The reason why I love Winnipeg

　I have stayed in Winnipeg since 2011, April 3^rd. When I arrived here first time, I was excited. On the other hand, I felt tense to stay one year in Winnipeg Canada, which is a country I have never come. After I have stayed in here, I found lots of kindness in Winnipeg. At first, I didn’t think I will miss Winnipeg when I go beck Japan, but now I have started to love Winnipeg and am going to miss Winnipeg very much. The reason why I love Winnipeg is citizens in Winnipeg are kind. I would like to tell you a story of a woman who helped me.
 
 Last May, I changed to my homestay from residence. I had a horrible time on May. The most horrible thing was a day I got lost first time. When I moved to homestay, it was really difficult the way how to go to school and home. My host parents are so kind and they told me how to go there, but I am not good at to remember ways. Moreover, I have to take 2 buses. It made me confused. First day I went to school, I got lost. I forgot which bus stop I should get off, but I have to change the bus. Anyway, I decided to get off a bus stop which I have never seen. Of course, I had no idea to catch next bus. This time, I didn’t have confidence to speak English. I really don’t want to talk with Canadian people, but I didn’t have choice. Then, I asked a old woman how to go to U of M. Unfortunately, my English was really bad. She didn’t understand what I said, also I could not explain what I wanted. I just showed her a map of U of M, and then she guided me a bus stop which goes to U of M. Surprisingly, she waited a bus with me until the bus came even though it was pretty cold. After the bus came, she asked a bus driver about me. I cried a lot because she was very kind and help to me.

I didn’t ask her about her, also I think that I will never see her again because it was almost 10monthes ago. She might forget me. It has been my good experience and I will never forget about it.

If I have an chance to see her again, I really want to thank her, and I will have good conversation because my English has improved. That I want.

 By the way, I had a really awesome time on my birthday!

Thank you my friends who celebrated my birthdayJ

Also, I had lovely birthday and farewell party in my homestay!

Thanks a lot!!♥

All adults should live without their parents

I am going to talk about my opinion about adults living with their parents. 

In my opinion, adults should not live with their parents. It will not help them to become adults. I know that their parents will teach them how to live, but if they live with their parents, they will not have time to practice and have confidence. 

First of all, they need to grow up by themselves. If they live with their parents, they will lose opportunity to grow up their skills which they live themselves. They might not cook, clean, wash their clothes and so on. After their parents pass away, it will be difficult to live without their parents. They need to practice helping themselves. 

Then, they will not solve their problems. If they have some difficult situations or emergency, their parents will help them, and then they will never know how to solve their problems by themselves. They should know if they have some problems, they have to consider solving. It will help them to grow up their hearts.

 Finally, adults must give their parents back what their parents have done for them. Their parents have helped them such as paying money, feeding, taking care and so on. If they have become adults, their parents have gotten old. Their parents need help to do something. How adults can give their parents back is cooking, cleaning, washing their clothes and so on. I think that it is a duty what we have to do to our parents.

 
 In conclusion, adult have a right to grow up and help their parents. We can’t depend on our parents forever. That’s why all adults have to live without their parents for growing up their heart and becoming excellent adults.

My favorite Japanese Idol "AKB48"

I am going to talk about my favorite group of idol in Japan. They are called “AKB48”

AKB means AKihaBara which is one of famous city in Tokyo Japan. 48 is a number of members. They are group of singers, also they can dance. Their concept is “Be an idol who can see easily” We usually cannot see famous idol easily because idols are popular and lots of funs want to see them, but they sing in a small hall in Akihabara city. Nowadays, they are really famous, popular and busy, and yet they make time to sing in the small hall. 

One year one time, they have an election to decide at which position they will sing. This is a good chance for members who are not famous and popular. If you buy a CD, you can join the election. Some funs buy 10-30CDs for the election because they want their favorite idol will sing the front row.

Another interesting event is “scissors-paper-rock” in AKB48.

They also decide the position and members with scissors-paper-rock once a year. This is very enjoyable event for us. We can know more members who are not famous if they win. It is also good opportunity for minor members.

 I want to introduce my two favorite members.

First, her name is Yuko Oshima. She is 152 centimeters tall. Some people think that she looks like a squirrel, so her nickname is “korisu”( this mean small squirrel in Japanese)

She has been actress since she was child, but she could not be famous. After she has become one of member in AKB48, she has started to be famous!
AKB48 second election, she won and became the most popular member in AKB48.
I really love her because she always makes funny face though she is famous and popular. She likes to make fun, so she always thinks how can make fun in AKB48. She has really cute face. She has pretty personality. If I were reborn, I would like to be her seriously!!!

