1001 working out and visiting a museum

September was finished and October has come. This means 1 out of 4 terms of my life in the Netherlands has already passed Today I had an awesome Sunday!

 In the morning I read the book Homo Deus and at 12:00 I went to the gym with my friend. Actually I didn’t know he loved training until yesterday night. He was always calm and not talkative but its mainly because I didn’t talk to him in a positive way. He likes martial arts called bujyutsu very much and tried some competition until he got injured. He is vegan but looks to have good muscle and masculine. This is why I got curious about him and guessed he was doing some sports or something like that. Looking back his dishes, he always has been taking various kinds of beens. Today he told me TEMPEH, which is originally from Indonesia and contains many protein. He tried to take protein from bees instead of taking it from chicken. Today`s work out was awesome. Working by myself is just a heavy and hard discipline but I think I can continue training with friends. I’ve decided to go back to Japan with muscle and make my girlfriend and mom surprised. Having decided to work in a training company, I need to be looked good and masculine at least. So I will try to work out twice a week and dance once or twice a week. 

After having a lunch, I visited the museum of cool Japan. It had not only Japanese exhibition but also the other countries`s ones. There were Chinese ancient hanging scroll, in which portrait and calligraphy were written. My friend said “this Chinese character is used in the collocation” and he guessed better than me. He has a great deal of knowledge about Japanese!! This cool Japan exhibition is organized by Japanese government I think and they really like to promote “Japanese pop culture” and earn money. 

 Anyway I will enjoy the rest of my life in Leiden. Ah according to my senior, the secret of successful studying abroad is to make friends who have many friends. Keeping in mind this word and try to communicate with many people in English. Have courage to speak English in my way. No one cares about my accent. English is just a tool of communication you know.
