Long 3 days





この3日間卒業式と卒業パーティーと東京に遊びに行くという忙しくも楽しい日々でした。卒業式はまあつまんないし研究室で飲みに行かなあかんかったしでやや苦痛だったけども。
建築でのパーティーはたのしかったです。なんかこじゃれたバーで飲んで喋って暴れてたらいつの間にか終わってたけど、もうこのメンバーで集まることもないと思うと帰りの電車でちょっとおセンチになりました。

酒焼けした喉のまま新幹線の乗って東京行って、香港から遊びに来てたジェーンちゃんと月島行ってもんじゃ食べました。いろいろガールズトークしたけど、国は違えど女子の悩みはいろいろ一致するもんです。

新国立美術館行ってんけどおしゃれすぎて感激した。内部空間に小島みたいなんあってそこにvogue cafeが入ってて、でも私は青山のWESTでホットーケーキを食すというミッションがあったのでやめときました。次行ったら絶対こじゃれた飲み物でも頼んでやろう。
それにしても相変わらずいろんな路線が乗り入れすぎてて非常にややこしかったです。あれ考えた奴あほやろ。動線もむちゃくちゃやし乗り換えだけでだいぶ時間ロスする。ソウルとかみたく分かりやすくすればいーのに。

In these 3 days, I had graduation ceremony, graduation party, and went to Tokyo. These days were super busy but amazing. Actually graduation ceremony was pretty boring and having dinner with the professor was painful.
Anyway the party with members of Architecture was the best party ever. It was held in kinda bar. We drunk ,talked , and jumped in music. May be I won't see some of them anymore, then I fallen in sentimental feeling on the train to home.

Next day, I took Shinkansen to Tokyo with my terrible throat ( I drunk too much.). I met Jane coming from Hong Kong at Shibuya and went to Tsukishima to have Monja together. I had nice time with her. I think women have similar problems even if we are from different countries or in different situations.

Before meeting Jane, I went to The National Art Center Tokyo. It was beyond my imagination and designed well. There were 2 islands in internal space and Vogue cafe was on one of them. But I didn't go in because I had a mission to have pancakes at WEST Aoyama. I want to enjoy a drink if I go there next time.
Tokyo is amazing but I can't understand why nobody try to change transporting system in Tokyo. It is terrible. Some companies have different rails ,gates, and tickets. Who made this system must be stupid. Line of flow is not arranged  and transferring waste our time. I think subway system in Seoul was very good. Tokyo should learn something from it.

Top of The World







 スイスはチューリッヒ・サンモリッツ・ツェルマット・ベルン・ローザンヌ・ジュネーヴを快適な電車で旅しました。やはり時刻表通りに動く世界でないと最早生きていけないようです。クロアチアてきとうすぎて何も信じられなかった。

スイスは想像を遥かに上回る国で、初めて心から住みたいと思いました。
治安良し・清潔・新旧うまく組み合わさった都市景観・教養溢れすぎる国民・なんかいろいろおしゃれ・ごはんおいしい
何もかも豊かですばらしくおしゃれ、でも不必要なものは一切無いとゆう一体どうやったらあんな国ができるのか全く疑問であります。小国だからかなあ。


私建築勉強してるけど近代建築の類がきらいで、まあなぜなら調和を完全に乱すからやねんけど。それひとつがイケイケでも意味無いやん浮くやん。それやったら無いほうがまだましやん。
新旧の調和とか…戯言を…て思ってたけど、スイスはこなしてたわ。びっくりした。ほんまおしゃれすぎてずっとため息ついてたもん。意匠設計志す生徒はとりあえずスイスに送り込むべきだと思った。

あと国民の皆様の教養の高さがもう信じられなかった。特にドイツ語圏。フランス語圏はびみょうだったが…二ヶ国語はあたりまえ、ギャルソンとか3ヶ国語喋ってたお…ここまで自分の不教養を恥じたことはない。 You speak ONLY English? (しかもお粗末な)と聞かれた悲しみと苦しみ分かってくれ。日本語しゃべるで!って言うたろかと思ったけどそのとき高山病で半分天に召してたのでやめました。チキンやし。

せやねん高山病かかってん。ツェルマット(既に標高1700程)というマッターホルン(イモトが登ってたやつな)の麓みたいなとこからケーブルみたいなんでガーっと4000mまで上がるのですが苦しすぎて記憶がほとんど残っておりません。スイス人頭おかしいので標高4000からシャーっとスキーで滑り降りられてました。子供も老人も。うおみさまもこなもピンピンしてて私だけカフェみたいなとこでぐでーっとしててんけどそれもほぼ記憶から抹消されています。美しい山々とトイレの水が何故か茶色かったことだけが断片的に脳みそに残っております。

あと思い出深いのが登山鉄道に乗っていたら台湾の団体客がわーっと入ってきて、最初中国人だと思ったので詰んだ…と俯いていたらなんとも親日的やって、聞いたら台湾からいらっしゃっていた。私達のボックスにはツアーのガイドのおっちゃんが座ってんけどいろいろ教えてくれたし、車両で食べれるコース(高い)を注文できない我々を憐れんでケーキくれた。余計台湾行きたくなった。

We visited Zurich St.Moritz Zermatt Bern Losanne Geneva by comfortable train. I'm sure I can't live in where doesn't have correct timetable. Most of timetables in Croatia lie us.

