**Horrible Story**

I wonder why the Japanese horror movie is more horribe than the foreign one.

Do you think so??

I can't see the Japane movie alone because it is very reality. It is said that the goast is near us when we are talking the horrible story. It is the famous event during the trip to talk about the horrible story with lying down on the huton. I can enjoy it when they are talking, but I become very fritented when they start to sleep. I never go to the toilet alone.However I can see the foreign horror movie alone, because it is a little man-made.

Do you know the 座敷童??It is a child goast and a good goast. It is the Japanese goast.They believe that if you see it, you can become happy.

Also,there are many ruins buildings in Japan like a hospital. Besides, there are many spirit places at which some pople died. Some people go there in order to test their nerves. A few people can see the goast who can't have died in peace. Sometimes they are possessed by a evil goast.

It is so horrible, isn't it??

I haven't heard of the foreign story like that. There are too many misterious place and phenomenon in Japan, so I feel the Japanese horror movie is do real.

Do you feel the reality in the foreign horror moveie??

**Pride of OSAKA**

Have you been to TOKYO??

My friend went to Tokyo last week. She told me that there were so many people working on the street,and they had very coldherted. I have herd that the peole who live in Tokyo don't want to be concerd in each other. They are own business.

In contrast with Tokyo people, Osaka people are heat warming. They are always talking when they are walking. And they are so humor. 　OSAKA is the birthplace of "お笑い". It makes us happy and smile. We, Osaka people, are always thinking of funny things. And "Osaka direct" match with "ボケ" and "つっこみ" very much. I think that people who have not lived in Osaka can't speak the Osaka direct easly. If they talk the Osaka direct, it is a little different.

In this way, there are many differences even if we live in the same Japan, so that in terms on the world, there must be so many differences from us. Now is the international society, so we need to have the global view. We shoud make the srroundings which foreigners can come to Japan easly.

By the way, the photo is the famous entertainer.

＊All animals are equal＊

The most interesting topic in the class is the whaling.
I think that the whaling is bad,but I rethink it once more after the discussion.

The whale is on the road to extinction.
It is rare to see the whale in the see.

By the way, do you know that we can see the whale and the dolphin in the AUS ocean??
When I was in AUS, my friend went to the whale wathing.
She told me that the whale wathing is so interesting, but there are some regulations.
AUS people are proud of the wild whales.
They think that we must not be permitted for the whale to take the power of live as we like.
They aim at the sustainable tourism.
This is the one of the rules that we can stay near the whale in the maximum 30minute.
These rules are necessary to protect the whale.


However the anti-anti-whaling said that every animal is equal.
Why is the whale particular??
The pork is not also exception.I think deeply.......

I have not found the answer yet.
It is so difficult problem, I think.......

◎Surname◎

　In the class, we discussed our 『surname』. It was interesting for me.
My suename is NAKAMURA,which is normal,so I don't like it so much.



I think that married couples should have the same surname. However it is no need to maintain either of the two. I maen that we can make our own surname with our hasband.
I agree that it makes the sence of unity to have the same surname,but I don't think a family line is necessary for us,because I don't know what is the merit.


In Japan, There is a word that "One's adopted son-in-law."
Is there any words like that in other countries??
I don't know why they call like that,because the family line has nothing todo with the marriage.What's the merit to keep the family line??

If we don't have the same surname, our childlen might be troubled which surname they should use. When we will make our surname, it makes us the new sence of unity.
It is interesting, isn't it??
I am suppose to consider the law once more!!!

How much do you know Japan?

I went to KOYASAN which is the world's cultural and natural heritage.When we went there, it was rain. We were very very cold!

At first, we went to the temple,and then the monk who is a swiss welcomed us.He guided us around the temple and told much imformation about Ko-yasan.

There are a few foreighner monk there. And then he took us to look around near the temple.

He knows the Japanese culture and history much more than us.

It looks strange because we are taught Japanese history by foreghners.

Nowadays Japanese are not interested in Japanse culture,and there are many people who don't know Japan for sure. Is it OK for Japanese future?? It tends to wether our cultures.

Actually.,when I went to Australia, my teacher often asked me about Japan, but I couldn't anser easily.Compare with other countries classmates, they do know their own country and answer easily.I ashamed about that.

It is the cultural difference, isn't it??

I felt many differences in Australia. It is a good experience for me.

◎Iran culture ◎

Now, you know that I studied abroad to Manly,right?? I made a friend who came from Iran. She is one of my classmates.

What do you think about Iran? I associated Iran with a civil war.I don't have much good idea about Iran.However she told me that there was no war in Iran, and Iran is safe now.

I didn't know about that before she told me.

Do you know Iran??

Most of the Iranian are Islam. They have a lot of the religious customs.

For example,they don't have to eat the pork,and women don't show their skin to other people.

Iran is quite different from Japan.

One day, we had the class about the comparative. And then, we joined our hands to practice making the comparative "whose hands are bigger."

Suddenly she, Iranian, said that she couldn't touch boy's hand because she had a husband.

In Iran, the woman who has a husband don't touch other mans.I was surprised!

We don't have the custom like that,so it is difficult for me to understand.

There are a sort of religious customs in the world, so that we should know the manner before you go abroad.Otherwise you might be rude.

◎Korean army system◎

I studied abroad to Manly, Australia in this summer. It is near sydney. I had a very very good time there, and I could make a lot of other countries friends. One of my friends whose name was chun-soo came from Korea. He was so kind. I hard that most of Korean boys are gentleman.
He told me about Korea.Do you know that Korea has the conscription system??
That is the system for all over -twenty mans to serve in the army. They have to stay in the army for 2 years. He said the life in the army was so hard and very strict. He never want to go army any more.

Do you image about the army? We can enter the Ground ,Maritime, Air self-defense force.However it is not complusion. We can decide up on our own minds.When we hear the conscription system, we might image the war period.

Now, we have the right of free, and we can decide anything up on our own minds.
Korea and Japan are much the same, but it is the one of differences between two countries.
