My Destination in the future

    Today, I introduce about the place I want to travel someday, because this time is  my last blog!!  I have ever written many places where I visited, and I came up with the idea that I explain about my destination in the future.  However I have a lot of countries I want to go and I was troubled by deciding the place.  After that, I was reminded of my mother's saying what she wanted to travel Singapore.  Therefore I write about Singapore for some reasons, so I show you the reason later.

Singapore is a small country that is near Maleysia, but it has a lot of appeales for sightseeing because there are  many interesting building and amazing culture.  Suprisingly, one of the Singapore's cities is the fourth highest popular one among visitors all over the world!  Recently, some famous hotels,
restaurants, and amusement parks built, and many tourists have came and enjoyed.  The most famous sightseeing spot is a status of merlion, but it is becoming popular spot is "Marine Bay Sans"which is a big and gorgeous hotel.  My mother really wants to go and stay there with my family.  In addition, 3 cultures are mixing together in Singapore like English, Indian, Chinese culutures, so tourists can not be bored to stay!  Moreover, we can see many colorful views bacause there are a various of flowers and plamts in town, so it is said that Singapore is a garden city.  That is why Singapore is very popular among visitors in the world.

  Finally, I show the reasons why I chose the country to write on blog.  My major reason is that I want to repay my family for their kindness, and I would like to take them traveling Singapore someday because my parents gave me a lot of opportunities to experience of oversea.  Therefore, one of my dreams is that I will be able to speak English well and take my family traveling Singapore in the future!!  I must study English hard to achieve the goal. 
Thank you for reading!!

Kualoa Ranch

Hello!  Before I start writing, I have a question for you.  Do you loke watching movies?  What movies do you like?  I like to watch movies and I have ever watched many movies.  Among of that, my favorite movie is "Jurassic Park"!   A lot of dinasours are showed in the movie and they look like reality, so I am amazed and excited whenever I watch it.  Like me, this movie is very famous for people and popular among children especially. 

 

Therefore, today I introduce about the place that has strong relationship with "Jurassic Park".   The place is kualoa ranch in Hawaii!  There are huge grounds, beach, valley and mountains, so we can feel amazing nature.  Moreover, we can enjoy a variety of activities like BBQ, riding a horse, some marine sports.  Most popular activity is a bus tour that we can see the location of some movies.  The place have used for filming a lot of movies besides "Jurassic Park" like "Godzila" and "Lost" because of the rich of beautiful nature.  I felt like being in the movie and I imagined some dinasours appeared. 

Another reason that it is popular to visit kualoa is we can know a myth and tradition of Hawaii.  One of that activities is learning the hula, a traditional dance in Hawaii.  We must relax dancing the hula in spiritual atmosphere. I really wanted to learn it but I coud not do because I had no extra time. If I went there again, I must have experoenced it.

 

The most unique point of activities is we can learn the culture, importance of nature, history of movies through enjoying activities.  That is why visiting kualoa is popular for people around the world. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

School Trip In Hokkaido

    Recently I met my close friend in high school and we talked about our memory of school trip, so I am going to write my school trip in Hokkaido!  I visited there in June and had stayed for a week.  I was so excited because I was happy to travel with my friend for such a long time. 

 

I experienced to stay in local people's house which had own farm exept staying hotel.  The family I stayed with had a large farm which some vegetables were planted at, so I and friends helped their works especially weeding.  In addition, I enjoyed the nature which we rarely experienced and took many pictures.  One of things I was surprised at was the scenery around the house. There was only paddy fields and the houses of neighbors ware so far from the house.  It was easy for us to take this picture because no cars run around there.

 

 

 

Moreover, we went to some sightseeing spot like Asahiyama zoo and a pasture.  The most memorable spot is a sweets factory which a famous sweet and souvenir, Shiroi koiboto, are produced at.  The factory was very big and had a colorful garden and objects, so I felt like being in the sweets land!  

 

After looking in the factory, we went to buy a lovely souvenirs.  There were a lot of kinds of presents and sweets, so I could not choose one easily.  In the end, I bought an ornament which made from only sugar.  This picture is a various kinds of sugarcrafts.

 

In short, the memory of schooltrip is priceless and I will never forget it!

