The natural haritages of New Zealand and Japan

New Zealand has 3 heritages. First, New Zealand has Te Wahipounamu. Te Wahipounamu is the area of nature and the natural heritage. Te Wahipounamu means the production center of jade in Maoli. Te Wahipounamu has Mt. Cook, and, the shore has Milford Sound. Milford Sound is the fiord. They are very beatiful! Second, New Zealand Sub-Antarctic Islands. New Zealand Sub-Antarctic Islands are the natural heritages, too. There are many animals, especially, there are 126 kind of birds. Entering it is restricted hard to maintain the ecological system. Third, Tongariro National Park. Tongariro National Park is the compound heritage. It has Mt.Ruapehu, Mt. Ngauruhoe, and, Mt. Tongariro. Mt. Tongariro has the lake of the volcano. It is emerald green.
In Japan, there are many heritages. I'm going to introduce 3 heritages in this blog. First, Yaku island. Yaku island is the south island. It is the natural heritage. It has the Yaku cedar. Yaku cedar has been living for 2,000 years. It is longer than ordinary cedars. Yaku island is the area of laying eggs for the carettas. Second, Himeji castle. Himeji castle is the cultural heritage. It is called Hakuro castle, too. THere is it in Hyogo prefecture. It was built before the Edo period, and, it is very the beautiful castle. Third, Horyu temple. Horyu temple is the cultural heritage. There is it in Nara prefecture. It was built in 607. It is divided 2 parts. The West house and the East house. The West house has the gold hall and the five-storied pagoda, and, the east house has the dream hall. Horyu temple is the oldest wooden building around the world.

History of Oktoberfest

I'm going to introduce Oktoberfest' history and Oktoberfest of all over the world. Oktoberfest has long history. In 1810, the first Oktoberfest was held. Oktoberfest is the world’s biggest festival nowadays, but, at first, Oktoberfest was like festivals which are held everywhere, and, Oktoberfest was held for celebrating an alcoholic beverage made by fermentation. In 1910, the hundredth Oktoberfest was held. In that year, beer which was 1,200 kiloliter was drunk, and, the beer hall tent had 12,000 seats. That is the largest tent by now, and, by 1960, Oktoberfest became the world’s biggest festival. People enjoyed every year, but, in 1980, bombs in a garbage can were exploded. That damage was big, and, people felt so sad.

The festival of beer

I introduced Oktoberfest. It is the festival in a state of Bayern, German. This festival is the world’s biggest festival. This festival usually is held from the first Sunday of October. That continued for 16 days. The entrance fee is free. There are many attractions, haunted houses, and, food wagons like yatai in Japan, but, many people comes this festival for beer. Main event in this festival is drinking beer in Bierzelt. Bierzelt is the temporary restaurant which sells beer. In first day, the mayor in Munich opens the first barrel which has beer, and, declares “O’zapft is!” “O’zapft is!” means “There is liquor!” in the dialect in Bayern. This festival is held by this festival. In second day, 8,000 people who wear the ethnic clothes from Bayern walk from Maximilian Street to Oktoberfest. Oktoberfest has long history. In 1810, the first Oktoberfest was held, and, horse racing was held then. In 1910, the hundredth Oktoberfest was held. Beer which is 1,200 kiloliter was drunk, and, the beer hall tent had 12,000 seats. That is largest by now. In 1999, 6,500,000 people visited this festival.

My favorite movies

My Neighbor Totoro

I have liked My Neighbor Totoro since I was a child. When I was a child, I always watched this animation video. The story is warming my heart. Kusakabe family moves to a rural town, and, they live in a haunted house in that town. Satsuki and Mei who are heroin in this movie, meet Totoro. Totoro is a master of the forest. They make friend with Totoro. I like Mei and Totoro best. They are very cute. Especially, I like the scene that Mei meets Totoro in the forest. It is funny for me to they call out “To to ro!“ each other. That is so cute. According to Hayao Miyazaki who directed this animation movie, when they called out to each other, Mei call out “To to ro!”, but, in fact, Totoro doesn’t call out Totoro. Totoro call out “Duo duo vou!”. That means “ I’m sleepy!” in Totoro’s language. She misunderstood. She calls Totoro because she misunderstood Totoro call out “To to ro!”. That is very interesting for me. This is the start that I like Hayao Miyazaki’s animation movies.

Enchanted

This Japanese title is “mahou ni kakerarete”. This movie is Disney’s movie.It was shown in Japan in 2007, and, it was a great hit. It was made of an animation and a picture of an actual event. This is a fairy tale. Giselle lives in the blissful, animated world of Andalasia. She is engaged to Edward in that day when she met him, but, she is expelled from Andalasia to New York where there isn’t everlasting happiness by Nalissa who is a bad witch. In New York, she met Robert who is a lawyer and Morgan who is his daughter, and, she lives with them. I like this movie because music and a picture are very nice. This movie is colorful and character’s clothes are very nice. Especially, Giselle’s clothes is cute like a princess. Music is very cute, too, and, Amy Adams who acts Giselle sings very well. This movie is beautiful like a musical. I like parades in Tokyo Disney Land. This movie is just like it.

Wonderful memories

This summer vacation is very good and interesting for me. I went to Wakayama prefecture to get driver’s license with my friend from August 14 to 28. We went there by train. We had 4 hours. We spent there for 2 weeks. We went to the school at 9 in morning, and we went back our lodging at 10 in night. We drove a car for 3 hours everyday, and we studied about car other time. That is very hard! I guessed that will be hard, but in fact, that is more hard! Why is this summer vacation very good for me? The answer is good friends and good teachers. In Wakayama, I made good friends. They are twins from Nagoya. They are very nice character. In August 24, they and other my friend celebrated my birthday. We went to dinner. I was very fun! Their conversation was funny like manzai (Japanese laughter). Our teachers were funny and very kind, too. Finally, I didn’t want to go back home in last day. I was fun, so, I was sad. That is my best memory in this summer vacation.

COMEDY AND OTHER FUNNY STUFF

High school where we can't laugh

Click on this!

1.High school where we can't laugh


This movie clip is my favorite one. This is TV program.4 Japanese comedians disguise themselves with the school uniforms. And they go to the high school all day. But they can’t laugh there. If they laugh, they are spanked their hips by the staff members of this TV program. This is the iron rule. But there are many funny traps to the stuff laugh the comedians. In this movie clip, they watch the video of English class. In the video, there is a man. He is a Japanese comedian. His name is Jimmy Oonishi. He is very character. In the video, he reads an English textbook. But reading English is very hard for him. So, he reads in halting English. Moreover, his halting English is very funny. Words which he read, means different funny words. He probably didn’t do on purpose. So, people laugh.
