Culture

I will talk about what part of Japan’s culture I like, and what foreign cultural events I interested in.

I like Japanese Natsumatsuri. It is a traditional summer festival of Japan, most of all of that is held in summer vacation, nearby or in shrines or other large spaces. In the period of that festival there are lots of food stands and something to playing. I think the main event of that festival is fireworks. It is very beautiful. I like Natsumaturi, because of the feeling. When I am walking into during the stands, all of people look fun and play something. They make me feel fun.

In the other country, I have impression to Highland Games, in Scotland and other countries. The players wearing Scotland’s ethnic costumes play games of caver toss or weight throw and so on. The picture shows you a man playing a caver toss. I want to go to that festival and take part at once.

Autumn

It is almost end of autumn. Most people thought “What have I done this autumn?”

In this autumn, I was very busy. I had schools, part time job, lots of home works, activities of circle and club, and I enjoyed playing with my friends.

In the school festival, I helped booth of my club. After that, I had a party all night, it was very enjoyable!

From now, this is the turn of studying. I had had playing too many. I have some presentation, reports and studying for studying abroad.

I will have many enjoyable events in the winter and spring vacation, for example I and some friends probably started to plan of traveling to India or other place. I’m looking for them!

Have a nice winter and spring vacation, everyone!

Keeping in touch by SNSs

Today, I‘ll talk about keeping in touch by SNSs. How to keep in touch have changed and have various types and ways. Even if I and other person have far distance, today’s Internet connects us in a moment, for example, e-mails, blogs, and SNS, and so on. Today’s Japanese young people almost have accounts in facebook, Twitter, mixi.

How SNSs, such us facebook or mixi connect people? First, SNSs let people know birthdays of friends. Thanks of the SNSs, people know the birthdays of friends, so I think no people aren’t celebrated about own birthday by his or her friends. Second, if I become friends with people in SNSs, I can see all the conversation talked by my friend and other friend and those are recorded on SNSs. People can join easily these conversations.

People can get along with friends easily on internet, no matter how they don’t see faces each others. This is the noticeable difference from traditional ways of keeping in touch.
