　寒い日が続いています。今年の冬は各地で大雪となっていますが、ここ野々市町では思ったより雪は積もっていません。ただ、インフルエンザや風邪がとってもはやっていて、毎日のように誰かお休みしています。40度近い熱がでるそうなので、とてもかわいそうです。みんな早く元気になってね。&lt;br /&gt;　グレースは来週で10ヶ月。今はつかまり立ちでどこでも行ってしまい、いろんな戸びらを開いて中をチェックしまくっています。まだ言葉は出ていませんが、Hello!と電話に向かって何度か言うことができていました。偶然そう聞こえただけかもしれませんが・・。&lt;br /&gt;　もうすぐ新学期ですね。また新しいお友達が増えることを楽しみにしています。やはりこの時期は英語を習い始めるお子さんが多いので、お早めにお問い合わせいただくことをお勧めいたします。最近グループレッスンも空席が少なくなってきてしまったので、せっかくお問い合わせいただいても、ご案内できないことがあります。4月からは時間編成も変わりますので、もし英語を始めてみようかなとお考えの方は、お早めの体験レッスンご予約をお待ちいたしております！&lt;br /&gt;　それではまだまだ寒い日が続いておりますので、皆様お身体にお気をつけくださいね。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3992600067563953367-5929565436689566142?l=forestenglish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://forestenglish.blogspot.com/feeds/5929565436689566142/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3992600067563953367&amp;postID=5929565436689566142' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3992600067563953367/posts/default/5929565436689566142'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3992600067563953367/posts/default/5929565436689566142'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forestenglish.blogspot.com/2012/02/blog-post.html' title='新学期'/><author><name>Forest English</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01068519612516731756</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/SM0MKyXTxRI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jA_VJEx2uc8/S220/picturesmall1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rDaMYQE_mxE/TzRyIdUNEEI/AAAAAAAAAJE/0aZGhHvyfBg/s72-c/DSCN1702blogcrop.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992600067563953367.post-6170332282802921676</id><published>2011-10-13T18:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-13T18:54:59.309-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Almost 6 Months Old</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pp8CIscwsi8/TpeWY83xTVI/AAAAAAAAAIk/AeP3b876d90/s1600/DSCN0972.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

We have many kinds to chose from; traditional Japanese, Italian, Indian, noodle shops, rice ball shops, fast food shops. Today we chose our late lunch at Ebi-ya, a small restaurant which used to be a steak house. It sits on the first floor of an apartment building on the banks of the Fushimi river very close to a well known Kampo (Chinese herbal medicine) shop. They now specialize in Kame-meshi, freshly baked rice with various mixed in ingredients. Since the rice is cooked separately for each dish the result is a better flavor for the customer. I ordered the sansai (mountain vegetables) set and my wife ordered the asari (small clams) set. This came with two mini hamburgs, miso soup, salad, pickles and a choice of desert and beverages. We selected hot coffee and goma (sesame) ice cream. The meal was good with the fresh flavors mingling together as the jazz music played softly in the background. The price was also very good at 980 yen for each set.&lt;br /&gt;Open your pallet to new adventures and check out a different restaurant in your area today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;私たちは時々、まだ行ったことのないレストランに行ってランチを食べることがあります。和食、イタリアン、インド料理、ラーメン屋さん、おにぎり屋さんなどなど、たくさん選択肢がある中で、今日は「えびや」という釜飯屋さんで遅いランチを取りました。そこは以前はステーキ屋でした。伏見川沿いのビルの一階にあり、漢方薬局の近くです。釜飯がメインのレストランで、具をいろいろ選ぶことができ、一人ずつ選んだ具が入った釜が目の前に出てきます。主人は山菜ときのこの釜飯、私はあさりをオーダーしました。釜飯のほかに、サラダ、小鉢、煮込みハンバーグ、お味噌汁、お漬物、デザート、飲み物までもついてきます。私たちは、ごまアイスとホットコーヒーをいただきました。炊きたての釜飯はとてもおいしく、ジャズが静かに流れていてとてもすてきな空間でした。これだけついて、それぞれ980円のお値段はとてもリーズナブル！また、これからも新しいレストランを開拓してみたいと思います。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/TAzIAKVV9ZI/AAAAAAAAAGw/I461FQjskFY/s1600/ebiya5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

