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.
