Happy New Year!

My favorite holiday is New Year's Day. Because I can meet many relative and get some money. Probably many Japanese like this holiday. In Japan, most parents and adults have to give money for children. This habit is called "Otoshidama". I'll get some money until get job. Instead of, I'll have to give it for the future. OMG! Moreover, we eat "Osechi". Many dishes include this. Also we eat "Ozo-ni". This is kind of soup with mochi. Have you ever eaten mochi? I like it. It's hard and stretchy. After eat these dishes, generally we go to shrine and wish for new year's happiness. And back to home, we read New Year's card. This is a letter for New Year's greeting. All these habits are traditional. The holiday is busy but enjoy. I look forward to spending the holiday with my family after back to Japan.

Strange Wedding Tradition

Today, I'll introduce about Malaysia marriage tradition. A native in Malaysia, the bride and groom must not go to the toilet  for 3 days since wedding! According to the legend, if they go to the toilet, they can't have child or misfortune for their child. That's why their relative watching the bride and groom for not to go to the toilet. It is really strange and hard. I can't it absolutely. The more patient to go to it, the more unhealthy to their. Perhaps they can't have child. I don't understand why they are doing the custom. In paticular, brides and grooms are more happier for 3 days since wedding. If you must do such as this marriage tradition, can you do?

Gossip Girl

Hi! Today I recommend to my favorite American drama, "Gossip Girl". Probably almost everyone know this. Have you ever watched it before? The genre is complicated rommance. They usually change girl or boyfrend. If you like thrilling and stimulating rommance drama, I want to you watch this. I was impressed with this drama for the first time to watch because their life and fashion are so cool and luxurious. The story is about high school student's life, but they're not common students. They are really rich. The location is Manhattan, NY. And main characters are 7 boys and girls. Guys are sexy and hot! Their cloths and bags are all high brand-name. I'm very exciting to just looking. Also their life is scandalous, it is impossible to real our high school life. That's why we're thrilling to this drama. Fashion, Rommance, Celebrity... Every women yearning to this drama's life. Of course me too. If you watch just episode 1, you probably want to watch more episode quickly! However, maybe men boring to this drama because men prefer action, SF dramas to rommance...but it's really interesting!

Awesome Kyoto

If you come to Japan, I recommend to visit Kyoto. Kyoto is traditional city, so there is a lot of temple and shrine. You can relax and get power. And on the way to temple, there are many shops like souvenir, Japanese food, and desert. In particular, Kyoto is famous to "Maccha" (green tea). I love this. You have to try. Also Kyoto has very beautiful nature. You can see cherry blossom in spring and turn red in fall. All seasons are light up at night. In addition, if you are women, you can experience to "Maiko-san". This is not personal name. Maiko-san is professional entertainers like traditional music and dance. Their face is white and wearing kimono. So beautiful. Moreover, Kyoto is very useful to traffic. It is easy to go to many popular spot for tourism. If  you want to shopping, you can go many shop and department store by only 40 minutes. And Kyoto is near to Osaka, so you can go to Osaka by 30-50 minutes. Osaka has Universal Studio Japan, a lot of cheap cloth and electric appliance store. (but always very busy..) I can't write all good point to Kyoto. I wanna go there when I writing this blog!

Languages

I'd like to learn Chinese. Because China ia rapidly growing economics, and in Japan is increase to Chinese visitor. Almost people in a famous city in Osaka are Chinese recently. Chinese people always shopping in high-bland shops at department store. Also they are often come to my part-time job's shop, so I want to speak Chinese a little. A current Japanese economics is moved by Chinese people I think. So if I can speak Chinese, it'll help to my job in the future. Not Asia people maybe thinking that Chinese and Japanese is not so much difference, actually it is a lot of differences. Exactly, it is little easy to read Chinese because both languages use "kanji", but pronunciation  is difficult. Of course, the best way is speak English. And if I can speak English and Chinese, it is very useful and wide a view in the future. But I wanna learn more to Korian (because I usually watch Korian drama) , Indonesia (because my father's business in there and he can speak Indonesia) and Spanish (because many ESL foreign people speak Spanish). After back to Japan, I'll want to study not only English, but also Chinese.

Dream Jambo

If I get $10 million, umm... I wanna do something. First, I give each quarter for my parents. I always grateful to them because I've doing everything which I want to do until now. Thanks to my parents, I can live without inconvenience. So I want to return a favor. The rest of $ 5 million, I use. I want to go travel for Europe, LA, Dubai, and Maldives. Of course I fly by first class. Maldives is famous to very beautiful beach. I wanna go with my boufriend<3 It's so sweet. (I haven't boyfriend now..;) Also I want to buy many brand-name bags, clotes, and accessory like celebs using. After back to Japan, I want to go to space. I watch the Earth and find alien, then I want to talk my friends. And I want to suck fat from my body. lol I wanna slim without on a diet. Oh, I lack money. But if I can date with Cristiano Ronaldo, I will pay him all money...

Your country is safe..?

I think Canada is safe country including Calgary. My hostmother said to me, "Some areas are little unsafety, but Calgary is safer than other cities. No ploblem to walking at night." I saw violence and a drug addict at once in Calgary, but it is common in foreign country I think. Two weeks ago, I went to China town in downtown, Vancouver. This area is famous to unsafety. Many homeless stayed there, and sometimes they attacked to visitor, buses, and cars. There always smell drugs. I experienced it for the first time, so scared. I image that US, South America, Middle Eastern are dangerous for life, and Europe, Asia aren't safe in public (e.x. steal money). Compare to these countries, Japan is safe. But recently, it getting increase to murder in Japan. My parents usually pick me up if I late to go home. Also my mother suffered from stalker when she was younger, so dosen't permit to I live alone. Japan is by no means to safe country than past. Almost countris are not safety completely, that's why we have to do careful anytime, anywhere.