朝晩かなり寒くなってきましたね！体調をくずされている方も多いようですので、皆様どうぞご自愛ください。私はというと、いつまで半そでで粘れるか頑張っていましたが、とうとうあきらめ長袖になりました。&lt;br /&gt; さて、先週石川県白山市（旧尾口村）のおくの奥、岩間温泉に言ってきました。温泉旅館はもう廃業してないのですが、天然露天風呂があり、無料でだれでも利用できます。といっても入っているのは男の人ばかり。私はさすがに遠慮しました。でも、すごく気持ちよさそうだったので、いつかまた平日に水着持参でトライしたいと思います。実は今回の目的は温泉ではなく、さらに４０分ほど歩いたところにある噴泉塔を見ることでした。川沿いに石の塔がいくつか立ち並び、その先端から高温の温泉が噴出している・・はずでした。が、たどり着くとそんな光景はまったく見当たらず！岩から煙があがっているところや、温泉が流れだしているところはありましたが、岩から勢い良く噴出している、geyserみたいなものはありませんでした。後で聞くと、何年か前の地震で塔がすべてなくなってしまったそうです。往復１０キロも歩いたのに・・・無念。まぁ、いい運動になったかという一日でした。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3992600067563953367-4630837402341709130?l=forestenglish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://forestenglish.blogspot.com/feeds/4630837402341709130/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3992600067563953367&amp;postID=4630837402341709130' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3992600067563953367/posts/default/4630837402341709130'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3992600067563953367/posts/default/4630837402341709130'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forestenglish.blogspot.com/2009/10/iwama-onsen.html' title='Iwama Onsen'/><author><name>Forest English</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01068519612516731756</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/SM0MKyXTxRI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jA_VJEx2uc8/S220/picturesmall1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/StXaLEg2rxI/AAAAAAAAAEM/2zU_SvU3f5w/s72-c/IMG_2225noisereduc.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992600067563953367.post-8719170744784773116</id><published>2009-10-01T06:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T07:08:01.162-07:00</updated><title type='text'>October is here!</title><content type='html'>October is our favorite month of the year!

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is great to be back teaching everyone again, but we had an exciting Golden Week! Wanting to try something different we set out on our bicycles to cycle around the Noto Peninsula from Nonoichi all the way around to Notomachi (Ushitsu). With good weather and little wind the riding was enjoyable and gave us great views at the tops of hills and along the coastal highways and cycling paths. &lt;br /&gt;I compiled a video and might upload it soon. &lt;br /&gt;Hoping all of your Golden Weeks were filled with rest and excitement with your families and friends.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Over the years I have noticed how it is always a challenge to motivate and encourage students as they study this difficult subject of English. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Normally&lt;/span&gt; I am a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;positive&lt;/span&gt; person who wants to see all students grow and improve, but trying to stay creative can be a struggle from time to time. Teaching is an amazing job and I feel blessed to have the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;opportunity&lt;/span&gt; to instruct the children and adults at our school. Every day brings something new, which is always exciting!

