My favorite book is "le petit prince(The little prince)." Do you know this book?It is written by Antoine de Saint Exupery. He is French.

Actually, this book is for kids, but it is really popular with adults. I love this book because I could learn a kind of love for lives from this book.

It is famous words in this book"we can't see an important thing with eyes, but with heart."

I think we all should feel true splendor of a person not appearance of a person. Please read it if you have time in summer.

TV Studio

I went to TBS studio to watch the TV show's filming yesterday. I and my friend were very excited, because it was the first time to go to even TV studio.

The name of the show is "SANMA no MANNMA."

Do you know this?? I often watch this TV show. It is the comedy show which is of Akashiya Sanma.

Of course I saw Akashiya Sanma. Also the guest of the show were Jero and Jarism.

Jero is a singer who is an african american. He is very famous for Enka now.

Jarism is the combi of comedian who is famous for the counting funny.

The studio was very cold. Many people were working hard and akways running, so they are hot. But we are just sitting though we were really cold....

Anyway I had fun this show.

I really felt that the peple who is in TV are very thin LOL

I recommend you to go to TV studio to watch shows someday!! Its FUN!!

Love Natto

I always eat Natto-Rice or Kimuchi-Rice for dinner.

I dont know why I like them so much. I can not stop buying them, because they both are cheap and taste good.

I put Kimuchi and Natto in Curry sometimes. I recomend it to anybody, but nobody try it.

Please try it!

Also I put Natto in Pasta!! I found it lately, but its GOOD!

Tomato-Meat sause with Natto is my favorite!


BUT

WikiTravel

BUY
There are many department stores, Isetan, Takashimaya, Lumine, Granduo, and so on. They all are popular Japanese shopping department stores. Lumine is very popular for teenagers. Takashimaya and Isetan are famous department stores in Japan, so it might have shop clerks who can speak English or other languages. Most department stores have some café or restaurants, so you can rest while shopping.

DO
There are movie theaters near the station. They both are busy on weekends.

This mall is baysaide, so I could smell ocean and feel wet wind.
There are many shops which I love. I and my friend had fun own shopping, and bought many stuffs we wanted.
Also most of stuffs are very cheap! I got a cute bath mat for only 800 yen.
Becouse of the wether, there were not so many people. We can enjoy the concert or paformance show at ther for free! the places for kids were nice.
I want to go there with my kids in the future!
I and my friend had Sushi for dinner and watched comedy show at my house.

After I had fun, I am really ready for the test LOL

Sick

I got sick last week.

I had very high fever and stomachache.
I went to the hostpital which is in Ryokuen-Toshi. the doctor said the throat to lung and stomach are broken.I could not go to school much last week,so I felt alone in my house. I could not bear the loneliness, so I went to my parents' house in Tokyo.Fortunately, the day I went back there was my dad's birthday. I was almost forgetting about it LOL Even though I had sick, we could have nice time together.

Cairo, Egipt

In Cairo, we can buy many gifts which are handmades. There are many historical shop and buildings. Very Cool.

My Dream

I want to be a English teacher in the future. Now, I am taking classes for being English teacher with 16 peers.

I went to Okadu Jr. High School last week with peers in Kyoshoku class for leaning how to teach English to students. Many kinds of students were in one class, so it might be difficult for teacher.

In English class, they sing, read, and play games. The teacher is always smiling and trying students to have fun to touch with English. Also there was a teacher who was an English native speaker. Because of him, students looked fun to study English more.

I learned many things in this experience.

Now, I want to be a teacher more and more!!

Movie Project on the IMDb.com

I wrote about the movie "Les Miserables."
Here is URL of my user comment. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119683/usercomments-167

Les Miserables is the best movie for me!

Andes

I am going to go to Peru, the South America.

The reasons why I want to go there are that I want to see Andes, and I am interested in the plants of there. Also I love Latin Music, and clothes of them.
Maybe I should go there in September, so flight ticket will be cheaper than other season I have enough time to travel.
I prefer to go travel by my self, because I do not want someone to disturb my precious travel memory.

I will leave Narita on September 1ｓｔ. The flight time is 4:oopm.
Firstable I will go to L.A. and transfer to Lima. I will stay L.A. for 3 hours.
I will arrive Lima at 11:55pm at last. I use the American Airlines.

