Himeji Garden

2006-10-11T18:13:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I went to Himeji Garden. It contains features which are of profund religious significance to the japanese people. Himeji means Japanese city name, and Hemeji city became Sister Cities with Adelaide on 19th April 1982. Hemeji Garden located in near cross way of South Tce and Glen Osmond Rd.

Before go to Himeji Garden, I didn't expect it too much. I arrived there at late afternoon, and I found one small pond, various japanese flowers, a beautiful willow tree, the bamboo fence, and small tea house. The most delightless thing was sit in the tea house, because I had a relaxation with the sound of throw the water and birds singing. Acctually, the garden was little bit small and not amazing, such as my expectation. However, Himeji Garden is quite good place for your relaxation, if you don't expect there too much.

Now, here is more photos in Himeji Garden.

Worst weekend.

2006-10-08T19:56:00.000-07:00

Acctually, last weekend is the most terrible weekend in Adelaide.

Firstly, I had a cold, so I couldn't go anywhere. Next, somebody stole my bicycle! Oh my god! I really sad about that. Moreover, I got a post from police station that penalty of over speed. I drove just 61km but, there was 50km limit area. I have to pay 179$ T.T

It was a nightmare.

Oh my foods!

2006-10-04T19:34:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I had party in my house with Andy, Kyoko, Crystal, Masato, and Crystal's friends. It was quite good party, and I really enoyed with them. I prepared spicy boiled chicken, Korean style BBQ, Korean traditional noodle, and Kimchijun. Kyoko brought white wine and other friends brought fruits & water.

Before start our dinner, men were go to the Brighton beach for sunset, and women were play piano in my house. Of course I was busy for cooking food. Then we started eat dinner, but it was little bit terrible to me. Chicken was not salty, BBQ was too salty, nuddle was over well done, and Kimchijun was watery. Oh my god. However, my good friends have enjoyed my dinner very much, so I was very greateful to my friends.

After dinner we watched movie which named 'ELF.' It was funny story about elf and christmas in New York City. It was really interesting movie, and I missed white christmas in New York.

Thanks friends for coming to my party!!

Party time

2006-10-03T16:13:00.000-07:00

Today, I'm going to open the party in my home.
I hope that it will be a good time to my friends, also me.

It's party time~

Morialta Park

2006-10-02T15:59:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I went to Morialta Conservation Park with Kiwi and Andy. We went there for our Wikis, also our activity.

We met in front of our school, and went to the bus stop. The 104 bus had to coming 1:16, but it was late around 7 minutes. It was my first time that public bus coming late, so I felt little bit interesting.

Bus runs around 40 minutes and arrived Morialta Park. I knew Aphy our school receptionist, and there was close to Aphy's house. Many big trees were in entrance of park. Marialta Park was famous for water fall, and it has 3 water falls. If you want to watching all of them, you should walk around 4 hours. It was quite long time, so we decided go until second water fall.

Before wnet to Marialta, I didn't have big expectation, because Adelaide Hills are not high mountain, and nowadays Adelaide didn't have many raniy days. However, I was very surprise, when I saw first water fall. It was quite hugh and beautiful.

Change the topic to my friends. I went there with Kiwi and Andy, and They were very funny. Kiwi has a superb smiling, and she looks positive person. If she marry, she will be lovely bride. Andy like take a photo, and he looks carefulness person. I think he has good personality. I had a really good time with good friends. Thank you Kiwi and Andy.

Anyway, holidays gone, and now I have to study again!

Japanese curry

2006-10-02T02:49:00.000-07:00

Today morning, I made a Japanese curry. Of course I bought it in the Little Tokyo with Kyoko. This sauce was second one of three sauce which I bought.

It was absolutely similar to Korean curry, but little bit soft. It was hot spicy type, but I think it is soft for korean people. Anyway, it was delicious, so I had a good breakfast.

I went to Molialta today, and Andy, Kiwi, and Me had lots of exercise. It's quite good and fun, but I'm very tyred now. I'll write tomorrow about Molialta & water fall.

Japanese Udong

2006-09-28T23:01:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, Kyoko introduced me one Japanese food shop, because before yesterday, I asked her how can I bought Japanese souce. Thanks Kyoko! I bought japanese Udong sauce, Yakisoba sauce, and Japanese curry.

We met on front of China town at 11 am, then go to two China markets. I think China people are really well known about how can do they earn money. If we go to Korean or Jananese mart, we can just buy our country food, but if we go to Chinese mart, we can buy every Asian countries food.

Anyway, I made Japanese Udong for yesterday dinner. It was quiet easy, because I just boiled water, and put the Udong sauce, finally put the nuddle. It's all, nothing else need for cook, but some people may wonder about how to make Udong. Now I write recipe of Japanese Udong.

K1 winery

2006-09-27T17:27:00.000-07:00

The most beautiful winery in Adelaide Hills.

Peter Lemenn Winery

2006-09-26T20:35:00.000-07:00

In last sunday, I visited one winery which named Peter Lehmenn Winery. My teacher Bobyn recommanded to me.

Peter Lehmenn Winery was locate in Barossa Valley. You can find their sing board, when you drive B19 Barossa Valley Road. It was quiet big winery, also their cellar door was big.
I found many paintings, when I was enter the entrance. Maybe the winery owner or one of owner's family has a talent of painting. I would have asked to them, but I wouldn't have did it, because after that, I was immediately attention to wine tasting.

I found two interesting wines. One was dessert wine which named Botrytis Semillon 2005, other one was red wine which named Mentor 1997. The Botrytis Semillon 2005's price was just 16$, but it had great quality. It had nuts and honey aroma, and it had the balance of taste. The Mentor 1997 is more interesting, it was blending wine that four kind of grape which Cabernet Sauvignon, Carbernet Franc, Merlot, and other one. (I couldn't remember final one.) It had superb quality, but their price was only 60$. 60$ wine is little bit expencive in Australia, but their quality was enough value for money.

Anyway, Peter Lehmenn Winery was quite good winery, because they have superb quality wines and you can have appreciation of paintings. If you have a plan for visiting Barossa Valley, I recommand you Peter Lehmenn Winery.

Whispering Wall

2006-09-26T20:26:00.000-07:00

In last sunday, after visited Peter Lehmenn Winery, I went to Whispering Wall, because I like just their name. It little bit funny reason, but sometimes if should I choose something, I usually choose for name only.

Whispering Wall was kind of dam, and it made in over 100 years ago. It looks an easy curve and very hig. Whispering Wall made a big lake, and it was very beautiful. I didn't know about the secret of the name of Whisering Wall. I was very surprised at the secret of the name, when I realized how mysterious it was.

The secret of the Whispering Wall was whispering. It means if one person whisper to the end side of the wall, the other person who stand on the other end side of the wall can hear that whispering. It was realy fantastic! Tell the truth, firstly I heard whispering sound in that wall, I tried to find mic and speaker, because I couldn't believe it. You don't need shout, just whisper that's enough.

In summary if you'd like visit Barossa Valley, I strongly recommand this place.
