Hello to the World!

Thank you for visiting my blog. I have studied English about 20 years with some breaks in Japan and I will continue, but realized that I need an opportunity to output on a regular basis. Therefore, I opened this blog to share my daily life, interests and also sometimes information about Japan.

Speaking of myself, I am 22 weeks pregnant and it turned out that the baby is a boy at a yesterday's check-up. There are about 4 months to go until his expected date. My husband and I will have to have somethings done before that. What should I buy and do now?? The baby is our first child, so everything related to childbirth preparation is new and excited.

My husband and I are going to visit a insurance shop this weekend to discuss life insurance of my husband preparing for the child's education cost and also for when something happens to my husband just in case. We already went there the other day, but it takes time to buy insurance because it is said "Insurance is the second highest shopping next to house in your life."

Italian Restaurant "Ten" at Tamaplaza

There are many good restaurants and bakeries around Tama-plaza station in Aoba ward, Yokohama. "Ten" is one of the new places opened there. Our family went there to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday at lunch time. You can choose from three types. In each type, you can choose pasta or risotto. There are some varieties for pasta. I picked meat tomato pasta. It started with a salad and soup and appetizer, then continued to pasta and main at last. The main dish was saute pork. They were all good and it taste like a combination of Italian and Japanese. I want to visit for dinner next time. Just one concern I want to mention is that there is not many parkings around. The closest spot is one at a store named "Sankaku Base". We paid 1,200 yen just for two hours..

Prayer for the safe delivery of the child

In Japan, people go to a shrine, in the 5th month of pregnancy, to pray for the safe delivery of the child. My husband and I went to a shrine last month to pray for the safe delivery of our child. It is said on the Dog's day we do this tradition although we can go on other days. Therefore, if it is on weekend Shrine tends to be crowded. Dog's day comes once per 12 days, like 12 zodiac signs and this year is year of the Dog and last year was year of the Rooster. Each shrine has features, and some shrine is believed that they have divine favor for specific pray. For the safe delivery of the child, Suitengu Shrine is very famous. Its origin comes from Fukuoka, and there are others in Japan. We went to Suitengu Hiranuma Shrine in Yokohama.
