Japanese relief equipment arrives in Pakistan

In the recent year, natural disaster happened around the world. The cause of disaster is human, so the problems should solved by human too. Therefore,
there are many policy which is about maintaining the environment of the world and reducing global warming. Some countries got the effect from the natural disaster, so we should help each countries. I found the news about the disasteron the internet.

A Japanese Air Self-Defense transport plane arrived the central in the Pakistani city of Multan with equipments and supplies, to help the Ground Self-Defense troops set up the flood-relief and people in Punjab. The flooding effected on 8.2 million people and about 500,000 residents in Punjab. In addition, the flooding affect caused an affect to at least 15 million Pakistanis and 1 million homes were damaged. Japan is planing to help the population in the area of Multan with food and medical supplies and airlifting victims by using helicopters.

I think people in every countries are friends. We should help each other from the problem. Moreover, we should maintain our world.

Japan public debt hits record high

In the recent yaears, there are many civil of economic around the world. Every countried had different problems. Japan is a country which got an effect too. I think every countries must have debt. Japan is a country which has high dept. I am interested that how it solved with this problem because it is very high rate. Then the country must maintain their credit too.

Japan's government debt had more than 10 trillion dollars in the end of June. It raised up 21.15 trillion yen from the end of March. Prime Minister Naoto Kan's government has tried to solve this problem by cutting the industrialised world's biggest public dept. It is around 200 percent of gross domestic product. He would reduce the government spending and bond issuance in a bid. Moreover, he will increase Japan's five percent consumption tax to reduce dept. However, it is not sure that this plan would success because he told about this plan and then he lost an election. If this plan fails, Japan's credit rating will be reduced by Ratings agency Standard&Poor's. Therefore, They had conferred about the tax between two party.

I feel this plan is interesting, but it comes with the problem about an election. It was hard to continue the plan when the party was changed. Because it wasn't planed by a new party. Therefore, The members of a new party must talk carefully with an old party about the plan to reduce debt.

Yen's spike a boon for some

The value of money is a parameter to tell price of produces. If the country currency is appreciating, the imported products would be much cheaper. It was normally that people must buy the goods which has lower price, but it may make a bad outcome for your country. This news is an illustration of the outcome.

Japanese's yen value had been incresed up to ¥85 per dollar. The effect of the appreciation had benefited to consumers who buy imported goods, and increased the revenue in tourist industry. On the other hand, disadvantage on the appreciation in Yen is the deflation. Most consumers always buy more imported goods than domestic goods, and the domestic income had been decreased.

I haven't known that this buying action will make a problem to country. The solution of this must solve by change in purchasing behavior.

Government land sales fall below ¥100 billion

Japanese's government owned land price has fallen down below ¥100 billion. It is the first time that the price of the land has fallen in 15 years. The global financial crisis in 2008 caused decreasing in demand for real estate. Therefore, the government changed a policy from selling to be leasing them in June. Then they would improve the nation's health and upgrade social security.

I think the strategy which changing from selling to leasing the land is a really good plan. If they didn't do any thing with this land, it will become useless land. On the other hand, if we think how to use this land to be the most useful, it will make the benefit to the country like This plan. It makes income to the government. Then they can use it to improve the country.

3D TVs research

In the recent years, 3D system is very popular around the world. Then it was imoproved to be 3D TV, and it was sold to many countries. There were a reseach about the marketing of 3D TV by the Nikkei which is Japan's biggest business daily. It had a reseach about the price of 3D TVs. The price of them in Japan was offered by 2 manufacturers which were Panasonic and Sony. The price of them decresed very fast after they was launched, but they was still more expensive than original TVs. Moreover, there were a reseach about market size of them from GFK Marketing Services Japan. The company told that the market shared of 3D TVs was smaller than their expectancy.On the other hand, the Nikkei expects the market of them will increse when Toshiba and Mitsubishi launch their models.

I have seen the movie in 3D program 8 years ago. I feel really surprised with it. On that time, if you wanted to see 3D movie, you must go to Imax theatre. It was the only place which you could see 3D movie.It was very expensive. Nowaday, there are 3D movie at many theater in Thailand. Moreover there were 3D TVs which you can buy and get it in your house. But I though it wastes of money to get it.

