I read books!

Just because there aren't many books in my office doesn't mean I don't read books. I borrow books from libraries. I don't have money to buy books or space to keep them. Most of the books are not read again and I don't find it necessary to keep such things in my office.

I read "Chichi no bunsho kyoshitsu" by Manetsu Hanamura yesterday and finished "Bunmei no yuutsu" by Keiichiro Hirano a few days ago.

Hanamura is very unique in his academic background and school life. The book gave me a glimpse of his youth. Intricate emotion and relationship between the father and the child are well depicted.

Hirano's book demonstrates his deep knowledge in European culture and history. However, I was not very much impressed by or interested in the essays in this book.

I will keep a record of my readings for the time being in this blog.

New Tea!

This is a new tea. It's Italian. I bought it in Tokyo, probably at Takashimaya, Shinjuku.

I like its scent and taste. It's sweet in scent and mild in taste. I also like the tea caddy. The color is dark green which I think is very European.

Blog Started

I'm starting a new blog!

This blog is used for EFL classes. I hope students will submit many articles and enjoy publishing their ideas and thoughts.

I love earl grey tea. Some of the finished tea caddies are on the shelf of my office.
