Such a beautiful color....

At that spot, I met lots of colorful fish such as blue ones, rainbow color fish, etc...
I felt like I visited fish's world.

Haven't get pics from that, then, I will upload after I get it!

Such a beautiful island. Feeling like staying here more, I left here.
Hope I can have chance to come back again!

one more day in Miyako

One more day.
I will leave Miyako Island(Okinawa) tmrw and back to Kobe.

It was really quick 10 days...
Kite surfing, eating, drinking...lots and lots..
Anyway, I had healthy & unhealthy life..

I had so much exercise, but I gained weights too..
Of course, it is sure I will cuz I ate lots and drunk.

Then, after back to reality, I will go to diet and body making life.

This Island is called that idealistic place to have slow life.
So relaxing and always spending time with own pace.

Today, we didn't get enough wind, then bit of sight seeing.
Went to Kurima island which is connected with Miyako Is.

It was such a relaxing start of 2009.
In a good way, I will spend 2009 with own pace.

For 2009, I will try to have opportunities to teach Pialtes as an instructor.

In end of Jan(19-30), I will go to Philippines, Boracay for kite trip and body making.
In Feb & Mar, I got job as a English teacher for grade 6 students.
During these, hope to research and discuss for instructor opportunities.

Anyway, everyone, have a great 2009!

"Tako Tako Tako (It means KITE )

Anyway, 2008 will finish soon.

Also as a tourism job, I worked for Hayato as a coordinator.
It was the good position to have tourism job for me.

2008 was the year I looked around various world.
Starting from Vietnam, staying Canada, Dominican republic, Japan.

For 2009, I want to look around more world and start new career!
