Festival

I like dogs. I have two Miniature dachshunds, but I love cats too. Belgium has a festival for cat parson like me.

The Kattenstoet(the cat parade) is a parade in Ypres, Belgium, devoted to the cat. It is held every third year on the second Sunday of May.
It is not clear why this festival started. It says that, in the twelfth century, an event became it I throw out a cat to mouse extermination from the top of the tower of from the Cloth Hall belfry down to the crowd, in spring and drop it, and to have done "disposal". The reasons for this are not clearly understood, but may have had something to do with an association of the cat with witchcraft.
It is stopped by cruelty, now; they began to throw a stuffed cat the top of tower.
The cat throwing is followed by a mock witch burning.
All the citizens become like cat, and walk around the downtown too.

If you like a cat, why don’t you go this festival?? You can get happiness if you can catch a stuffed cat, but I think it is so difficult, because everyone want it. In addition, we can get it from store. I think it funny.

Movie

I like watching movies. How about you? I think everyone likes watching movie, and everyone has seen Hayao Miyazaki’s movie. His new movie was shown in 2008.

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea (, Gake no Ue no Ponyo) is a 2008 animated film by the Japanese anime studio Studio Ghibli, written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. The plot is “Ponyo is a mermaid. One day Ponyo escaped her home, and she meet a boy named sosuke. Pyonyo become love him, so she tries to change human.” This movie seems for children, but it is not true. This movie is produced on like life and death and samsara and so on, various themes. This is the movie which I am made to think about very much.

Optionally, the song of this movie is very famous.(Gake no Ue no Ponyo) Everyone has listened to this song. There was the boy who sang this song in a restroom after a movie was over. I think that it is the song which it may be easy to understand.

I watched movie with my old friend and my younger brother, he still child. I thought it great and he thought too. This movie makes elder to older fun. If you has not seen it, why don’t you buying a DVD?? Ponyo will makes you happy.

My summer vacation

I went to Taipei in Taiwan during the vacation. At first, I went to centrer airport. I spent 3 hours to get there. When I got to Taiwan, I felt hat and sticky. I found all of a notice written in Chinese character. Almost all the people, looked like same as Japanese, but I think they are more active than us. First day in Taiwan, I was surprised by many motorcycles on the road. I have never seen such a huge number motorcycles, and they drove so rough. Sometimes they drove motorcycle on a sidewalk, that so amazing. Taiwan has the tallest multistoried building called “Taipei 101.” This is a building with 101 floors plus 5 basement levels. I went up top floor, it was so nice view, and many buildings seem very small. I ate noodles as a dinner, this noodles made from rice, it was tasty. Second day, I walked around in Taipei city. Taipei has many huge buildings. A guide told me Taiwanese love to build huge building. There were so great buildings, so I love it, especial ly like a figure of “Sun Yat-sen.” He was so tall!! Third day, I met my classmate Chiaki when I eating some breakfast. I amazed it. She was staying same hotel!!!
That's amazing!!! In the evening, I went a market, and I ate on-the-spot foods. It was so good. I spent nice in Taiwan.

“Atkins Diet"

I’ll introduce one of great way of losing weight.　　　　　　　　

Dr. Robert Atkins is a doctor of the circulatory system and famous diet guide too. He wrote a book “New Diet Revolution.” This book is taught us about “Atkins Diet.”
People are consumption in this order. “alcohol→glucose→fat→proteins.”
“Atkins Diet” suggests cutting down your intake of carbohydrates. We can eat fats and proteins.
Taking water and dietary fiber are important too.

This is DATA of compare “Atkins Diet” to “Low Fat Diet”.

Atkins Diet” has many benefits, but it has some problems also. In “New Diet Revolution” introduces some recipes, but it made American food. It is so different from Japanese food.
If you want to lose weight, why don’t you try?
