Do you like gohst stories?👻

Do you like ghost stories? I've liked ghost stories since I was kid.

 I often listen to ghost stories on YouTube. However, recently I'm into listening to ghost stories on podcast.  Podcast is only voice, so I can concentrate on the stories. Also, it's interesting a point that the stories can be interpreted in various ways. When I have a school, I commute from Nagaoka to Niigata. I listen to the stories, so it doesn't feel that long. My favorite ghost storyteller is Murakami Rock, Iyama Ryokichi and Yama Yu. Try listening to it when you have a time.

By the way, I like ghost stories, but I get scary easily😅

Busy weekend...


Last weekend, I was very busy, because I had so many things I need to do. I took the Chinese exam called HSK on last Saturday.  It was held at Niigata university asahimachi campus. I took the exam with my father. I was very nervous, but I did my best! If I passed the exam, I would tell you! After that, I ate Tenshin-han at the Niigata station. It was delicious!!

Last Sunday, I worked hard to create slides and manuscripts for CLIL. I didn't get much rest last weekend😭

Global Festival🌎

 


Last weekend, around the world festival held near the Nagaoka station. I went the festival last Sunday. It was sold food and objects all over the world. I ate "Hokkien mee" of Indonesia. It tasted like seafood stir-fried noodle. It was delicious!! Also, I drunk a cup of Chai. If the festival is held again, I would like to try the food of other countries.

My favorite songs🎼


This week, I introduce songs I've been listening to a lot lately. I like listening to various music genres. I like J-POP, C-POP, R&B and Western music. I often listen to C-POP in the morning. C-POP is pop music in greater China. My top two favorite songs are" Unrequited Love" and "What's wrong with love". The pronunciation of Chinese songs is really nice.


Also, I introduce Chinese rap song. My favorite a Chinese rap song is "Chinese". The song was released in 2007. It's a little old, but I recommend it.

If you're interested, please listen to these songs!!

The Shinkansen🚄

 


This week I tell you about the view from the shinkansen. I take the shinkansen to school from Nagaoka city with my friends. I took the photo on Tuesday at am 7:30. That day, my town was covered in fog. It felt like I was flying in the sky!! It's so hard for me to get up early, but I like morning because the view is beautiful!!

Chinese exam📖

 


Recently, I have been studying Chinese hard because I am going to take a Chinese exam in November. The exam is called HSK. It is held twice a year in Niigata. I have taken the exam once. However, I’m a bit nervous because it’s been a while since last time and it is more difficult than last exam. SALC has a lot of HSK texts, so I often borrow them. Also, I can concentrate on studying in the place.

If you're interested in Chinese, I want to talk to you!!

【UP1】Reflection of Ms. Burtz's presentation

I learned that Ms. Burtz project has many benefits. First, regional revitalization told local people who cannot find attractive points of local. In addition, trail running is not only gathering people from outside, but also it serves as an international education site. I found that Ms. Burtz’s a project has positive impacts on all participants.



What most left an impression was the motive for her interest in social issues. She was shocked to see street children in the Philippines. At the same time, she became interested in social issues. I believe that we can understand the social issues of the region in the truest sense of the word by going to the region, just like she did. Thus, I would like to try working in an overseas NPO.



I was surprised that she has a goal to build a library. She held trail running in order to achieve this goal. She had collected funds and spread the region’s appeal to people who were unfamiliar with there.

She accepted brainstorming and she thought about what the local people wanted. I think that’s the most important thing, so I would like to add brainstorming to our group activity. By thinking outside the box, I think we can steer our project in a good direction. I would like to make a project in which the local people will work together.



My daily life influenced by her presentation. I learned that passion for what I want to do is very important not to waste time. In the future, I want to make a living doing what I love. Thus, I want to figure out what I want to do with my university life. And now the time is right, so I’m going to try various things and expand the possibilities.
