The final day

These are the last days in my life in Australia. Every my fiends cheered me and gave me some gifts. I really appreciate that, and also at the same time, I felt I should have give them something as my gratitude.

Many thanks for having me in your house in this one year. My great life in Australia was started and finished with you. I don't forget this grateful till I forget. lol.

Thanks my colleagues and co-researchers and friends, you all are so wonderful and helped me very much. Hope all the best of you and will keep in touch to wel-doing each other for further process. Just one thing I feel pity in this picture is my face turned red...

And this is my good friend took the upper picture. He is so nice guy. Thanks coming up there in my last day. I was so happy. Your next job may be in Japan.

Day 11 month + 16

This is the picture why I went to Hobart. That's it. Think, I am one of the treasure Japanese who has appreciated the show "twice" after the farewell tour in Japan. The show was awesome without doubt every time.

Another awesome scene in Hobart was that I catch the dolphins. Hobart was too chilly, the wind blew so strongly, the boat bumped so much, we had a bit of rain, nevertheless, so nice place in Australia.

AIS aquatic center.

I'll probably be back in two years. Just I previewed the venue. See you later. :)

Day 10 month + 29

Suddenly, I joined ocean swim challenge at Caloundra called "Kings of the coast".

I swam 3.8km ocean swim race, which the original course has been changed to alternative course at Kings beach due to a bad condition. Nevertheless, the sea was still swelling bigger.
Anyway, this was my first time to join ocean swim race. And surprisingly, I didn't train at all. But I found out this race on last Friday, so there was no choice. Obviously, I realised as soon as I jumped in the sea that I should have trained for this race and I was already a sedentary human. Fortunately, I could finish the race but I was completely tired.
It was an excellent opportunity to experience what the ocean swim is all about. It was far away from the ocean swim in the university or school teaching conducted in Japan. Whatever, I'm still ruing that if I could find the event much earlier. I'd train, and it'd be much exciting.
You can see the results of this event in this web page. Be sure that my name is partly mistaken...

Day 10 month + 25

The nice day "Anzac Day" today.
There was nothing fun, but it was good opportunity to think about the way of commemorate our history, there are still many problems though.

By the way, yesterday was the best wave ever, and it was also exciting in the initial several times today.
The time will be closed up...

Day 10 month + 1

Australian Swimming Championship in Australia. There was something new for me. It was very interesting. I have to learn many things from this country, more and more.

In Japan, we have an Olympic Trial in this week. I seriously cheer up every athletes and specially my some friends.

I have 2 month remaining. And a lot of things to do that I want, but those are limited by time and occasion. How far can I reach?
