Electronic music in Shinjuku

/0 Comments/in /by

In my free time I like to play music. Here is a picture of me playing from about 3 years ago in front of Shinjuku station . (I was quite slim then!!)
It was quite unusual for people to see someone playing electronic
music at the station. I got some funny looks, but it was a lot of fun.

Good walking route

One of my favorite walking courses is to get off the train at Kinshicho station and walk to Skytree. After that, I head to Sumidagawa and walk along the path beside the water to the Asahi building. Then, I usually cross the bridge and take a picture of all of the buildings together. Here are a couple of pictures from my last walk around that area.

If you get a chance, you should try that course. It’s nice.

Do you have any favorite routes to walk? Please share it with us

I can always tell when adults are about to cry.
(大人が泣きそうな時っていっつもわかる)

tell
見分ける
tellは「伝える」という意味でみなさんご存じの単語かと思いますが、「見分ける(聞き分ける)」「わかる」
という意味でも非常によく使います。
例：I can’t tell the difference between American accent and British accent.
(アメリカ訛りとイギリス訛りの違いがわからない)
例:How can you tell if diamonds are real?
(ダイアモンドが本物かどうかってどうやってわかるの？)

be about to+動詞の原形
～するところ
これから何かしようとしている時に使える表現で、“今まさに”というニュアンスが出ます。
例：I am about to sleep.
(今から寝るとこ)
例：I was about to call you.
(ちょうど君に電話しようと思ってたとこなんだ)
