My Passport



I'm going to Garman with my husband next month.
I stay only 2 days because I can have a only few holidays.
In usual, we don't trip for such a short term but this is a special case.
My husband's friends invited us to their wedding party!
My husband and him met in NY during their trips and became friends.

I'm looking forward it very much:)
I will feel Germany culture.

How to raise your goldfish

現在、らんちゅうを2匹飼っています。
1匹は3年半、もう1匹は2年程になります。
金魚はとても飼いやすく、少しのことに注意すれば何年も一緒に過ごす事ができます。
読んだ本によると10年以上生きるそうです。
ここで、少し飼い方の説明を簡単にしようと思います!

I have 2 goldfish (the type is ranchu).
One is about 3 years and 6 month, another one is about 2 years.
It is very easy to raise goldfish and if you care for them a little, you can stay with them for many years.
According to a book that I read, they can live over 10 years.
I'll do simple explanation about 'how to raise a goldfish'.

1. 金魚を買ってきたら
金魚の入った袋を水槽の水に浮かべます。こうすることで新しい金魚を水槽の水温に慣れさせることができます。
3時間くらいは置いています。
---
1. After you buy a goldfish
Put package with goldfish on water of you tank. It makes new fish getting use to temperature of water in your tank.
I take 3 hours for it.



2. 金魚を水槽に入れる
金魚を水槽に入れる場合は金魚だけを入れます。お店の水には病原菌が入っているかもしれないので入れません。
---
2. Put a goldfish into your tank
Put a new goldfish your tank,only goldfish. The water that bring from a shop may have virus or something bad.



3. 水槽に入れる金魚の数
かわいい金魚を観るとついつい沢山入れたくなりますが、沢山入れすぎないように注意が必要です。
水がすぐに汚れてしまって、水換えの回数が増えて金魚に負担がかかってしまいます。
60cm水槽で3匹とわたしの持っている本には書いてあります。
わたしは45cm水槽に2匹飼っています。
---
3. Quantity of goldfish for your tank
Don't put too many goldfish into your tank. Too many goldfish makes water durty soon so you should change water many times. It is bad for goldfish.
2 goldfish is for width of 60 cm tank.
My tank is 45cm and I have 2 goldfish.




4. 水換え
水換えは一度に3分の1くらい行います。水質の変化は金魚に負担がかかるからです。
水の底のゴミを吸い取るイメージで掃除します。
水道の水は太陽の光か薬剤でカルキ抜きします。
---
4. Changing water
You change one third of water at once. Changing all water damages goldfish.
Suck up dust at the bottom of your tank.
Tap water has chalk so sun light or chemical thing takes away it.



5. 道具
金魚を飼うのに必要な物は、水槽、フィルター、エアポンプ、砂利、水温計、夏用扇風機があれば大丈夫です。
病気になった金魚を隔離して治療する為にエアポンプと水温計はもう一つずつあった方がいいです。
---
5. Tools
Tools that you need to have goldfish are a tank, filter, air pomp, small stones, thermometer and fan for summer.
It had better that you have anoter air pomp and thermometer for treating sick fish that is separated from another fish.



6. えさやり
最後のこれは重要です!
金魚はすぐに消化不良になるので、えさのやり過ぎは禁物です。
水の中は意外と食べるものがあるそうです。
冬場は10度以下になった場合、えさやりは止めます。
冬の間3ヶ月はほとんどえさやりしませんでした。
---
6. Feeding
Last one is very important.
Don't give them too much food!
Goldfish often has indigestion.
When it is under 10 degrees, don't give them any food.
I had not given them food for about 3 months last winter.




それなりに手間はかかりますが簡単な方だと思います!
らんちゅうは体質が弱いと聞いていましたが、そんなこともないです。
Enjoy your life with goldfish!

my workplace

my workplace

This is a desk at my work place.
I work as a programmer.
I put a picture that I took at front of the visiter center in Santa Fe.
That day, it was snowing unusually.
It is one of my very lovely memories.

This time, I used ink.
I'm not familiar with ink.
I felt there are more effective ways with it.

前回の投稿ではillustration Fridayの為にその週のテーマである自転車を描きました。
そのとき、何か不満足感がありました。
前回はケント紙に描きましたが、今回はコットン紙に描きました。
