BUSINESS PLAN IS OVER !

Hi, this is Daisuke Honjo!
I couldn't post my article because some reasons.
I'm sorry about that X(

Last Thursday, we had final presentation of business plan.
I was sooooo nervous that i made mistakes 2times.
Because of that, my part took a lot of time to be done.

However, after the final presentation, i felt free from business plan.
And, all of the group A played billiards!
It was so fun : )


Also, we moved to another dorm.
New one is very very good!
But, to be honest, I want to live in new one from the beginning!

tomorrow, we have to back to Japan ...
i wanna stay here!!


see you.

Shopping with host family!

Hello, It's Daisuke Kobayashi.

Today, we went to shopping with our host family. We bought a lot of clothes and souvenirs. We spent lots of money, but we bought the things that can't buy in Japan and much cheaper so, we are not regretting that.

Our host family also brought us to famous ice cream store. And we had a delicious drink with ice cream top on. It was great, but to be honest, that was so sweet that, I couldn't had all.

And we had a great dinner with his sun's wonderful family with a 1 years old baby. He was so cute and we took a picture and movies, so we would like you to see that!

Home Stay!!

Hi!!

It's Daisuke Kobayashi.

yesterday, we did float trip. It was so exciting but also it was so hard. The view that we could see on the boat was so beautiful. I could see the cliff and bird and sky at the same time. That was so amazing.

After the float trip, Me and Takashi went to our host family's house. They are so kind and very rich and wonderful family. Our rooms are so wonderful and we couldn't believe that we can use these rooms.

I think we are the most lucky students in our group.

Good evening. I am aiko.

The Arch!!

Hi, This is Daisuke Kobayashi!!

Today, We wake up 8 o'clock and went to see the Arch. We all were sleeply and quite tired so some  of us said we don't wanna go! But when we arrived the Arch, we were all moved by its heights and it was really beautifull. And we rode the small capsel and went to the top of the Arch. There are about 16 windows each side, and we could see the nearly whole city. It was so beautiful and excited. I'm really regret that I forgot to bring my camera with me. But, I won't forget the view! And We had a dinner at old spagetti restaurant. It was delicious. It was a good day, and It was really really  excited  than  just staying at home!

August 10th 2010

This is Daisuke Kobayshi. I will tell you what we did yesterday.Yesterday, we went to Six Flags where we did have fun with attractions and swimming pools.  It was a really hot day as usual.  We went to the amusement park rides first, and we rode about 6 coasters. They were so fast that we couldn't help but shout loud.  Six Flags wasn't a disaster, but we were all drained. Most of us went to the swimming pool but some of us didn't bring swimming clothes, so they didn't go swimming. We all had lots fun, but we all got sunburns. So, today some of the girls were crying about their skin hurting.

August 3 , 2010

Daisuke Kobayashi

It was a really hot day. I'm feeling that Japan was much cooler than here. Then I heard that yesterday and today were the hottest days, and from today it will get better. I hope so.

In class, we all did presentations that we prepared from we were in Japan. Our group presented first. We got nervous but our group really cared about time management. So I think we could give a good presentation.

After presentation, we had a lunch. We were so relaxing and eating slowly, and then we couldn't finish it in lunch time. I really think that lunch time isn't long enough, because it is including time to move and get ready for the next class.

Next class was business. The teacher's pronunciation was really hard and I couldn't understand all.

But I could understand that the project has started right now.
