Kurashiki

I usually go to somewhere with my boyfriend to do something. I like to travel. If I have enough time to do that, I go to place something interesting out of Shimane. The most interesting place that I have been to is Kurashiki. Kurashiki is well-known as Historical place. They has beautiful place such as Kyoto. People who lives in there protect their environment from urban development. I guess that foreigners don't know this place. Actually I didn't know the place until 18years old.  I love there because they has many funny shop. They sell very Japanese stuff. You can buy whatever you want such as Japanese stuff. It has traditional pattern and shape. You will be enjoy with it. I have pictures of it.  The pictur is about Kurashiki.
Please be enjoy!

I really love New Years Day!

People Pray their fortune

My favorite Japanese Holiday is New Years Day. Because I can absolutely meet my family on the day. As I hardly see my family, My parent are very busy all day. They don’t stay at home for a long time. That is why I cannot stay with my family. But for this day, they can stay for celebrating with me! I love the day. I feel very happy this time, every year. I eat traditional food called “Osechi” on the day. In New Years Eve, I make it with my mother for celebrating next day. Contents of ocechi is different in each family. Actually You can put anything that you want to eat in it. Generally Japanese like to put fish and some vegetables in it. Last Year, I went out to big temple to pray my fortune with my two brothers at mid night. I guess that it was 2:00 am then. However there are many people outside, around temple. But that time, my father still had walked, that is why we went to my father’s place of work to bring a dinner pack. It took 2 hours from my house. It was really fun for me. At last, I came bake to home in the morning. It was very exiting day. I love new years day very much.

I am enjoyed going somewhere!

My University, it is said that university of Shimane is one of the small collage in Japan. Although we have a lot of space, there are more than 1000 people here. My major is sociology. I study social welfare, international relationships, and more. I am fresh man that is why I have to study many things, foundation of society. I will be able to choose what I would like to study something interesting from second years. Moreover, I like meeting new people. I have a plan to go to university in America for a year. I must study hard to pass the exam. I like talking to my friends in lunch and after school. I would like to take license of English teacher. After school, I study English grammar almost everyday. I hope my English will be better. Sometimes I go to trip alone. I like to go to places something famous. I came to here from Osaka. That’s why I don’t know about here yet. I try to go to somewhere around here. However there is no place to buy something new for young people. I have to go Hiroshima if I want something to buy. It takes 2 hours from here.

Debate Club!

I am going to introduce my club activity. I am joining debate club now.  Everyone knows debate is kind of discussion. There are more than 10 people in this minor club. Older students are very good at speaking and discussing. They are used to do it. That's why I respect them very much. As I like to say my opinion to others, I decided to join this club. I always think about many issues with club members. It sometime is kind of difficult for me. To discuss about social problem logically is hard. Our club member have a big debate at festival of university of shimane every year. We discussed about "Englishnization at company in Japan" this year. Some big company started "Englishnization" at company. Every one must be able to speak English. It's a required skill for Japanese now. But I think almost all people don't need speak English in Japan. We live in different country, that is why it is absurd. However I really want to speak English fluently in my future. Anyway, I am very enjoyed joining this club activity! Dose anybody like discussing about something interesting?

Big City Osaka

I am going to introduce about place, my home town that I was born. I was born in Osaka.  There are so many good places for eating, shopping, sightseeing. I love my home town. Osaka is one of the big city in Japan. Many people lives in big community. That is why it is very good place but sometimes it's very noisy outside.

Osaka Castle

 I usually go out to Osaka station with my friend. Around Osaka station, there are many shops, restraunts and cafeteria. Everybody comes to there to have good time with family or friends. Around Osaka station was called "Kita Area" by people who live in Osaka.  Also Osaka is know as there has famous food, "takoyaki". It has circle shape like a ball and small. Do you know this food? Every one loves it in Japan. Osaka has a big park named "Osaka Castle Park" There are big famous castle in the park. You can go into castle and know history about Japanese interesting history. I would like to recommend you to go there if you interested in Japanese history. Have you been to Osaka? If you have never, Please visit there! I hope you will like Osaka.
