New Zealand




Recently, I often remembered about New Zealand. I took these pictures at farm's festival in NZ. It is funny, isn't it? They are so cute and hairy. There were a lot of sheep and dogs. I touched the sheep's hair and really enjoyed there. I could watch the show of shearing the sheep.

New Zealand's Nice Things



I will show about New Zealand traditional meal. “Hangi”. It is Maori’s traditional meal. Hangi is made on a special day. First, Maori men dig a hole in the ground and Maori woman prepare foods. The foods are chicken, pork, beef, cabbage, kumura, pumpkin and so on. They put the foods on baked stone and cover the foods with leaves. Then Maori men bury the foods in the hole. The foods are steamed a few hours. There is a rule when they make hangi. Maori woman must not approach the hole; it is tradition. Some Japanese don’t like hangi because it smells bad. However like this, it takes a lot of time to make hangi so it is better to eat hangi.
The next, wine is necessary for dinner in New Zealand. New Zealand is abundant in natural resources so New Zealanders can make a good wine. They usually drink it at a party. In addition, some people eat desserts after dinner in New Zealand. It may be a part of dinner. The desserts are ice-cream, puvrova and so on. The most popular ice-cream in New Zealand is “Horkey-Porkey-ice-cream”. There are pieces of caramel in vanilla ice-cream. Then, pavrova was made when a ballerina, Anna Pavrova gave a performance in New Zealand.


There are some differences between New Zealand and Japan, but there are not big differences. It is similar style of dinner between New Zealand and Japan. However both of their traditional foods are quite different. New Zealanders have a lot of foreign foods so Japanese foods are so popular in New Zealand. Actually, a lot of Japanese restaurants are seen in New Zealand. My host family said they like Japanese foods so they often go to the restaurants. But most New Zealanders don’t like natto so there are not nattomaki at most restaurants. Most New Zealanders know Japanese foods in addition they often eat them. A lot of Japanese students liked Fish & Chips and Pizza of New Zealand, so most of Japanese probably like New Zealand dishes.

I Love New Zealand




I really like New Zealand because I had been to there for one month last year. I had a great time there!! However my friends can't go there this year in consequence of influenza. It’s really sad thing. I wanted to listen some stories of them but I can’t. I think I want them to know about New Zealand so I will show my report of NZ.

I am greedy and I am interested in dinner of NZ the best so I searched about that last year. What do people usually eat? What time do they eat? New Zealand has some various dishes, custom and tradition about dinner. Some differences are found between New Zealand and Japan.

First, dinner is the most important meal in a day so most family usually has a dinner together. There is no difference between New Zealand and Japan about this point, but there are some differences about dishes and styles of eating. Most New Zealanders have a dinner between 6 to 7 o’clock, but most Japanese have between 7 to 8 o’clock. New Zealanders have a dinner earlier than Japanese. The next, Japanese staple food is rice so Japanese have rice almost every day. While New Zealand staple food is potato. The popular potato in New Zealand is “Kumura”. It is like sweet potato. Most Japanese students liked these potatoes. A lot of New Zealanders have potatoes with meats, chicken, lamb and pork.

Second, there are many different kinds of oversea meals in New Zealand so they have various kinds of meals. The popular meal for dinner in New Zealand are Fish & Chips, roast meals, pasta, pie, fish meals, pizza and so on. Fish & Chips is really popular food in New Zealand. It has been popular since a long time ago. New Zealanders usually take away and eat at their home. It is not healthy but delicious and easy to prepare dinner. It is probably the most popular food in New Zealand. New Zealanders often have roast beef, pork, chicken or lamb. They have it with potatoes and vegetables. New Zealand meals are called “Pacific rim meal” because New Zealand was affected from a lot of countries which Europe, Asia and Polynesia. Therefore New Zealanders often have like pasta, pizza and pie. New Zealand meals are basically meat and three vegetables. It is so simple. They also have fish but it is expensive so they have once in a while. Accordingly, New Zealanders have mainly meats and vegetables for dinner. In addition, most New Zealand families have an oven at home so they usually use it and roast meats a long time.

