Yoga at Key Stone Studio

 Sometimes I go to my friend's Tomomi Ishimura's Yoga class.

She teaches Yoga at Key Stone studio twice a week. She explains why you take the poses, how they work, why they are good for your body and mind in Japanese. It's very reasonable price, too. Go to charge yourself if you need more energy!

What if I got cavity in NYC?

What if I got cavity in NYC?


Answer #01: Wait until you go back to your country.
       #02: Go to a general dentist in your neighborhood. 


My answer is Going to NYUCD, New York University College of Dental clinic. You get cheap and good treatment by students who study at NYUCD and their professors. 


Last week, I got free treatment for one of my tooth as the student wanted to use my teeth as her final exam. It was nice to have a free treatment, but it started at 7:30 am and it took more than 4 hours. I need to keep opening my mouth for almost 4 hours...OMG. However, it was pretty funny experience to face to other patients who were also there for other students' exams. We laughed at each other.

*Snowmen in the Union Square Park*

I saw a big snowman and other little guys in USQ. They looked like some kind of symbol of people's pray for the world. A lot of people were taking pictures of them. I liked New York like this.

Banana Cheese Melt

I had "Banana Cheese Melt" for my breakfast.

I used to eat Tuna Cheese Melt a lot, but not any more as I'm afraid of taking mercury in my body. Instead, I make this one as the substitution. It's almost like eating a pizza, but it's much healthier and lighter with the same happiness of melting cheese! 

*Banana Cheese Melt*******************************

Preparation: 1/2 Bagel or breads, 1/2 ripe banana, cheese you love, yogurt (if desired)

1. Put your 1/2 bagel on a microwavable plate. Cut banana in round slices and place them on bagel.


2. Put some yogurt on banana slices. Sprinkle cheese on top of them.


3. Microwave 2 until cheese is melted, about 1.5 mins.
