Milonga

Milonga is a place where people dance Tango. I've been doing Yoga and Belly dancing so far and never had the idea of trying social dancing.
Why? I don't know but those two are more spiritual stuff to me.
I do Yoga & belly dance to maintain a balance of mind and body so that I can maximize possibilities. I become more peaceful and tolerant by doing them and it can bring back all good results to me.



I went to this Milonga, it was because I was just curious what other people were doing on Friday nights.
I was drinking a glass of wine and watching people dancing Tango.

To make me surprised, there were about 30 people (They said it was small attendance compare to usual Friday nights as it seemed people attended their company events.) and the ratio of men and women is half and half.
I thought it could be more female world.
My friend says that when it comes to dancing woman has more choices than man such as belly dancing, and it is more popular than social dancing. But man doesn't have much choices.

I see.

ミロンガとは人が集まってタンゴを踊るサロンの事だそうです。私も行った事なくて会社の同僚が出入りしているのにまぎれて初挑戦。と言うよりダンスを踊るのが目的ではなく、ただ他の人達がどんな金曜日の夜を過ごしているのが興味があったのです。

ヨガとベリーダンスをしばらくしているのですが、社交ダンスを習う気と言うのは0でした。
何故なら、よく分からないけれど、その二つは私にとって精神的な存在で、体と心のバランスを保つためにやっているからです。
私の可能性を最大限にするために、精神を平和に保ち、寛容になれるよう、そうする事により、自分に良い結果をもたらす事ができるから。

私はそのサロンでワインを飲みながら人々がタンゴを踊る様子を観察してました。
30人くらい人がいたのですが(世間一般は歓送迎会でいつもより参加者が少ないとの事でした。)

驚いたことに、
男女比は半々でした。
私はもっと女性が多いのかと思っていたけれど。

同僚が言うには女性はダンスと言ったら、いろんな選択肢があるけれど、男性にはあまりないから、とのこと。

なるほど。

Hiking @ Mt. Fuji

Pictures of Mt. Fuji where one of spiritual places in Japan. You can drive to halfway up the mountain. It's about two hours hiking course from there. Many people like to try climbing up Mt. Fuji. It's a popular way that people spend a night at a co ttage and start around 2am to see sun rise at the top, however I have never tried it. R einforcement work is under way as mountain slope is sliding down. I didn't make any effort, instead I just felt autumn there. It was a clear day after rainy days that took off orange osmanthus petals. Fujisan with rainbow Rain cleanses us and brings next season.

Oh Japanese..

I've been reading Hard boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami lately. His expressions are soooo good that I can't help making a note while I'm reading. His descriptions are amazing. I read the book on the commuting train and if there's any line that I am impressed, I take out my mobile and text it to my PC e-mail. Thus, I'm busy on the train, especially my commuting hour has been shorted since I moved. I miss long time train trip a bit. My neighbourhood photos. -Japanese- 今村上春樹の『世界の終わりとハードボイルドワンダーランド』を読んでいます。 彼の表現力は素晴らしくてついついメモをとってしまいます。 彼の本は評価が好きな人は大好き、良さが分からない、と分かれますが 私は彼の表現に感動する事が多いです。 通勤電車の中で読んでいて、素敵だ、と思うラインがあると 携帯を取り出し自分のパソコンにメールをしてしまいます。 なので電車でとっても忙しい・・。 引っ越して通勤時間が短くなってしまったので 以前のような長い通勤時間も懐かしい気がします。

Aomori

The northernmost part of Honshu(Main Land). It's about 700km away from Tokyo. Where The lantern festival take place. Where Tsugaru Shamisen originated. 8 hours driving. Easy driving. Food! Pink flowers and shrine. Pink pink pink. Season goes a little later than Tokyo. Plants took over the house. How pretty you are. This mountain called Osorezan , which is one of spiritual places in Japan.
