Welcome to the Make Sense blog. What we're going to do here is learn English vocab through photos, taken by myself in the beginning, or with submissions from you beautiful people out there.
I will explain the photo, then break down my explanation in English and Japanese. If you have any questions, please ask. I have also included the phonetics to help pronunciation. I also explain it via Youtube.
This house is in Wellington, New Zealand. The house owners park their cars at the bottom of the hill. The house sits on top of the hill. They park their cars, then ride the railcar to the top of the hill.
It seems to be very inconvenient. The wind often blows a gale in Wellington, and when I was there it was raining too. The view looks out over Wellington Harbour, and is very beautiful I think.
If I lived there, I would always remember to do all my shopping, and I would try not to forget anything. I wouldn't need to worry about unwanted visitors. I guess every cloud has a silver lining.
