• Prepare a chunk of beef, some vegetables, a cube of beef bouillon, some herbs. The vegetables include some carrots, potatoes, onions, broccoli and garlic.

• Put these cubes into a pod and add 2 cups of water into the pod
• Heat the pod and stew the ingredients for 3 hours
• While stewing, add a beef bouillon cube, garlic and herbs into the pod
• Sprinkle salt and paper
• Serve a bowl of beef stew

Purpose of exhibiting

I read a book borrowed from my boss. The title is "Honesty is rewarded" and the author is a president of an exhibition organiser. I don't have good image about him because when our group exhibited in his company's exhibition his employees were too aggressive and shrewd. But I admit that the organiser is eager to increase the exhibitor's sales in their exhibition. So this book is useful in clearing the purpose of exhibiting.

A Traditional Vaudeville House

My parents and I went to a vaudeville house, Suehiro-Tei, to see some comic storytellers who are my mother' favorite vaudeville program, "Shoten", regularly. There were about 15 variety performances for 3 hours in Suehiro-tei , including Rakugo, Kodan, mandan, magic and the art of cutting paper silhouettes. Before it started I had been afraid of boring them, but it was groundless. I laughed out loud at almost performance, especially Shota-san and Koyuza-san. They both told some short comic tale related current topics or their hometown, and I was interested in that their tales related current topics didn't overlap but tales related hometown called to each other. This is my first time to go a vaudeville house and I like there.

New Year's Scenes

Today, the first day in 2008, I looked some new year's scenes on my way to the post office. Many people was standing in a line to pray to the local Shinto shrine and many shops along the busiest arcade were closed. It seemed a little strange. Well, however, some shops open, including cafes, restaurants, bookstores, toy shops, DVD-rental shops, cellular phone shops and optician's shops. The prayers rest at those cafes and restaurants. Children buy a book or a toy for their New Year's gift and adults who are boring come to the rental shops. But who goes the cellular phone shops or the optician's shops ? It seems more strange.