Dolphin's research

There was the research about the communication of dolphins by the researchers from the Umikirara Aquarium in southern Japan and Tokiwa University in central Japan. They did the research with 2 bottlenose dolphins which name are Nami and Nina. They installed a big screen plasma TVs in front of their tanks and opened a screen images of dolphins for a few minute. Then they had an effect with the dolphin in the TVs by moving their heads slowly. Scientists record their eye movement to study. If they could understand the sight of dolphins, they would know more about their evolution.

Dolphin is a social creatures. I have ever seen in discovery channel. It looks cute and friendly animal. When I saw them on TVs, I really want to play with them. It would be a great experience.

110-million-year-old frog skeleton found in Hyogo

The frog skeleton was found in Hyogo. The age 0f this skeleton was about 110 million years and it was the most complete skeleton which has ever been found in the country. Moreove, It was 13th found in the world. This is an important discovery because the researcher can use to find the history about the evolution of frog. In addition, the frog fossil was found in the same area with Tanba dinosaur fossil, so it was an information which help the researcher to know more about it.

This is an interesting discovery. There are many living-things that we do not know. It is hard to know about the past, because there were not any technology that can be recorded. The theory said that it has only the presumtion which came from objects which was found like the fossils. Then reasearchers used these to search about the living-things in the past.

North Korea wants Japan to apologise

From the AP online news, it talks about an apologize messsenge from Japan. In Japan's statement, the messenge was only talking about South Korea. In addition, North korea recieved the effects from forced labour and sex slaves during the occupation from 1910 to 1945 too, so North Korea wants Japan to write the statement that apologize to the country.

According to Japan's apologize statment, I strongly believe that japan should says apologize to both North and South Korea. It is because of avoid misuderstandings and contradictories, which can lead to conflicts and wars in the future. If these problems happended, they will cause many crisises in both countries. For example, the war begin near the important regions or locations such as Soul, Tokyo, Hanyang,Kobe, and Osaka, It will destroy the agricultural profits, kill people and built economics problems.

Model Train in Hotel

In every businesses, there are a selling point of products like the news that I found on the Internet. It is about the hotel in japan. Some hotels may have some special offering that is a highlight of the hotels such as free Internet, free breakfast etc. In addition, the hotel that I read on the Internet was a hotel in Japan. This hotel's name is The Washington Hotel which located in Akihabara in Tokyo. This hotel has model train diorama in the room. Moreover, you can bring your own model train to use on the model set or you can rent some trains from the front desk. It was good for people who love the model train. Model train is the highlights of this hotel that attracted people to come for staying. The cost of this room is $265 a night.

I think this hotel has a good idea to get the model train in the room but it was very expensive for me. The cost is $265 a night. If I change to baht, it is equal 10639 baht a night.

Toyota's Japan hybrid sales top one million

I found the news of Toyota's Japan hybrid sales which got top one million mark and world wide it had sold 2.68 million of the vehicle by the end of July. It was a really high sales. Hybrid cars use two power sources which are a gasoline engine and an electric motor. These two power sources help to save your money from the oil fuel because they were cheaper than oil fuel. This made me know that people concentrate in global warming. It was a really good way to help the world. In the present, oil fuel was really expensive, so people changed to use more hybrid cars.Moreover, the global warming's problem was a really big problem of the world. Everybody should care about it.

Japan is a country that famous in producing car. My father's business is producing part of cars such as shock up. I think that cars are neccesary for every countries. In hybird cars use auto engine which my father produces too. It is a good chance for my future because it will be my job in the future.

Transportation in Japan

In the past, Japanese traveled on foot until 19 century. There are the first railway which was built between Tokyo and Yamaha. The
transportation in Japan was improved to be good but the road was not improved too much. Because Japan has so many population, and there are limited area to use. Therefore, railway is the best way for Japanese to travel in Japan.

The other choice for people is Shinkansem. It is the high speed train which known as bullet train. The fastest shinkansen train which has a maximum speed of 300 km/h was called "Nozomi". There are about 250 shinkansen train operate everyday. Moreover, it has never been late.

