Tenjin Festival

I'm talking about Tenjin festival. It take place in Osaka. It's called one of the Osaka 3 major festival. The festival starts end of June, and finishes end of July. During the festival, there are many events, such as Dragon boat race, Mikoshi and fireworks. Dragon boat race is one of the popular events. People ride a dragon boat that about 30 people can ride. Then several teams compete who is the fastest. Also, Mikoshi is famous. Mikoshi is things like houses for people to carry God(photo below). Finally, there is fireworks. It's very beautiful. Every year, many people come to the festival to watch the fireworks.

Swedish Wedding

I'm talking about Swedish wedding. Some part of Swedish wedding are diffferent from Japanese wedding. Swedish wedding have two parts, wedding and wedding ceremony. After groom's speech, all of people, include groom, bride and attendees, start dancing. They enjoy dancing until ending wedding ceremony. It's so long time. Also, if groom leave the seat while leaving the bride. Every attendees can kiss his bride. I think it's so interesting and sometimes dangerous. Finally, spouse open the every gifts. Attendees usually give some gifts, but they don't give money. The gifts are many kinds such as flower, picture, food...and so on! I think Swedish wedding is great, if I get married with   Swedish, please do not kiss my bride.

Comedy Show in Japan

A lot of Japanese people like to watch comedy TV show. We can watch many comedy shows every night. There are many kinds. Such as comedian battle. Comedy is one of the most popular Japanese culture. When we see comedy shows, we can become happy. I have watched them since I was elementary school student. When I come back to Japan, I will watch them every night. Especially, during the long vacation, such as summer vacation or New year vacation, there are a lot of special comedy shows. I usually watch comedy shows with my friends in New year day! I'm looking forward to watching these TV shows in this New year vacation.

Whale Watching

My home town has a great tour. It's called "Whale Watching." You can see whale and dolphin. My home town is on the south side of Osaka. There is beautiful sea. You can join this tour between April and September every year. This tour starts in the early morning, and you ride on boat. When traveling by boat for about 2 hours. You can see whale and dolphin. Whale and dolphin can be seen nearby. You will be excited and impressed. Up to 30 people can participate in this tour. The tour cost is $70. I think it's so cheap!! So I recommend you to go to this tour.

Dog or Cat

Dog and Cat are very popular pets. I think dog is more better than cat. First, unlike cat, dog is very friendly. We can play with dog in outside, but cat is more independently than dog. I don't understand cat is always thinking. Another reason, dog is more smart than cat. For example, dog often help us to do something. Guide dog and assistance dog are good example. Also, dog follows what we say. So, we can communicate with dog easily.

Want to Learn

I want to learn Chinese. Every year,  a lot of Chinese people travel to Japan. Especially, they often come to Osaka. When I was in Japan, I live in Osaka. Actually, I often see Chinese near my home. Almost Chinese tourists have a big group, they walk around with a lot of people. They enjoy taking a picture or eating dinner in Japanese restaurant or bar. I have a part-time job. I work on Japanese bar. When I work on there, Chinese tourists come to my bar to eat and drink. Then, they order some foods  and drinks in Chinese. I can't understand Chinese. I try to talk with them in English. But, they can't speak English. It's difficult to communicate with Chinese. So I want to learn Chinese to communicate with them when I work on bar. If you know Chinese, please teach me!

Various Uses

If I get $10 million, I want to spend a lot of things! First, I should pay tuition fee and refund scholarship. Now, I borrow much money to take university classes. So I want to spend money for my university. After that, I will start shopping!!! I want to buy a lot. Especially, I want to buy a car. I don't have my car. If I can get a car, I can go everywhere. I want to go to travel around Japan by car. And I want to buy some clothes. I like to go shopping. When I'm in japan, I go shopping about twice for a week. I like to correct some shoes. Also, I think Calgary is good place to buy clothes. Because tax is so cheap and There are some different store from Japan. I like to go to the "Chinook Centre" and "Cross Iron Mills." I often go there and buy some clothes. Please tell me good shopping places if you know somewhere

Crime In Osaka

I have never seen the crime. But I live in Osaka. Osaka often happens some crimes. I watch the news, I hear bad news that it happen in Osaka. A lot of people live in there. So I think the crime often happens. Especially, It happens that the con-man call elder people, and he says,"Your son has big accident now, you have to sent much money for my bank! The con-man tell a story of lie. And he try to get money from elder people. Why their target is elder people? Because it is easy for the con-man to cheat elder people. And elder people believe that he talks story of lie. In the past, many people was cheated by the con-man. Now the number of damages are decreasing. Because some TV programs or commercials are often calling for attention. I hope the crime doesn't happen forever...

Favorite Sports

My favorite sport is baseball. I am member of university baseball team. When I was in Japan, I play baseball twice a week. My position is Pitcher. Pitcher is the most important position in baseball. I think pitcher is so exiting position! Because I can fight to batter. I feel a lot of pressure. But when I get struck out, win a match to a batter, my feeling is so exited. I like this feelings! I have played baseball since I was 10 years old. I like to watch the baseball game too. I want to watch the major league baseball game when I live in Calgary. Let's go watching the baseball game with me!!!
