Notting hill

I like this book because it is easier for me to read than other books which are written in English. The character, spike is my favorite character of this books characters. He always does unusual things, like wearing diving suit out side. In addition, I'm interested in his behavior about stopping busy cars that almost last scenes. He is always stupid, but sometimes becomes a very good guy.  I'd like to recommend it to my younger brother because there are few difficult words.

Shogi

I have not played video games so much since i was a child. I used to play Shogi with my father when I was a child. Shogi is known as a Japanese chess, two-player game. This game is old board game and very famous in Japan. Most Japanese know this board game. Players have to think and expect what will an opponent do. I think most old persons like this game and still popular today. The player need to move 8-kind of pieces. Shoūgi's board is composed like a net; a grid of 9 ranks by 9 files. When a player gets a opposing king, a man is winner, but this is just rules. Japanese don't get a opposing king exactly. It means if you are sure about you are going to be taken your king by another player, you had better say 'give up' before another player will get your king. This is a tacit understanding.

If i were rich,

If I win $10 million in the lottery, I might go trip around the world!! Maybe, I will give some money to my family. I really want to go Europ to watch and listen to musical and orchestra. Also, I want to buy any experienve things such as sport car, great watch, clotheses and so on..... However, probably I will travel around the world and to go some World Heritage Sites if I win $10 million in the littery!!

New Year in Janpn

In Japan, we celebrate the new year. January 1st is the national holiday in Japan. And most Japanese rest the 4day's; from December 31th to January 3rd. During these day, we met ground parent's and relatives. Then talk about last year's reflections and new year's aspirations when eating new year special Japanese food.We send the new year's card to my friend or person who was indebted. And most children are able to be given new year's money from their parents or their relative persons. I use to be given this. December 31th is the major cleanup day!! So we clean the room, kitchen, washroom, bathroom, entrance and around our house!! all of place where we used place last year. If we are doing that, we can live good days new year. Also, Japanese play the KARUTA, HANETUKI, TAKOAGE, ect.... we can take so good days.

Kobe's night view is called ''The night view of Kobe of 10 million dollars'' very very beautiful. And there is a lot of place that you should visit. If you visit there, this place doesn't make you bored! For the time being, food is pretty good!! and if you like shopping, you can buy everything such as something cheap or expensive things if you want.

Maybe you want to go to Osaka or Kyoto, you can go there soon by train. I used to go there to play with my friends. I also recommend there. This(left) picture is Kobe Luminarie that is one of the famous events. YOU SHOULD GO KOBE!!!
