Essay2-04 : Well-Kept Secret of Kumamoto ~How to maintain the amusement park~

Hello, everyone. Today, I am going to tell you about a well-kept secret of Kumamoto. And the secret is "Asian Park" !! Do you know the amusement park? Actually, I didn't know that. This park is now discontinuing operation but it was a once flourishing in the bubble economy. This was in Arao in Kumamoto in from July 21,1993 to August, 2000 and it's near the MitsuiGreen Land. To my surprise, it cost 44 billion yen! There were many theme parks in the bubble economy. The one example is Tokyo Disney Land which is biggest theme park in Japan. Then I thought why amusement park goes to different ways. On the one hand succeed and the other hand sink in the world. That is why I chose this topic.

Asian Park has some attraction such as "Asia cruise"and you can look around the scenery of the small world riding a boat. And the park also has some miniature figures of remains and castle such as the Taj Mahal, Anghor Wat and The Great Wall of China. You can feel Asia in your body. The admission fee was only 600 yen, so it was popular then. There were 10 thousand visitors every month. I've never been there, so I should have been there once.


In conclusion, It was good opportunity t0 know more about Kumamoto. I didn't know about these things although I live in Kumamoto for many years. Actually I want Kumamoto to build more amusement park like Tokyo Disney Land but I think the good point of Kumamoto is grand beautiful nature, so amusement park is unsuitable. However, the Asian Park's idea is nice, so it need more interesting idea which people can enjoy more and feel at home. I think the most important point of prosperity of amusement park is to make frequent visitors.

Kumamoto has great culture, so it can become more interesting region which other prefectures' people visit many times.

I love KUMAMOTO!!!!!

BR2-16: Alice's Adventure in Wonderland

I chose "Alice's Adventure in Wonderland" in this time because this is one of my favorite story. I knew it when I was a child and from Disney's animation "Alice in Wonderland". It's so interesting story because it is not normal story. Alice's wonderland is strange but has a dream because Alice could be bigger and smaller, flowers and cat and rabbit could talk, cards were like human, and so on. There were all her dream, but I thought it was so real.

I always dream and they are all strange story. However I don't think it is strange when I am in my dream. I wonder at I saw these strange dream although I didn't think about these things every day. I think Alice likes daydreaming and she has her own story, and it's also strange and abnormal story. It is great!

I also love the animation, so I gonna watch it again later:)

Essay2-03: Community Life essay ~Emotional Growth~

Hello, everyone. Today, I will tell you about my community life. However, I don't belong to community now, so I will introduce my past community life and that is soft tennis club activity. I have been belonged to a soft tennis club in my junior high school days. My soft tennis club members of our grade were 8 people including me and they were all funny fellows and so precious existences for me. Then I could learn many important things from them and hard trainings. And they are the things that "Don't give up", "Don't lose myself" and "We can do it more than yesterday". Of course I learned more things which I can't explain with my words. However, these experiences trained my mind and I became more stronger, I think.


We had to practice the soft tennis hard every day. It was really hard for me. We had to run in a long distance and say some cheering words in a loud voice while we were training. I felt so tired after the training and had dinner so much. We had to practice under the hot rays of summer and also in the falling snow. I thought I wanted to stop practicing many times in those hard days, but I didn't because I had some valuable fellows of this club. We emulated one another when we felt the training was so hard. They didn't say cheering words but just they practiced hard. It was only action, but it awakened my combative spirit.

There were many coaches in my club not only junior high school teacher but also other old coaches who can play tennis very well. They were strict, but these advices were very important for us. We really needed them. In summer vacation, we had to go training camp for three days and it was so hard training for us. We run from the Hot springs dome (温泉ドーム) to Shichijo(七城) tennis court every day and then started training. It was really hot and I got sunstroke. A boy who belong to boy's soft tennis club was taken to a hospital by ambulance. However, we could build up our tennis techniques then, so it was good experience for us. In the last day, we barbecued and we did fireworks. I felt it was so beautiful then.

I was a sub captain of this club, so I have to support the captain and other members of this club. It needed sense of responsibility. I had to say cheering words more laudly than other members and bring the team together. Sometimes we had a quarrel with juniors of this club and then I had to scolded severely to them although I didn't want to say such strict words. Even so, I had to say that because they were all for our club.

As a conclusion, I feel it was really good experiences for me. Actually, I didn't like to plactice it, but after the all club activity, I could get important things and precious fellows, so it was good that I tried to do it hard. We are best friends and even now we gather and hold a drinking party sometimes and talk some memories of our club. The memories are about 6 years ago, but I can remember them vividly because they are my hard but also the memories of the days when I was more younger and full of energy.

BR2-15: The Motorway

How are you today?
Today is Friday, so I'm happy because it's last day of the hard week.

By the way, I read the book " The Motorway" today and it's Gran's story, my favorite.
This story is related with nature and taught me the importance of nature.


The main character, Gran live in a cottage in a little village and her grandchildren, Chip and Biff really like to play in her garden because it's grand and has a beautiful green nature. I thought that I became want to run in a such grand beautiful grass field. They played a Chinese big dragon kite. But... when the wind blew it away and landed in a tree, a woman who wearing a work dress and has a long pole got the kite down with it and told to Gran a plan of building a motorway in their village.