Everything in Swiss was beyond my expectation, and it was my first time to think I would like to live in seriously.
Safe politically /Clean /Perfect townscape containing new and old /People high educated /Everything has got style /Nice foods
Swiss has everything, but not too much. Everything was simple. I can't understand how they have made such a perfect country. Because it is not big? hmm....

I hated modern architecture because it destroys harmony. If one of buildings is super cool, it just breaks townscape. Put modern architecture in old town? No...! I thought like this. Actually I've never seen successful example in Japan. But Swiss did. I think all of students studying design of architecture should be sent to Swiss.

And I was surprised that most of people speak at least 2 or 3 languages especially in the German-speaking part. I was disappointed with my language skill. Can you imagine my mind when I was asked "You speak ONLY English?"?(He must have wanted to add poor) I wanted to say "I speak Japanese!", but stopped, because I wasn't brave enough to say it and got mountain sick.

Yeah I got mountain sick. It was terrible. We stayed at Zermatt(Elevation 1700m) located in close to Matterhorn and took a cable car. The cable car brought us to Elevation 4000m in short time! I was almost dying and remember little things. I saw Swiss people were crazy. They were skiing from 4000m !Not only young healthy people but also old or children. The both of my friends were fine (I can't understand them.), so I just sat down in cafe. Anyway much of my memory there disappeared. I just remember beautiful mountains and water at toilet was brown.

And I have a good story. We were in Glacier Express and enjoyed amazing views from window. At a station, a group speaking Chinese came in. I misunderstood they were from mainland of China because I can't recognize difference between Mandarin or Cantonese or Taiwanese , I got scared a little.(I hope the both of governments will solve this huge problem between us immediately.) But they said Hello in Japanese. I asked them where you were from, then they answered they were from Taiwan. A guide of them sat our box. he knew about Swiss very well and gave us information. Plus he gave us cherry cake because he saw we couldn't afford meal service on the train. They made my wish to go to Taiwan stronger.


Amazing experience in Croatia

クロアチアとスイス行ってきました。写真加工するのに疲れたのでクロアチアをとりあえず…
むっさ楽しかったです。はじめてリュック(無印で1500円のへぼいやつ)で行ってんけど結構いけるな。楽やし。
こなは地図読むのすごいしうおみちゃんはなんでもよく知っててぱきぱき決めてくれるし、無能な私はおふたりの荷物としてくっついておりました。

ザグレブ・プリトヴィッチェ・スプリット・ドゥブロヴニクをバス(しかない)で巡ってんけどどこも素晴らしかったです。パリとかみたいにでかくないから気楽にふらふらして、疲れたらカフェでうだうだ、公園でゴロゴロ、アイスクリームぺろぺろしてた。
ご飯とお酒も最高でもうなんも言うことはない。

ただプリトヴィッチェとゆう想像を絶する田舎で雪が積もってて寒いなか迷子になったときは精神薄弱な私は半分泣きかけて、おふたりの荷物どころか最早負債となり果てた。言い訳させていただくとあんなド田舎に車なしで行ったことないのよ…無理だよ…

歴史のことはまったくわからんのだがどうやら結構最近まで戦争やってたらしく穴あいた建物おいてあったりした。そんな戦争しそうな人々には見えなかったのやけども…南部の人は特に明るくて親切やったし基本的にみんな英語できるとゆう素敵国家でした。江南スタイル!とかゆわれたけど、仏や伊等に比べたらみなさんお上品でヘンな絡みをしてくるおっさんもおらずなんで日本やとこうもマイナー国なのか謎。


I traveled in Croatia and Swiss. I was bored with editing photos, here are only Croatia photos. I'll upload Swiss post later.
Anyway I really enjoyed this travelling! That was my first time to travel with only backpack(bought in MUJI 1500yen), but it was not problem!
My 2 friends who went to with me were good at reading maps and had much information, sadly I was incompetent.....haha.......

We visited Zagreb, Plitvice lakes, Split, Dubrovnik by buses (we had no choice). All of them were amazing and pretty adorable. These cities are not big, so we needn't to plan, just walked around and took break in cute cafes, beautiful parks.
Croatia's foods and drinks were great enough to satisfy us.

The worst experience in Croatia was that we lost our way in snowed and cold mountain, it was getting dark. I was almost crying and my friends cheered me up. Let me make an excuse, I've been grown up in a big city and never been to kinda mountain without car.

Oh... I don't know much about history but Croatia had war about 15 years ago. They still keep broken buildings not to forget war. People in Croatia don't seem to do war....especially people in south part were friendly and kind, and most of them speak English well. Some boys screamed Gangnam Style at us. haha Why this perfect country is not popular in Japan?