 

 

 

 



Living In NZ

 

   Today, I do not tell you about just traveling, but I descrive how to live a daily life in New Zealand! Why do you think I know that?  In fact, I experienced to live in NZ to study English for 3weeks, so I know how the local people live.  To live there is so different from our life in Japan.  There are a lot of differences between them, so I choose a point from them.

 

   First of all, people in NZ spend relaxing time, and enjoy staying with great nature.  There are many places which we can relax there especially the sea!  In my experience, the house I stayed in NZ is rural area, so the atmosphere around it is so freely and peaceful.  I and my hostfamily went to the sea by their car in the weekend, and enjoy walking the seashore, looking for well-formed shells and so on.  I really wanted to swim in the beautiful sea, but I coud not do so because I was in NZ in winter season!  However, I spent a great time there with my hostfamily.  In addition, I saw many local people spend relax time at the beach.  

 



 

The town which is near my hosthouse also made me feel comfortable because the clerk and people lived there were so friendly.  When I was in trouble, people around me helped every time.  For example, when I lost my way to home and mistook the bus, the bus driver have showed me how to go to my house.  Thanks to him, I could come home without any troubles!  Therefore, people in NZ are so friendly and kind. 

 

 

     Finally, people in NZ can use own time effectively and they usually do not rush the time.  I think Japanese people tend to rush to do in daily lives, so they should learn the idea.

Sightseeing In SAN FRANCISCO

    Hello!!  Today I introduce about traveling in San Francisco, in the USA.  I guess you do not know about San Francisco well, so I write it in detail and want you to feel like being there.  Especially, I tell about interesting sightseeing.  What do you imagine the most famous building is in San Francisco?  In fact, there are a plenty of sightseeing spots and famous buildings, so I chose some spots from those.

   First of all, I write about the big market in San Francisco, fishermans wharf.  There are a lot of shops and big market there, and a various kinds of fresh fish and sea foods sells.  We can see rare sea foods too, so it is exiting area for us especially one who like fish.  Among them, I recommend you strongly to eat clam chowder!  It is famous for fishermans wharf there, and many people come and eat it.  The clam chowder is different from others!  It is in the bread, in the other word , the bread is a container. The soup is in a lot of shellfishes, and it is a stlong flavor.  In addition, there are mant souvenir shops, so we can enjoy shopping too.

 

 

Secondly, I descrive the suspension bridge which the most famous in the USA, Golden Gate Bridge!  The bridge was completed in 1937, and it is a bridge build over the Golden straits where San Fransisco Bay and the pacific connect with.  What I want to tell is the activity there, we can enjoy cycling throgh the bridge.  Of course, we can go across it by cars, but that is not as rare experience as the cycling.  My family experienced to go across the bridge by bike, so we felt good because it blowed salty wind.  As you see the picture, there were wrapped in fog and you can understand how high was the bridge.  I felt like it was so long to go across Golden Gate  Bridge by bike, but I was not so tired.  I recommend you to pass throgh it by bicycle because it is a rare experoence.

 

 

 

   Finally, there are a lot of sightseeing spots.  If you have any interesting in San Francisco, please ask me someting!  Thank you.

 

 

Okinawa



 



   It is going to be summer!  I felt tired because of hot lately, but I am looking foreward to coming this summer vacation.  What do you associate with summer vacation?  I think most people imagine swimming in the sea or pool, eating a shaved ice and seeing hanabi.  Today, I write about how to enjoy summer vacation in Okinawa. 

 

  First, if you want to relax from the bottom of your heart, I recommend you to go out freely and feel relax atmosphere in Okinawa.  Its mood is not different compretely from city's one.  We can feel the time moves slowly and release from our daily life which has various stress.  Also, I recommend to lie on warm sand and swim in the beautiful sea.  I think the sea in Okinawa is as beautiful as one in Hawaii, and it is more safer than the sea in another country because the one in another country put some gulasses on sand or in the sea. 

 

 

 

  In addition, you can walk in Shuri castle which is famous for Okinawa.  As you walk to the castle through the gate of castle, you can feel Okinawa's history.  The roof and wall of castle is painted brightly red, so it is very beautiful and graceful.  Its decoration is also good and gorgeous, and it is definitely different from other Japanese catsle.  In addition, if you want to feel and know Okinawa's culture deeply, I recommend you try to wear a traditional clothes.  It is used some brightly beautiful colors.  When I traveled to Okinawa, I experienced wearing it.   