I will return to Tokyo(Narita) from Lima on September 16th.
My flight time is 11:50pm. This time I will stay New York for 3 hours to wait the flight for Narita. Again, I use the American Airlines.

The cost of both flights is $1590. I am a little bit worried, because it is fairy cheap.


I chose the hostel named Home Peru which is very cheap hostel in Lima.
Actually it is colonial mantion with a well maintained garden. It is also in a good area of Lima.
The good point of this hostel is the staffs can speak English. Also there is a small library there, its very nice and neat.
There are air conditioning,Colour TV,Iron and ironing board,Mini bar and Telephone in each guest room.
It costs $210 for 14 days stay. I do not have enough money to stay a great hotel, so I think it is OK for me.

The sightseeing spots I want to go are Iglesia de San Fransisco and　Pachacamac.

Iglesia de San Francisco is the church of the Spain baroque in Lima. In 1574, the tower of two bell towers which is 40m in height stands in the front.There is catacomb that 70,000 ashes are unexploited underground.

Pachacamac is the remains of the pre-Incaic civilization times in Lima.
It is built the seventh century, and it is said when destroyed by the Spaniard whom Incaic civilization invaded in conquest in the 15th century.

We can also enjoy the food there. Here are some examples.

Papa a la huanca na is sprinkled yellow cream sauce to the potato which sliced slightly into thick pieces. It taste simple, but very popular meal.

Cebiche is the meal of an onion, a sweet potato, a white fish, a cuttlefish, a kite, a lobster. Add all of them with dressing and lemon juice. It come out in one dish.

Encocado de mariscos is the meal of coconut milk and seafood. It is not dessert. it often come out in the husk of the coconut. I love coconuts! I should try it.

Picarones is the meal which sprinkled syrup to churros. It taste unique and is popular as dessert. sound nice for me.

Inca Kola is a Peruvian national soft drink. Also we can have it at McDonald there. However it does not taste like Coca-Cola. The color is yellow. Very Intersting!!

I can enjoy sightseeing by Bus, because there are not many trains. Also Taxi is a little bit dangerous for travelers.

OZE

I went to Oze from yesterday, and came back Yokohama just now. Oze is famous for keeping nature in Japan. I went there with people who live in Ryokuen-toshi and are interested in preserving the nature.

We walk in the nature and climb the mountain for 6 hours for 2 days. We woke up at 5:00am and started walking at 7:ooam today. The total distance we walked are 17 km. My legs and toes are hurting still, but I had great time at there. The air was fresh, and many kinds of flowers were very pretty.

In Oze, there are no car and trash can for nature. It was the most interesting thing that the men group called BOKKA-SAN carry over 100kg of foods for each man to log-houses in deep nature. (they walk about 10 hours a day)

I met them couple times,but they never even look at us. It is taboo thing what we talk to them because they are too hard to say even just "hello" to us.

I can not believe that I walked so long distance, because I hate walking or any sports. of course the walking in Oze made me tired, but satisfied.
I recommend you to go there, and feel real nature of Japan.

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

One movie I want to see isHow to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Here is some reviews:

markandbeck from Mid America:"It is a piece of fluff romantic comedy familiar to viewers of old movies. The writing was occasionally witty, often funny, and sometime knee-slappingly hilarious, without degenerating into the completely silly."

Denny (season-4) from Mid America:"OK, to be honest i didn't expect much out of this movie,being a romantic comedy and all,but in the end i actually liked it, yes it's a chick flick ,and yes some things in it wouldn't really happen in reality,and the movie being so sweet and funny,the ending could have been a little better,but hey,these kind of movies always have something that we would like to be different,all in all i actually liked it,and enjoy watching it over and over again...

livingdeadgirl_13 from vancouver:" I thought this was a funny and charming romantic comedy. The lovely Kate Hudson gives a great performance, she was absolutely hilarious!



Based on the review, I want to see the movie even more! They says it is funny love comedy, and it sound like we will want to watch it many times. The only bad thing is that they says the ending is not in realistic at times. I guess it is good for especially women to watch from reading their reviws.
