Today, one female astronaut, Naoko Yamazaki, departed for the space, riding in a space shuttle "DISCOVERY". She is the second female astronaut in Japan. She also has a daughter. Her challenging to the space gives Japanese women hope to succeed as a working woman and as a mother.  I feel it difficult to continue both roles well in japanese society. She is gaining a lot of help from her husband and daughter. It may be common family in U.S. or Euro. However it seems japanese new style family to me. I really want to be like her.

I watched movie "NINE" yesterday.  This movie made my feeling enjoyable. So nice!  Many famous actresses appeared in this movie. All of them sang so well, and danced so sexy. Someone said it was boring. Nothing gave me boring emotion. Specially, I love Marion Cotillard  who played a wife of a lead. She looked so sexy and sensitive. In other hand, I seemed Sophia Loren to be more powerful and more shining than any other actresses. I looked at  their profiles, which are Marion and Sophia. I found they got Academy Awards in language except English.

Anyway, Fergie increased her weight heavy for this movie. I consider she became sexy but her body can be too much.

Hi, everyone. I just begin to write Diary in English on this blog site to improve my English skill. Please check grammar and expression on my blog. Then I actually need to friends who talk with me in English via Skype to learn together.

First of all, I introduce myself. My name is Chiaki. I am 28years old, female, Japanese, and interested in travel, movies, photos, arts, snowboarding, climbing mountain, fashion, reading and learning English and French. Now, my French skill is so low, but in the future, I will try to write Diary in also French. I think learning English is important to understand culture differences. One of my hobbies is traveling abroad by myself.  It is my pleasure to talk to local people, look at great view, find their own custom, and have local food in a foreign country.

If you are interested in learning English with me, send your message!
Thanks for your attention!
