富士山に毎日登山している人

毎日、富士山 ( 3,776m ) に登っている人がいることに驚きました。
しかも年齢が69才。神奈川県秦野市在住の佐々木茂良さんです。

毎日、午前4時~5時頃起床。富士山の5合目まで車。
午前8時に登山開始。10:45 a.m. 頂上到着。
0:50 p.m.に5合目に戻って来る日課だそうです。

このコース登山では、大体10時間位かかるそうですが、
佐々木さんは、4時間50分の登山でした。

登山部の大学生達が同行してましたが、佐々木さんの
健脚には音を上げ、かないませんでした。

驚きはそれだけではありません。下山後、体力に余裕がある時は、
金時山 (1,213m )にも登られ、その後はゴルフの打ちっ放しも
されることがあるそうです。

生まれは岩手県花巻だそうで、子供の頃、山野を走り回っていたと
語っておられました。45才の時、新田次郎の実在の人物小見山正さんを
モデルにした「強力」を読み、それに触発されたとか。

これまで 富士山登山を584回達成され、今年の初秋頃には
600回登山を達成されていると思います。

NHKテレビのドキュメンタリー番組「熱中人」を
再放送を含めて2回見ました。

よかよかブログの投稿者にも凄い方がおられます。
「猫好きランナーのマラソン奮闘記」を記述されている方で
毎日、30km位マラソンしておられます。これも驚きです。

豪雨

It has been bad weather since a few days ago.
We had especially heavy rain three days ago.

It was the twenty fourth of July.
It was pouring rain.

Raining was more than 100mm an hour even in Fukuoka City.
The newspaper said that two persons passed away
and was lost because of localized heavy rain.

I could not help pitying them for natural disasters.

Judging from the look of the sky, it will rain tomorrow.
But I hope it will be fine from tomorrow onward.

緑の教室

I went to Fukuoka-Ken Ryokka Center in Tanushimaru
to take lessons of “ Green Class ” on July 19.

It has four classes and eight lessons in all.
Its hours are two and a half.
The fixed number a class is fifty.
There are two hundred participants in all.

The previous lesson was the third time.
I think five persons were absent from it on July 19.

The lecture on July 19 was to protect trees and plants
from worms or bugs causing damage to .

I think those who take part in it like trees, plants and flowers,
or are beginners of gardeners.

I recommend it to lovers of plants living in Fukuoka and
would like plants' lovers to join in it next year.

Both the first half way to Tanushimaru and my way back were
by way of Asakura-Shi ( Amagi ). The first half way was about 41km
and It took about 75 minutes. Its back way was about 43km
and it took about 95 minutes.

I went to “ Fukuoka Small and Medium Enterprise Support Center ” to receive
a “ Study and Training ” on July 14.

“ Fukuoka Small and Medium Enterprise Support Center ” is located
at Yoshizuka in Hakata-Ward. It is beside Yosizuka Station.
I think the building has nine or so stories,

The title of a “ Study and Training ” was “ strategy by making good use of Internet ”.
The lecturer was Mr.Morita Yoshinori of Biz Assist in Kumamoto.

It was the second time.The number of learners attending the lecture was fifteen
in all at first, but two or three persons (?) were absent yesterdy.

The contents were as follows.

How do we deal effectively with how our strong services will get to be known
by customers? How should we decide the concept? Who are real customers?
How do we learn strategy and tactics by making the best use of Internet?
and so on.

同窓会

I went to a hotel to join in an alumni association on June 29.
I was a minute late for the meeting because I had been waiting for the train 
for ten minutes. But fortunately the meeting didn't begin yet.

I thought there were not so many participants in the room.
Persons who were present were about forty.

Each of us was introducing himself or herself in front of participants, talking with,
eating, or drinking for about two and a half. We had a good time.

Generally, it seems to me that participants of most alumni associations are
from ten to fifteen or so % on the average.

I hear that there are around 750 graduates in Fukuoka Prefecture,
though I am not certain of my memory, and there are around 450 graduates
in the west out of the Onga River.

It is said that the number of all graduates is about 119,000, including junior
college, women's college, and the university. The number of active university
students is about 8,000 now.

A hotel is Takakura Hotel.
an alumni association is Gakushuin's.

This school has good circumstances, for example, there are a lot of green trees
and a pond in the campus. It is quiet there. The school has many superior
professors. The size is a medium. Naturally, it is not a special school.

When you can pass the entrance examination, needless to say, you everybody
will be a student of this school.

The location is Mejiro next to Ikebukuro or Takadano-baba, and you can get to
this school in a minute on foot from Megiro Station.

I recommend high school students to be a student of this university.

I suggest those who would like to study at colleges in Tokyo, especially
at Gakushuin, study at this Juku. I'm going to tell many
about the above things. If you study at this tiny school, you will be
much smarter and know the above things much.

Gakushuin University:
〒171-8588 Tokyo-To, Toshima-Ku, Mejiro 1-5-1
