Kodo at Southbank centre, London

I went to see a performance by “Kodo” (A group of Japanese traditional drum players). To be honest, I hadn’t seen any proper Japanese drum performance before, and I just went there because it was 50% off for students! But it was amazing. Just amazing. I thought it would be good when I saw the promotion video on their website, but you can never experience the sounds of “big drum” unless you go to see them. It echoes inside your body, rather than on the surface. It was like thunder. Another thing I liked about them was that they were […]

Places I haven’t been before

Although it’s been for a while since I came to London, there are still lots of places I haven’t visited. They are two of them. Primark 😛 and St. Paul’s Cathedral. My image of Primark is cheaper Uniqlo. But they have more different designs than simple Uniqlo, so it’s fun to look around. But I had never bought anything because it always looked so crowded! But I’m going to Spain this week and wanted to buy some small things, so joined the friends going shopping there. Wow…everything was so nice price. To be honest, I don’t know about its quality…but […]

Unlucky, but lucky day

Today was a bit strange day. Unlucky, and lucky. In the morning, I woke up and opened the online course schedule… and found that introduction to the new project was moved to today’s afternoon, that had been empty. Nooooo. I was going to leave at lunch time and join with my friends for Chinese lunch….unlucky But I’m gonna leave at lunch anyway… deciding that, I went to talk to the tutor. And he told me that “One problem happened and I’m not sure we can have the brief today. So introduction first, and not sure about later.” Yes! Lucky! After […]

Chinese new year, Snow.

I went to see Chinese New Year event with my friends on Sunday. Wow…lots of people…one bad thing being in the UK is that I can’t see anything once I go into a crowd…everyone is much taller than me. I couldn’t see the dragons, so I bought a small dragon instead…Cute…I can be patient with this. It was a bit strange weather, it was snowing while I could see the sun. And today I found it when I woke up! Wow…trains and buses have stopped…I can’t go to uni… I heard there was little snow in London though. It’s so […]

Tokyo Day

As I heard there will be an event about Japan, I went to have a quick look after shopping. “Origami”, “calligraphy”, “Koma” and “Robots”, there were lots of “let’s try” booth, and there were lots of people as well. At “Tea Ceremony” corner, I saw some British people showing slightly curious looks, and shitting in Japanese style (=seiza). They looked so cute. This event was organised by Tokyo, but I wondered if they always call volunteers. If so, I want to help them next time! By the way, Shishimai was performing at the stage. A woman was playing the flute […]

Input > Output = Enrichment – Satisfaction

It’s been about 2 weeks since a new project started, and as I started a new course as well, my brain capacity is over flowing. But the project is really fun, and I feel enrichment, but I can’t feel satisfaction yet. Also my physical condition is not good, so mentally I’m feeling down…sigh. I’m still so weak. In my case, once I start worrying, not only that I can’t do my job really well, but also I can’t sleep no matter how tired I am. I should be a bit careful… So, I should try another day. And it’s weekend. […]
