Because I’m too lazy to write down journals on notebook,
I’ve decided to start blog instead.
I’ve already had one, but it’s in Japanese. Lol
Blog is very easy and quick. I can just type whatever I want to say.
To tell the truth, I prefer hand-writing to just text on webpage.
But again, I’m too lazy.
Today I played snooker in the Union with my trainee teacher, Emma.
I’ve played it once in Tokyo, but I was completely forgetting how to play.
So Emma and her friend tought me how to play and I tried.
It was quite difficult. I think I don’t have a talent for it. Lol
By the way, we call this game “Billiards” in Japan. Not “Snooker”.
Perhaps there are some differences between these two, but it seems same to me.
So first time when I heard “Snooker”, I didn’t really know what kind of sport it is.
That was a bit surprising when I realised that Snooker = Billiards.
Anyway today I’m so tired. I’ll have a nice dream tonight hopefully!zzz
Hi Chika,
Glad to see that you are blogging again. What happened to the blog that you started at Kanto?
By the way, snooker and billiards are different. Snooker is the game with many red balls, one yellow, one green, etc. Billards is the game with balls that are solid colured and striped. The balls in billiards have numbers on them.
I’m looking forward to your next blog post, and I hope you are still reading my blog.
All the best!

Hi Chika,
I saw on Facebook that you have a blog too.
I was playing snooker last night too, except we call it ‘pool’ in America. (Though we have the words snooker and billiards as well; I just don’t know the difference (if any).)
