You can Know about them!

Do you know Halloween and Thanks giving?

I think some Japanese people say YES, but they don't know about that history. They know just NAME. Japanese people doesn't know about it very much.

I know them, but I also only know names. And I also didn't know about them very much. So I looked for website which written about it on google English. There are many websites. Then I found very good site! So I will introduce about it.

http://www.halloween.com/history_halloween.php

I think this website is good. You can know about Halloween if you look this site. For example, you will be able to know origins of Halloween and of couse you will able to know history of Halloween. And That site's color is Halloween color, so you can enjoy see that also. And there are some pictures, so you can know mood of halloween even if you don't know anything about it.

Therefore, if look and read this website, you can learn about Halloween. If you want to know about it, you should look this website.

And I will also introduce other website which is written about Thanks Giving.

http://www.thanksgiving.info/thanksgiving-story.html

I didn't know about Thanks Giving, but I looked this. Then, I could understand some thing about it.

I think that website's English is not difficult, so you can understand even if you can't understand English a lot.

Do you want to know when did Thanks Giveng at first?

Do you want to know who was starting it?

I was interested in it, so I looked and read this website. It was very, very good for me to learn about it. If you also interested in Thanks Giving, you should look and read this website like me! I think you can spend a very good time at that time.

I like those website. They are very interesting. And it is also useful for our knowledge.

Halloween and Thanks Giving are not Japanese culture, but we should know about other countries culture. Internet can tell me many things which is not our country's culture, so we should hear about other culture like Halloween and Thanks Giving!

In the afternoon, I and Jane, Chinatsu and Raisa who is Teddy's sister went to Baltimore. Teddy have to go job, so he couldn't go there with us.

I and Chinatsu slept in the car. After 45 minutes(maybe), we arrived at there. Raisa went to University and we went to aquarium. I had a stomachache, so I was still tired. However, I was looking forward to go aquarium. I love aquarium.

There were many fish such as shark, ray, jellyfish and so on. Turtles were so cute. I took many pictures.

But I like American University :)

After that, we moved to next University because we would take a classes. We asked professor when we arrived at there. Professor said OK, so we could take Nutrition classes. Professor was seems very good. Today was first class, so she introduced for classes. I couldn't understand that when classes started.... Professor talked with every students. It was different with Japanese professor. In Japane, professor speak alone. American Professor used game when students introduce. Japanese professor doesn't use game in my university. And American professor was very friendry. Everyone could ask professor anything. I can't ask professor in some classes in my university.

I like American University's mood. Japanese University 's class mood is not good as America because proffesor and students are not friendry. I think that Japanese should imitate to America.

In the evening, we went to supermarket and we go back home. After that Ben came to Jane's house and we played harts. We became hungry, so we went to restaurant :) We ate Italian food and then, we went back home and we sang in the car.