  This is the gate of Shuri castle.

      Also, this is the Shuri castle.

 

 

  Second, there are a plenty of unique food, and it is really surprising thing!  The thing that I was the most surprised at is a habu snake liquor.  I have never seen it before, I was so surprosed at and curious about it.  Also, I was imagined how the liquor tastes.  When I found it, I was too young to drink it, so I want to do in the future.  Moreover, please tell me about the taste if you have an oppotunity to drink it.

 

 

 

Also, I think many people would like to eat "kakigoori" in summer.  In Japan, there are a lot of flavours of it like strawberry, lemon, brue hawaii and mizore.  However, I found the kakigoori with mango!  I was so happy to eat it because I love mango very much!  The shaved ice was used many mango and the ice was tasted softly.  Except mango kakigori, I ate another one which flavour is dragon fruite.  I recommend you eat some flavour of shaved ice with friends or famiry.   

   Finally, Okinawa is the best place to relax and relive from stress.  If you have any interesting, please ask me!  Thank you.

The Famous city in China

    Today, I write about the famous city, Shanghai, in China.  I visited there with my family and grand parents seven years ago.  I had never found the interesting culture and food in Shanghai before. Therefore, I introduce you about that and my memory in Shanghai.

   

     First, I write the history and culture simply.  Shanghai is the biggest city and has the largest population in China.  Also it is the center of Chinese industry, money market, and traffic, so many people in the world go over or live on business. There are a lot of foreign affiliated companies and restaurant like UNIQLO.  Recently the buildings are sharply developing and taller than ever.  However, a lot of traditional buildings remains, so visitor can enjoy seeing and feeling traditional Chinese culture.

 

 

    Secondly, I show my interesting memories.  My family visited there in winter, so we felt so cold.

Moreover, I coud not see more clearly scenery than I had expected because of fog.  However many visitor came to the spot that we can see the beautiful view, so it was crowded and lively there.  There are a lot of high buildings, and I thought one of that is more higher than buildings in Tokyo.  I enjoyed shopping and having some delicious sweets at the wide street.  I found there were various kind of shops there like old traditional ones and newly foreign affiliated ones.  I ate a Chinese famous sweet, egg tart.  This sweet is popular among young women and made from much castard.  It tastes so good, so I recommend to eat it if you visit in China. 

What do you thing is the most pupular food in Shanghai?  Maybe most people guess it is Shanghai club, off course I ate it!  Shanghai club is so small comparing Japanese ones, but it contains much rich delicious club viscera(miso).  This picture is Shanghai club and shouronpou which is popular food too. 

 

I went to the traditional buildings for sightseeing the next day.  Its atmosphere is completly different from modern street I went through the day before.  The traditional buildings have meticulous decolations, so I could feel as if I was in the past Chinese era.  At that place, I purchased some souvenirs for friends.  They were bracelets and pen cases wich made from Chinese traditional materials. 

 



After that, my family enjoyed drinking Chinese tea in the old traditional garden.  It similared to Japanese one, so we relaxed there.  I was so surprised to the tea because one of that was the small flower bloomed in the pot.  It was very beautiful and amazing.  Also, we had various kind of tea that is not familiar in Japan.  

 

    Finally, Shanghai is great city that has two aspects, modern and traditional mood.  Therefore, the visitors can enjoy and feel two cultures!  I hope you had more interested in Shanghai after you read my blog!!

Thank you.

 

 

 

 



Beautiful nature in Wakayama

 

  Today, I write about my family's traveling in Wakayama. We went to Shirahama in March and stayed for three days. I came in contact with beautiful nature and a lot of animals.

 

  First of all, I tell you about beautiful scenery there. We visited to Sandanheki and Senjoujiki to see the wonderful view. Both were created by nature and the shape also created by natural forces.

Sandanheki is cliffs of 50m in height to tower over the shore. I have not seen the view from such a high cliff before. Due to that, I was so fear to look down but I experienced the natural power.

Senjoujiki is large bedrock harking back to large layers of rock. The origine of name comes from a meaning of the size as we can substract 1000 pieces of tatami mats. Thus I could walk on the rocks.

