Before coming to the Czech Republic, I told M that we would be staying at the Hilton Hotel in Prague, and she told me that there was a monument on the premises that her grandfather had created. It seemed to be a memorial dedicated to Czech people who died during World War II.
I had tried to find the monument the morning before, but couldn’t locate it. So she kindly showed me where it was.
When I asked, “Why did your grandfather create this memorial?” she replied, “I was still child at the time, so I don’t really know.” We took a commemorative photo in front of the monument.
Although it was only a short time—about an hour—I was glad that we were able to deepen our friendship.

今の学期、バイリンガル教育の科目を修めています。今週の話題は「CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning)」で、日本語で「内容言語統合型学習」と言います。
CLILは学んでいる言語で学校の内容も教えてもらいます。言語は家に両親か家族と話す言語じゃないけど、大体の生徒は知らない言語です。例えば、オーストラリアの大半の人口は英語が話せます。学校では、先生は英語で文学か社会学を教えてあげて、同人か他の先生は同じ生徒達に日本語で理科を教えてあげます。
オーストラリアの小学校と高校にはCLILプログラムがあまりありません。ヨーロッパの方が多く行われています。アジアと近いから、オーストラリアの政府はアジアの言語を勉強してほしいです。最近、アジア言語を学んでいる生徒は減っています。私自身は、高校のごろに英語で日本語を学びましたけど、大学で上級日本語を専門したときそんな教育をもらいました。
(文化ノート:オーストラリアでは、小・中・高校はありません。小学校と高校(中学校と高恋混ぜられた)だけあります。)

Do you guys remember I mentioned that 10-year dream of buying a mountain house with a garden to host friends and work? Well, I've finally taken the first step: I got my English tour guide license!
I plan to spend the next 5 years in Shanghai building an inbound travel studio, then use the following 5 years to find and build that ideal mountain retreat.
Here are the three core experiences I'm planning for the studio, and I'd love your honest thoughts as outsiders looking in:
1、Healing in the Mountains: A 2–3 day immersive hiking trip (3–4 hours from Shanghai). Drawing on my experience summiting over 200 peaks in East China, this isn't just a trek—it's about finding your rhythm in nature. Think morning Qigong in the bamboo sea and meditation in tea plantations.
2、Tea & Flowers: A half-day experience right here in Shanghai. We’ll dive into Song Dynasty aesthetics, exploring the elegance of traditional tea ceremonies and flower arranging.
3、From Market to Table: A 3-hour culinary journey through Shanghai. We’ll explore local markets, uncover the secrets of seasonal ingredients based on the 24 Solar Terms, and cook authentic Shanghainese home-style dishes with a modern twist.
As people observing Chinese culture from the outside, do these products appeal to you? Which one would you be most excited to try?
Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance!

Ich habe gerade die Übungsfragen für meinen Algebra-Test überprüfen und die sind lächerlich, ich glaube. Viele der Fragen sind nicht Dinge, die wir gelernt haben, also muss ich jeden Tag die Fragen zu meine Lehrerin bringen, damit sie mir erklären kann, wie man die Fragen löst. Warum machen wir nicht am Ende des Schuljahrs den Test?

Эша — это моё имя для интернета. У меня есть более длинное имя, и в реальной жизни, все такое меня зовут. Но в школе, я хотела иметь короткое имя, потому что я думала что люди не могли произносить моё имя. Некоторое время, я использовала «Аш» когда мне было надо писать моё имя где-то неважно (поэтому не нужно писать целое имя). Например: на чашке в кафе, или в каком сайте. Но мне казалось, что то имя мне не подходило. Мне не нравилось, но моё реальное имя начинается с «А», и я не могла найти лучше образ сокращать эго. Тогда, один день, я была в Старбаксе, и я дала имя «Аш» баристе. Когда я получила мой напиток, я видела что бариста по ошибке написал «Эш». Почему-то, мне очень больше понравилось «Эш», чем «Аш». Нет большой разницы, но я думаю что «Эш» звучит лучше. Более того, мои родители меня звали «Эша» в детстве. С того дня в Старбаксе, себя зову «Эш» в кафе или на интернете. Я «Эша» в местах, в которых я говорю по-русски, потому что я думала что грамматика будет проще если у меня будет имя которое закончает с «а». Но это не имело большое значение, потому что я не часто говорю своё имя.
Иногда, я хотела бы, чтобы я выбрала другое имя, потому что много людей думают что, моё имя звучит как «Иша». Я понимаю, потому что «Иша» более популярное имя, но я не люблю это имя (извините если это ваше имя, лол). Как «Аш», «Иша» мне не подходит. Поэтому, если кто-нибудь зачитает моё имя как «Иша», я его исправлю.

