Doraemon vs. Goku



Some people debate about not real battles like pirates vs. ninjas. The debates make any sense, but it is fun. This time, I want to talk about Doraemon vs. Goku. Doraemon is one of the most famous characters. He is a cat robot, and he is from twenty-two century. He helps a weak boy by a lot of unique items such as “Every where door”. He can go anywhere he wants when he uses it. On the other hand, Goku is a popular character all over the world. He is a hero of “Doragon-ball”, and he is so strong. He usually fights against bad people who invade the earth. If they meet one day and they battles, what’s going to happen? First, Goku is going to use “Kamehameha” which is strong shot that can make people damaged. Then, Doraemon will use “Dokodemo door” so that escape from it. But Goku is also able to move wherever for a moment, so he will catch up with Doraemon. Then, Doraemon will use “Small light” which can make people small. Goku becomes so upset. He is going to try “Kamehameha” again and again, but it is going to work. Finally, Doraemon will use “Time machine” to send him to the future. Doraemon has hundreds of tools so he may be a winner. If Doraemon can use the tools well, he can win against even Goku. But, he will never kills people because he is so kind. I like the both characters, so I made a happy ending.

Different flavors in the world

When people travel some other countries, they can eat different flavor to their home country. Many people would be surprised the taste because it is new flavor for them. I was also surprised many different flavor when I travel other countries. First, although I like eating almost every food, I couldn’t accept any real Chinese food when I went to China. When I was 18, I went to Japan with my friend because I had studied Chinese at that time. Also, the purpose of the trip was to enjoy real Chinese food. The day we arrived China, we searched one of the most famous Beijing dag restaurant that our Chinese teacher recommended. When we entered there, we really excited because it was the first time to try real Chinese food. We ordered a Beijing dag, soup, and tea. The tea was really nice, though, we couldn’t eat Beijing dag more than 2 bites because it was too oily. I had never eaten oily food like that. After this day, I tried some Chinese food, but I couldn’t accept any spice flavors, so I’d eaten some Italian food or MacDonald’s in China. Second, I don't like gravy. In America, gravy is everywhere, but I always choose not gravy. I tasted gravy, the flavor was not bad, but I heard that it made of beef soup. In Japan, it was a problem to import American beef because some of them causes a disease. I ate a lot of american beef, but I'm afraid to eat gravy because I cannot make sure where the beef from. In addition, I couldn’t drink Saudi Arabian coffee when Saudi people gave it to me. Many Saudi people prefer it, but the taste was too unique for me. I thought it is impolite when I don’t finish it, so I took all. But after that, my stomach felt so bad. I think there are many foods that I can’t accept in the world, but I want to try as many as I can.

Journal Question #3


In my country, Japan, usually do not grave any words that is written in memory of the person buried there. However, some people want to have unique grave. I also want to have a unique grave that is written words. I want to have written that "I was the most freedom person ever". Why I want to be written in my grave? First, the words look not nice, and I don't want to be written bad words in my grave. But this is what I want to be in the future. I want to do what I want, and I don't want to excuse in my life. Sometimes I did what I don't want, but it is easier way. If I was said that I should be a teacher and I would be a teacher that I don't want to be, I can excuse and complain all the time. But I cannot complain when I would be that I wanted. It is harder, but bracing. Moreover, it is the sign of my intention that I want to decide by myself. Some people want to decide someone who is important for them, such as their mother and their friends. They ask about their future plan and influenced a lot. I think it is good thing to listen many people's opinion. But I want to decide by myself eventhogh I ask someone about my future plans or problems. I also don't want to excuse mycelf. That is why I want to be written that I was feedom person. Freedom person sounds irresponsibility person, but I want to live responsibly, and think by myself.

Gangro and Yamanba






My country, in Japan, has a lot different kind of people especially young people. They are usually looked down and considered badly, but their appearance is the signs of help. They tend to have pressure and stress by the society, school, and the parents, so many young people try to act against to them. Older people have to notice about instead of being hate them. At first, one of the group is called "Yamanba", a part pf "Ganguro" who content with the bleached hair and tanned skin. Ganguro gals were usually in high schools, and they represented the Japanese bubble society in 1990. "Yamanba" is similar to "Ganguro", but they looks like the old evil woman in a Japanese old tale, and her appearance is horrible. They has bleached hair, tanned skin, and unique make looks like a panda. (The first picture is Ganguro gals, and the second and third picture is Yamanba gals.) This subculture originated shortly before the turn of the century in Shibuya, close to the famous fashion precinct of Harajuku. It reached its peak in 2000. And it hasn’t regained a large amount of popularity since. That being said, there are still some who remain faithful to this look. Outside of Shibuya and its surrounds I don’t think it is likely that you will see any ganguro girls. Whilst the trend has always been looked down upon by Japanese society in general, and certainly mainstream media. Nowdays you’ll find that most high school students aren’t too keen on it. Ganguro and Yamanba usually consists of high school students, and they are hated by older people. Also, their behavior is not good; for example, they seat wherever they want. they sit down in front of a convenient store, the side of the road, on the train where is not accepted to seat. Moreover, they talk in a train louderly, and they make up in there. Plus, they creates many young word, and they use many creative letter in text messages. It's not acceptable behavior, so many older people doesn't like these kinds of young people. However, the society made the kinds of people, and older people have to think about the education and the system of the society. I think young people is always represent the society, and they show us "help" sign.