/&gt;　お正月は毎年そうなのですが、私たちは特になにもspecialなことはしていません。本を読んだり、必要なものを買い揃えたりするくらいです。私の実家は金沢なので、元旦の夜に実家でおせち料理をいただくくらいです。あと、運動不足解消のため、ふらふら散歩ばかりしています。&lt;br /&gt;　お正月のお買い物で、私はとうとうbread makerを手に入れました！以前知り合いの方から貸していただいていたのですが、フル活用していたので、自分のものを持つことにしました。これで毎朝焼きたてのパンを食べることができます！シナモンロールも簡単にできる！（と思う）。主人はミニパソコンを買いました。acerというメーカーのもので、重さ約１キロ、HD160GBです。値段も安いしとっても便利ですよ！&lt;br /&gt;　さぁ、今日からレッスンスタートです！久しぶりに皆さんに会えるのを楽しみにしています。今年も少しずつ、着実に英会話力をつけていきましょう！　 &lt;br /&gt;　&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;先週土曜日に、フォレストイングリッシュのクリスマスパーティを行いました。総勢２０名の子供たちが参加して、とても楽しい時間をすごすことができました。みんなレッスン曜日や時間が違うので、初めて会った子同士が多かったのですが、いつの間にか友達になっていて、私たちの方がびっくりでした！２０名の子供たちが集まったので、ちょっと部屋が狭かったな？来年は、小さい子グループと大きい子グループに分けてパーティをすることにしますね！&lt;br /&gt;なるべくアメリカのパーティの雰囲気に近づけたかったので、ケーキやスナック、ペーパートレイ、ナプキンなどすべてアメリカの義母から材料を送ってもらいました。ケーキはAngel food cake、French vanilla cake、carrot cakeを焼いてみました。cookieはカナダ出身のLorraineさんが、M&amp;amp;M cookies, butter scotch cookiesを焼いてきてくれました。あと、candy cane味のオレオやプレッェルなど用意したのですが、子供たちには初めての味だったらしくあまり好評ではなかったかも・・・。旦那はどれもなつかしい！といって喜んで食べていましたが・・。来年への課題が見えたので、改善を加えてさらに来年は楽しいパーティにしますので、また参加してね！！それでは、Merry Christmas to you

The forest around the base of the mountains was green and shining with the water from the nights rain and we hard a good time hiking to the top of this small mountain. On the way up we found lots of Ho leaves fallen on the trail and even some snow! At the top we could see some dark clouds heading our way, but it didn't matter- we were hiking. There is a nice little cabin just below the peak and we were very lucky to find a charcoal fire in the fire pit in the center of the room. We ate our ramen and drank coffee as another hiker played his bamboo flute outside. On the hike down it was raining, but before getting half way down the skies cleared a bit and we could once again see down into Komatsu and Kaga until we fell below tree line. Overall a great short hike and worth going out into the woods!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/SSn5zPYYPmI/AAAAAAAAAB4/HRG-6Hvpd2k/s1600-h/kurakakeyama+Nov+2008small.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 247px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/SSn5zPYYPmI/AAAAAAAAAB4/HRG-6Hvpd2k/s320/kurakakeyama+Nov+2008small.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272019497511304802" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3992600067563953367-7749174931923389953?l=forestenglish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://forestenglish.blogspot.com/feeds/7749174931923389953/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3992600067563953367&amp;postID=7749174931923389953' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3992600067563953367/posts/default/7749174931923389953'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3992600067563953367/posts/default/7749174931923389953'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forestenglish.blogspot.com/2008/11/kurakakeyama.html' title='Kurakakeyama'/><author><name>Forest English</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01068519612516731756</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/SM0MKyXTxRI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jA_VJEx2uc8/S220/picturesmall1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/SSn5z75o-WI/AAAAAAAAACA/Q6eWaDYOKss/s72-c/CIMG4418small.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992600067563953367.post-4144831723014279517</id><published>2008-11-19T17:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-19T17:53:45.944-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='thanksgiving'/><title type='text'>Happy Thanksgiving!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;We are so thankful for the many students here at Forest English and we are wishing all of you a happy Thanksgiving day.

