Welcome to NEW EUGENE (written in English)

Why I start this weblog, "NEW EUGENE"

For about 10 years from 1998 to 2009, I managed a hobby Home Page and Weblog, called "the City of Eugene". The site had banch of my hobbies contents like cars, watches, movies, tennis, PC, travel, art, photography, business books, and favorite goods.
I enjoyed to made English pages ,at the same time, to maintain my English ability. By managing the English pages, There was a pretty good access from over the world.

Especially on pages "drive automobiles", it seems that there were few English-language websites describing the RX-7 (FD) or Accord US Wagon at that time as a personal hobby.
There was access not only from the United States but also from Australia and Russia.
Some times, I posted their cars' photes with their comments.
In addition, on pages "enjoy travel", a travel journal mail sent by a friend (American) who is traveling the world was posted on the site with her permit so that other friends could also view them.
By introducing excellent restaurants in one of my friends' article, “Kyo-onna's gourmet articles in Kyoto,” I realized the convenience of the website and the value of the English-language website.
Looking back, it might be that "the City of Eugene " had a function of the small and primitive SNS too.

In 2010, the work environment and living environment changed with the relocation, and due to the rise of SNS, I stopped using HP and blogs.

I started to using SNS as one of early adopters and was surprised by its convenience compared to HP and blogs.
But, I realized the its convenience was based on providing all the information in my smartphone such as contacts and photos to the SNS.
Then, I decided to withdrew from the point of privacy. (However, by the experience of Great East Japan Earthquake, I only have Twitter account for contact.)

However, the amount of thought and information I would like to share and the information widely increased day by day, and I felt that Twitter is too short to write, so I decided to start this weblog "NEW EUGENE".

Since it is an information network society now, the protection of personal information always comes first.

The contents of NEW EUGENE

The basic spirit remains unchanged, with the following focus on what I think about while enjoying my hobbies and interests, what I want to share, and what values ​​have changed significantly over the last 10 years.
I also want to manage English pages to maintain my English skill, but since it is different from home pages, I would like to do trial and error considering how easy it is to read the weblog.
