discovery in my town

I live in Rokko Island for 15yaers and go to school everyday.There is an artificial island,so we have to use train or a car to go outside through a big bridge"Rokko Bridge".Of couse we can cross it on foot.
Rokko Island is a very livable city, but I found why is it livable recently despite a long lived.
First discovery is "barrier-free". There are no obstacles Island,but needless to say, there are also many steps.So it meens that steps have certainly slop beside them everywhere. That is for disable people and old people because there are many homes of the elderly and hospitals in Rokko Island. Therefor, it is a kind city for them.

Second discovery is "Pets". In this island, we are allowed to keep pets everywhere which is not only single houses but also apartments.People who live there have many pets such as dogs, cats, and any othere animals, therefoe we can always see cute pets there,and they make us relax.
In conclusion, my home town is a refined town for many types of people. If you have a free time, please visit here!
But please attention! My town is "Rokko Island". It is NOT "Port Island"! Do not misunderstand!!

my future plan

If I can graduate this university 3yaers later,I have many things which I want to do. Ofcourse,I'd like to work at a big company as a clever bussiness man, but I have many dreams which I want to get them true certainly.
First,if I can speak English well during university life,I'd like to go to many foreign countries.There are not only famous countries such as U.S.A,Europe,Australia,and so on but also which are not known by everyone for example North Europe,Morocco,Istanbul,and more...
I want to go many places (called "Power Spot") and make many friends through English. If I can make friends, I also hold the soccer cup and enjoy playing with them.
I think that having many foreign friends is very good for my life.If I can speak only Japanese,I can't talk to only 160000000 peole.However if I can speak English, I can talk to more than several billions of people with speaking English. They make my value wdely.
In the future, to speak foreign languages is very important factor. I'd like to be a person who can communicate with any kind of peope in the world.

a good friend

I'm tell you about my good friend.

When I was 4 yaers old and moved here I live now from Tokyo, I met him for the first time. He is quarter of American and German and a very handsome boy. My and his house were very close(about 30meter),so we always play together every day.We also like playing soccer and belonged to same team for about 10 yaers.When training time was over, we often went to Korean BBQ which his father maneged and ate a lot of beef without spending money.I loved that very much! He went to American school, and always invited me to the school ivents such as school fes, Thanks Giving,Halloween,and more.Then, I couldn't speak English at all,so he tought me how to make friends in English and introduced me to his friends. This is the opportunity when I intended to learn English. He may contribute to the fact that I am this school.
He changed my life better, and we are still good friends!
Now he works as a actor,so I'll tell you about him more if he is getting famous.

high technology makes...

I'm going to write about an answer of John's question.
Today, there are many high technologies in our life, and even children can communicate with other people by internet whithout meeting them directly. It is a very useful for us actually, of couse I use internet devices every day. However, I don't think that It's a really good think. According to scientist, many children who can't write Kanji directly are increasing because of using keyboard(prediction conversion) too much. And another scientist say that young people are getting shy and not good at talking face to face because they have many times to talk with other people by cell-phone or e-mail.
I think that thses are big morden problem and we shouldn't leave them never. It is not that it is good that all becomes convenient by high technology.

globalization

About two yaers ago, I started playing the guitar(and bass guitar). At that time, I don't know about anything about it (for example, which guitar maker is famous?, which types of guitar should I buy? etc...), so I went to the guitar shop and asked to shopkeeper about guitar. He said "Fender and Gibson are very famous guitar makers in U.S.A and these are known by all over the world" .
Do you know Jeff Beck?? He is one of the geratest guitar player in the world and using Fender's guitar called "Stratocaster". And also, Eric Clapton who is a very famous guitarist, too is playing with Gibson's guitar called "Les Paul". In Japan, these guitars are used by many guitar players today. For example, Haruichi Shindo who is playing as "PornoGraffitti" is using Fender, and Tak Matsumoto(B'z) is also using Gibson. Especially Tak's guitars are all own models, and it is only five people in the world. This is a reason how much he is a great guitar player.
And of course, not only professional players, but also we can buy Fender or Gibson's guitars and play them. However these guitars are very expensive, so it is difficult for young people who don't work yet to buy them. Still, we want to have them because these form and tone are very wonderful. Of course, I want them !
Fender and Gibson, thses two guitar makers are known and used by all over the world today. This is globalization I think.

summer 2

Second, I went to Fukuoka and Saga to go sightseeing and visit my grandfather's sister with my family in first week of July. Before going there, I could get the driver's license, so I rent a rental car and drove on the roads in Kyushu myself. It was the first time to drive after getting license, therefore I was very nervous. However I was able to drive about 400~500km between Fukuoka and Saga without any accidents, so my driving skill have improved well.

By the way, Saga is our family(Ezoe family)'s old-hometown. About over 100 years ago, Ezoe was a samurai and living in Saga. Therefore my name comes from there, maybe. "Ezoe" is a very rare name, so I've never seen a person whose name is the same. However, I went to Ezoe family's cemetery and could see many Ezoe people! It was also a rare, too.

This time was a very tight schedule, so I didn't have enough time to enjoy at main atreet(Tenjin) in Fukuoka. Therefore I want to visit there with my friends by driving again.

summer 1

I'll tell you about some of experience in my summer vacation.

