The big earthquake at 11th March in Japan

We had gotten the very big Earthquake at 11th March 2011 in Japan.
I couldn't connect the internet service provider while 2 days.

At the moment, I drove the car for my job, I felt there were shaking about 2:45pm.
I didn't have damage because my living place are far from about 5 hundreds kilometers at the center of earthquake.
But a very lot of people dead, maybe over 10 thousands, I'm very sad.

And I'm very concerned about Nuclear power plant at Fukushima. It have had a very big damage.

It is said that we won't get gasoline and oil after tomorrow.
I wish to return to the normal life earlier.

I know that many people are praying for us around the world.
We have very thank.

Do you like to read books?

In Japan it is said that several hundred books are published every day and tens of thousands books in a year.
Maybe Japanese are nation that read many books I think, not only books but also comics and magines though.

This picture is a my book shelf and stocking books other rooms too, so I don't know how many books I have.
My father read many books too, perhaps is it heredity or almost Japanese so?
And Japanese books are probably reasonable, we can buy a hardcover for about 2000-3000 yen, paperbacks are selling about 300-1000yen besides many used books are 100yen.
I usualy read about 10 books in a month, but it cost less 10,000yen.

I like to read books very much.

My TV

This is my TV.

But I almost always don't watch TV programs.
I watch TV only Sunday morning for "Dragon Ball"which is broadcasting Sunday morning at 9:00 in Japan, and sometimes I watch some DVDs something like movies or animations.
I rent some DVDs from rental DVD store near my apartment about once a week, it cost 100yen a week.

I don't watch TV news, though I watch that always on PC or podcast, because it can watch when I wanna, I always watch CNN, ABC and NBC news on my iPhone.
But the announcer speaks very quickly for me so I can't understand only some parts.

My kitchen picture

I can show you my apartment kitchen.

Not saying a nice.

I'm cooking here almost everyday, but sometimes I go out for dinner or buy packed sushi to eat.
I like to cook, it stimulate my mind of artist, aside from taste.

Everyday I try to make new taste, sometimes it fail but it is bringing to me a good experiences for next challenge.

I publish you my desk.

I publish you picture of my desk.

Sorry there is a little bit dirty.
I have two computers, the right one is my main machine and left one is sub but I'm writing this blog articles left computer.

And on the desk are some books that someones are reading now someones are for articles.
I use this desk for to study, to read, to eat, to work, to have a nap, my desk is very useful for me but I think this is a little bit small to do many things at the same time.

I was given this desk to my senior at my college about 20 years ago.

I like this wooden desk.
