My golden week
I had cherry blossom seeing and a Thai food party.
I had hanami in Hirosaki Park with my friends of Japanese and Thai,
And the night, I joined the Thai food party held by Japanese students who had studied in Thailand. They cooked so nice, yes, it was excellent, though it was so hot! I really love Thai food. ’Coz it tastes fantastic because of many kinds of spices.
We watched a Thai movie with drinking and we talked a lot. We had a lot of fan until the sky turns right.
The next day, I want the park again, to attend other hanami with Korean students and their tutors and teacher. I was too tired, as you can guess, I had just little sleep.
I tried hard to drink although I don’t like alcohol. I did as much as I can, but my student said that I didn’t drink so much. It was my beeeest(＞O＜)!!
Except it, we enjoyed a lot. We ate delicious Korean foods, and a few Japanese foods, and we talked.

Many topic.
Hi:) this is Rie.
its too late to talk about my GW, but please let me talk about!
acutually, i did nothing special during GW:'( just i had part time job almost everyday!
one thing i had in GW is Hanami & drinking party!
my SENPAI of tennis club came to Hirosaki, so we saw cherry blossom and had alcohole.
i was soooo drunk and i was sick because of too much alcohole.
that was only thing i can say " it was fun" in GW.
The movie "BABAL" was interesting for me.
at the beginig, i couldnt understand what is connection among those three (four)counties.
i thought everything is coneccted in the world! In the movie, those countries were related with "Gun". the most impressive thing in the movie was the scene of killing chicken!!!!
what a shooking scene it was!! i never seen it! i can understand the feeling of the American kids deeply... anyways, i like it! "BABAL"!!!
the report of our discussion has done! acutually, i was nervous!
i think its not smart to use any bombs including neclear bombs.
human has language, high communicationa skills, so we should talk, talk ,talk!!!
i hope there will be nobody who will be killed and hurted from bombs (war) anymore!
i dont have any idea what i can do for new japanese jury system if i get notice.
i cant judge without low knowledge. but....maybe i will go (anyways, have to go) when i get notice. i think after it starts, there will be many problems which have to solve to continue the system.
to stop declining birth rate, there are one solution! "Born babys"!!! any other ideas??? haha
i will !!! (if i marry with rich guy!)
Have a nice weekend, see you in next class!!!

Overseas homestay opportunity
I got the following e-mail message from Professor Westerhoven, who asked me to bring it to the attention of my students. I hope at least one of you will be able to go.
As in previous years, we will organize a three-week intensive English homestay program from February 18 to March 14. Students can get 4 credits (国際理解教育 2, 言語教育演習 2). Except for the Medical School, all faculties recognize these credits as elective credits. This year, we should be able to keep the cost down to \380,000, everything included.
The first explanation meeting will be on Tuesday, May 26, at 17:40 in Room 101 of the Faculty of Education. Only 8 students from outside the Faculty of Education can take part, and 3 students have signed up already, so there is roo for only 5 more. First come, first served.
I would appreciate it if you could advertise this explanation meeting in your faculty classes, but also in 21世紀教育. For more deatils, contact Westerhoven (3449) or Noro (3485).
about BABEL
It was really heavy film.
First of all, I couldn't understand why everything went so worse,
just big impact was left.
The title 'BABEL', I've know the tower of Babel in bible but I could't conected with this movie.."why the title's BABEL?? What's part?" But after reading this coment, I got it at last.(sorry, this's Japanese;;)
→Babel's review
Even though, they were speaking same langages, they couldn't communicate.
Possibly, they'd known each other and had same feeling in the depths of their hearts, but they were thinking 'She/He doesn't understand me' at that time.
I think it's much harder than a language barrier, feel irritated and sad.
Well, changing the subject, I gonna write about my GW.
I met my high school friends after a long time and just working.
That's all---:)
Thanks.

About My Goldenweek
Hi, this is Chiori.
I went to YAYOI ranch in Iwaki during this Goldenweek.
Actually, it is a kind of zoo.
I went to there for the first time in ten years, I could have a good time!
There were so many kind of animals in the zoo.
Horses, rabbits, monkeys, beavers, goats, and so on.
When I fed carrots to these animals, they ate greedily!
(especially horses and goats!!)
At first, I got scared and ran away!!!!
But I became able to give them the carrots step by step! ^^
YAYOI ranch has a place that we can lift up and hug the rabbits,
so I tried to do fearfully.
To my surprise, I found the rabbits were well-behaved animal!
The touch was resemble to my cat, and I had a nice feel to them !!
I really enjoyed the zoo like that.
Would you like to go there?
Thank you for your reading.

