15 years have passed since huge earthquake in Kobe. I don' want to say I was lucky, but I was lucky, because I was living in Tokyo in 1995. But after I moved to Kobe, I lived in some flats which were new built on the land where was totally destroyed. Of course I never have any experience to carry some dead body or injured people to where they had to be placed. People here don't talk much about this, but everyone helped each other then.

* the morning show of Kansai local


* the bank about 200m / 0.12miles away from my flat




Of course now ALMOST are re-built, and we can't see anything reminds us of it in Kobe.
But this is the day we should not forget. Even I was not there at that time, I cried so much when I saw news on TV.

Let's change the topic.

This is a German stinky cheese called Harzer Kse which Inshi gave me on the day I left Germany. He told me to keep it in a refrig, and be aware of its smell. Some people in SG Germany kept telling me like "invite people who you don't like, and share it, then you don't have to see them anymore in future", "it is a weapon" or so. But the expired date was yesterday, so I decided to open it last night. Celta told me to tell them on SG Germany about my experience then, so I filmed.

It's time to open the package! I tried not to breathe when I was doing it.


aw? aw? It wasn't stinky stronger more than I though.
And I tried to taste a piece of it.


Wow, it was YUMMY!!!!! I love it!!!!
I am sure some of my friends will love this Harzer Kse.

I appreciate everyone here. If I didn't know people here, probably I never knew this kind of cheese or anything yummy. Most of Japanese will never have such a great experience, if they travel to other countries with tour group. I'm proud of myself that I can make my own travel itinerary myself, try to talk to people there, and explore the towns I visit.
