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.
