The World University

I agree with Mr.Fukushima on the point that he mentioned about young Japanese students are not interested in studying abroad. Because Japan is consisted on group society and they cherish people in their circle, it would create the strong bound between people in the grope. However, it also makes huge gap between the strangers who are living in outside of the circle.
Therefore, some Japanese hesitate to go abroad. They could feel isolated when there is no Japanese around them. In addition to that, they might struggle with the anxious feeling that they could lose the bound when they stay oversea for a long time and as everyone knows, it takes a long time to graduate university. So that it would be hard for Japanese students to study in that environment.

It might be not enough only studying in Japan to get highly education as he said but the Times higher education, English education magazine showed the world university ranking and Tokyo university had ranked in 30 on October 6th 2011. It is the best result in Asian countries. There are another four more Japanese universities in top 200 that Chinese university had got three.
Still, it has 29 more universities ranking higher than Tokyo university. It is better to go those place for the best education. It education is not that worth but seems have long way to go.

Finally, the world getting color of globalization and Japan, island country hasn't fitted in that very well. It might be because of that historical issues but there is higher percentage to be succeed when Japanese society get global. So that Japanese government should try to help for young students to studying abroad and have open mind to another countries.

Present~< 333

I can say being here is kind of present for me :)

I wasn't think about going to this university since my homeroom teacher told me.
It was end of June and I was going to take other uni's entrance exam but teacher noticed me that this uni will start SIS course. I have been interested in English so I started prepare for the exam.
There were not so many time to do it but I tried hard and I made it as you can see.

I think I'm really lucky to be here. I met many great friends (of course include you guys;)) and notice there are many assignments in the university trying to kill me and when I start to work in a company, it could be get worth... x(
However I can feel awareness before that so it was good for me.

I want to make this present better by my effort and with your help;)
I LOVE YOUUUU(>∀<)<333 xoxoxo

WINTER!!

my winter brake gonna be extremely busy!
i hung out with my friends and travel many places.
but before that i have to make my grand parents and parent's new year's card (nengajyo).
i make it with pc every year and i got some treat from them:)
this year, my mum go to Hong Kong with her friends from Dec 26th so I have to make it as soon as i can but i usually get started late:( Both of them send the cards a lot (about 600 for each!)
so I have to be hurry in this year.

Adult

When you get older, is it makes you to be called adult? I don't think so. It is true that there is a age border that separate minor and adult but sometimes little kids might think more carefully or wisely than adult (maybe it because they are child, they think different way though) .

so I'm not sure what makes me I'm an adult.
I can tell I'm not really like I'm adult now. However, I have to pay my tax from next year and have to vote. I just can't believe it... I have to be responsible more than now.

At the same time, it's a kind of exciting thing to be adult for me. I think that would be cool if I can stay calm and help others because it is my ideal image of adult;p However, it is often saying that ideal and real is different so I'm not really think of it. haha
I wish I can get closer to the adult every day. little by little:)

I forget!!

umm, my memories,,,, well, I think I'm not good at remembering things because I just can't think of any. There are pictures so I can tell what I was like but hard to say like, how I felt at that moment or what I was thinking about. I do remember what I was like a month ago but before that......not sure. x( haha

I'm thinking hard now and something came up. :D
When I was in kindergarten, I love playing outside and my favorite was swings. I always play with boys and playing sports then got dirt but my mum didn't mind it. I also like to go fishing with my dad and when we went to the river I went into the river and my cloth got wet. My dad didn't care about it either;) so when we came back to home I cleaned my body in front of the house first (there is pluming) and my mum went out with a big towel. I still go to fishing with my dad but I don't have much time lately.

This is the earliest memory that I could remember. I was about four or five. I was a kind of kid who had tons of energy. I was a tomboyish girl but I did love reading picture books and painting but not really like playing... well I say gracefully. lol
ah, I remember I was really into Pokemon. I loved pikachu's stuff toy. I brought it every where. It must have got dirt too.

well, this blog helps me to remember what I was like! :p
It almost a year since I started this. wow...!!

Italy

I'd like to visit Italy someday. I took Italian class last semester and it was pretty fun to speak Italian. I wished I could choose Italian for second language. Its pronunciation is fun to pronounce! That makes me feel I'm saying foreign words which is enjoyable for me.

One of the reasons why I like Italy is the language and another is food and lots of historical places. I love basil and tomatoes and cheese. They can make fantastic pizza margherita. Buono!
There are many places I'd love to visit. One is Pompeii. This is the remains of ancient Rome and world heritage where whole town used to be covered by volcanic ash. Therefore, it still has old buildings or street. Visitors can see how the ancient people were lived. It's very interesting!

My sister and I are planing to go oversea next holiday and my sister wants to go to Egypt and I wanna go to Italy. Egypt is great for me too so it is really great if we could visit both of these countries. well, maybe someday.

Misunderstanding between men and women in the kitchen

It is not really like misunderstanding but...
From the ancient time, men don't cook. Women cook usually.
There is a idea which some Japanese men think that men shouldn't cook at home. They think cooking is women's work. I don't mind cooking. I like it actually. well, like to cook and cooking well is another thing though. ;p
Some men think women cook well and some women think men can't stand with it. Maybe it is true but lately there are many cooking men on TV or books. In addition, there are many famous chef or patisserie and of course they are men. So I think nice gentlemen should have have great cooking skill;) There is no excuse that men don't need to cook nowadays!