I gave M gifts such as Japanese tea, matcha, tea candies, and various other sweets. Since she has a small child, I chose sweets with as few additives as possible. Japanese sweets are full of additives, which always leaves me feeling conflicted.
In return, M gave us gifts that were even more generous than what I had given. My two daughters also received a notebook featuring a painting of Prague.

When I was a fifth grader in school, I came across a band from the UK, called "Bay City Rollers". I don't remember exactly which TV show featured them. Probably, one possibility is
a variety program called "Ginza Now" which was popular at that time.
I was really into their songs like "Bye Bye Baby" or "Saturday Night".
I clearly remember the moment that I had stood in front of an electronics store and had gazed at the screen with my heart beating fast. There was the live show recorded by the shop owner. Back then, video decks weren't common around typical Japanese households.
Through the glass of the storefront, I saw them on the screen wearing those lovely rea tartan check costumes.
I have loved the pattern of tartan check ever since. And that was also the moment when the UK became a dream country for me.

There is an old saying: "Man is doing, God is watching."
Abraham trusted God, and God took care of him all the way.
Even his maid Hagar was taken care of by God.
Hagar was an Egyptian maid of Sarah, who bore Ishmael to Abraham.
Those who believe in God will find that God will also take care of you and your family.

A few days ago, it was raining all the time.
It's a beautiful spring day, and the sky is blue today.
The highest temperature is 30 degrees Celsius.
I went hiking outdoors for an hour.
I was sweating and it felt great.
I'm a big hiker, and I like hiking.
Yesterday, I went for a walk with my dog.
I go for a walk every day and I feel that my leg muscles have become stronger.

Eu moro numa pouquinha cidade no nordeste dos estados unidos. É uma cidade na beira-mar, temos muitas praias e ilhas. Tem muitas ilhas aqui que são bonitas e tranquilas. Por isso, nossa cidade é famosas porque muitas pessoas compram as ilhas para passar suas ferias nelas. Porém, o norte da cidade que é oposto do mar, tem muitas fazendas. Temos uma fazenda que fornece os ovos por o todo estado e outros estados que são preto. Moro na meia da cidade, onde esta uma convenção da natureza com muitas trilhas. Tenho diferentes animais salvagem em minha quintal as vezes, mas gosto da tranquilizada da natureza.

Hier soir, j’ai regardé le film « The Tunnel ». L’idée est similaire au film « As Above, So Below », qui j’ai regardé vendredi soir. J’ai apprécié tout les deux. Hier soir, j’ai regardé aussi « Lake Mungo », mais j’ai été très déçue par cela, parce qu’il a semblé être présenté(?) comme un film d’horreur, mais j’ai trouvé que c’est seulement un film de mystère(?), ne pas effrayant comme j’ai espéré.

A estas alturas, no es un secreto que el contenido corto al que nos exponemos es perjudicial a largo plazo. No creo que el contenido en sí cause problemas, sino que hay otras cosas que se pueden hacer con ese mismo tiempo y que sí aportan beneficios. Por ejemplo, en lugar de jugar con la tragamonedas que es el algoritmo, puedes leer un libro durante 30 minutos, un pasatiempo que mejora la concentración, según la investigación disponible. Dicen que incluso solo 5 minutos de lectura nos brindan beneficios ligeros. ¿Y qué tal si, en lugar de pasar 15 minutos deslizando, pasamos 5 minutos leyendo, 5 minutos haciendo ejercicio y 5 minutos con nuestra familia?

Sta nevicando oggi. La prima neve della stagione.
Venerdì, 5 dicembre 2025
Più di neve. La stampante è rotta. Mia moglie ha comandato una nuova. Soldi, soldi, soldi!
Sabato, 6 dicembre 2025
Sono andato in palestra e ho suonata il violoncello (ma non nella palestra!) La nuova stampante è arrivata.

Una giornata di sole. La neve si è sciolta nella città, ma rimane nelle montagne. È bello. Ho 35 pagine prima di finire la mia tradotto di "Perry."
