ライフセーバー・トレーニング

ハワイ大学ライフセーバー・クラブのトレーニングがクヒオビーチで行われていました。朝7時前頃から砂浜にポイントが置かれそのポイントに対し直立で走ったりこの写真のようにヨッンバイで目標まで進んだり本当にハードなトレーニングが延々と続いていました。こういったトレーニングされているので緊急時対応できるのですね。

Yoshi-san, our translator, is going back to Japan tomorrow.


Ben:
Thank you for your posting three photos,
including mine. My wonder is who wrote that
good English sentence? Ichiro or Reiko or
jointly? I would like to turn over the
translation work to those young couple. Yoshi

To: Yoshi-san
I think they pick up that English from Sapporo Snow festival guidebook for foreigners. So we need you.

Thank you very much for everything during your stay in HI.

To : Yoshi-san.
If you  remind of this photo's back ground, you also can feel we had a unfogettable memory together.
Could you keep going your excellent translation work wherever you stay?
I think you are a well-qualified person for English translation.
See you again coming May.    Ben.

Sunrise over Diamond Head in December 2010



WEll, I tried to get a photo (we took 4 this morning) of Hiro helping at my computer. This is the best I could do as the ones we took said there was an error in the 4 prints! I really want to thank Hiro for taking so much time to help me. He is really committed to this blog.
If not for him and Ben, we would not be enjoying this wonderful communication tool. Once again, arigato to both of you for making us
computer literate, well somewhat.
aloha, Susan

To Ben: You do not have to adjust the color of this photo. This is a Sunrise.

Hiro, my hero!


I would like to thank Hiro for spending more time to get me linked back on the blog
after we got a new computer and accidentally erased all the information regarding
KPTC's blog site. Mahalo for this morning, Hiro. You are a Prince.
Aloha, Susan

From Tom (90), Tom (91 coming May) 2011/2/2はいい夫婦の日です。

畑仕事を終わって

Sachi がコートに現れ足元を見ると畑仕事を終わってコートに来たような状況でした。これは、早朝テニスコート周りの芝生が刈られ朝露が芝生に落ちていた所を歩いてきたのでカットされた芝生が足に絡みついてしまったのです。この後 Sachi は、コート脇の水道で足を洗いテニスシューズに履き替えいつものようにボールを追いかけてコート中を走り回って楽しいゲームを見せてくれまし
Sachi has just finished her "farmers' work".
   If you look at her feet, you might think she came out to our court after
   finishing her "farmer's work" looking her feet which are covered with the
   lawn grass.  Not really,she has walked through the park to reach the court.
   She washes out the grass and returns to the court to beat, as usuall, her
   opponents, whoever, including her husband.

The record number of postings on this blog last month.

We have the record in Jan. Total 323 postings on this blog in the month of January 2011, which average were more than 10 contributions per day.
We sincerely thank you for the cooperation by those who post their news and comments. Particularly regular contributors, Hiro, Ben, Yutaka, 2 Yoshis, Reiko, Chizuko, Ozzie, Joe, Ichiro& Reiko, Ted and Charles. They are great supporters. Posting to blog is quite time-consuming. Take photos, transfer them to their PC, open the blog, lock-in, select the photo to be posted, adjust color shade, brightness and size, write the sentence and occasionally translate it. Even if a work is completed in ten minutes, which is not possible, that translates and contributors have spent more than total 3000 mins, that is,more than 50 hours in January. (10
x300= 3000 mins.). We all appreciate it. Please continue to do that for the KPTC people all over the world.

For the non-contributers:
To communicate each other is vital in understanding each other, It would be appreciated if you could write and put your appreciations, messages to the birthday people, thanks word, and comments on this blog. (Especially Ben will be happy in reading them). We will be more than happy to give you an orientation how to put your words into "comment" column.

Chizuko is wearing heavy overcoat in Chiba Japan, I guess she yearn for Hawaii weather very much now !!

Currency Hot spots of 2010



The people in green color countries are easier to visit Hawaii than 2009 because of the stronger currency against $. Asia is strong, EU is weak.
