Countries I 'd like to visit.

▲Gaspard et Lisa


Before, I've written like this topic, so today I'll write about another country where I want to visit.

Eiffel Tower, Grand Louvre, Palace of Versailles, and so on... In France, there are many famous spots which attract visitors. Though not only France but also other countries have historical famous spots, I have mainly 2 reasons to want to visit France.

First, I study French as second language at Univ., so I want to use it in practice. If I can visit there, I'll face difficulties of communication. Then I want to study French more. The feelings will help improving my French ability.

Second, I like a French character, Gaspard et Lisa. They are very cute. My passcase, my datebook, my keychain, my memo, etc are Gaspard et Lisa. Although they looks like rabbits, they are explained in their books that they are neither rabbits nor dogs but residents in Paris. I want to go their birthplace, so I want to go to France.

I wish I could visit France because of above the reason when I study abroad in Norway.

Blogging Homework #3: The Impact of Media on Your Life

I was very impressed from a TV program, itte Q. I've been interested in foreign cultures since I was 10 years old when I began to study English. Moreover, many foreign people live in my city because Kansai foreign university is near my house, which attracted my curiosity to foreign cultures.

Itte Q is my favorite TV program. It shows us many interesting cultures from well-known big cities' like Italian food: spagetti and a waterfall between America and Canada: Niagara fall to very small tribes' that we've never heard like skeltonman in Paoua New Guinea. The TV program itself is also interesting. The more I watch it, the more I want to know more different cultures.

Like this I was influenced and I entered this university, SIS! If I hadn't watched this TV program, I wouldn't have entered this university. I like SIS very much! I do owe Itte Q!!!

Defferences between Taiwan & Japan

Last summer, I went to Malaysia and Taiwan with my basic seminar members, and it was so exiting and interesting for me. (If you want to know about it, please find out the blog pages last summer.) During our traveling, in especially Taiwan, I realised two interesting differences between Taiwan and Japan.

First, there are a lot of motorbikes in Taiwan. Taiwanese often uses motorbikes, while Japanese uses cars rather than motorbikes. Moreover, a Japanese famous maker, Yamaha, produced motorbikes under (maybe) 550cc only in Taiwan! We went the factories in Taiwan and could see the process how to make them! So, we can say Taiwan has the culture of motorbikes.

The second difference was found in the bathroom! They don't flush the toilet with their used paper. They threw away it in the garbage can. The reason why Taiwanese do like that is the paper isn't enough thin to flush like Japanese paper. After I listened to the reason, I convinced.

Like this, differences among different cultures are very interesting for me. I like to know other cultures and to meet people. That was one of the reasons that I decided to enter SIS^^
