I am a Japanese female who came to the U.S. for the research opportunity as a scientist.
In my free time, I go hiking, backpacking, XC skiing. I love to be in the deep wilderness. I write my adventures from all over the world and Introduce the beauty of nature, from a viewpoint of Japanese.

Ed R. Levin County Park Day Hiking
<Japanese version is after English 日本語は英語の後にあります>
Ed R. Levin County is a very pretty park located in Milpitas. Milpitas is a town in the San Francisco Bay Area. Milpitas is located at the end of the Bay, at the border between East Bay and South Bay.
Nice View
When you climb at the top of the hill in Ed Levin Park, you can see the end of SF bay. It is interesting and nice. Hills are green in the spring. It is pretty.
I went hiking this park with Mr.N, Ms.M, and Mr.B. Three of them are Americans. One thing I like to do during the hike in addition to enjoy the nature is learning English idioms. Especially Mr.B, as know as a book worm, has a tremendous knowledge of idioms and trivia. During this hike, I learned peanut and animal related idioms. For peanut ones: "peanut gallery", "peanut to an elephant", "if you pay peanut, you get monkeys". For cats: "a cat has nine lives", "cat nap", "cat soup". For mice: "quiet as a mouse. For rats: like rats abandoning a sinking ship.
Ms.M is my former lab member and spent 5 years on the same project together. She taught me how to survive in the U.S. It is always nice to hike with favorite people. Mr.B is Ms.M's significant other and he has unbelievably large vocabulary its etymology, and trivia. It is always fun learning something from him, especially during hikes!