 Another one is Sae Miyazawa. She likes boyish style. She has short hair and always wears unique clothes. On the other hand, her personality is romantic. She has a girl’s mind. The reason why I like her is she is crybaby and emotional. I also cry easily, so I understand her opinion and ideas. I feel very close to her. She is not really famous, but she has started to be popular. I want to support her to become one of the famous member in AKB48.

  Finally, I have more information which I want to tell you. If you are interested in AKB48 or have questions, ask me whenever you want!!!<3

The memory that i wish it will never happen again.

I am going to talk about something Iwish had never happened. A thing I want to tell you is I got lost when I was 5 years old in my favorite place Tokyo Disney Land!

I went to Tokyo Disney Land with my family on weekend in summer. It was around 12:00pm. It was lunch time, so there are too many people in Tokyo Disney Land. We decided that my mother and my sister keep a table, and my father and myself went to buy a pineapple pizza at a small restaurant which is far from the table.

 When we walked to the restaurant for 5minutes, I noticed that I wasn’t with my father. I looked around me and tried to find him, but I could not find. However I wasn’t feel serious because I thought that my father will find me, so I quit to walk and waited for my father. About 10minutes, I was waiting for him, but he didn’t appear. Then, I realized that it is serious problem and I need to look for him. I began to walk, but I could not find him. I suddenly felt so sad, and then I looked for him crying. Nonetheless, nobody didn’t come and talk to me. I walked crying for 5minutes. I thought that nobody helps me, so I should find someone who looks kind, and then I decided a woman who is with 2 children. I asked her “Where is my father?” “Oh, do you get lost ? I don’t know where your father is. Follow me. I can help you to find your father” she said. She and myself started to find my father, but we could not, then she find a person who is working in Tokyo Disney Land. She asked him to help me to find my father. After that, she left and I continued to find my father with him. I suddenly heard a voice which I know. It was my father. He was also looking for me. We finally see near the restaurant! We thanked him and we went to the restaurant to buy the pineapple pizza. We talked why I got separated from my father, but we didn’t figure out. As a result, we enjoyed this day in Tokyo Disney Land. Cinderella castle is incredibly beautiful, attractions are enjoyable and so on. On the other hand, I will never forget how I felt so scared when I got lost. I wish I will never get lost alone again.

Farewell Party for my roommate

 On Sunday, I had a farewell party for Andrea, who is my roommate, with my homestay family. Andrea is my second roommate. She is from Czech. She came to Canada the end of October. When she came to my home, I couldn’t pick up her with my host family because it was a Helloween Party at University, so I met her next day which she came to my home. When I saw her first time, I was so surprised because she is very tall. I wanted teach her everything about Canada, my homestay and so on, but her English is better than mine, and she always helped me when I had some problems. I was helped by her! I have stayed with her for 4 months. It is very hard to say good bye to her because we have lots of memories. She is going to leave day after tomorrow, so we had the farewell party for Andrea.

This day of afternoon, Andrea started to pack her staffs in her luggage, but she has a lot of staffs. It was difficult to pack. After she succeeded to pack, we hugged because it was quite complicated. Before we had the party, we watched “King’s speech”. We promised to watch this movie, but we didn’t have a chance to watch because she was busy to play basketball. Finally, we watched. But, we didn’t have enough time to watch all. We will watch after I write this article! By the way, we made same hair style of Japanese style. This day, we had same hair style. Around 6:00pm, my homestay family’s families came and ate supper together. I ate meatballs, ham, salads and so on. I was so full! Unfortunately, my host parents’ grandsons were so active and started to play a trick. It was really though exercise. We were so tired. This day was the worst day I have ever played with them.

After all, we took pictures, and host parents gave Andrea a present. Also, she gave them some presents. I was also received some presents from her. She gave me two dolls, a picture and a candle. Those things are going to be important goods for me.

I am sure that I am going to miss her very much. On the other hand, I still cannot believe that she is leaving. I feel like she is still in Winnipeg until I go back Japan.

I am so happy to have important person in Czech. I will keep in touch and go to Czech to see her in the future.

The place which I will never forget

I am going talk about a place which I will never forget.