type='text'>Open　Church</title><content type='html'>　ご無沙汰しております。３連休いかがお過ごしでしたでしょうか？フォレストイングリッシュのエモリ夏代です。&lt;br /&gt;私たちは土曜日レッスンがあるので３連休ではありませんでしたが、日月といつも通りのお休みでした。&lt;br /&gt;　土曜日は、私たちが行っている金沢西聖書教会でオープンチャーチがありました。お天気が良かったこともありたくさんの人がきてくれました！私は、木工作コーナーを担当でしたのですが、子供たちがいっぱい集まってすばらしい作品を作っていきました！私は前職で、石川県庁の林業技師をしていました。たまにイベントでこのような木工作をしていたのですが、ある材料で私なんか考えもつかないようなものを子供たちがこつこつと作り上げていくのを見て、彼らの創造力のすごさに驚き感心させられることが多々ありました。県庁をやめて英語の先生になったので、まさかまたこんなふうに木材に関わることがあるとは思ってもいなかったですし、久しぶりに木の枝やどんぐり、松ぼっくりを集めたりしたので懐かしかったです。でも、私はどちらかというと、こまごました作業は苦手なので、チェーンソーでどーんと木を倒す現場や高性能林業機械などが動いている作業現場などを見てわくわくしていましたが・・・。とにかく、前の仕事を生かす機会が与えられて感謝でした。&lt;br /&gt;　さらに今年のオープンチャーチでは、アメリカ海軍に所属のピアニスト、ディビッド・マスターソン先生の演奏があり、とてもすばらしかったです。映画音楽を中心に愛をテーマに演奏してくださいました。先生の人柄もすばらしく、温厚で愛に満ちた方です。また、ぜひぜひ金沢に来て演奏してもらえたら、と切に願います。&lt;br /&gt;　それでは、今週もどうぞすばらしい一週間となりますように！&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Rainy Friday</title><content type='html'>今日はしとしと雨降りでしたね。みなさんいかがお過ごしでしょうか？&lt;br /&gt;それにしても、もう十月後半だというのにあったかい！昼だけではなく夜も暖かい。今晩も半そで・短パンでジョギングできてしまいましたよ。活動的でいられるのはうれしいですが、こんなに暖かいと薄気味悪くもあります。一方、主人の両親が住むメーン州ではもう雪が降ったそうです。一年のうち６ヶ月は冬だそうですが、そこでも徐々に気候は変わりつつあると言っています。冬はマイナス30度くらいになりますが、これまで雪はあまり降らないところでした。しかし、去年は雪がどかっと降って、学校もしょっちゅう休校だったそうです。やはりアメリカでも、雪の降る地域が北に移動しているそうですよ。&lt;br /&gt;今日は、レッスンがなかったので河内村に住むマハーさんの家でランチをいただきました。奥さんはすっごくお料理上手で、さらにアメリカ料理を作ってくれるので、主人はいつも大喜びです（日本料理大好き！と豪語していますが、ほんとはやはり向こうの料理のほうがおいしいと感じるようです）。今日は、Shepard Pie(シェパードパイ）、手作りのロールパン、サラダに、デザートは Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler（ストロベリールバーブコブラー）でした！！シェパードパイは家でも作るのですが、何かか違う！どうやったらあんなんになるんだろう・・・。再度挑戦です！カメラを持っていったのに、食べるのに夢中で写真を撮り忘れてしまいました・・・。残念。おみやげに、これまた手作りのピーナッツバタークッキーをもらったのですが、予想通りあっという間になくなりました。私が作ったブラウニーもどきは昨日から放置され、鳥しか食べていません。&lt;br /&gt;さて、明日は午前中は教会で（私は土曜日の午前中は教会で英語を教えています）、午後からはフォレストイングリッシュです。Haｌｌoween　Candy用意していくので、みんな楽しみにしててねー！Trick or Treatって言わなきゃダメだよ！&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

It was a winding, wildly crowded trip up and over between Shirakawa and Furukawa, but the colors were really wonderful.&lt;br /&gt;        Furukawa resembled the other towns in Gifu I had visited, Takayama and Gujo Hachiman. It seemed much small though and a lot less crowded for a national holiday so that made it better than one of the bigger attractions. There were many temples and pretty streets and I got to see the local specialty, candles.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256774413981228258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/SPPQelm2nOI/AAAAAAAAABY/ep39JXGv9fU/s320/CIMG4258.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        This shop has a nice display of the process and helped me understand the way they make these candles which seem to be mainly used in temples. Though the town is famous for this product I only saw maybe three shops that sold only candles, the rest being typical souvenir establishments. We did get some mitarashi dango and they were delicious!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3992600067563953367-5817505949136846010?l=forestenglish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://forestenglish.blogspot.com/feeds/5817505949136846010/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3992600067563953367&amp;postID=5817505949136846010' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3992600067563953367/posts/default/5817505949136846010'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3992600067563953367/posts/default/5817505949136846010'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forestenglish.blogspot.com/2008/10/going-out-on-national-fitness-day.html' title='Going out on National Fitness Day'/><author><name>Forest English</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01068519612516731756</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/SM0MKyXTxRI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jA_VJEx2uc8/S220/picturesmall1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/SPPQelm2nOI/AAAAAAAAABY/ep39JXGv9fU/s72-c/CIMG4258.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992600067563953367.post-3876745188759263141</id><published>2008-10-10T06:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-10T07:27:49.476-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Love Bird</title><content type='html'>前回の更新からだいぶ時間がたってしまいました。&lt;br /&gt;フォレストイングリッシュのエモリ夏代です。&lt;br /&gt;最近私たちは、フォレストイングリッシュのチラシのポスティングをしています。すぐ近所なのに、こんなところにこんな通りが！という発見が毎日あり、とてもわくわくしながらやっております。また、素敵な家もたくさんあり、それらを見て回るだけでもとても楽しいです。チラシを見てくださった方が、１人でも教室を訪ねてくれたらなぁと思いながら、我々の当分の日課として続けていこうと思っています。&lt;br /&gt;さて、話は変わるのですが、我々は小桜インコという種類のインコを飼っています。背中が葉っぱのような緑色をしているので、名前はLeafと名づけました。