Book Review 1-11 "Alice's Adventure in Wonderland"

story

There, on top of the mushroom, was a large caterpillar, smoking a pipe. After a while the Caterpillar took the pipe out of its mouth and said to Alice in a slow, sleepy voice, 'who are you?'

What strange things happen when Alice falls down the rabbit-hole and into Wonderland! She has conversations with the Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, goes to the Mad Hatter's tea party, plays croquet with the King and Queen of Hearts...

This book is one of my favorite stories. I watched in a DVD too.
especially, I like Cheshire Cat☆ He disappears and shows his body...it's very unique! I feel like having come back in childhood when I read this book. Perhaps I think there is not the person who doesn't know this story, but if there is the person who doesn't know it, please read this.

Book Review 1-10 "Titanic"

story

The Titanic was the most famous ship in history. But what really happened to it on that terrible April night in the North Atlantic? Why did it hit an iceberg? Why did it sink? Why did more than one thousand people die? This book looks at the true story - and gives some of the answers.

I like Titanic story. It's very sad story...

I have known this story for the first time is when I had watched the movie "Titanic". Of course, this movie's sad love story isn't true. However, it was enough to tell us that sad accident.

I cried when I read this book. It was true accident, not fiction. Nobody may have died if there was a boat for the number of people. Nobody may have died if captain did not give too much speed. Nobody may have died if other ship's operator noticed a rescue signal early... Nobody was listening to Titanic help. That terrible accident has happened in heap of the misfortune.

There are words tightening my heart very much. It is the words that Millvina Dean who became the model of Rose said.

"I walked there, when I was a girl..."

She said so looking the ship which sank into the bottom of the sea...
I thought movie "Titanic" drawing a fact faithfully.
If you haven't watched the movie, do watch!

Book Review 1-9 "DEAD MAN'S ISLAND"

story

Mr Ross lives on an island where no visitors come. He stops people from taking photographs of him. He is young and rich, but he looks sad. And is one room in his house which is always locked.
Carol Sanders and her mother come to the island to work for Mr Ross. Carol soon decides that there is something very strange about Mr Ross. Where did he get his money from? How can a young man buy an island? So she watches, and she listens - and one night she learns what is behind the locked door.

It was interesting! At first, I thought Mr Ross is a ghost because of it's title "dead man's island".
But really, he is Jake Rosso whom everyone thought he had died. He caused a hit-and-run accident, so he announced the death of himself to the public and changed own name, bought an island to hide, avoid people.
While read this book, I felt I'm in this story actually. It's very fantastic!!
If you have not read this book, please read☆ I recommend this book.

Book Review 1-8 "SHERLOCK HOLMES short stories"

story

Sherlock Holmes is the greatest detective of them all. He sits in his room, and smokes his pipe. He listens, and watches, and thinks. He listens to the steps coming up the stairs; he watches the door opening – and he knows what question the stranger will ask.
In these three of his best stories, Holmes has three visitors to the famous flat in Baker Street – visitors who bring their troubles to the only man in the world who can help him.
I read Sherlock Holmes for the first time. It was very fun! I thought I wish I could be a detective like him. (-u-)

Book Review 1-7 "William Shakespeare"

story

William Shakespeare was born April 1564, at Stratford-upon-Avon and died April 1616.
He married Anne Hathaway: two daughters, one son. He is actor, poet, famous playwright. He wrote nearly forty plays.
But what was he like as a man? What did he think about when he rode into London for the first time… or when he was writing his plays Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet… or when his only son died?
We know the facts of his life, but we can only guess at his hopes, his tears, and his dreams.

I like Shakespeare. I understood about Shakespeare by read this book. The house where Shakespeare was born, his rival, his life history. However, it's mystery whether he actually is in the world. It is fun!!
I recommend "Shakespeare in Love" if you want to get close to Shakespeare by a movie. It's a fiction but a interesting story. The type is sweet love story. Not difficult.(^^)

Book Review 1-6 "COLD MOUNTAIN"

story

Inman leaves the horrors of the American Civil War and begins a long, dangerous journey home to Ada, the woman he loves. Along the way, he witnesses great poverty, cruelty, and violence. Will he ever see Ada again? And she recognizes the man he has become?

