Blog#3:The Greatest Dinosaur Expo 2002（Satoaki)

Hallo, everyone!
When I was third grader in 2002, I visited  Makuhari Messe in Chiba. There was exhibited many fossil dinosaurs, for example, Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Brachiosaurus. But especially among them, becoming the focus of public attention was a fossil Seismosaurus. Because it was biggest size in the exhibition. The total length of the fossil Seismosaurus was 35 meters. It was so big and I had never seen such a big fossil.

I like this museum very much. Because this museum made a deep impression on me. When I saw the fossil Seismosaurus, I couldn't believe that such a big living thing had inhabited on the earth. I want to recommend this museum because this museum was very interesting and I could have a good time. I like visting museums. Because I can get a lot of information.

                                               This is The Greatest Dinosaur Expo 2002.

Blog#2: Buten goods (Kazumichi)

Japanese goods have often unique.  Although each country has own unique, some are heterogeneous also in the country.  For example, this one is.

 

This pen case makes by Buten Company.  This company makes also goods.  This company is making even a T-shirt, jeans, zinbei and hanten, and underwear.   I can wear all the worn things for this brand.  Especially, I love T-shirt a series of Buten shopping center.  This series introduces a shop of the shopping center not existing.  For example, it introduces mosquito-repellant incense specialty shop, Japanese-style confection shop, and Kinky permanent specialty barber.

 

This is my favorite T-shirt

In this way, the goods of this company have playfulness. Though it is an authentic Japanese style, it is shifted somewhere.  This charms me.  Check here.

Blog#2: A young woman and a train(Yoshihiko)

―The tragedy occurred last week.

when I was sitting down on the train, a girl (It seems to me that shi is high school student) was coming and sit next to me. at that time her arm touched my arm by chance. I will confess honestly. I felt happy. Yes, I thought that I was lucky today. As a matter of fact  for most of man, if young women sit down next to us, we may feel that I am a person accepted socially. Of course, so am I. And People who are on a web also agree it.

 However The tragedy occurred. when her arm touched my arm by chance, she left from me immediately. I was very shocked. I can’t look her in the eye

 So I become fearful to young women since then.

 

 

 

 

Blog#1: Why the Philippine can't develop? (Yoshihiko)

  Countries in the northeast in Asia have developed since WW2. For example, Japan China Korea Taiwan.  However although the Philippines is near Northeast Asia, it didn't develop. Why its country can't develop unlike the other Northeast country. I think as follows.

  It is important for developing country to having a lot of goods for export.
From economic view point, Philippine is One of the most poverty country in ASEAN.
And Philippine has no goods for export except for sugar now. Why?

  Becouse There is no environment for glowing industry in the Philippine.
One of the most crucial problem in the Philippine is that the most of excellent student escapes to a foreign country for earning money. However the excellent student is important for the Philippine in order to grow up industry.

  That’s why Philippine government must glow and support for all of student more and more. Specially science education is very important. The country having no resources such as Singapore, Korea and Taiwan and so on... grew up the economic power by exporting an industrial commodity.

Fortunately, the most of People in the Philippine can speak and read English. This fact is big advantage for the Philippine compared with the other ASEAN country. That’s why the most of famous book in the world is written in English.

Blog#1:About green tea (Kazumichi)

 

       Most Japanese drink green tea.  Recently plastic bottle tea is popular.  But brewed tea is best of all.  Japan has a history of green tea.  Drinking tea is not only culture but also art.   Many people enjoy drinking tea various ways.  In Shizuoka, some people cultivate green tea.  Shizuoka is one of the most tea productions in Japan.  And Shizuoka tea is a big name brands.  Diverse brands are also in Shizuoka tea. 

       My great-grandfather began tea plantation.  The whole family gathers at tae picking.   In this year, I took part in tea picking.  I had backache.  Picking tea is difficult for me to select good leaves.  Good tealeaves are fresh green and twisting.  That is not easy why I saw it each and every. 

 

Right is good tea leaf. Left is not good.



This names the first tea of the season.  So the first tea of the season is very good taste.  There are little astringent taste and bitterness. There are many tastes as new leaves.

       The first tea of the season is brewed unique way.  It uses lower the boiling water.  Boiling water or water is also useless.  First put tealeaves two teaspoon in teapot.  Second boiling water is once moved to a cup, is cooled, and is poured out (Temperature of hot water: 70~80 degrees centigrade).  It extracts for about 40 seconds.  There is good tea.  Check here.
