Winter Plans

Right now in Michigan, the weather is getting very cold. It has been snowing almost every day. I don't like the cold very much so I haven't been going outside or doing many activities. However, once this semester is over, I will be going up to northern Michigan to visit a friend. She wants us to go snow-mobiling, sledding, and skiing. I am looking forward to visiting Mackinaw Island. It is famous for having delicious fudge. I haven't seen my friend in a long time, so I hope that we will have lots of time to talk. What do you do with your friends on breaks from school?

高いですよ

こんばんわ。ライリーです。今、マクドナーというりょうで住みます。でも、高いですよ。だから、来年友達とアパートで住みたいです。最近、たくさんアパートと家を見ました。大きくて、安くて、大学にそばから、これ家が一番好きです。でも、大家さんと言いないから、もう一度家を見なくちゃいけません。

韓国の音楽 祭り

日曜日、韓国の音楽祭りに見に行きました。とても楽しかったけど韓国語で話すだけです。ちょっとわかりません。

皆さん、どんな音楽が好きですか？

Food!

Hello! I'm mai.Today's topic is about food.
What's your favorite food? :-)
My fevolite fiid is crab meat, eggplants and umeboshi.
Do you know umeboshi? It's Japanese food and very sour! I always carry it to eat anywhere.
Eggplants is healthy and there are some ways of cooking. Today, I'm going to make a dinner and use eggplants♪


When I was a child, I went to the U.S. I ate various American foods and visited some interesting places! for example, the Universal Studio, Hally Wood, Las Vegas and so on. After travering the U.S, I thought I like Japanese food the best. (^^;)
Do you like Japanese food?

My favorite food

Hi, I am Kanami. Today I learned about food of some countries. I like eating very much.
Now, In Japan is cold so I want to eat "NABE" very much.

Do you know "NABE"? This is very hot so good for winter. " NABE" is like a soup that is had many vegetables and chiken or pork. Most favotite taste of "NABE" is "Kimuchi". Kimuchi is food famouse of spicy in korian. I like spicy taste. so I love it. I often go to "NABE reataurant" with my friends". The restaurant name is "赤から”（Akakara）. This NABE restaurant is not seen all of Japan. This reataurant is only Nagoya.

Please go to this reataurant when you come Nagoya.:-)

FOOD

Hi! Today, we discussed 'FOOD' in the English class.
I know you know some Japanese food, for example Sushi, Tempura and so on.
2 years before, An Ausutralian student visited my home to do homestay, and at that time,
she really loved Onigiri( triangled shape rice ball). She always maked triangle shape with her hands to explain onigiri... it was interesting!
Anyway, do you like Japanese food or if you like it, what's your favorite one?
Also, please tell me American traditional food because I don't know what exactly American food it is.
By the way, I'm really into ice cream and my favorite shop is Cold Storn Creamary(is the spelling correct?) from America!! Cold Storn are in Japan, too but they're far from my house, so I don't have any chances to eat in this shop so much... I'm sad...

Talk to you soon!

ファッション

みなさんこんにちは。
かなみです☆　先週はクラスを休んでしまい、投稿が遅くなってしまいました（＞＜）

最近寒くなりました。なのでコートやジャケット、マフラーなどが欠かせません。
でも冬のおしゃれは色んな小物でアレンジが効くので好きです。
私は最近エクステンションを付けて、髪の毛を胸の下くらいまで長くしました。
髪が長くなったので、今年の冬は帽子をたくさんかぶって出かけたいです。
帽子は大好きで、たくさん持っています。

みなさんはどんな服を着るのがすきですか？
私は色んなタイプの服が好きで、毎日のように服の系統を変えます。
でも、最近はお金がなくて、あまり服が買えません（；；）
あぁー、悲しい。。。

Hello everyone! This is Rhieley again. Now that the Thanksgiving holiday is over, it seems like Christmas and the New Years are coming up very fast. I have a lot of presents to buy this year. Many of my relatives have young children now that I am expected to buy presents for. I also have several friends and older relatives to buy for. This year I want to get my roommate a good present. In the past I have just given small things like candles. However, my roommate is returning to Japan at the end of this semester and I wanted to get her something nice that she will be able to use and appreciate. What are some of the best gifts that you have received?