Gran, Chip and Biff were very upset and also the village people were upset. They decided to stop the plan, so they made some big banners and protected in a meeting but they couldn't stop it.
One day, Gran found a few rare flowers and it was a hope for the village future and nature's future. Thanks to the rare flowers, they could stop the plan!

I thought that nature's power is stronger than human's power. Human and nature have to live together!

BR2-14: Frog and Toad Are Friends

Today I read "Frog and Toad are Friends". I have read this book in Japanese before. Maybe it was the time when I was a elementary school student and I was impressed by this story then. I love this story because the two frogs' characters are different and both interesting.

The main character, Frog and Toad are best friends and they always together. Also they always bear in mind their partner's position and feelings. For example, when Frog was not feeling well and rested in the bed, Toad thought story as hard as he could. And when Toad felt depressed about no mail, Frog wrote a letter to Toad. I think they are best friends in the world and I envy them. I have few best friends and I am happy to met them. I can't be with them everyday, but I love them.

This is short story but heartwarming. Also I thought about my friends.

Cooking is fun!

Today I made dinner for my family. I boiled rice, made miso soup and macaroni salad and broccoli salad. My mother helped me a little, so they were nice! My younger sister asked for a second helping of miso soup, so I was glad.

Actually, I don't cook everyday but I decided to cook dinner every Friday night because I learned that New Zealand people don't cook dinner on Friday. Friday is the day which people can feel relax and don't have to act hard. My host mother didn't cook on Friday and she ordered some fried potatos and fried fishes. So, people love Friday! Friday is best day!!:0
I think so too, if there are the habit in Japan.

I thought it's good idea, so I decided on try cooking dinner and that let my mother lead a confortable Friday night. Also cooking is one of the training for homemaking, so I'll try hard from now on!

BR2-13: Grasshopper on the road

What's up guys?

Cold these days, isn't it?



I read "Grasshopper on the road" today. I love this pictures in this book. Actually I don't like insect, but I like this Grasshopper on the picture because he is cute. There are some his short stories in this book, so it was easy to read and interesting.

I'll tell you a rough plot which is my favorite of this book a little bit. The main character of this story, Grasshopper wanted to go on a journey. He found a lovely road and met group of beetles at first. They were singing and dancing because they were morning lover club! I thought it's so funny because they are a likely thing in the actual insect world. Grasshopper love morning too, but he also love afternoon, so beetles were angry and shouted at Grasshopper. Then he were alone, so kept traveling. He met many insect.

He met three beautiful batterflies at edge of the road. He sat on the big mushroom and then three batterflies asked him to move aside from the mushroom. The three battaflies said they were doing some things every day. The mashroom is that they always sit on, and each and every day they do the same things at the same time. I think it's too boring thing. I wonder they never get tired of doing same things every day. I think human life and also insect life become more interesting because of doing different things and happning different things in every day life. That is one of the value of human and insect life, I think.

This is a insect story, but it was similar to human's life. I enjoyed reading this!

MR2-01: Mr. Doubtfire ~Family love is forever~

I watched "Mrs. Doubtfire", and it was so interesting and heartwarming movie. I watched it about more than 10 times when I was a child, so it is one of my favorite movies. I love this movie because I feel familial ties and parental love. Daniel taught all people that there are many kinds of family style, the way of dealing of children, and how important "love" is. I think family is absolutely essential to human beings because human can't live along. Family helps you sometimes and supports you behind your back. Also family gives us peace of mind. I love my family and I think you too. We can learn a lot of things from family and the movie is also taught us many things with humor. So, I'm gonna tell you the three interesting points below.

To begin with, the story tells us the parent's love for their children. The main character, Daniel who has three children went to meet his children so far dress up as a woman. I think ordinary people can't do that. Daniel really wanted to meet his children everyday and watch over them at their side. It's interesting that child need parent and also parent need child. However, Daniel didn't treat his children as he done. He changed his before style and disciplined strictly. I couldn't understand why he did such a thing at the first time, but I thought that his purpose was to gain favor with Miranda and hired by her for a long time and make times to spend his children. The way of discipline is strict, but that contained his parental love for his children.

Next, the way of dealing with children is interesting. Daniel has highly humor and he allow his native sense of humor a loose rein. He always makes children smile. He doesn't treat child as little child but a human. He treats children on a footing of equality and he said "You don't have to play down to children. You just play to them" on this screen. And that is why Daniel is loved by children and other people, I think. If I have children, I'll try to treat them as he said. There are happy people and children always full of laughter around Daniel. He has a feeling like a child, he act just as he think and these are his personal magnetism.

Finally, Daniel taught us that there are many kinds of family style. I have father, mother and younger sister, but there are people don't have father or mother or even family, and there are also many children don't have parent because of highly divorce rate and single mother. It's sad thing for children that their family break up because of only their parent's selfish reason. However, Mrs. Doubtfire taught us "If there's love, we're the ties that bind. And we'll have a family in our heart forever". This is most important words in this story and it's so heartwarming.

In the conclusion, family is special existence, so if family break up, there are the ties that bind. We sometimes quarrel with our family over a matter because family is most closest existence but we have to know that is also most important existence for us. I'll try to remember Mrs. Doubtfire's heartwarming words and take good care of my parents and my sister. If I have my future family, I'll also take care them with love.
