I finished an exam today. I had only 1 exam for exam term, so summer vacation started from today for me! My summer vacation plan is… to go many summer festivals! I want to see many fire works. I love summer festivals because I like to wear yukata. I couldn’t go any summer festivals last year because of Kaigaikenshu, so this year I am sure I will go it many times.
Also, I will go beach and river to swim with my friends. I like them, but I don’t want to get a suntan. I want to keep my skin color, so I have to apply sunscreen to my skin when I go river and beach.

I wanna get..
I want to get an iPhon! When I went to New Zealand, I have seen real iPhone. It was first time to see it. My friend who is Brazilian had an iPhone. It looked very cool. I became to want to it, because only I touched the screen, I could operate it. And we can listen to many kind of music by iPod. We can enjoy music and video on a widescreen display and shop for music with a tap. We can use real internet (Safari), calendar, GPS-powered maps, and to check weather anywhere. They have more functions. Of course, we can take many photes, and calling. This website says, “With iPhone, making a call is as simple as tapping a name or number. All your contacts appear in a list you scroll through with a flick of your finger. And Visual Voicemail plays your messages in any order you want, just like email.”

He always just lie about at home doing nothing. He is got angry by Kiroitori because of his life habit. He likes listening to music, watching TV and taking hot spring bath.
Next, Korilakkuma, she is smaller than Rilakkuma. Her favorites foods are strawberry, apple and cherry. She is pretty, but she likes to play a trick to Rilakkuma. She also likes punk music. Her trademark is a red button on her chest.
Finally, Kiroitori, he likes saving money. He is a reliable bird. He also like cleaning. His name is very simple, because he is an ordinary yellow bird. It is kiiroi-tori in Japanese. I think his name is funny.

sports
I like to play basketball. When I was junior high school student, I belonged to basketball club. Basketball is hard to play, because we have to run many time in a game, but it is very exiting. I really like the club members in junior high school, so club time was very fun. I also started to like playing basketball. Also, I like to watch baseball. My circle members often play it, so I go to watch it. They are usually not so good, but they looks cool when they play it.

