Traveling The World

A friend of mine is now visiting Japan from Germany.

Another friend of mine in the US is going to visit the UK from today for a week.

Oh, I am really, really glad for them that they could have a chance to visit where they have wanted to visit, but, well, in my heart, there is a bit of jealous…. No, I am very jealous at them!

There are almost 3 years since I made a trip to a foreign country (it was NYC), so I can’t stop to dream to travel again to a foreign country alone….. Alone!

By traveling foreign country alone, I felt that I found myself. It was sometimes I already knew, but sometimes I didn’t know til then. I think it was because of that I was free from the responsibilities of my real life and I had to handle everything by myself just as myself.

I noticed that I could handle some things better than I expected. I also noticed that I didn’t feel lonely but rather enjoying being alone.

Ah…. Those wonderful days….

Well, it is not easy to travel to a foreign county, it needs enough holidays and money, but I will try to make it true in near future.

I will.

For those people who is traveling foreign countries, especially alone, including my friends, Enjoy! Enjoy every moments you are having and experiencing now and then! Find yourself more deeply than ever. All experiences will give you new strength, new knowledge, new wisdom which you wouldn’t get without doing this.

Enjoy!

Banzuke for the Grand Sumo Taunament in September

Well, as my blog has gotten so many visitors who seeks information about Sumo, I thought I’d better post the newest Banzuke.

In Sumo, East is higher rank than West.

Yokozuna at East is Hakuho, obviously, and Yokozuna at West is Asashoryu.

My favorite Sumo wrestler, Kotooshu is the top Ozeki at East. So, there are 5 Ozeki in Makuuchi, and in this case, the highest ranking of Ozeki is the top of East, the 2nd is the top of West, the 3rd is the 2nd of East, the 4th is the second of West, and the last is the 3rd of East.

Well, I am going to leave a link to Nihon Sumo Kyokai (the association of Grand Sumo?) for people who wants to know the rest of ranking.

I hope this link works well for you. Good luck, and enjoy!
