   Japanese Table Talk   
  on October 11th, 2013  

Tomorrow (Friday), {actually it's already Friday}, We in here will have a Japanese Table Talk from 6pm. Also, I will try to help the organizer for this event. So, I am hopping to have not busy day of Friday in the morning and daytime. I am sure that I will try to get some food for bring to Japanese Table Talk since I usually eat there.... This time, they will try to have some event plan for Christmas prepare and other things for kids. That makes helping needed for this time more than ever. I usually help for some of stuff, but not all of them.

(明日(金曜日)、{すでにもう金曜日になっているのですが} 日本人へのテーブルトーク(お茶会っていうのかなぁ)が午後6時から開催されます。私も参加するんですが、今回は主催者の方々のお手伝いをしようと考えています。まぁ、いつもよりもイベントが多いというのもあるので。。。金曜日の午前中とかテーブルトークが始まるまで少しでゆっくりできれば良いなぁと思っています。でも、今回は何か持って行こうと思っています。毎回テーブルトークでは皆で持ち寄った食事を一緒に食べるようになっています。それとは別に今回はクリスマスに向けてのイベントの練習など子供たちには沢山のイベントを用意されているようなので、さすがに人手不足にならないようにと思って手伝おうと思っています。時々はイベントなどのお手伝いをしているのですが、すべて毎回出来るというわけではないので今回は精一杯やろうと思っています。)

One time, The Japanese Table Talk had this cake!

Well, I have been going to there for more than 4 year, and getting Senior member for them. Well, that means I am getting old too... lol Well, it has been more than 7 years of staying in Greenville, NC. I saw so much changing every year and so on. Wish I can tell all what it has been changed, and what it is not changed yet. I will try to update another blog post after I go to Table Talk and try to take some pictures this time more. Since, last time I took only one picture for this event, and this event is getting traditional for who coming to there. Oh yeah, Table Talk is holding for second Friday of the month usually. So we have at least 10~11 times in year. No July and/or August.

(まぁ、このテーブルトークに参加してはや4年以上になります。テーブルトーク自体が始まったのが4年前の夏(自分は始まった年の8月の終わりからの参加です)なので、自分も長いこといるなぁっと思ってしまいました。それもそのはずですね。グリーンビルに来てすでに7年以上経っていますから。グリーンビルのイベントやその他の事をもっと書きたいのですが、毎日毎日あるわけではないので書けるというほどのことではないですね。でも、こういった行事は伝統的なものになりつつあります。これからもテーブルトークはなくならないと思います。今回行ったら写真などをいっぱい取ろうと思っています。この前は一枚だけしか撮る事ができなかったので。。。この行事自体は毎月第2週の金曜日に開催されています。なので年間で10~11回ほどあります。7月か8月が夏休みでお休みです。)

If anyone want to come to visit here, please welcome to come to Table Talk anytime! (If you chance to visit North Carolina State in the USA.)

(もし皆さんも機会があれば、テーブルトークに来てみて下さい)

Japanese Table Talk!

Today, we had a good event which is Japanese Table Talk, and this month was sooner to start Fall Season, and changing summer to fall now. We usually bring one or two dishes to bring, and so on. Also, we have several topics to talk over hours, and having fun time together. Children made bird house decoration, and that was so great all of them. I took one picture for that one. After all, I was trying to help main sponsor to talk topics and some activities. It was a great time people to have conversation and learn some new different knowledge from others. Well, it is a good time to have all of them.
(本日、テーブルトークという楽しいイベントがありました。今月は秋が始まる月でもあり、夏から秋に変わっていく季節の変わり目です。テーブルトークには来る人たちが１品料理やデザートを持ち寄って皆で楽しく会話をしながら食べる会です。それから、主催者の人たちがいろいろとトピックなどで話しをしたり、アクティビティーなどをして数時間を一緒に過ごします。楽しい一時がやはりいいと思われます。今回、子供たちが鳥の巣箱に色を付けるという工作をしました。みんないろいろな色を付けていましたが、出来上がっていたものはすごく良い作品のようになっていました。1枚だけ写真に収めていました。それ以外でメインの主催者の方のお手伝いを出来るように頑張ったりなどしました。これはすごくいいテーブルトークになりました。楽しい会話や新しい知識などを他の方から教えてもらえるとても良い機会です。とても良い時間をすごすことが出来ました。)

Here is the picture I took

bird house decorations!
Looks so great! 

Also, I got birthday card from table talk. The Birthday is everyone has in one year, but for every month, we actually have someone's birthday. Since we are going to meet everyone once a month, why not to celebrate their birthday with everyone who come to Table Talk. So we started to have Birthday celebration every time we met. It was started around 3 to 4 years ago, and this is getting one of tradition for our Table Talk now. Hopefully, that will be continue and will be stay long like this.
(また、今回誕生日カードを頂きました。皆さんからのメッセージの入った誕生日カードはとても素敵なもので毎年うれしく思っております。実際、誕生日は1年に一回誰にでも訪れるものです。でも、実際には毎月誰かが誕生日を迎えるということにもなります。そこで毎月皆で集まるこの会で誕生日のお祝いを出来ないかという事から誕生日カードを渡すことが始まりました。始まったのは3年か4年前になりますが今では伝統になりつつあります。テーブルトークがある限りこのイベントを続けて行ってくれればいい思い出が増えていくのではないかと思います。このまま続くとうれしいものですね。)

Hopefully, all people have a great weekend!

Table Talk

On Friday, Japanese people have Table Talk like once a month. This is provide by a church people, and one person who is everyone knows person for us.

I like to go there and see what's going on. It is nice to see people in Greenville, NC and who are Japanese people. Also, you can know them and they are really nice people. I am tutoring some of their children. Also, that time I can know people other than who I know already. Also, making new friends there too. I usually talk to some American people, and some Japanese people.

When you go there, you can taste some Japanese food too. It is not only Japanese food, but it is nice to have some food from everyone. I am sure that is really nice and it is really good way to taste Japanese food. I like to invite American friend who are at ECU.

But not all the time, I can invite them. Well it is a good get together community who is from Japan. Also, American people always told me that "Any people are welcome to come here at table talk, and it is good way to people know another culture." Usually Table Talk has some related month Japanese events. So you will enjoy to join there.

Sometime, we will have a lot of things going on but sometime just one or two important things going on.

Well hope I will have fun time next one!!!
