新年明けてから (2014/1-2)

もう3ヶ月が過ぎようとしていますが、皆さんはどのようにお正月を過ごされましたか？（いまさら・・・）うちはカミさんの妹が頼んでくれたお節料理を頂きました～

おいちかった！

 んでもって暇つぶし？じゃないけど、ご覧の通り500円玉貯金が満杯になったので、

 ぜーぶ開けて数えてみたり、

 すんごい入ってましたｗ

 志摩スペイン村でジェットコースターに乗ってみたり、

 新しいゲスト（ミカエル）が来て、英語も日本語も通じないので困っていたら、

クアウとクリスがフランス語に訳して通訳してもらったり、

 ミカエルはいつも楽しそうで、

 クリスは駄菓子屋で買った甘い梅干を食べて見たり、

クリスがじきに帰っちゃうから、居酒屋で送別会をしてみたり、

 ミカエルはボードゲームに熱中して、

 オーナーズイベントとしてボウリングに行って、

この時は前職・現職の同僚とかも誘ってみたり、

ミカエルが最後までちゃんと投げれなくて、みんなで爆笑したりｗ

 でも最後は巨大ジョッキで彼1人はとても楽しそうで、

そーんな過ごし方してましたｗ

Owners Event in Dec: An year end party （忘年会) with Cuau's family

We had 忘年会 with Cuau's family, they visited Osaka and stayed at my place for a few days.
So we had dinner together, played games together, and speech made by our guests.

Cuau and Christine made speech in Japanese, Musashi in English. Everyone presented themselves well, and it was interesting to hear their opinions.

We also played Jenga! Look how serious Christine is. 

あんまりしゃべらなかったら可愛いんだけどなぁ。。。ｗ

And here are Cuau's family, father, mother and younger brother.

This home-made pizza is delicious!!!

They look sooo cute! いただきまーす all together =)

And here are deserts made by my wife, yeah I know. She is a great cook.

And finally Santa has brought a present to someone who has been a good boy.

Energetic Komusume（小娘） from Germany?

We had a very energetic girl from Germany, who rode bicycle from my house to Umeda everyday! At first, it took 60 mins and later she said it only took 40 mins or so.
Unfortunately, she had to leave here for the rest of her trip for Tokyo, Hokkaido and back to Germany. But we had so much fun with her!

At the end of her stay in Osaka, we decided to go to a Japanese style hotel（旅館）.
We went to this place: 檜扇荘　http://www.hiogiso.com/
Pictures below are from the Ryokan, they had swing and table-tennis made of the real Hinoki.
The owner was very friendly and cheerful, we highly recommend here not only for Japanese but foreigners.

Owners Event in Nov: Hiking @ Akame-shijyuhachi-taki （赤目四十滝）

For the owner's event in Novermber, we went hiking in Mie. There were many waterfalls and great nature with red-yellow leaves. It was the perfect day =)

Everyone looks happy!
Let's see again at the end if they still look happy or tired lol
Someone is trying to put a stamp on a passport......

 And this Cuau found a creature from his home country.

Mexican creature is taken photo by a Mexican guy.

 We were welcomed by a cow, I forgot why there was a cow though.

 As we go hiking, there were many waterfalls, red-yellow leaves, and huge rocks!

Besides, the air was so fresh and really it was the best weather for hiking.

Christine always wants to take a different route. hahaha active girl.

And finally lunch time! Sayo prepared it for everone, (I also made rice balls).

It was all delicious and we ate everything.

Please enjoy the beautiful waterfalls.

 

 This is when we got to the waterfall, the nearest from the peak.

Everyone is still smiling =)

And we all came back safe.

Aaron and Christine never looks tired.

Whereas, Sayo and Cuau looked very tired when we reached the bottom.

Anyhow, it was a great day and hope everyone enjoyed the nature.

 こんな素敵なとこでした～