Houses in NZ
Houses are very important for us, because we live in our house and we go back home everyday, so they ought to be comfortable for us. This paper researched houses of Auckland and Kumamoto. There are some differences between houses in Auckland and houses in Kumamoto. Those differences are due to climate, customs and so on.
In Auckland houses, are there many rooms? Are the houses cold in winter? What should people do when they take a shower in Auckland? There are many things that we should know about Auckland’s houses. To answer these, questionnaire was taken of 24 students about their host family’s homes.
Section 2 of this paper will show about houses in Kumamoto, concentrating on new things about Japanese-style houses. What do people usually have in Japanese-style houses? What do people usually do in Japanese-style houses? Section 3 will talk about homes in New Zealand. Finally, this paper will discuss differences and similarities of houses in Auckland and Kumamoto.
First, most Japanese-style houses have tatamis. They are Japanese-style mat which are made of straw. Because of tatami, we don’t feel cold in winter, and we don’t feel hot in summer. People feel comfortable by tatamis. Tatamis can also be a measure of area in a room. We can know how large a room is easily. These are good points of tatami. One bad point of tatami though, is that straw can get on people’s clothes when they sit down on the old tatami.
Some Japanese houses have a kotatsu (a low, covered table with a heat source underneath) in winter. It makes us warm, so many people like it even cats in Kumamoto. But some people don’t like it, because it is too warm and comfortable, so they feel sleepy, then they sleep in the kotatsu. If you have to do some things, you should not enter it.
All people sleep in beds in Auckland, but some people sleep in futon in Kumamoto. They have to put futon down on a floor every night, and they have to put away it every morning. Futons are healthier than beds, because beds are too soft for people, so it is bad for their back. Futons are also cleaner than beds, because we tend to neglect cleaning of beds, but we can clean a futon and a sheet easily.
Most Japanese houses have a lock on the door of the toilet and bathroom. We sometimes knock on the door when we want to enter the room. If someone is in the room, it is locked. It is normal in Kumamoto. We usually close doors of all rooms in Kumamoto.
There are some differences between Kumamoto’s houses and Auckland’s houses. However one similarity is that in New Zealand, we have to remove our shoes before entering my host family’s house. Surprisingly, it is the same in Japan, even though we may think that New Zealanders enter their house with their shoes on, but according to my questionnaire, many Auckland people don’t remove their shoes, so my host family’s house was special in Auckland.
Also according to my questionnaire, most Auckland houses have carpets in all the rooms, so people were not cold without shoes in winter in Auckland. My room doesn’t have a heater in Auckland, but there is a heater outside of my room open. The next room is a study room. Almost always we keep the door of our room. My room also has a thick carpet. Those things make us warmer.
Second, my host family’s house has many bedrooms, because there are many people; father, mother, 2 brothers, 1 daughter, 4 students and me when I stayed in the house. According to my questionnaire, many houses have many rooms in Auckland, but in most houses, there are only one or two televisions there, so if we want to watch television, we stay together in one room. In Auckland, 40% of the houses from my questionnaire don’t watch television in dinner time. We enjoy our conversation at dinner. Also, if people are in their room, they don’t close the door of their room in many Auckland houses. They always open their room door except when they sleep, so they can talk whenever they want to talk someone.
Third, my host family’s house has 3 bathrooms. According to my host mother, she needs them, because she has 3 children and some students to study in New Zealand. We usually have one bathroom in Japan. Also, there is no bathtub in my host family’s house. Japanese people usually take a bath, but they can only take a shower. However, according to my questionnaire, most houses have a bathtub in the bathroom. Besides; water is very valuable in New Zealand, so we have to take a shower a little time. According to my questionnaire, many bathrooms don’t have a key in Auckland houses. If the bathroom’s door is closed, no one comes in there.
Finally, according to the questionnaire, most New Zealand husbands cook dinner at home. It is very good thing, because many Japanese husband don’t housework. Also, most houses have a dishwasher in New Zealand. It is useful for us, because we don’t have to wash dishes. Surprisingly, most New Zealander don’t rinse after wash pans or dishes with washing-up liquid when they don’t use a dishwasher in New Zealand.
This paper found some interesting differences between houses in Auckland and houses in Kumamoto. People have tatami and kotatsu in houses of Kumamoto, but people have carpets in houses of Auckland. People have futon in houses of Kumamoto, but people have beds in houses of Auckland. People close doors of rooms in houses of Kumamoto, but Auckland’s people don’t close doors except when they sleep in their house. People have a lock on the bathroom in houses of Kumamoto, but people don’t have a key for any rooms in houses of Auckland. In fact, some houses don’t even have bathrooms. The way of washing dishes or pans is also quite different.
This paper has found some amazing things about Auckland houses. There are many differences between houses in Auckland and houses in Kumamoto, but both of them have good points.

Many people have some accessories. Of course, I have many accessories; necklaces, earrings, ring and so on. Above all, a necklace in the shape of bear is the most precious thing for me. It is very pretty bear and it has many pink shiny stones. So my treasure is the necklace.
My boy friend gave me it at my last birthday. I had wanted it before my last birthday, and I had said that I want it once time. I said it only once time, but he remembered it. I really like pink and teddy bear, so the necklace is very fit for me. When I saw it first time in a shop, I thought that I’m sure to buy it. But it is so expensive for me, because it was Christian Dior products. I couldn’t buy it then, because I didn’t have enough money.
At my last birthday, I had had no idea to get a present from my boy friend. But, he had bought it for me in secret. When I got it, I was very happy, and I thought it is so pretty again. It must be expensive, and he always doesn’t have money. So I was sorry to him. However, I was so happy to get it. I’m thankful for him.

Greenland
I went to Green Land in Arao in January 4th with my club member. I drive my car and took my friends. First, we ride a trapeze. I like this attraction! Next, we watch like a movie with glasses. This movie was very scary, so I shouted in a room. We enjoyed many attractions, but I like Go-carts the best. I was poor to drive a Go-cart, but I improved my driving, because I took a driving license.
