Sauna

I went to a hot spring facility on Sunday. Yesterday, after waking up, I realized that I felt really refreshed and didn’t feel any fatigue. The reason was I bathed in the hot water, but additionally, I think using the sauna was the biggest factor for distressing. In winter, it is common to use a sauna in hot spring, and after leaving the sauna, you bath in a very cold bathtub. By repeating the process, you can release your stress. I did the process three times on Sunday. Being in an extremely hot room and then extremely cold water was very refreshing. I want to visit the facility again to relax.

Hot Spring

I went to a hot spring facility last evening. It has several kinds of bathtubs, Jacuzzi, and saunas. I was really refreshed after immersing myself in those space. Massages and scrubbing services are also available if you pay extra. I tried to take the service, but unfortunately, it was full. Next time I visit the facility, I will ask them again if I can take it. Also, on the second floor, you can enjoy reading comics, lie on a long chair, and take a nap under blankets. There is a restaurant on the first floor as well. You can stay in the facility all day long if you pay 13 dollars for entrance. I will visit it again to release my stress in the hot water.

Workout with My Friend

I went to Okayama Prefecture to meet my friend and to do workout with him at a gym. After picking him up at Okayama Station, we headed to a gym which is at the outskirts of Okayama City. There were more users in the gym than I expected, but we enjoyed lifting weights for two hours. My friend has his own YouTube channel which talks about different techniques for working out. I was satisfied with his coaching because I learned some new tips to stimulate my muscles. After the workout, we went to a yakiniku restaurant to eat a lot of protein for energy recovery. He motivated me to make my own YouTube channel. I want to get more subscribers than him in the near future.

Necessity of English

In our daily lives in this city, it’s not necessary to speak English. The only place you are required to speak English is in school. Students have to learn English as a subject, although they don’t use it outside the classroom. I also work as an assistant teacher at school and it is difficult to explain why we should study English. Apparently, English is useful to talk with foreigners but there aren’t many occasions for them to meet with non-Japanese people. I have foreign friends and I understand how important being able to speak English is. I recently think about how I can make an environment where the students think of English as a required skill to be learned for their future.

Low Carbohydrate

I want to try to eat noodles which has no carbohydrate. A Japanese company Kibun produces zero carbohydrate noodle products. There are wide variety of noodles for pasta, ramen, and udon. Recently, I’m afraid of being suffered from diabetes in the future because I eat a lot of noodles and rice. Even people who are not fat can get the disease. The biggest reason to suffer from the disease is to eat too much carbohydrate day by day. By doing so, your sugar level in blood will increase and the amount of insulin will decrease. Diabetes can trigger other diseases, so I’m afraid of it. I want to take such low carbohydrate products to satisfy my appetite and to live healthy.

Carbohydrate

I read a book on carbohydrate diet yesterday. The author is a doctor and introduces us a low-carbohydrate diet. He says you should eat carbohydrate less than 130 grams and eat a lot of protein and fat. If you eat a lot of carbohydrate every day, blood sugar level will increase and you will suffer from serious diseases such as diabetes. The book made me think that I need to care about my diet more seriously to live healthy for long years. I eat rice and noodles every day, but to decrease the intake of carbohydrate, I need to eat more meat than carbohydrates. To live healthy, I will care about the amount of carbohydrate intake.

Job Openings at University

My father texted me a few days ago with a piece of information about a job opening at Kagawa University. The job consists of organizing events held for both Japanese students and exchange students and conducting English lessons. My biggest dream is to be a teacher in university, so I applied for the post yesterday. If I pass the document screening process, I’ll be joining an interview and conducting a mock lesson. I know about the university well because I graduated from that school. I like the atmosphere of university because students seem to do anything they want to do unlike elementary and high school students who have to follow any instructions from teachers. I hope to get the dream job.
