Brainstorming

What is left when I brainstorming of Czech except for "Prague Spring"?

Suddenly, I thought that. I examined the basic information of 13 countries, which I am going to.

But, I haven't remenber those information like population, area, capital and so on because it was too much. More correctly, I was not interested in those information. 

チェコのブレインストーミングをしたら、「プラハの春」以外に何が残るだろうか。

ふと、そんな不安にとらわれた。私が旅する13カ国については基本情報くらいは調べたのだが、何しろ情報が多すぎて頭に入ってこない。というか、興味のある情報が少なくて記憶に残らないと言った方が正確かもしれない。

That's why, I went to school library to get some information about it. "The way to work on earth"(Chikyu no arukikata), describs how to travel each coutries like "lonely planet". What I wanted to get was not that kind of infomation. I wanted to know about some attraction of each countries. Recently, there is a good book series to understand each countrie's condition in detail titled "O (number) chapters to understand O (countrie's name)", which describes like education, medicine, society,  geography and so on. But this series about 300 pages! I don't have enough time to read 13 countries and 300 pages !! if so, I'll late for my fright. The best way to understand is to read only I am interested! ! I borrowed 5 countries, Czech&Slovakia, Austria, Netherlands, and Rumania.

そんなわけで大学の図書館へ情報を仕入れに行った。地球の歩き方は旅情報だが、最近は国情報を知るのに「○○を知るために○章」といった具合の本をよく見かける。内容はかなり充実しており、すべてはとても読み切れない。本当は時間があればすべて読みたいのだが、自分の興味のわくものを探して４冊借りた。チェコ・スロバキア、ウィーン・オーストリア、オランダ、ルーマニアの計５カ国である。

After that, I went to big book store before I was going home, and I bought world maps and material data of world history, that would be last chance to put in my brain well.

Whenever I study, I couldn't do it well in just before a limit. I know this was not a good habit. But a history repeat over and over again.

帰りがけに神保町の三省堂書店によって、地図帳と歴史の資料集も購入した。

直前にならないとやらないという悪い癖が出たが、最後の悪あがきでいつも乗り越えてきたようなものである。アンテナを広げて旅に出たい。

Before I am going home, I decided to do it well, but it's easy to say that!!

I drunk a beer, and watching TV, that was the result of my golden time!!

Tomorrow, or today, I am going to spend my time to prepare for my trip. I hope that I'll spend  my time not only for body but also for brain!!

See you again!!

と、意気込んだものの家に帰るとビールを飲んでなんだか眠くなってきた。また、明日にしよう♪

明日は自転車を段ボールに入れて、旅行の準備に一日費やします！

それでは、また！
