Dear ALL
Hello!!
Today I reached at Sibiu, in the central city of the Transilvania district I think.
It is pretty hot day, like in summer in Japan. However, it was much rain and thwnder last night. Unfortunately, I stayed at tent. So, I couldn't sleep well. But, no thwnder dropped on my tent, I was lucky!!
In these three days I came from capital and I have passed at Transilvanian city, Brasov, Sighisoara and here. Every city is pretty beautiful like in Oxford and of course there were beautiful mountains. I want to stay all days in here if not rains.
By the way, do you know what is common between roads, mountains and life?
The answer has already written in a title.
When I come to the up in a road I need to get out of the bicycle and push it up to the top. But, after that, I don't need to push my pedals. That is one of the best moment on my trip! How cool it is!! Those conditions are sometimes influence on my feelings such as weather, wind, and road. But the difference of the two and the life is whether there is feeling or not.
Mountains are always standing there.
Roads are always continuing there.
But, life would be changed by myself.
There is no rute like mountains and roads.
I am the only one who can make for my future!!

The Meaning of Journey
Kankouchiniha hitogataklusan minna isogashisoudesu
watashiha inakanohouga sukidesu
Dear ALL
As I said yesterday, I am thinking about what kind of style of my journey.
I am still not sure but I think or hope my journey is not same like a tour.
In my dictionary, tour describes as follows; a trip for pleasure, during which you visit several different towns, areas etc. Compared to tour, traveling is as follows; the act or activity of going from one place to another, especially places that are far away. And sightseeing is as follows; the activity of visiting famous or interesting places, especially as a tourist.
What I insist on here is that my journey is neither sightseeing nor tour.
Today, I went to Bucharest to do shightseeing. Of couse, it was interesting but at the same time it was boring because I was alone. When I went to Istanbul and Sofia as a sightseeing , I went to with my friend. However, in this time I went to alone! I decided that I never go to a sightseeing by alone!!!
From this experience, I noticed one thing.
The purpose of my sightseeing at Istanbul or Sofia were not just to see beautiful building but talking and pleasure to the person who is next to me.
I would be able to go the same place to come after 5 or 10 years later as a sightseeing, but I don't think that I am going to meet everyone who met in my journey and plan the same journey of my life.
As it were, the person who I met with my journey is Now or Never.
Even if a meeting is just once, or if so, I need to cherish the meeting.
It is said that in Japanese like this; Ichigo Ichie.
Don't forget and keep in my mind.

Over the Donau
Donaugawawo koete Romaniani kimashita.
Takusanno deaini kansyashite kichounazikanwo taisetsuni sugoshiteimasu.
Dear ALL
Bucharest is the capital. This is the first city of Romania which is the third country of my journey.
City is a place where people is heading for. From this view, there is not so big differences between Istanbul, Sofia, and Bucharest including in Tokyo.
While I am staying at village, I want to go to city. Instead of this, when I am staying at a city, I want to go to countryside.
Like this way, when I am alone, I want to talk with people. While I am talking with people I want to be alone.
Two weeks has passed when I leave for UK.
I don't know exactly, but I think I might need some change of my style of jouney.
I feel like a little bit busy, so I lost something important things which I haven't noticed.
Thinking trip has already started.

Dear ALL
How was the weather in Japan?
In these three days, it has been a pretty good weather in here. And like in Japan, Bulgaria is a long holiday. People in city go back to their town and city is pretty silent and peaceful.
Anyway, I reached at Belene in the northern part of Bulgarian town and river side of Dunav. Everything is beautiful except for garbeges. People in Bulgaria sometimes throw thier garbege away and town getting dirty. It takes a little time to understand that throwing garbege is a bad habit I heard.
By the way, I stayed at an apartment of an American guy. His English is easy to listen compared to yesterday one. But before I go to England I need to good listener in British English.
While I am riding on the bicycle today, I didn't listen to Beatles. Instead, I just say to myself all on the bicycle. There is no teacher and no listener but I feel like speaking English well. It would be a good way to have a confident in English!! ha ha!!
Tomorrow, I'll go to Ruse, which is the last city in Bulgaria.
Lastly, I atacched some recent pictures which I taken.
See you later,

