Korea trip

I'm going to tell about story when I went to Korea with my friend!
It was maybe almost 1 year ago in winter and traveling to Korea is first time for me. We stayed for just 3 days. It was very short time, but we were busy at that time. My friend loves Korea! She have been to Korea 3 times a year. So, she took me there to introduce. 
Actually, I don't remember much...

 I went to Seoul to buy cosmetic and to eat something. When we were walking the street, the clerk advertised and then they gave us free cosmetics sample.  I bought a lot of things. Foundation, lotion and face pack something like that. Maybe...I bought over 30 cosmetics! The cost was just $70. I think it's so cheap. I hard from my friend that Korean cosmetics is very good. Korean cosmetics is better and cheaper than Japan.






Besides, I ate many Korean food! All of them are nice!! Grilled meat, kimchi, bibimbap, hotteok and so on. The most favorite food is Kang jean kejan(not sure spell exactly..sorry). It's crab food.
If you put rice, will be more and more delicious!! and Hotteok. this is like a pancake. It include cinnamon. When I was 350 levels, Sukyung and KyungHee made it! It was soooo delicious! I love it!
I wanna eat them now!





And we went to Seoul tower at night to see night view. The tower was beautiful! But time was so late. So, we walked to Seoul tower, I was exhaust and so freezing. Unfortunately, we couldn't enter inside because of late. I was shocked, but we could see night view from another place. It's so amazing and beautiful! I was so impressed. We went to massage. The massage was comfortable! The time was 2 am and after that we went to the airport to get back Japan. 






I spent really great time! If I get back Japan, I'd like to go Korea again!!!



Arranged marriages

I'm going to write about arranged marriages.
Arranged marriage is men and women who want to get marry looking each partner for matchmaker. 
Matchmaker is like parents, friend, colleague, relative. It's ok whoever you have something to do with . But as some case, parents force to children marry somebody. Even though the children don't want to marry, they have to marry somebody. Because, to get money( if partner is rich), to advance the status( if the partner's parents are boss)There are some  kind of arranged marriage. 

These days, there is marriage bureau. It's like a place which the stuff find marriage partner who wants to get marry. It doesn't need matchmaker. The stuff will give some information. we can know individual information such as face, family organization, occupation and so on. So, we can choose the marriage partner. 

There is a marriage party. Many men and women come to the party and finding a partner. we can  meet a lot of people. However,  there is the disadvantage of the party. You might not be able to catch your favorite person if someone like your favorite person. In the case, you have to be aggressive.

I think arranged marriage is fortune. Perhaps, you might be able to get good person or you might be able to meet bad person. For me, if I can meet good person, I can't marry the person at the time. I mean, after a lot of dating, I will start thinking about getting marry the person. But I don't prefer arranged marriage because it's hard to like person who I've never met before. 
Although my acquaintance have a few experience of arranged marriage, she said it's impossible to find her type person. I think so.

Okinawa

Okinawa is one of my favorite place in Japan. Also, this place is famous known as tourist attraction. I have been there just one time as school excursion when i was high school student. It was really fantastic! There are many charms in Okinawa.

First, I went to a beach to swim. The ocean was clear and very clean. I did scuba diving, snorkel and "banana boat". Banana boat is vehicle in shape of banana.the speed is getting fast. So it will be kind of scary. But If you like feeling thrill, you would fall down on the sea better! Although all of them were really fun, especially, I liked to do scuba diving. Because I could see a lot of fishes inside and touch them. I really want to do that again! I was inspired by Okinawa's ocean.

There is a famous aquarium. The name is "Churaumi aquarium".It used to be the biggest aquarium in the world. So, it has too big aquarium. You can see various fishes such as shark, ray and conger eel. Also you can see dolphin show.

Next, it is about original food. Okinawa food is healthy and beauty for us and has foodstuff to live a long life. Meat food contains a lot of collagen. I was surprised when I had eaten some Okinawa food. Especially, ear of pig. It was strange taste for me. Therefore, I could not eat all. Besides that, green caviar. It is not real caviar. Just looks like caviar. It might be disgusting for some people. It does not taste. We dip it in dressing. such as soy sauce, vinegar and mayonnaise. Almost every food is healthy and yummy!



Okinawa is warm place in Japan. The temperature is almost over 40 degree in summer season. If you go to Japan, you should visit to Okinawa! I think almost everyone will like it because of very beautiful ocean and traditional foods.

Briefly tell about a movie I saw recetly.

I'm going talk about a movie I saw recently.

 The title of movie is “Penelope”. This story about love story.The main character is Penelope who plays Christina Ricci. She is so cute and beautiful!

Penelope was born in wealthy family. However she has a snout(very ugly nose) because her ancestors were cursed by witch. Her mother care about her snout. So, her mother has never been let Penelope go out. It was boring and terrible for Penelope.  Her parents tried to marry Penelope to somebody to break the curse, but all man who want to get marry Penelope escaped  from her when they saw her nose. One day, Penelope met a only man who did not escape from her. The name is Max(James Mcavoy). Penelope crushed on him. But she was betrayed by Max once again. Penelope felt disappointed and then she ran away from home to be free!

Outside is exciting for Penelope such as hotel, restaurants, shopping mall and bar. But she can not go out without hiding the nose. Penelope met a woman when she went to the bar and then, she made friends with the woman. One day, she told the newspaper company about her nose by herself to get a lot of money. General people knew her nose and then Penelope was getting famous! Although Penelope did not think no one feel fear her, everyone did not afraid of her!

And The parents of Penelope made an arbitrary decision about her marriage partner. Penelope did not want to get marry  the man. So, she escaped from marriage. Penelope shouted "I want to decide my partner by myself and wanna be free! I like myself! to her mother. And then, Her curse was broken. Penelope got a normal nose!

The end of story, Penelope visited to Max's house to tell her feeling.After all, they got marry! 

It was happy story. I recommend this story if you like a love story!
