together. I pictured what happened to the Japanese drummer that morning... He woke up and was having a cup of coffee while relaxing as usual. Then suddenly, his phone rang. "We need you to come here right now. Primal Fear needs you to play the drums at thier show!" "What what what whaaaat? THE Primal Fear? ...today??" Even though he had just a few hours to rehearse their songs, he ripped hard when it was showtime! When the performance of the last song ended, the band members and audience all gave him a round of applause in admiration. He became a hero in that moment, although he was unknown to anyone here until only an hour ago. I deeply realized that you never know when opportunity will come, so consistant practice and preparation are crucial. Afterwards, I got a chance and an amazing offer as well. But I'll talk about that another time... --------------------------------------------- Do you study English? Join our club! And why not read your monologue.

  • 91【Alissa】My New Morning Routine

    91【Alissa】My New Morning Routine
    May 2 2024
    Today, I’m going to talk about a new part of my morning routine where I go outside right after waking up. Initially, I aimed to get back into running after suffering from sciatica last year due to a sedentary lifestyle. However, I found it quite challenging. The most difficult part was getting my butt out of bed and going outside in the cold weather with just my running gear on. My husband suggested that we invest in an stationary bike, which was a perfect interim solution, allowing me to exercise without having to brave the cold. Yet, something was missing… I believe profoundly in the mental and physical benefits of spending time outdoors, so this didn’t really surprise me. After much deliberation, I found a simple yet effective solution: lower the bar to just going outside. Now, regardless of the weather, I step out for a walk. The shift from running to merely being outside has significantly relieved the pressure, making the habit easier to maintain. Integrating photography into my routine added a layer of enjoyment. Taking photos has long been a hobby of mine, yet I rarely had the opportunity to dedicate time to it. By combining it with my new morning walk, it has become something that I feel excited about and makes me pop out of bed in the morning with a spring in my step. Since the weather has gotten warmer, I've begun wearing my running gear during my morning outings. This makes it more likely that I'll spontaneously decide to run, and this month alone I've ran over 50 kilometers in total and I've noticed improvements in productivity and mental clarity throughout the day. This has in turn enhanced my enjoyment of learning English and other daily activities. This simple change to my morning routine has transformed my daily life, and I'm incredibly proud of the progress I’ve made. —————————————————————— 🗣Do you study English? Join our club!
