Blog#8: First-aid treatment

Erika Okada

This summer, I attended a driving school.  During the period, I could learn a thing which was more important than driving.

There was a lesson of "first-aid treatment".  Its purpose was that we would acquire how to give first aid in case of traffic accident.  Actually, I didn't know how to do it at all before I attend the class.

Have you ever seen this?

It is called "Qmask".  It protects you from any deseases when you try mouth-to-mouth respiration on a severely injured person.  Everybody attended the class received one at the end of the class.  I always have it when I go out.  So if you want to see it, please let me know.

Now that I can give first aid, I'll actively do it when it is needed.  I hope many people learn the way to give first aid and try when someone needs it.

Blog#9 My Favorite Gadget

Kazusa Iwao

Hello.  Today I'm going to tell you about my mp3 player.
My parents gave it to me on my 14th birthday, so I've used it for more than 6 years!
It's a walkman stick produced by SONY.  New versions of walkman have already been sold, but I prefer using old one to by new one.

Two years ago, my walkman was out of order and it didn' sound at all.  I brought it to the customer center of YAMADA and asked to fix it.  Fortunately it was possible to repair and it sounded again. 

I was very happy but I was also very surprised because it cost me about 8,000yen!

Recently I don't find anyone who uses the same walkman of mine, but I'll keep using it as long as I can!

Bye :-) 

Blog#8 World Heritage

Kazusa Iwao

Good afternoon everyone!  This summer, I went Iwate prefecture to meet my grandparents.  I visited them with my sister and it had been 3 years since we visited them last time.  They live in the country, so my sister and I just take a rest to forget our hard, busy days in Tokyo.

While we were staying in Iwate, we visited Hiraizumi.  Have you ever been there? 
Hiraizumi is one of the world cultural heritages which was registered just 3months ago.  It is composed of many temples such as Chusonji Temple, Moutuji Temple and so on.

This is the outward appearance of Konjikido of Chusonji-Temple.  Konjikidou means golden-colored hall.  Maybe you think that it looks very simple and lacks dignity to call it golden. 

But!  Contrary to its outside, inside of this temple is very gorgeous!!!  Look at this picture.  Isn't it fabulous? 

After visiting therer, I become interested in world heritage.  I'm going to find some other heritages in Japan and visit during next winter or spring vacations.

I'm sure that they will take your breath away.  Why don't you visit the world heritage of Japan?

Bye ;-)



Blog#9: My Favorite Gadget

Saki Arai

   Hi! This time, I introduce my favorite gadget :-)

Do you know a bag-hanger? I like this gadget very much! I often see people using a bag-hanger in Gakushuin. This is a very cute and useful gadget!

When you don't have any space to put your bag, you can use it like this!

 I bring my bag-hanger every day and I use it at a cafe, a restaurant and a classroom.

I think it is not only useful but also cute! This bag-hanger is my friend' present :-) Its design is pretty.

You can buy it at PLAZA. I think PLAZA has many cute bag-hangers!

If you find a pretty bag-hanger, please let me know!

Bye ;-)

Blog#7 Happy Halloween

Kazusa Iwao

Halloween is just around the corner!  Are you going to dress in a costume and go trick or treating?
The bakery I work part-time started selling special halloween pie.  Hear is the photo of it.  Isn't it cute?
 

If you like pumpkin, I recomend you to buy this pie.  Inside of this pie is pumpkin.  It tastes really good and I like it!

In Japan, few people celebrate Halloween.  It is only an event especially for the mercantile agencies.  Snack makers produce  limited version flavor snacks, householdgoods stores display jack-o'-lanterns and stuffed black cats and amusement park like Tokyo Disney Land assumed a different appearance.

I don't like using a lot of money to these things because it seems that I'm brainwashed into, but I am attracted by the smiling face of this pie : )  

 Bye.

Blog#7:Trip to Kyoto

Chizuki Anzai

This summer vacation I went to Kyoto with my friends.  I had been there when I was junior high school student and this was the second time.  On seond day we went to Kiyomizu Temple.  There is a shrine profitable for love in the temple.  We went there and pray.
Now take a look at this stone.   

This stone is called Love-fortune telling stone.  If you walk safety from this stone to the other with your eyes closed for once, your wish will be granted soon.  If you can't, it will be long beforeyour love is realized.  And it is said taking advice requires you to have someone who will help you achieve your love.
That's interesting isn't it?

If you have a opportunity to visit Kyoto, try once ;)

Blog#6 iPhone5

Kazusa Iwao

Hello!  Have you heard the news that iPhone5 will be sold by au?  As you know, iPhone4 was sold by softbank.  I'm a user of au, so if it is true, I'm very happy.  This is just a rumor and we can't have the correct informations until Apple hold an event which is scheduled in October 5.

 Actually, I don't have anything produced by Apple.  I've thought that "Made in Japan" was the best and I had an idea that I should bought music players produced by Japanese companys like SONY.  But now I have a different opinion and I think Apple is not so bad.  Also, many of my friends have iPhone4 and I just really envy them : )
If you are iPhone user, please tell me your opinion about it ☆ Bye!
