The demonstration in Myanmer seems to be shrinking now. The monks leading the movement are not on the road. The army government is too strong. Nobody can't damage it. This country will not be a democratic one forever. Unfortunately they have a lot of natural resources, and the best climate for farming. They wouldn't collapse naturally.
Even though Japanese journalist was killed by the shot of the army, Japanese government has not made a strong protest to Myanmer yet. Newspaper says Japanese government is afraid of losing the connection with the country with rich natural resources.
China is the most important country for Myanmer. That's why they can affect the army government's behavier to some extent. But, China's comment is this. "Both sides should be calm to solve problems." Ha ha.
Without any pressure from foreign countries, Myanmer government is going to be alive forever. If I am an activist for democracy in Myanmer, I will go out of the country soon. Because I don't think we have a good condition to change the country now. The country doesn't deserve our effort and life.

VS Castello di Brolio
Some days have passed since Japan's prime minister Abe quit his job suddenly. Now he is in a hospital. His previous job seemed to be too heavy for him. I can't understand why he quit his job more earlier. The timing for quiting was bad and late, as many say. If his decision was faster, he could come back to the politician's world soon. However, I think now his lifetime as a politician finished.
Now, people's interest is Post-Abe. LDP have to choose their new leader as soon as possible. Mr.Fukuda seems to be No.1 candidate, for his matured character. It might be only the reaction to young Abe. I doubt his leadership, but he must be the only one choice for LDP .
Last weekend, I went to Ristorante Real, an Italian wine restaurant in Yokohama, with someone, without thinking about Japan's politics at all. The restaurant was the place to which I wanted to go someday. My desire was achived at last.
It is located near the east exit of Yokohama station. Many original restaurants are around there. Some call the area Ura-Yokohama. I like the area.
My target in the Italian restaurant on the day was red wine made in Toscana. I needed an deep energetic impact on my heart by Rosso the day. I heard from my best wine adviser that Toscana's Rosso is great and gorgeous. So, I selected it.
However, the restaurant has many varieties of wine. Even in Toscana wine, there are over 30 or 40 types of wine. That's why I asked for the restaurant owner's advice, and I ordered Castello di Brolio(2001). The taste was strong enough, but it was easy to drink. I enjoyed it with some baked seafoods and a roasted duck. I think the restaurant's food is perfect for wine.
My wine life started with Australian wine last summer. And, now I am walking on the road of Italian wine, even though I am nearly on the start line. I heard that the concept of the new world wine like Australian's and that of European traditional wine like Italian's are diffrent. I can't explain it correctly, but my image to Austraian wine is "Nature", on the other hand, Itarian wine is "Culture". So, if you want to talk about cultural topics with some with drinking wine, Italian wine might be better. Of course, on the day, I talked about cultural topics like Science Fiction, in the restaurant. Next time, I have to talk about Opera or something in order to get back my lost scores.

VS Teaching
Japanese workers have many trainings after they start to work. On the Job Training (OJT) is the basic style for their training. Senior workers become trainers or teachers, and new workers learn a lot from them.
This summer, suddenly, I was asked to be a teacher for new workers by my company. I have to prepare for their training in the next month, so I am very busy now. Even though today is Sunday, I worked whole the day to prepare for it.
Fortunately I had gotten a lot of teaching technique in Kid's English Teaching Class. I think the basic technique to teach children English can be used even in Adult's Working Class. That's why this prepareation for the training is a very interesting work for me. It's a good chance for me to judge my teaching man's potentiality.
I think teaching is a very creative work. When I prepare for the training, I need to create something for it. How to explain what I know is sometimes very difficult. I have to create the explanation for it.
Unfortunately, creativity cannot happen in my office. It can happen only in a relaxing mood. So, recently, I am working even in my home! Of course, with alcohol. I know I can be the most creative, in my house and with drinking something cool. However I have a problem. The more I become creative, the more I become sleepy, for the alcohol. The balance between creativity and alcohol is difficult.
This week, I will join the new wirker's training as a teacher.
I hope the students are nice to understand well what I say and even what I don't say.