This book is level 3!! It seems still early for me to read in one week... (;_;) I thought it's easy to read because I have watched this by a movie...↓↓ movie was a somber, but beautiful story. But!! not happy ending... It's a tragic love...↓
I recommend the movie than this book. (^^;) Actors also very beautiful☆(Jude Law and Nicole Kidman)

Book Review 1-5 "PIANO"

story

One day, a farmer tells a farm boy to take everything out of an old building and throw away. ‘it’s all rubbish,’ he says.
In the middle of all the rubbish, the boy finds a beautiful old piano. He has never played before, but now, when his fingers touch the piano, he begins to play. He closes his eyes and the music comes to him - and the music moves his fingers.
When he opens his eyes again, he knows that his life is changed for ever…

It was wonderful and fantasy story. I like it☆ He have not been able to play the piano since finds a beautiful old piano, but he once touched the old piano. However, once he touched the old piano, he could play for some reason.
I play the piano too. I envy him to be able to play the piano such well without doing the practice...(´m`;)

Kumamo introduction

paragraph1★Kumamoto castle

Kumamoto castle was built 400 years ago. It means this year is 400 years anniversary. They have many kinds of events, so let us introduce their festivals. From August 1st through 31st, a lot of famous music bands are coming to sing their songs to celebrate its anniversary. Several popular movies including 'Gedo-Senki' also can be watched there during the days.

paragraph2★Rosso Kumamoto

they are very strong team in JFL. Now, they are second place. When I look objectively, it is very likely that they are promoted to J2 most. They are able to afford because their condition except result satisfies and they can be promoted to J2 within the fourth place. I want them to keep condition as it is.

paragraph3★Mitsui green land

Mistsui green land is a famous amusement park here in Kumamoto. It has various attractions and I have experienced most of them. Here I introduce two thrill rides. 'Nio' is only the suspended looping roller coaster in the amusement park in Kyusyu district. It's so thrilling and I have ridden as many as three times the last time I went there. I also recommend you 'Hurricane Volt'. I think you should experience it at least once. There are many other attractions there such as 'Ice World', 'Skyship'.

paragraph4★Aso

Aso's view is very beautiful!!(^∀^) We really recommend you the fantastic place.
The present Aso caldera formed as a result of four huge caldera eruptions occurring over a range of 90,000–3000,000 years ago. The caldera, one of the largest in the world, contains the city of Aso as well as Aso Takamori-cho and South Aso-mura. The Somma enclosing the caldera extends about 18 km east to west and about 25 km north to south. I think the most magnificent view in Aso is the streaming crater of Mt. Naka. I took a big breath when I saw it for the first time.

paragraph5★hot spring

Kumamoto has a lot of hot springs. Kurokawa hot springs are one of the most famous hot springs in Japan. Because Kurokawa has high meters above the sea level, and approximately seven or eight degrees temperature is lower than the Kumamoto city, We can feel refreshing at all. In traffic possession time, it is approximately 1 hour 10 minutes by car from Kumamoto Airport.
I have gone to Kumamoto 3 times. Let me introduce my vest Japanese-style hotel in Kurokawa. "Noshi-yu" is my best hotel. There is a guest room with a fireplace or open-air bath. I stayed at the guestroom with a fireplace. There atmosphere is so good and I was able to make myself at home very much. Of course, I could satisfy with hot spring and dinner too.
If you don't stay at Kurokawa's hotel, you can take hot spring in profit. Kurokawa's good point is there is a "taking a bath bill". If you use this, you can take hot spring wherever you liked for 1,300 yen. (only 3 places)
If you have not yet gone to Kurokawa, do go there!