猫

こんばんわ。ライリーです。最近、私の猫を死にました。ちょっとさびしいです。今、量に住んでいるから、ペーとがありません。来年、アパートに住んでと思います。だから、ペートを買えります。母の犬は悪いですから、猫のほうが好きです。私の彼は子猫を買うと言います。フメナソサィエティは、たくさんかわいい猫があります。何ペートがありますか。

Looking for Work

Recently I have been busy trying to find a job. I have been applying at the University for a job but I would rather work at clothing stores like Old Navy or The Gap right now. I am trying to get an internship for over the summer. Last summer I worked for Chrysler Financial, which is a part of the car company. This year, I am hoping to work for Del Sol. They have many awesome products that all change color. I think that it would be very interesting to work with them. Plus, I would hopefully get to leave the country. I was wondering, where is a popular place to work in Japan?

Thanksgiving

こんにちわ。フェラーラです。書かないですみません。私はthanksgivingの休み家に帰りました。私の家族とたくさん食べ物を食べたり、映画を見たり、ゲームをしたり、しました。友だちときさてんに行きました。きさてんで友だちとはなしました。日本で、家族と友だちがたくさん時をするがほうしですか。たくさんやすみしました。宿題をしない。でも、今私がたくさん勉強してなくちゃいけません。日本でやすみがありますか。じゃあまた。

Popular Fashion

Hello, how are you all?
Today, we talked about fashion in this week's class.
I really want to know what do you think Japanese girls (or boys) fashion. Our teacher said Japanese girls fashion sometimes looks like prostitute, and I was really shocked to hear that.
Also, I'd appriciate if you tell me popular American fashion and popular fashion brand.
Sorry for this short blog message...
I'll write another message soon!

Fashion!!

こんにちは。Maiです。今日は授業でファッションについて話しました。ファッションの流行は毎年変わって、服を買うのにお金がとてもかかります。（；＿：）
日本では今、カラータイツ、ブーティー(ショートブーツ)、ボブ(ヘアースタイル)、などが流行っています♪
私は今、ワンピースを集めることに夢中になっています♪右の画像のモデルさんは私が憧れている長谷川潤さんです☆
アメリカでは今、何が流行っているのですか？？雑誌などでよくアメリカの女優さんや歌手などのファッションスタイルは見ますが(*_*)



私の大学は女子大学なんですが、みんなオシャレだと思います。大学に行くまでに坂があるのですが、坂をハイヒールででも登っていきます。（＾＾；）とても大変ですが・・
私はよく、楽なのでジーンズをはいていきます。
皆さんの大学の人たちはどんなファッションの人たちが多いですか？？

thanksgiving

On Thursday we had Thanksgiving. I returned to my hometown to see my family since we have a few days off from classes.
A lot of people have huge dinners with a lot of people, mostly family. My family usually just has a small, relaxed dinner. Everyone eats turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pumpkin or apple pie.
Thanksgiving, I think, is considered to be a holiday centered around eating and family. The day after Thanksgiving is called "black Friday". On black Friday women go out Christmas shopping and the men watch football games on TV.

Your First Date

Hi, everyone!
Today, I learned about very interesting topic, the first dates.
In the class, our teacher gave us a survey about "where is the best place for a first date". ( she asked American)
Accoding this survey, 81% of American would love to go to a coffee house, and 70%/a walk in the park, 65%/the local diner,.... any other answers, brunch, live music, a musium, comedy club and so on. Would you like to go those↑place for your first date, or did you go there for your first date? I know "first dates" is kind of a personal thing, but I'm curious to know about it!
Most of my class mates said they would go to see movies, but how about you?
"Going to see movies" wasn't in the survey, but do you think american students would'nt go there?

