salmon roe

Today, Jeff came back home with salmon roe!!

I'm soooo happy, I know I'm japanese, ofcaouse I'm happy. This is a bit crazy for other people, you don't understand, how much we love those stuff.

Even for us, we can't eat like this, we need to clean them cos too oily.
See that white bit, there is oil every single roe.

Then what I did is like this! I put soy-sause, mirin, dashi. Then I have to wait till tomorrow or day after tomorrow.

ohhhhhh I can't wait!!

salmons and prawns were arrived.

My house mate Jeff who owns a fish and chips is a fisher man.

This is funny, I never met fisher man before even in Japan.

But here in Tofino, I'm living in his house.

He has been to Alaska for salmon and prawn and shrimp fishing.

He is still there, but he needed some space in his fishing boat for catching some fish.

So he send over his fish to here.

This is that box he send here, how huge it is!!

And so many salmon!!!! Those guys are pink salmon.

Also as you can see next to salmon, they are prawns.

They are headless, and super icy.

Good stuff!!

zuccini and beans

This is a beautiful ziccini!! I picked it up this morning.

This is pretty big, much more bigger than teaspoon.

Those guys are beans, I ate straight away after picked.

Taste so sweet and yummy!

Also, I got broccolis today.
Maybe denner for tonight is green vegges and garlic butter!!

virgin fall

Lara, Stacy, Sylvie, and me went to 'virgin fall' in Tofino yesterday after work. We took 1.5 hours drive from town to get there, just drive logging bumpy road heading to top.

It was beautifull, I wish we could camp there.

On the way to go top, we stoped every single view spots and took so many pictuers, and ate berrys a lot. We saw bear 'poo' but unfortunally, we couldn't see any bears.

It was really funny trip, in the begining, I lost my chocolate ber, I mean someone stole it! I think it was animal or bird, but it was king size and i just had one bite! dammit!!

I hit my head a couple time, we got bitten, and the end, we got flat tire!! oh no Lara's new car!

But we made it. Thanks for the awesome trip and driving Lara!!

DJ chicken... one day...

This is veggie garden and hens which i'm looking after them at the moment.

Veggie's are soy beans, zuccini, poteto, broccoli, lettuce, onion, beans, pampkin, and strawberrys.
I'm basically watering and weeding.
It's really nice to have veggies, they grew so quick.
And most of them are summer veggie so now nearly harvest.

I picked up some broccolis and beans today, and ate them. Taset like sweet!!
I love it.




And chickens are so funny, they lay eggs everyday about 3. So we never buy eggs.

They make so much noise, sounds like funny DJ.

One day, I want to have those guys!

Running shoes

This is my new running shoes and my legs.

I bought this a couple days ago finally. I really wanted running shoes long time, but hard to find nice one.

So, I've started to run for about 40 mins by the beach. it is really good!

I torn my knee, left side, ACL a couple month ago by snowboarding. It was painfull! I cried, ofcouse.

Anyway, after that happend, I needed physio, and exercise. I went to gym for riding bike (it was winter so i couldn't ride bike cos of snow!).

So now, I should start running!! I decided to do either running or surfing everyday.

But today... I was lazy... I didn't do neither... Oh no I feel o bad, I'm so lazy... I'll do that tomorrow!! We call like that person '三日坊主　mikka-bo-zu'. Yes it is me!! haha

Lone Cone Trail

The other day, we went to 'Lone Cone' for trekking.

It was hard, and so steep!

We have to get a boat first to go there about 10 mins from town, becouse this is a island.

Tofino where we are living, is beautiful place. so much nature here, rain forest, long beaches, tiny islands everywhere, many many animals (bear, raccoon, seal, sea lion, sea otter, and more!!).

But I've never seen bear yet unfortunally... I'm looking for it all the time, but they never show up. So if I won't be able to see them in this month, I'll do that tour names 'bear watching' so sad... here is canada, I should've seen them.

Well back to the trail.

This trail takes you to get the top about 2 and half hours.

Then this is view from top!! Beautiful isn't it?

Tofino is just in the middle in this photo, surf beach where we go is behind Tofino, maybe you can see a tiny white beach, there is.

Tofino has so many activities, like surfing, kayaking, walking, whale watching, bear watching, hot spring, fishing...

So if you'll be able to come soon, please let me know...

Oh, that sea as you can see in this photo, is 'Pacific Ocean'. So if you can swim to the other side, will be Japan!! haha

How cool is that!?

Today is my day off. woohoo!!

I went to surfin this morning, it was a bit small but that means perfect to me. Then, i could catch the waves but i couldn't stand up! just cos i forgot to put wax on, soooo slippy... Dammit!!

So, when I came home, I put wax on, then, hmmm i might do stecker on! so i put SK8RIDER's (sorry i can't explain about this, just we make fun snowboarding team long time ago, this is that name) steckers, 3 of them! I like it and I like this team, I haven't seen them in ages but I'm pretty sure those guys are doing awesome stuff all the time.

when I was surfin, I saw a boy or girl?? has a silver colour hair, sitting on the long board and waiting for the waves. I thought a freaky emo boy, haha. but actually she (it's a woman!) is a grandma!! Also near her, another man who wearing a hat, has white face (too much sun screan!) so you guess what? Her husband!! Oh my god, grannys are surfing! These guys are really good as well! I know some old man surf forever, but I had never seen grandma and grandpa surfin together, that was f*ckin awwwwesome!!

How cool is that!?

finally i started this kinda shit...

Hi guys!!

I always wondered i wanted to open this, but took me ages to do this, also still simple and... don't know... its not cool yet hey??

umm i try to do this cool and wicked stuff.

So, this time, i'm gonna use this ONLY English. To be honest, i'm still not good enough, so i will do wrong spelling, use stupid English..

But i'll write all about me and my travelling and snowboard/surfing, working, what i feel, music and all friends who i met and my boyfriend who i've been together since 2007.

That photo as u can see on top, there is London, i was having yorkshire pudding which is a classic english pub food. then, a guy next to me, he is Tim my boyfriend.

ok, enough for today to me. haha

i try to do this often.

bye
