Introducing Myself and My Favorite Things

 Hi. I'm Shogo Takatsuki. I'm from Kanagawa. I major in Earth and Planetary System Science.

I like tripping in the wilderness such as trekking, hiking, and going off-road on my bike. Occasionally, I go bikepacking—the synthesis of all-terrain cycling and backpacking. When I am riding a bike—not driving—I can experience the air in the countryside, the forest, and the riverside. I also like  to hear the sound of birds,  insects, river water flowing and tree swaying. Additionally, I often camp out on this kind of trip, I love the moment when I open the door of the tent before dawn. The clear  tensioned air wake me, and then rising sun gives me vigor. These are exciting.

These days, I am preparing for the next trip. I'm going to go bikepacking in Hokkaido on March. It will still so cold that I have to get many gears: spike tires for the icy road, a hard shell for the cold wind, down wears and sleeping bag for the freezing nights. Preparing is the most important, and one of the funniest phase. I imagine the trip and think what I need or not.

Well, How will the next trip be? I'm so looking forward to it.

the Antarctic; A Place Further Than the Universe

     While it is getting cold in Japan, there is a place where short summer has come. At the place the sun creeps on the horizon. It is basically very cold. Sometimes extremely strong blizzard attacks. The place is the Antarctic.      Many people may want to go there once in a lifetime. I also want to do so. Indeed, I want to work there. Yearning for the Antarctic is one of the reasons why I am studying Earth and Planetary Science.  I want to research the geographic history of the Antarctic.      When I was worried about my path, I met the anime:" Sora Yorimo Tooi Basho". The title means a place further than the universe. This is a story about teenage girls who aim to go to the Antarctic. Each one has reasons why they are going to the place, and  difficulties. They overcome them together.  I really moved and decided to pursue the thing I want to do like them.  This anime made me who I am now.      I also loo...

Different Winters Depend on the Region

     These days it is getting cold. I am in trouble because I don't have so many winter clothes. I want to go to buy a nice jacket in the city.      By the way, it is the first winter that I begin to live in Saijo. Before I came to Saijo, I live in Yokohama. On the Pasific side in Japan, it rarely snows even in the deep of winter. It is not so cold. So I was surprised by the cold in last spring in Saijo. Sometimes People suffer from dryness. It causes rough skin. I always carried a tube of hand cream. On the other hand on the sea of Japan side, it is called heavy snowfall area. Under the influence of wet air from the sea of Japan, it snows 2 –3 meters every year.      Climate is different depend on the region, but What I was surprised is the difference of temperature between Hiroshima city and Saijo. I don't know why, but in Saijo it is colder than Hiroshima city. What is the cause?

a Picture of Cattle

      There are cattle and people playing the cellos in a cow-shed. Cattle are interested in the melody of the cellos. A calf seems to want to listen to the music in front of the band, but many cows are obstructing his path.