初めてのデートについて

みなさん、こんにちは。
奏美（かなみ）です☆　最近は日本もずいぶん寒くなってきました。
私は寒いのが嫌いなので、冬があまり好きではありませんが、クリスマスは大好きです。
クリスマスと言えば、恋人たちの気持ちも盛り上がります☆
デートプランを考えたり、恋人へのプレゼントを考えたり、やることが多いです♪

さてさて、今日の授業ではデートについて学びました。初めてのデートについてです。
男女によって、したいこと、したくないこと、言うべきこと、言ってはいけないこと、の意見が分かれていました。
私は初めてのデートでは色んな話がしたいです。自分のこと、相手のこと、好きなことなど。
なので同じ話ばかりになってしまうのは嫌です。
皆さんはどう思いますか？
皆さんは初めてのデートで何を言われたり、されたりしたら嫌ですか？

教えて下さい。（＊＾＾＊）

First Date♪

Hello!This is Mai.
Today, we talk about 'Fjirst Date'. It's very interesting theme!
In Japan, people often go to movie, aquarium, amusement park, restaurants, coffee shop...and so on. Some men treat on a date, but I don't like it. I feel it's bad for men. X-(
How about your counturies?
I went to an amusement park in my first date. First, I was very nervous, but we could enjoy and gradually became familiar. In Japan, people often ride in a ferris whell, but I 'm weak in high places. I was asked to ride it, but I refused to do.. :-(
What did you do in your first date♪? Tell me about your first date!

Inter- racial/national Relationships

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to use Japanese for this topic, but I didn't know alot of words to use with it so I'll use Enlish.

But I wanted to know what other people think about inter- racial/national realtionships. In America, especially where I live (Michigan), it's very segregated. And you don't see too many people in realtionships with people outside their ethnicity. When it is done, a lot of other people treat the couple strangely and give them a hard time.
My girlfriend now is Japanese. There are some times when it's really hard for use to do some things in public, unless we want to deal with other people.
I think that it's very stupid that racism exists and still effects people today. But I was wondering what other people think about it and how is it in Japan?

Photos; trip to Turkey!!

←①　　　　　　　↓②

↓③ 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　↓④

←⑤

I went to Turkey with one of my friends in the last summer vacation, so I'll show you some photos.　Let me explain photos...

①and② are photos of Pamukkale.

Pamukkale is kind of hot spring but it's very

shallow. It's made of limestone so here is white and bright.

It's one of World Heritage sites, so there were many tourists. Sunset in here is the most beautiful!!( you can see in my photo②)

③ is photo of Kaimalk underground city. A long time ago, Christians built this city to be safe from Muslime people. Inside of this city was complicate like a labyrinth.

④ is photo of Cappadocia. ( also one of world Herotage sites)

There were many strange shaped rocks, and most famous shape is "mushroom shape".

These stones are not so hard, so it's easy to make holes. I saw many holes in the stones and a tour guide said the holes are used as church or house a long time ago.

Last one, ⑤ was taken in istanbul. A girl who's in this photo is of course ME!

And, the building behind me is "blue mosque". Istanbul was very interesting city, but people's manner of traffic was really bad..., so Iwas always scared when I crossed roads.

I was really enjoyed trip to Turkey, because there were a lot of beautiful sceneries and onteresting cultures. I recommend you to go there someday!!

But, you should be careful when you visit carpet shop because all sales clarks were too enegetic when they tried to sell carpet to me... they really scared me!!

Anyway, our teacher said this Blog will be end very soon....

but, I really want to continue, because I want to talk to you on this Blog.

So, if you think the same as me, let's continue this Blog.

Or you can e-mail to me personally, so if you want to have my mail address, please let me knoe that.