我が家に来て３年半くらいたつのですが、溺愛して育てたため全くしつけがなっていません。キーボードは引っこ抜くは、たんすはかじるは、紙類や本はぼろぼろに裂くはで、放している時は目が離せません。また、すごい甘えん坊で、人にべったりです。洋服の中にはいってきたり、ふとんの中にまで入ってきたりします。かわいいのですが、プープ（うんち）をどこでもしていくので困り者です。しかし、とーってもcuteなので、ペットショップに行かれたさいにはぜひ小桜インコ（英語名：Love Bird） チェックしてみてください！ぜひLove Bird仲間になりましょう！今度Leafの写真をupします。&lt;br /&gt;それでは皆様、Have a good weekend!&lt;br /&gt;Natsuyo Emery&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3992600067563953367-3876745188759263141?l=forestenglish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://forestenglish.blogspot.com/feeds/3876745188759263141/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3992600067563953367&amp;postID=3876745188759263141' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3992600067563953367/posts/default/3876745188759263141'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3992600067563953367/posts/default/3876745188759263141'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forestenglish.blogspot.com/2008/10/love-bird.html' title='Love Bird'/><author><name>Forest English</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01068519612516731756</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/SM0MKyXTxRI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jA_VJEx2uc8/S220/picturesmall1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992600067563953367.post-260752966248920031</id><published>2008-10-01T05:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-01T05:48:36.468-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='new month'/><title type='text'>Here Comes October!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;This month is going to be a great time at our school. We are so happy to be able to teach many new students this month and I am looking forward to seeing all the new faces. Teaching English, or any subject really, is a challenge! Helping students learn is difficult sometimes, but I enjoy it so much when they learn and use something new. Teaching is a great way to learn and I have learned a lot from my students over the past eight years of teaching. Looks like I should go-I have classes to teach!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3992600067563953367-260752966248920031?l=forestenglish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://forestenglish.blogspot.com/feeds/260752966248920031/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3992600067563953367&amp;postID=260752966248920031' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3992600067563953367/posts/default/260752966248920031'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3992600067563953367/posts/default/260752966248920031'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forestenglish.blogspot.com/2008/10/here-comes-october.html' title='Here Comes October!'/><author><name>Forest English</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01068519612516731756</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/SM0MKyXTxRI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jA_VJEx2uc8/S220/picturesmall1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992600067563953367.post-3543741133647860812</id><published>2008-09-24T04:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-24T05:00:37.614-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Takayama in Autumn</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/SNopPcbyldI/AAAAAAAAABQ/OYKZmWxM2Sk/s1600-h/nathannatsuyopink.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249553660961265106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/SNopPcbyldI/AAAAAAAAABQ/OYKZmWxM2Sk/s320/nathannatsuyopink.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Monday, the 22&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;nd&lt;/span&gt;, my wife and I hit the road to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Gifu&lt;/span&gt;. Or destination was &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Takayama&lt;/span&gt;, a city rich in history and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;dango&lt;/span&gt; fried &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;mochi&lt;/span&gt; balls. We had a good time just walking around looking for temples we could see all around. The streets near the mountains were basically quiet and it was funny because we only saw foreigners going to those more distant temples, all the the regular tourists stuck to the main streets looking at the shops. There were a lot of people in the old part of town as this was a holiday for many people. Bus tours followed women with flags and I heard