Blog#8: Tokyo Skytree

Hi! I'm Tomoko. In August, I visited Tokyo Skytree with my friends. Tokyo Skytree is 634 meters high, so it was very scarely when I was overlooked towns at the observation deck. Tokyo Skytree is illuminated by two types, "Iki" and "Miyabi". "Iki" is blue color which is imaged water. "Iki" shows spirits of a person born and brought up in Tokyo. While, "Miyabi" is purple color that shows "Edo purple". "Edo purple" is dyed color. The night of the day I went, Tokyo Skytree was illuminated by purple color, "Miyabi". It was a moving sight for me. After we went there, we moved to Tokyo Soramati. Tokyo Soramati is a shopping mall and there are many kinds of shops such as clothes, shoes, miscellaneous goods and food. I bought a accessory. We ate dinner at the Italian restaurant that we could see very beautiful sights. We ate pizza and a spaghetti with tomate sauce.The Italian food was to my taste. It was so delicious. I want to visit Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo soramati again. Next time, I want to go to Sumida aquarium.
                                                   This is blue color, "Iki".

                                              This is purple color, "Miyabi".

Blog#7: France

Hi!  I'm Tomoko. This summer, I went to France with my mother for 8 days. I had wanted to visit France, when I was a junior highschool student, so I was really happy to go there. I stayed many places such as Paris, Orleans and Mont Saint-Michel. The second day of this trip, I visited Mont saint-Michel and ate really famous omelet in there. The first time I saw Mont saint-Michel, I was so surprised to the scael. The night of the day, I went for a walk to see  floodlight of Mont Saint-Michel again. Before I reached there, I could see many beautiful stars in the sky. I was impressed deeply and took many pictures, because I live in Tokyo, so I can't see stars clearly in there. And the floodlight of Mont Saint-Michel was brilliant and I thought that I want to visit here again when I saw it. The third day's night, I moved to Paris that is the most place i wanted to visit. During staying, I went to many famous spots such as Eiffel Tower, arc de Triomphe, Louvre Museum, l'Opera and Palace of Versailles. The most impressed place for me is the hall of mirrors at Versailles. I saw many pictures of this room in materials for world history, but I thought that I couldn't feel this impression before I came here. So I recommend you to visit here at once. I also enjoyed shopping at Champs-Elysees. This is the most famous avenue in France as you know, so there are many bland shops and famous sweetshops like "LADUREE ". "LADUREE" is the famous shop which sell macaron . I experienced many things, met many Japanese and foreign visiter and had a great time in France. I like travelling more and more. Next month, I'm going to go Korea with my friends, so I really looking forward to the trip.
This is Mont Saint-Michel. There is a famous omelet restaurant in here.

This is the hall of mirrors. Can you know the brilliant of this room by this picture?

I think Japan has many beautiful places, but the beauty of places are different between Japan and France. So I want you to visit France at once.

Blog #7: Summer Vacation

Hello! This is Masako Miyahara. It is too hot everyday in Japan. How are you? Have you enjoyed your summer vacation? A lot of my friends have been to foreign country, and they have studied English, but I can't go abroad this summer, so I've enjoyed my summer holidays in Japan. Today, I'm going to show you one of the most impressive events. In August, I went to the Edogawa fireworks display with my club members. I wore a Yukata, and I enjoyed watching the beautiful fireworks.  About 14,000 fireworks were displayed with the good music, and every firework's form expressed the pryotechnist's thought. I went to this event for the first time, so it was wonderful and happy time for me. This fireworks display is famous, so a lot of people gathered in the same area. We also enjoyed talking with these people. If you have a time, please to go the fireworks display in the next year.

Hi, I'm Moe. I'd like to introduce a social media, Pintarest. It was made in America in 2008. It is the site that we can share favorite pictures with others. By using this site, we can make friends who have same  interests and hobbies, and talk with the friends about the pictures. It is like a magazine. For example, if you are interested in fashion, you can put the picture of your clothes, shoes, hats that you like on the site, and you can share your pictures with friends, and communicate with them about the picture like this.

 "Hello, your clothes are very nice. Where did you buy them?

Blog#6: wellnote

Hi!! I'm Akari Higuchi. Today, I'd like to introduce one of social media, wellnote. Wellnote is SNS specialized in a family and provides a place where a family can communicate. You can use it by only your family, so you have no hesitancy in putting your photos or comments on the site. There are mainly three functions in wellnote. First, you can share photos with your family in a moment, so you can watch them on real-time wherever you are. Also, photos were saved in your photo album automatically, so you don't have to file them. Second, you can tell your family that you are healthy by only clicking 'smile' mark. Of course, you send a message to your family, too. Third, you can get health information and popular column. Especially, the health information is distributed by more than 150 medical professions. Also, you can share the information with your family in a moment. SNS enabled to communicate with people in the whole world. But I think SNS is useful to contact your family and relatives living apart from you. So I think wellnote is the new state of SNS and such type of SNS will be needed more and more in the future!

MySpace started in August 2003 in Beverly Hills in California. Until it was overtaken by Facebook in April 2008, it was the most famous social networking service in the world. Like Facebook, you can make the profile with the picture, and make the friends through the site, and you can enjoy exchanging information and chatting. It particular concentrates on the music and the video contents, but you can add all kinds of things such as the HTML and the picture to your page. You can keep in touch with all your MySpace friends by using the Email, the blogs, or the message every time. It is different from Facebook that anyone can see your profile without your permission. Of course, there is a privacy setting for your MySpace profile, but that means no one can see your profile. It's not the mainstream social networking service now, so most of its user is the professional musician, the amateur musician, and the indie, because they can exhibition their own music. If you like music, and if you want to communicate with these kinds of the musicians, please try to check MySpace!
