Appreciation

Dear Tracy and my friends who lives in Australia

I really appreciated to meet all of you. it was nice to see you.
I think I can't live without uou. I thanks to you helping or supporting for me.
I'll never forget everything. Sometime I had homesick and really depressed. at that time you gave me some advices or hugs. I could settle down. Other than that, I had very nice time. I learned many things. Not only English. I'm so glad about went to Australia. If I have a chance, I really want to go again.
Actually I'm little bit sorry for my family, especially my parents. I told my family and some of friends. I already think about back to Australia. My excitement is not in Japan. It's in Australia. I start moving a little. It's depends on my chance. I mean I need sponsorship of company. It's bit hard to find I think, but I'll keep trying.
'Be brave', I keep my mind. Thank you Tracy. Told me this phrase. I always in my mind.
Thank you for all your help.
See you sometime...

From the sky

~Great Barrier Reef~











I didn't go Great Barrier Reef, but I saw awesome view from the sky.
It was gorgeous.

~Moonrise~












I saw an interesting thing form the airplane.
It was moonrise. It's bit hard to take it, because airplane has double window and not clear, but I tried.

Pretty, isn't it?

~My teddies~












Those stuffed animals are one of my my collection.
Can you see Ginger boy(From ginger factory) and small teddy(From small teddy bear shop)? Those are I bought.
Other teddies are I got from some one.
Most of them are my host mom. Pink teddy(My birthday), Koala(Before going to Melbourne), and wearing red ribbon(From RedKite which I had some volunteer works).
In the middle who wearing uniform is from my host mom's friend. I had some volunteer work her office. that uniform is ambulance officer wearing that too. It's so cool.
I love teddies.
Can you see on the back there are few. Those are my host mom's. Those are also very pretty too. :-)

Day trip

~Cleveland~
































I went to Cleveland to see pretty light house and great view.
It was beautiful weather.
That tree is Queensland's oldest banyan tree.
Banyan is one of the fig family.
I had a lunch with red wine.
It is one of Sirromet red wine. I wrote down the name of wine, but accidentally I throw it when I left host mom's house...
I found a pretty light house there.
It was pretty which I expected.
I was walking around the seaside. I found very interesting beach.
The sand is red. I've never seen before like that beach.
I like the contrast of beach and sky.
It's so gorgeous.

Trip to NSW

~Casino in NSW~































I was meeting my friends in Casino.
Casino is located in NSW. It was almost 7 hours to trip from Brisbane.
I saw a big brawn on the way to Casino. It was huge.
River photo is close to my friend's house. My friend took me there. I heard there is platypus living, but unfortunatley I couldn't see it... maybe next time someday.
My friends took me Byron bay. It was gorgeous day. We went to light house. Luckily we saw whales. There were four of them. It was really nice to see them.
I had a Japanese food there. I ordered Sashimi plate. It was really nice taste of sashimi.
I saw brilliante view from the hill. It was a sunset.
