Happy New Year!

Hi! Long time no see and Happy New Year!!
How was your winter vacation?
And how was your New Years Holiday?
I hope you had a good holiday.

In my case, I did not do that special.
I did my part-time job for 3 days before New Years Day and on New Years Holiday, I stayed at home drinking alcohol, eating some foods for New Year. So, I got fat as you can see. haha

But, I could relax at home with my family.

On spring vacation, I wanna do something exciting and also study hard.

Thank you**

I Got Fat!!

Hi!Everyone!!
The rest days of this month we come to school has only more 3 days and we are about to finish assignments to do.
We will have a winter vacation.What are you gonna do on the vacation?
Most people will go back to your hometown and welcome new year with your family or your friends or your lover(^з^*)
As for me, I will work at my part-time job until 8 or 9,and welcome new year with my family at home.That is a routine way for New Years Eve.

Anyway, I feel that I got fat these days because of my bad behavior.
When I finished eating supper,I tend to lie down to watch TV or to sleep.
Moreover,after the dinner, sometimes my mother provides me with some sweets. So, I cannot help eating them. I feel a little bit scared of weigh myself on the scale.

But, when I see some sweets, I cannot ignore them...That is my bad point.
In spite of that, next year my 3 friends and I are planning to go to sweet paradise.Most people know it especially female!We can eat various kinds of cakes and foods with 1480 yen.








You should try!!
Thank you★*

Univa!!!



Look at a beautiful Christmas tree above**
Last Saturday,I went to Universal Studios Japan with my friend, Etsuko.
It is probably 4th time to go there with Etsuko.
We went there for the first time when we were 2nd grade of junior high school student.We can go there easily just taking the train!!
We might be a professional guides of Universal Studios.

However,this time was kind of special:we finally got a ticket which is available for one year.It cost 11,500yen.For one day ticket,it costs 5500yen or so.
As you know,one year tickets are nice!!
I want to recommend you to buy it if you like there.
If you get it,you can go there anytime you want to go.

We had a good time.
We decided to go there at least 10 times with the ticket,I am not sure it will carry out.

Buckwheat noodle

Hello!It is getting cold these days.I cannot stand the cold but I have to put up with it for coming my favorite season,spring!!

As you know,Dec 31th is a day called New Year's Eve which is the last day of this year.You would eat Japanese buckwheat called soba in Japanese when the following year comes soon.In my case,this year,I guess I would eat it at my part-time job because I work at soba restaurant,so many many customers will come to eat soba on New Year's Eve.(I am supposed to work on New Year's Eve)The day would be the most busiest day for me...

I want to introduce some dishes which are served at my workplace.I can eat most buckwheat noodles if I pay 150yen.(Their normal price is about from 700 to 800yen)

It's a common soba called zaru-soba.I like it very much!!



This is the one of my favorite soba!It is called kamonanban-soba.
There are duck and leek into the soba.The taste is perfect!!


However,I decided to quit my part-time job on January...
So,I want to try most dishes that I can eat!!

# 3days holiday#

How was your 3days holiday?
It must have been a free holiday because we had no homework!!
I felt strange about that because every weekends,we had to do homework at least one.
So,I would like to write about the holiday.

On Friday,I was so free because my parents went to Hiroshima to help my grandparents.There were only me and our dog at home(my older-brother was also but he always works until late at night)In the afternoon,I went my part-time job and worked for 5 hours.In the evening,I slept for about 3 hours with my dog and
watched "Meangirls" which I rent at TSUTAYA and went to bed.What was an
uninteresting day!But,I enjoyed very much.

On Saturday,Yuji and I went to Kiyomizu temple in Kyoto to see a maple tree.
There were too many people there so it was hard to move.Under the situation,we could see some beautiful maple trees. But,I would recommend you to go to see them a little bit later because they were not perfectly red.But,they were for sure tasteful.
You should go to Kyoto to see a maple tree!

Although it was not that special holiday,I had a very good time.
I hope that winter vacation will come soon!!

Protect the whales off Australia

For today's assignment,from many letters,I picked up the letter entitled "Protect the whales off Australia" written by Craig Stringer.It is a claim about Japanese whaling including Migaloo who is an Australian preferred humpback whale in order to do research him.The plan will start in less than one week and she thinks it should not be done.

Through her logic,she is trying to make readers realize that how Japanese plan is stupid by using numbers of how many whales they are
planing to kill(in this case,she insists 50 humpback whales and 10 fin whales would be killed)and she explains the detailed tragic process of researching whales like their bodies are born and peered.These contents implies that the plan would lead to an extinction of Australian whales and in addition to that,although she does not use her emotion in the letter directly,she is trying to warn Japanese government not to do it for the future.

She seems to have proud as Australian from the letter because she mentions that Australian government does not do such a thing which might lead to an extinction rather it keeps protecting from now on.So,one thing that she is an Australian is her authority in this letter.

New law;Fingerprinting

This article"Not so welcome to Japan any longer." is protest against the law which is when foreigners enter Japan,they have to take their fingerprint or photograph to identity whether they are terrorists or not.It will be start by an immigration bureau and the justice ministry in Nov.20.

The writer feels that this law is smug and arrogant, and either dishonest or dangerously deluded because it will invade human right and fingerprinting and photographing do not completely leave who is a terrorist,it is just for establishing identity.

I think the writer seems to be true.Fingerprinting might help prevention of terrorists effectively but if it is applied to all foreigners except for terrorists,they would feel that Japanese are unwelcome to Japan and they might be invade their privacy.Certainly,it has an effect to warn international terrorists to stop entering Japan but it will affect all foreigners who has nothing to do with terrorists.