On a road
Pleven toiu machi ni kimashita. takusan hitoga atsumatteimasu.
zitensyaryokouha hontouni toshiga koishiku narimasu.
Dear ALL
Hello!!
I just reached at Pleven, which is around 120km from Sofia. The staying at Sofia was really great. I spent my time with my hosts who are the best friendship brothers in the world and also Brazilan girl. Sofia is a capital but it is not so big city like in Tokyo.
These two days are really good weather and pretty comfortable on bike. Actually, I repaired the front giar with older brother and he have a good skill. The giar has really worked well than I thought.
That's why I can come to here easily!!
On my way to Pleven, I learned a lot. I just want to write two things.
Firstly, I met two English guys while I traveled. One is a man around 30 years old. The other is a girl. The are traveled together right now. But, the girl traveled just 4 days ago. And the man is traveled from Israel by walk. Suprisingly, he walks 20km per day heading for England.
According to his information, I think we will meet again when I reach at England.
Secondly, when I passed a countryside at Blugaria I met a woman on the edge of the road. I really didn't know what she was doing. Then I asked her "what are you doing?" and she said "I am waiting for a man who will sex with me. " and I answered"OK, sorry to interupt " and "why not?" she said.
Once, I heard that a girl should protect her body. But I thought that a girl can sell her body insted.
It smells like developing countries.
Riding on a bicycle with keep myself safe.
See you soon,

A Date at Sofia
kankouchi ni kimashita.
Zitensha ryokou ha tokai ga koishiku narimasu.
Dear ALL
Good mornig!!
I am still at Sofia. Yesterday, I went to downtown at Sofia and hang around with a girl, who is a student at University of Sofia. And she is studying Japanese and speaks pretty good Japanese.
Actually, she has studied in Japanese for 2 years when she entered in the University. And she also speak in English, she is really smart girl!!
I never thought that people who lives in Blugaria study Japanese. In fact, I heard that only 2 universities can study Japanese. I think there is not so much teacher to teach Japanese in Blugaria. For me, I will never learn Bulugarian before I study European language like Germany and French. But, I just started to learn Kililu character (kilikumozi) to read the name of the city in Bulugaria. If I need, I would learn!!
By the way, she have been to Japan last year. And she also going to Japan next year, if possible. For the time being, my English is worse than her English. I hope by the when she come to Japan, my English is better than her Japanese!! And I can speak Ggermany and French!!

A Rainny Day
Amenohi ha oyasumishiyou
Dear ALL
Hello!!
I reached at Sofia, the capital city in Blugaria.
Yesterday I slept with a Malaysian girl and today I sleep with a Brazilian girl.(not in one bed)
This is so internationalistic, isn't it?
By the way, today I rode on a bicycle more than 130km in a rain. When I woak up in the morning, it was not so much rain. So, I decided to go. Rain is not good for bicycle, but I stayed at Plovdiv 3 days. It is too much I thought.
Of course, my bag is warter proof and I put on a rain court. Then I started. But actually, it was too hard for me to bycicle in a rain. Firstly, the bicycle is heavey. It needs too much power than sunny day. Secondly, it is dangerous. Cars and trucks are faster than Japan. And they might slip when roads are wet. In addition, my eyesight is not so good. I can see just 50-100 meters.
That's why, I reached at Sofia at 9 pm with wet suits!! It takes more than 11 hours.
I decided not to go when it's rain. But I learned a lots from the experience.
I heard that rainny day is not good for a bicycle, but for me, of what?
Just do it, it gaves me a good answer.
Tomorrow, I will stay at Sofia. And, the next day I am going to Pleven, in the northwestern part of Bulugaria. Then to Ruse and Rumania, that would be the third country of my trip.
And I hope my English is getting better day by day!!
Good Night for all,
