Day 46-77 Busy, BUsy, BUSy, BUSY!!!

Oh, wow! I can't believe a whole month has passed!!!
I have been SUPER busy...Finally I have time to sit and update my blog)))
Want to know what I have been doing?

Well, the whole October was dedicated to COP10. I was working at the Press Conference Room, assisting the NHK Int'l cameraman and staff if they needed some interpretation. Most of my time was to listen to the press conference. If I hadn't had the opportunity to be there, I would not have thought about biodiversity at all. It was also a good chance for me to listen to the simultaneous interpreters. It is a special technique they have! I tried to do it during the press conference, but gave up((( I admire them! Maybe I should brush up my interpretation skills. I would really like to become a super interpreter one day and impress the whole world! First I must speak beautiful Japanese though))) Never too late to learn and to try! I will keep on evolving!!!!

 One thing I thought I was really lucky was that I met Harisson Ford. It was freezing but as you can see from this photo, he didn't even show on his face. He was doing his work! And after the interview with CNN etc., I got a chance to shake hands with him and be in the same group photo! His hands were so big and warm. I would never forget this! I grew up with Star Wars and Indianna Jones so I still can't believe I shook hands with him!!!






After the COP10 work, I have been keeping myself busy in other English speaking work, meeting friends, and taking dance classes. As a dedicated Japanese housewife, she must be perfect in the housework, but unfortunately for me, there are so many things I want to do in my life. I'm a mother and a wife, but ALSO I am a woman! I want to dress up nicely, stay fit, and take care of myself! That's why I have so many activities to do in my everyday life, along with my housework and raising a daughter. I don't have to make myself THIS busy, but I want to enjoy this life I'm having. I don't want to regret and miss anything out)))
Am I being a bit greedy?)))

Oh, I must tell you about Asahi-chan! She's improving her Japanese! She can text me from her mobile phone in Japanese!!! Although I tend to speak English to her, I'm talking in Japanese too, at the same time, so I have become more talkative))) But I thank God for bringing her into our family because she gives us so much joy. And now she has made me want to teach Japanese to non-Japanese speakers now)))
I didn't think being a host family was THIS fun! Thanks to her, our everyday life is fulfilling! We will go on lots of short trips, go explore Nagoya more!!!!

My next blog is about my SUPER DJ friend!
I am trying to spread him in Japan! That's also one of my major activities!!!
