Good Luck Cat

Do you know Maneki-Neko? It is the beckoning figure of a cat displayed in shops bring in customers. In Aichi prefecture, there are Maneki-Neko Museum. A lot of Maneki-Neko is being displayed in thins museum; we can see a lot of Maneki-Neko here. If it raise left hand, it means beckon to people. If it raise right hand, it means beckon to money. Maneki-Neko is famous in Japan. When I was young, I often see a Maneki-Neko in some shop. However, I can’t see them very often now. I think Maneki-Neko is auspicious, cute and unique. I think you can enjoy watching them. Moreover, in Maneki-Neko Museum, you can make your original Maneki-Neko! That’s nice. If you go to Japan, try to go there. Thank you!

Three Cups of Tea

I enjoyed reading the book “Three Cups of Tea”. This story was interesting, but didn’t funny story. I know some countries have problems that is about children can’t go to school. It is big problem and it is difficult to solve. I can only donate a little money. Greg who build a few school is very kind and brave. If I were Greg, I’ll give up when I was kidnaped because it is too scary. In Japan, all children can take an education because elementary school and junior high school is compulsory education. Children can take an education free; if you want to go to high school, you have to pay money for school. Japan can do this because they have enough school and teacher. In this story, there are no school, no teacher, not good environment and so on. It is difficult to build a school and manage them. This story was very touching. A lot of people tried to help Greg, it was so great and Greg did well his work. It was hard to read this English book, but it was good for me.
