As for Crown Princess Masako

Hi, everyone!

Alice, it is hard to follow the evolution of electric appliances, isn’t it? I want to get a DVD recorder, but my DH usually says to me, ‘you can get it if the video recorder would be broken.’ He is just an economizer.

Cosmos, my article was on TIME November 5, 2007, P14.
Absolutely our life is also a ball of stress, and we can enjoy it. As for Crown Princess Masako, I’m afraid that she could never free from the stress unless she divorced in the future. But is it possible for her to divorce from Prince under the Imperial family system? I have no idea about it. What a pity!

So, see you tomorrow. Good bye.

Dear Cherry and friends,

There seems to be many mystries in the lives of royal families. I feel very sorry that Princess Masako's ability is not made the most use of. Rather than that she suffers from mental disease.
His Highness Prince Mikasa made a comment on how much stress they have by saying eating breakfast, lunch, and then dinner, that's how the imperial family lead their lives. If so,it must be very stressful, but still I hope I am served like that once in my life time. I'm tired of cooking especially on weekends.

Hi, friends.

Last Friday I went to see autumunal leaves to Kyoto with 4 of my friends. It was a little early for leaves to change colors, but many tourists and students were there.
Firstly we went to Ginkakuji and walked to Honen-in and Eikan-do. There were not so many people in the latter two and we could enjoy them. I liked Honen-in and the cafe near it, which was an Italian cafe and the lunch was very good.All of us chose snow crab'zuwaigani' no pasta with salad and soup.

We met some foreigners and also enjoyed talking with them. Two of them were traveling with their husbands and looked very happy.
We went to Arashiyama next day and enjoyed a trolly train, so called'torokko', which was also full of people. I think Kyoto is full of tourists in this season.

Dear Cherry and friends

Magnolia, how nice you enjoyed Kyoto’s autumn! There are so many famous temples and shrines in Kyoto and they undoubtedly have a fantastic garden with splendid views. So I always think priest in Kyoto are extravagant in a sense. I wish to live in an ancient city even in a year in my life. I’d like to enjoy such graceful mood which Kyoto and Nara are embracing with a long history. However, I don’t like to take ascetic practices or monk’s training but I like meditation. So I am going to bed. Good night, everybody!