Talk to you soon!!

drink☆

Hello. This is Mai.
I heard about some alcohol drinks and the way to drink in the U.S from my English teacher and this talk was very fun! :-D I want to know more!
In Japan, there are also peculiar drinks, for example, Shotyu, tea, and so on. Most Japanese people usually drink green tea every day.
Especialy, I like cocoa very much. X-)
About a few years ago, I drank cocoa almost every day in the midnight. I also like fresh cream. Then, I couldn't sleep early and well, so for good sleep, I always drank it with fresh cream and sure enough, I got fat. :-(
After it, I stopped this habit..
What drink do you like? :-) And are there any pecliar drinks in your countury?

Drinking

Hi, everyone!
Today, I studied about drinks in English class.
We talted a lot about drinks, and it was very fun;-D
Our teacher told us how American students driak alcohol with their friends whe she was a student. She said she enjoyed "body shot" ( put salt on boys' (or girls' ?) neck and rick it and drink alcohole). I was very surprised at this!! Do American students really do this?? Japanese students never do this.
I have some question for you, How many times do you drink in a week?, What's your favorite drink ( alcohole)? , What alcohole is the most popular among American students? What's your fovorite style to drink? Do you have special and interesting style to drink?
I hope you'll answer my questions:-D

Hello. I am Kanami. Today, I leaned about 'body Langage' in class. There are many body langage in the world. Everyone, What body langage do you like? My most favorite is 'V-sign'. This means 'Peace'. :-> I think that it is very cute. So Almost Japanese do this sign when we take a picture. this pose and smiling are public pose. My teacher said to us 'Why do you do this sign when you take a picture?' I heve never thhough about this Question. But in my opinion, we want to remain happy time in our picture, so we always do this pose. Do you think that this Japanese culture is funny? Please tell me. :-)

Gestureについて

Hello,everyone!! I have to use Japanese for blog at least 1/4 times, so I'll I'll use Japanase this time.
みなさんハロウィーンはどうでしたか？
私は、家では特に何もしませんでしたが、学校の英語のクラスで、トイレットペーパーを使って
友達をミイラにするという少し変わったゲームをしました。私のグループは、一番早くミイラを完成させることができたので、先生からM&M'sのチョコレートをもらいました！！とても楽しかったです。

ところで、今日の授業では、ジェスチャーについて勉強しました。国によって同じジェスチャーでも全然ん違った意味を表すので、注意しなければいけないと思いました。（例えばBilgaria, Gleece, Iran…など一部の国では、首を横に振るのがYesということらしいです（shaking head right to left→Yes)。）
皆さんは、ジェスチャーについてどう思いますか？ほかの国と違うアメリカのジェスチャーを知っていたら、ぜひ教えてください。

Hello.I'm Mai.
some Japanese body languages are　different from other counturies it.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

みなさん！こんにちは。　奏美（かなみ）です☆
この前、授業でＨＡＬＬＯＷＥＥＮについて勉強しました。
かなりかわいくて、楽しいお祭りだと思います。
日本人はあまりＨＡＬＬＯＷＥＥＮについて敏感ではありませんが、
今年はアイスのお店や、レストランなどは、かぼちゃの帽子をウエイトレスがかぶっていたり、
学食のメニューがかぼちゃずくしだったりするのを見ました：－）
日本人はかぼちゃをＨＡＬＬＯＷＥＥＮのシンボルにするのが一般的です。
おかしをもらったり、仮装を大題的にやったりはしません。
一度やりにミシガンへいってみたいです☆

About Halloween

Hi, This is Tomoko.
In the end of every Octorber, Do you celebrate halloween, don't you?
In Japan, we don't celebrate it, but we often enjoy it as one fun event.
For example, we ate pumpkin taste sweets, or recently, some people put some decorations in thieir garden. Maybe I think it's started since Tokyo Disney Land took this halloween event over their park as an Autumn event, because we didn't have any fun events during Autumn.
But I don't know how really American people celebrate it, and why people started celebrate it.
Please let me know it!
Talk to you soon, Tomoko