In the summer, New Zealanders love BBQ and they enjoy a dinner in the open air. They roast sausages and meat chops. They put the meats on bread with tomato sauce. It is traditional style of eating. They can get fresh meats and vegetables at supermarkets in New Zealand so BBQ is the most popular meal in the summer. But in Japan it is also popular in recent years.

Like this, New Zealand’s meal was really good and nice!! I want to go there and eat some foods again;)

I couldn’t lie awake in the night so I studied in the early morning every day. Like this, my high school days are so hard for me. Therefore I really wanted to win the last game in a high school. Before the day of game, I ran round block 3 times every day. I had to give myself a lift. Moreover I practiced hard more than before. I work hard at voluntary training.

Finally, the game have came. I was really excited at last night so I couldn’t sleep well. However my condition was good. We were strained before the game start so we practiced as usual, running and striking. We were relaxed and started the game. We went to the quarterfinal. It was great thing for us! Finally we stood on a victory stand as third. We couldn’t get first place but were very glad. I thought that I will never forget this game. After that, we retired the club but we are best friends now.

I belong a club, Aozorakatsudoutai so I prepared for the festival since a few days ago. We sold potato sticks and tapioca juice. The preparation was so hard, we have to fry potatoes and boiled a lot of tapioca juice. We couldn’t have much time to sleep.

The first day, we sold them but it didn’t reach an aim to sell. In addition we were very hard to sell because it was rain the day… A poster was wet and it was cold so Tapioka couldn’t sell much. However, everyone did their best and they thought that try to sell a lot tomorrow!!

The second day, it was sunny. So we could sell a lot of potatoes and tapioca juice!! We were very pleased:)

The last day, we could sell a lot of potatoes and tapioca juice over the aim to sell!!! We had a closing party at this day. But we didn’t need to pay the money because we made a profit.

Essay: Mrs. Doubtfire




This movie is such an interesting comedy, but there are some impressive parts in this movie. After watching movie, you certainly want to go home. I really like this movie because I like family, too. However, it is natural thing, isn't it? I always can be with my family but somebody always cannot. There are some reasons in this: They live away from their family, they cannot live with their family and so on. I have parents and two younger brothers and live together; I have to think that it is so happy thing!!

First, this story is a story of divorce. The cause of the divorce is acting of husband; he is loved by his children so they always play cheerfully. Their house is messy and noisy so his wife cannot stand his behaves. Therefore, she decided to divorce. He was shocked and cried... in addition, their children also sad... I think that to divorce is very sad thing for everyone of family: parents and children. Second, he cannot stand that meeting to his children once a week so he becomes a housekeeper.

He is really nice housekeeper so nobody did notice that. This scene is very interesting!! His disguising is perfect and he was voice actor so voice is also perfect!!

I thought various things after watching this movie: love, family, divorce, children and so on. For family Living together is natural thing but somebody cannot such a thing. This hero, Daniel did his best to live together by all family members. I was impressed this scene and had a fun!!

We went to Fukuoka ferryboat landing dock by bus. I am really sleepy so I was sleeping all the time on the bus. After about three hours, we arrived at there. We bought lunch at convenience store near there. But I was not hungry then so I bought some snacks and yoghrt. We really enjoyed on the ferryboat because it is strong wind so I was pleasant.

First, we arrived at Iki and go to the sea---!!! The ocean and sand is really beautiful. We enjoyed swimming and playing beach valley ball. In the night, we had a barbecue and drunk, everyone enjoyed very much:) After that we did “Kimodameshi” and shot off fireworks on the beach.

The next day, we went to the sea again!! but it was not same ocean. We playing badminton because it was too cold to swim in the sea. Some people got stung by jellyfish and it looks hurt. To make matters worse, it started to rain…xo so we leave for the ocean and went directly to a hot spring. We were very cold so the bath is very very comfortable. And then, we came back to the hotel. We hold a big party, eating, drinking, laughing,,, anyway we enjoyed so much.

The last day, we went to various tourist attractions, a factory of Syoutyuu, Saruiwa, beautiful park and so on. All of them were really exciting for me!! I could have various experiences and make the very good memories.
