Recent Updates

I quit RareJob lessons at the end of August, 2016. It was my 3rd anniversary of taking lessons. I thought it was enough because I am getting older and I don't expect any job opportunity with English related. We don't have any foreign neigbors in the countryside.

I have already uploaded many pictures up to now. I feel it takes me quite a lot of time to upload another pictures, so I started writing another diary.

For the time of the maintenance, we built a tower next to the castle. 
 
The green-colored place is where you can visit to see for seeing the maintenance work.
 
It has an elevator, so everyone can tour visit the place easily (or conveniently).
 
The maintenance is scheduled to be ended in next year, 2014.
 
The temporary building will be torn apart once the maintenance/renovation is completed.