The transportation in Japan is really good. I think that Thailand should improve the transportation to be better than now. It will easier to travel from one place to another place in rush hours.

Fuji Mountain

Fuji Mountain is the highest mountain in Japan. If we talked about Japan, everyone must consider to Fuji Mountain. It is a symbol of Japan. It is frequently depicted in art and photographs. This mountain is covered by snow all years. In English, the mountain is not only called Mount Fuji, but is also known by the native Japanese Fujiyama and Fuji-san.
Mt. Fuji is an attractive volcanic cone. It is a really beautiful mountain in Japan. In many picture of Japan always have Fuji Mountain in it. July and August are the official climbing season.. During these two months the mountain is usually free of snow.The travelers always climb the mountain at night because they will see the sun rising when they arrive the top of the mountain.

The Fuji Mountain is very famous mountain of Japan. It is an interesting attraction.If I go to Japan, I will go to Fuji Mountain. It must be a woderful place.

A Good Plan

Rakuten's all-English edict a bold move, but risky too

Internet shopping mall operator Rakuten Inc. will make English to be office language by 2010.President Hiroshi Mikitani though English was important to grow his company. He told that board members who can't speak English in two years will be fired. Then all meeting will be English.He wanted his employee use English to speak in the offife too. He changed many things in the office to be English. Also,Cafeteria menus are now in English.

I partly agree with Rakuten President Hiroshi Mikitani's move (to make English the company's official language by 2012).I agree with his plan to give employees a period to learn English and to fire those who can't speak it. I feel his zeal. I think he wants to change the atmosphere for employees and arouse their competitive spirit. English is important to use in every company. Many countries use English to contact the business so it is good to have employees proficient in English. Although this plan may risk to use ,but it can motivate the employees to improve their English skill.If it was succeeded, it will be good to the bussiness.

Sad News

I read Japan news on the internet and I found news about Japanese student. The topic is “English teacher used 'hangman'-like game at school where student hung himself” I think it is very large problem that the student killed himself. I feel sad with this news. Nobody knew about the cause of suicide but the way that makes he die is hanging. His parent found paper which has a picture of a person being hang (a la the game "Hangman"). Then his parent told that this kind of teaching was a problem.
In my opinion, the game may have a picture of hanging. On the other hands, the student may have the problem in his mind. The picture in the game told only the way how to suicide. I think it doesn’t because of the game that makes the student suicide but it comes from himself. If the teacher didn’t use this game in class, student might kill himself by other way.

Baseball

Although Sumo is the national sport of Japan but the popular sport of Japan is baseball. I always see baseball in the most of Japanese cartoon. It looks interesting. I have ever played softball at school.Softball is very similar to baseball. It was very fun.

Baseball is a complex game. There are many, many more rules than the ones below, and exceptions to just about every one of them.

A baseball game is played by two teams who alternate between offense and defense. There are nine players on each side. The goal is to score more runs than the opponent, which is achieved by one circuit of four bases that are placed on the diamond.

I think baseball is a really good sport. At school, I like to play this sport very much. Even if, it is not popular in Thailand but it is an interesting sport. If I don’t learn in bilingual school, I may not have chance to play this sport. I thing it should have this sport in club of school. It must be fun.

If you want to know more about this sport, you can see the information here http://www.eteamz.com/baseball/

Japan's National Sport

Sumo is a Japan's national sport. If someone says about Japan's sport, most of people will say about the Sumo. Sumo is a style of wrestling. I think it looks softer than Western wrestling. It is an original sport of Japan.

The rules of sumo are very simple compared with those of Western wrestling. There are 70 basic fighting techniques, the wrestlers fight to push the opponent out of the ring or make any part of his body, other than the feet, touch the ground. Matches last from a few seconds to a few minutes. If no decision is reached within five minutes of fighting time, a three- or four-minute extension is allowed. If there is no decision at the end of the overtime, the wrestlers must start all over again after another two bouts. Such marathon matches are rare, occurring only a few times a year.

I think this sport looks very easy to play but it must use much of power to wrest. The wrester must have strong body. I have ever seen Sumo in youtube and I think every wrester has very large body. They must have a lot of weight. If I played Sumo with a Sumo professional, I would die in a few second. It looks awesome. ~o~