This picture is the beautiful ocean I looked out over from there.

                                                               

Second, I introduce some lovely animals and my experiences. My family visited to Adventure world too. That place has a big zoo and some amusement park rides. That is famous for touching and feeding animals easily. There are many kinds of animals. I think the most popular animal is pandas.

When I looked at a panda, it was warm day. They looked sleepy and relaxed lying on the ground.

It was so cute that visiter took a lot of pictures. Also I was surprised that pandas ate a hard bamboo easily.

We feeded some animals around the park. Especially my impressive animal is a giraffe. Because I fed it for the first time. Do you know the colour of its tongue? Its tongue is purple and so long. I touched it and felt sticky and warm. I was able to touch and feed many animals.
Moreover, I saw a white bear's baby. It was so small and lovely action. It looked like exactly a stuffed toy.

Finally, I enjoyed having local and unique food. The most unique food I thought was an ice cream fravoured umeboshi. I knew it was famous in Wakayama but I first found it. It tastes very interesting for me. I guess if you don't like sweet, you can enjoy eating it.

There are a lot of great scenery and sightseeing in Wakayama. I also recommend to visit there for who like animals and nature.
Thank you!

Graduation trip

Today I tell you about graduation trip with my friends. We visited to Ise ,in Mie prefecture by bus two months ago.
We stayed a ryokan for two days. Unfortunately, the first day was rainy day but we enjoyed traveling.

The first destination was Ise shurine and Okage Yokocho. Ise shurine is a popular tourist spot in Mie.
Also it has been designated as a national treasure and a important cultural heritage. So, many people from various places visit there. When we arrived there, it was very crowded.
And we had a lunch at Okage Yokocho. It is a lot of shops and food stands. And it is the sightseeing spot which reproduced old cityscape. Therefore we can taste an atnosphere of the Edo era and the Meiji era. We tasted some local specialities.
After that, we found this figure while shopping. It looks just pretty ornament of dog but it is in a fortune-telling slip.

In that evening, we enjoyed taking a hot spring , talking about memories from our high school.


The next day, we visited to Sima Marineland. It is small aquarium and famous for sunfishes.
In addition, we could touch a penguin. Its feather is not soft. A caretaker said that it was all right even if we touched it because the penguin took to a person.

 That day, we ate Ise udon for lunch. Unlike other udon, we eat with salty-sweet sauce. And it has good smoothness, soft and sticky. That tastes so good.
I want to eat it again when I go to Ise.

 

So my graduation trip was so fun and memorable!
I want to travel other places with my friends when I am in college.
Thank you,

 

Hawaii

I love traveling in another country. Among these countries, I like to go to Hawaii especially!
When I was there, I can so relax and spend happier time.
So, I am going to introduce some attractions in Hawaii with my experiences.

First, I show some exciting activities.
There are a lot of activities in Hawaii, snorkeling, watching stars and riding a horse.
So, I recommend you to watch stars and snorke especially.
I went to Mt.Mauna Kea to see the star. In this picture, there are an astronomical observatory and cloud sea. A Japanese observatory founded the facility and installed it abroad.
And we can see much sea of clouds when we reached the top of the mountain. That scene was beyond expression and probably cheered us up.
Of course, we can see a lot of beautiful stars in night. If you're lucky, you might be able to see the Saturn.

Also,I recommend to snorkel and swim in the sea.
There are many kind of fishes and sea animals in Hawaii. So,we can see dolphins, sea turtles and fishes which live only in Hawaii while swimming.
But don't touch that wild animals! It is illegal to touch turtles. And some wild fishes have strong poison.

Second, I talk about popular Hawaiian food.
There is a lot of Hawaiian food which is popular in Japan like pancakes. But I tell you about Hawaiian shaved ice. Shaved ice means "kakigoori" in Japanese.  Unlike Japanese ones, Hawaiian 's ones are big and many kinds of syrup. In this picture, the syrups are guava, mango, and passionfruit.
So, I recommend you to choose some syrups and make your original shaved ice.

Finally, I hope you are interested in Hawaii after you read my blog.
 Hawaii is wonderful and cheerful place for me.
Thank you!!
