Burning calories

Today was the first day of the Golden week. I went to a gym in Kabuki-cho with my friend. We spent 6 housrs there for 3 studio probrams, machine exercises, swiming, having a bath and sauna. I'm sure we burnt off a lot of calories but we also took more calories afterwards at a Yaki-niku (Korean-style barbecue) restaurant...
The gym was big and well-equipped one in Kabuki-cho.
It was strange feeling to come out to unhealthy city after doing something healthy. Doing exercise in a building is not really healthy though.
I never feel confortable walking Kabuki-cho but I found that it's really strange place you hardly ever found any other place in the world. A man is selling fresh seafood in front of the restaurant and next to it, there is a entrance to a dirty place. There is a hospital next to a "Love Hotel"...

An Unexpected Result

When I came back from work I found the result of Japanese Language Teachers' Exam. I passed it with a grade B which is 70-79% correct. Indeed I felt that I could answer most of the questions without any wonder but I thought it was because the questions had a catch in them and I was just simply tricked. I didn't study especially for the exam and I had not learnt all the subjects so I thought taking exam would be just waste of money. But now I'm very happy to make a right decision. I can have a good holidays having this good news. However the problem is how much effective the certificate is when I look for a job as a Japanese teacher.

Hanami

I had a quite good day today. Went to Roppongi Virgin cinema to see "Crash" and it was a good film. Went to Akasaka to see cherry blossoms and found a place where we saw free magic show. Went to a ramen shop and it was delicious. Went to Kudanshita to wee more cherry blossoms and had a long walk around the moat. Then I still had a energy to study for the test tomorrow after I got back home and did it until now. It's 4 in the morning... and I'll be taking the test in 6hours...
