EURO 2016, スペインvsチェコ戦,チェコスコアレスドローに持ち込むことに
成功するかと思ったら,ピケ選手がゴール。直接の10番対決,セスク選手対
ロシツキー選手にアーセナルファンとしては感慨深いものがありました。
そして,なんといってもベルギーvsイタリア戦。普段イタリアを応援することは
まずないんですが,史上最強ベルギーvs史上最弱イタリアという構図では,
イタリアを応援しないわけには行きません。2つのゴールとも美しいシュートでした。
イタリアのグループ最下位もあり得るなんていう前評判を吹き飛ばす快勝でした。
今日は,観戦は見送ります。

当初,受験予定ではなかった7月のTOEIC公開試験ですが,申し込みました。

Fantastic Places in Japan: Planetarium Galaxy

Tokyo temple with planetarium lets you ponder the cosmos while you gaze at it

Shoganji Temple in Tokyo’s Katsushika Ward has the standard trappings you’d expect from a place 
of Buddhist worship that was founded over 400 years ago. 
The man behind all of this uniqueness is Ryo Kasuga, the 17th head priest of Shoganji. 
Despite being in charge of a temple, Kasuga didn’t grow up in a monastery, secluded form the world 
at large. 
Kasuga spent time living and studying in Germany and Italy, where he was also a prize-winning tenor.
His other hobbies include magic tricks and astronomy, which brings us to the contents of the uniquely 
decorated building. Step inside and you’ll find a fully functioning planetarium.
The planetarium, officially called the Planetarium Theater Galaxy, holds 22 visitors, and its stylish 
interior is top-notch, with gleaming wooden flooring and comfy leather seats that swivel and recline.
Kasuga himself presents an explanation on the stars, accompanied by one other presenter. 
The rationale between having two speakers is two-fold. 
First, Kasuga believes that listening to only a single person talk can feel monotonous, making it hard 
for the audience to maintain concentration on what they are being told. And secondly, having a partner allows the presenters to crack jokes with each other like a traditional two-person Japanese 
manzai comedy duo. 
Visitors have described the presenters’ humor as near-professional-quality, and each month features a new routine, with topics ranging from the latest astronomical developments to often overlooked 
bits of scientific trivia.