I have gone to Okinawa prefecture for 4days 3years ago because of my high school excursion. Okinawa prefecture is located in south of Japan. There is warm weather but there are some typhoons regularly in summer time. When I have been there, it was on the middle of October. Usually In October, we have quite cold temperature in the main island of Japan, but there was pretty hot temperature in Okinawa prefecture.

 A first and second day, I went to the place which was related to the world second war. One of the place which I went is Tower of Himeyuri. Himeyuri is one of a team of       Japanese girl’s rescue in the world second war. This building has some goods of the girls and their pictures. Inside of building, I smelled incense sadly because some people who arrived this building used incense for the girls. Some place in this building, I cannot see clearly because of incense. One room, there are lots of their pictures. I felt like someone was looking at me frequently. I read a diary of the girl who was in Himeyuri for 4months. Her diary said that she lost her family after 2week she joined Himeyuri. I was so sad deeply. After I left the Tower of Himeyuri, I felt like I have to consider about war seriously. I don’t want the war occur again.

 Second and third day, I went to the ocean. The ocean is really beautiful. I smelled a fresh sea breeze. I can see the bottom of the ocean surprisingly. When I dove the ocean, I drunk water little bit. It was very salty, so I threw up that water soon. There are lots of activities on the ocean. I had a small tour of ship. I can feed fishes. The fishes are colorful and many kinds. It was pleasant for me. After I went small tour, I rode Banana Boat. Banana Boat is the small boat to ride. Another big boat pulls the Banana boat and we can ride the boat speedy. It was a lot of fun! Near the ocean, I found some hibiscus. The hibiscuses are pretty and charming.

 Okinawa prefecture is the island and far from the main island of Japan, so they have some different languages and strong dialects. Also, they have different personalities from Japanese people in the main island of Japan. They are very optimistic and easygoing. Some people say that warm weather makes Okinawa people optimistic and easygoing.

Okinawa prefecture is wonderful place in Japan. I want to go there again. I know that Okinawa prefecture is one of historical place, but also I feel like time passes slowly. I can relax when I stayed in Okinawa prefecture. That’s why Okinawa place which I will never forget.

My weekend. 2/18-20

I am going to talk about my weekend.

 

On Saturday, I went to Canada Inn, which is near Polo Park, with my homestay family because my homestay parents’ daughter family borrowed one room, so we went to Canada Inn and swimming together. Before we went to a pool, we ate supper in Canada Inn. It was buffet. I ate a lot of food in there. Also, we can make ice cream by ourselves. I made own ice cream and ate. But, after I ate, the grandsons wanted to make ice cream for me, so he said “Can I make your ice cream?” I didn’t say “no” because their eyes told me that they really want to make mine. When they brought my ice cream, I was so surprised. It was so big. I was so full already, but I ate all. I felt like I am going to die in the pool. After we finished our supper, we went to the pool. There is a water sliding and a hot tub in the pool. My hostfamily’s grandsons want me to play together, so I tried the water sliding 5 or 6 times. I was so tired, but the grandsons were not tired like me. Then I tried the hot tub. Hot water make me so comfortable. I like it! After all, I went back home because our homestay family didn’t borrow a room. It was fun! But, sooo tired!!

On Sunday, I went to bowling on Dakota with Diana, Cecilia, Andrea, who is my roommate, and Shiho, who is 350 student in IEP.. It was second time to play bowling. Canadian bowling style is different from Japanese style. Pins are fewer than Japanese pins. A ball is smaller than Japanese one. At first, I felt very strange, but I enjoyed now. It is easy to hit pins, and we have 3times to play. On the other hand, Japanese bowling just 2 times. We played almost 1 and half hours, also we ate a pizza. We had great time with my friends! After I went back home, my hostfamily’s grandsons came to my home. One of grandson gave me a piece of pizza. I ate pizza second time, so I decided this day was pizza day. After I ate pizza, the grandson who gave me a piece of pizza and I battled with a pillow. He flung me the pillow strongly. I had good exercise with him.

On Monday, I went to the forks with Cecilia, Haruka, Andrea, Shiho and Luisa, who is IEP student. We skated on around the forks. It was first time to skate for Cecilia. I teach her how to skate, but I am not sure my teaching is good or not. At the first, Cecilia and Haruka just walked on the ice, but they improved a lot! They skated finally! After we skated, we went to Pancake house. I ate a strawberry pancake! It was so delicious. We had a good exercise with skating, but we ate the big pancake. I think our exercise didn’t work… I love skating! I want to go again! Also, I was so tired after all!!

I had wonderful weekend! I am lazy to go to school x(