My Goldenweek
I attended 2 weddings during Goldenweek. One of them was that of my friend and the other was that of my cousin. Both of them were so beautiful!
I could meet my friends at the former one. Actually, I hadn't seen some of them since I graduated from jounior high school. Some of them changed a lot (as I couldn't recognize them!), and some of them changed a little. Everyone said to me, " You've never changed!" ....I didn't know whether I should be happy or sad to hear that.(Remember, I DID NOT meet them since I was 15!) After the wedding, we went to drinking and talked about what we work on now. I spent special time with them.
Next day, I attended my cousin's wedding. It was the first time for me to attend the wedding of my relative. I know her since I was little. So, my heart was full when I saw that she came into the room with a beautiful white dress. I was about to cry for joy! I wish she lived happily ever after!
Like this, my Goldenweek was filled with weddings. Anyway,I could spend a good time!

Usual Goldenweek.
I didnt do many things during Goldenweek. I definitely lose the name of Golden in this year. haha But i dont mean i spent boring days. First thing i did was "Hanami". I just went to see cherry blossom with a friend and didnt drink any alcohol. Dont blame me like its not Hanami! Hanami will start at the time to get alcohol. haha And I went to "Matsumae" where is the most southest of Hokkaido because my parents was going to come there to see Sakura, and I was going to get see them in Matsumae. I thought it was good time to see sakura there because Sakura in Hirosaki was already scattered, but Sakura in Matsumae was too early. It was just like 40% bloomming. After that, I went back to home in Sapporo. As I just had 2 days in Sapporo, so i went to a mall , ate way better food than Hirosaki, and met my grand parents. Especially, its been a long time since i met grand parents, so it was good thing.:) After the 2 days, I needed to get back to hirosaki through the long way. haha yeah it took like 8 hours. Im always angry why there is no train goes to Aomori directly. Yeah I need to change trains twice in Hakodate and Aomori. I guess there is still the diffrence of the system between JR. haha So that is everything I did during Golden week.

About our topic
Hi!! This is Chiori.
Our group talked about "Obama pledged to abolish nuclear weapons".
President Barack Obama set out his vision for ridding the world of nuclear arms, and declared the United States ready to lead steps by all states with atomic weapons to reduce their arsenals.
I think this bold attempt is a good tendency, but it will be ineffective throughout the world.
There are many countries which have nuclear weapons in the world.
Do you think the nuclear power nations will abolish their atomic weapons?
I think we have to eliminate the nuclear weapons, but also there are some evil arsenals which should be abolished. Why Obama addressed only nuclear weapons?
Do you think this Obama's attempt will attain?
And what should we do for that as a national of the nuclear victims?
This topic is very diffcult, but also very important.
Let's think together!
Thank you.

About Our Discussion
Hi, It's Yurina.
I discussed "Abolishment of Nuclear Weapons in the U.S." in the last class.
President OBAMA pledged about it, but only America.
There are many other countries which has nuclear weapons in the world,
but in this time, only the U.S. said to abolish it.
Actually, the U.S. has a duty as the only country to use nuclear weapons in the past.
ButI think that other nuclear powers have to act to abolish their nuclear weapons together, not only America.
In addition, our group suggest "Why OBAMA said to abolish only nuclear weapons?
How about other evil arms and dangerous weapons?"
So, could you give us your some ideas about this?

About discussion topic.
Hi, this's Akiko.
I gonna write about our topic..
We discussed about 'Jury system in JPN'
This system will start on 21st of May, very soon.
How do you think about it??
There were several questions at that time.
The jury system come into force for what? Is it necessity?
Do you wanna be a jury??
One purpose's to bring judiciary closer to public, we supposed.
Moreover, number of people in the legal professions are dicreasing now.That's the way to make this social issue better.
And before enforcing, there're many voices to expect and worry.
Thinking stuff are still stacking.
Please make up the luck, thanks:D
reference about the Jury system in JPN
This is religion group. we need to talk about our topic.
we were talking about religion as our topic since it was the last class, but we realized that topic was too wide, unclear and too difficult to collect one conclusion, so we changed the topic. Our new topic is decreasing or decreased birthrate. We look it at Japanese, France and Denmark birthrates and compare them each other for figuring out what the problem is in Japanese decreased birthrate and the way to make it growing again is. We are working on this topic already from Friday. Sorry for changing topic suddenly.
About our topic
Hi, it's Mai.
I try to write our topic today.
We discussed "Nuclear weapons" together.
All you guys know it well, I suppose.
President OBAMA said he would fight for the abolition of nuclear weapons.
It would be difficult but his action is worthy of praise!!
I think nuclear weapons are just menace.
They try to show how strong they are,but it is quite fool.
How do you think about it?
And I have a one more question.
Why just nuclear weapons are vice?
How about bombs? It also could kill lots of people.
As you know bio-weapons are illigal in the world low.
Do you think we can abolish nuclear weapons?
Here, this is a web site of →IAEA←.
I'd like to have your opinions.
Thank you.