a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;jinriksha&lt;/span&gt; pull man explaining all of the different shops to a couple of Asians tourists in English. We wanted to get off the streets and ended up in a very cool place, Bagpipe Cafe, founded in 1981. The atmosphere was nice and so was the coffee. We never got a chance to try &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Takayama&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;ramen&lt;/span&gt;, instead settling for &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;soba&lt;/span&gt; and tempura in a local shop. Overall it was a nice change of pace. The town reminded me a lot of both &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Gujo&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Hatchiman&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Nagahama&lt;/span&gt; with its dark wood buildings lining the streets, containing the same mixture of fancy shops and antique sellers.&lt;br /&gt;As my wife mentioned in the last blog, we rode up the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Tedori&lt;/span&gt; Canyon Road cycling path on the 23rd, a fun time and always good to get out and see the countryside.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3992600067563953367-3543741133647860812?l=forestenglish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://forestenglish.blogspot.com/feeds/3543741133647860812/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3992600067563953367&amp;postID=3543741133647860812' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3992600067563953367/posts/default/3543741133647860812'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3992600067563953367/posts/default/3543741133647860812'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forestenglish.blogspot.com/2008/09/takayama-in-autumn.html' title='Takayama in Autumn'/><author><name>Forest English</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01068519612516731756</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/SM0MKyXTxRI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jA_VJEx2uc8/S220/picturesmall1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/SNopPcbyldI/AAAAAAAAABQ/OYKZmWxM2Sk/s72-c/nathannatsuyopink.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992600067563953367.post-2488833559029286825</id><published>2008-09-23T04:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-23T05:28:57.735-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Cycling Day</title><content type='html'>今日は白山市のTedori　Canyon Cycling Road に沿ってサイクリングしました。&lt;br /&gt;エモリ夏代です。&lt;br /&gt;このサイクリングコースは鶴来から旧尾口村まで手取川に沿って伸びているのですが、旧鉄道跡を利用しているので、勾配がそれほどきつくなくとても快適なコースになっています。今日は、サイクリングフェスタという催しものもやっていて多くのサイクリストでにぎわっていました。&lt;br /&gt;私たちの友人が木滑という旧吉野谷村に住んでいるので、今日は（も？）サイクリングの途中おじゃましてきました。ロビー＆秋子　ロバートソンさん夫妻は、旦那様がカナダ人の宣教師で、奥様が沖縄出身の日本人です。つい先月軽井沢から引っ越してきたばかりなのです。２週間前もサイクリング途中でおじゃましたのですが、今日もまた行ってしまいました。いつも笑顔で迎えてくださり、とても居心地がよいので、迷惑かなぁ～と思いながらも「Hello　こんにちはぁ」と行ってしまいます。&lt;br /&gt;その帰りに、次は河内村にお住まいの、ジョン＆満枝　マハーさん夫妻の家を訪れました。ジョン先生はアメリカ人の宣教師、満枝先生は日本人の宣教師というご夫婦で、お二人にはNathanが日本に来て以来ずーっとお世話になっています。ジョン先生は先日アメリカから1年半ぶりに帰国して、まだJet　Lag（時差ぼけ）中でした。つらい時におじゃましてすいませんでした！ここでもやはり居心地がよく長居をしてしまい、結局帰りは雨に打たれながら野々市まで帰りました。でも、充実した一日でした。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3992600067563953367-2488833559029286825?l=forestenglish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://forestenglish.blogspot.com/feeds/2488833559029286825/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3992600067563953367&amp;postID=2488833559029286825' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3992600067563953367/posts/default/2488833559029286825'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3992600067563953367/posts/default/2488833559029286825'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forestenglish.blogspot.com/2008/09/cycling-day.html' title='The Cycling Day'/><author><name>Forest English</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01068519612516731756</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Y52pbQplwQc/SM0MKyXTxRI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jA_VJEx2uc8/S220/picturesmall1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992600067563953367.post-7576561843216001533</id><published>2008-09-21T01:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-23T04:31:00.123-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy, Oh so happy!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Hello there everyone,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;It has been a good few weeks of demo lessons and meeting new people.