First, I went to many festivals (example, Asiya Summer Carnival, Tenjin Festival and so on...) and saw fireworks with classmates of IS. I had never seen such a large-scale firework festival because I was playing soccer everyday in clubteam during summer vacation until last year.So I really enjoyed and could feel "summer" through it.

Fireworks is one of the most beautiful cultures in Japan. Many types of them such as color, height, size and shape are shooting to night sky at the end of the festival, but all of them are handmade by professionals. I think that it is a very hardwork and great thing.

I really want to keep making fireworks by handmade even if IT society that almost things are made by machine is developping in the world. Japanese old cultures are great!

Ops!!

hi! Long time no see and talk. How are you??
This summer vacation was very very hot, and it is still now. How was your summer vacation? Did you go to mountain? sea? or foreign country? Were these great times?

I also did many things and had a good time during summer vacation. However, I completely forgot to write this blog!!!!!
So, I'm going to post about my experience during summer vacation by new term begins.

My good and bad points

I think my good point is to be active.
I like to move anytime, so I always start to move before thinking plans. For example, when I go to shopping on my free time, I go to shops properly without deciding places where I want to go. I want to enjoy an atmosphere at that time.
However, I sometimes weast my money to buy somethings too much because I hane no plans.
When there are many things which I want, I want to all buy them. Therefore, I spend a lot of my money too much and I'm a poor soon. This is my bad point.
I am not good at making plans, so could you tell me how to make good plans? I need your help!

My shocking experience

Yesterday, I had experience that it was a shock.

Two days ago, I went to my friend's house near the Nishinomiyakitaguti Station to see the game of World Cup(between Spain and Germany) with my classmates of International Studies. I went to there by bike from JR-Nishinomiya Station. We saw that game and stayed at his house and next morning, I was going to go to university by bike from threre. But surprisingly, someone had stolen my bike while last night!!
Because I lost it, I had to go to university by running huury, and when I arrived at classroom, 11:10 was already over. Its day was the worth.

I want to say to someone who stole my bike "Please return my bike!!".

Things I'd like to accomplish

I'd like to accomplish many things during university life and after graduation.

For example I think now, I want to go abroad and make many friends all over the world. If I can make friends, I'd like to play soccer with them. Actually I've already done similar to this in Germany and it was very exciting, so I try to play again.

Second, I want to work at a big company. After improving my English skills at university, I find a big company such as Coca-Cola, adidas, nike, and work all over the world.

There are many things I'd like to accomplish.
For these, I'll study and work hard during university life.

The person whon I respect...

Today, I'm going to talk you about this player.

He is Shinji Kagawa(21) who is a professional soccer player. I and he were taught by a same coach, so I know about him very well.

He had a high technique and strong heart since he was a child, therefor he always plays an active part in the games.
However, the greatest thing of him is to never be arrogant anytime. No matter how much even if he get many goals and win many games, he is never too proud and prepare for a next game soon.

When he was 19years old, he was chosen by national team and he got a goal in about second or third game.People knew about him since then, he has been a famous player in Japan.

Sadlly,he wasn't chosen as a member of World Cup but happily, he was decided to transfer to Dortmund which is a German team. I think he will grow up more and more!

I respect him so much.

Please support his playing!!

If I get a lot of money...

hi! onion is here!
If I get a lot of money, first I want to buy my house.

It is better to build the soundproofing wall(Bouonheki) because I like listening and playing music loudly.
And also I want a car for example, Ferrari, Jaguar,and etc. Now I'm training driving skills at driving school near my house, and I will get the driving lisence soon. I'd like to drive many places in Japan by an expensive car!


Another thing I'd like to if I get alot of money is traveling.
I've ever been to many countries for example,Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany, and England, but I've never been to the American Continent.So, I want to go there during vacation, or I want to go to Europe(Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland)!


I want a lot of money very much!Please give me money!!!

somewhere I'd like to live....

Today, I'm taking about somewhere I'd like to live.

I like living in Japan, but in the future I'd like to live in foregin country, especially London I've ever been to.
London is very big city and similar to Tokyo and Osaka. There are many kinds of sightseeing spots, shops, museums and etc..., so it's very easy for Japanese people to live there.When I went to London during the spring vacation, I thought that I don't want to return to Japan. Someday, I want to go there again and live.

Also I want to live in Germany. I've been there twice and I visited many places such as Frankfurt, koln. Germany has good location, foods, cultures,so I love it as well as London.
If I can speak German through International Studies, I want to buy a house in Germany.

Hi! I am onion724.
I'm studying at Kwansei Gakuin University.
I was born in Tokyo, and I live in Rokko Island(Kobe) where is an artificial Island now , so I go to K.G.U from there by trains and bus.
It takes about an hour and a half, it's a long way!


I lke to play soccer very much.
I have started it since 4 yaers old, so I love soccer not only playing but also watching games of Premier League, Liga Española, J-League and so on.
I want to join the soccer or futsal circle in university.


Also, I like listening and playing music, too.
I usually listen to many kinds of music such as J-pop, Rock, Jazz, Classic and more. Last yaer, I started playing the guitar, I want to join the band circle with playing soccer.


My favorite food is tomato.
Maybe I eat about three times amount of it than general amounts which people eat in life.So I will join the "Tomoto Festival"(in Spain) someday.

In the future, I want to have a jod which is using English because I like talking with foreign country people.
For this, I want to study English more and more at International Studies.
