Blog#5: My hometown - Nhatrang City (Thao Nguyen)

  Hello everyone! Glad to meet you again!
  I am going to introduce my hometown, Nhatrang City in Vietnam. Nhatrang is famous for its long white seashore and many beautiful beaches which include a main beach long along the city and the others belonging to many islands around. The main beach like in the picture below is always full with white sand and green trees.

Nhatrang has about 200 islands, many of them are famous destination for resorts, aquariums, entertainment activities and diving. The biggest island lies in front of the city and shields it, which makes Nhatrang bay always calm with gently flowing waves. This island now became the biggest resort of the city with a luxury hotel and many amusement grounds. Foreign tourists call it 'Vinpearl Land'. Thanks to Vinpearl Land, Nhatrang hardly meet no storms.

  Nhatrang has many universities, academic institutes in which people mainly study about the sea, marine ecosystems, and irrigation systems as well. Besides, the city also is called 'the city of hotels' because hotels are everywhere.
  You can also enjoy fresh seafood at the beach and many tropical fruits. The price is acceptable.

Blog#5: Takaido(Takehiko)


Hello, today I introduce My hometown. I live in Takaido. Takaido is in Tokyo, Suginami-ku. Takaido is famous for waste incineration plant. This waste incineration plant has a very tall chimney. I think it is landmark of Takaido. This plant burned many wastes everyday.(But now, this waste incineration plant has been stopping because to prepare for rebuilding the new waste incineration plant)
Thanks to burning the wastes, we can swim in the pool. Why?? Heat is produced by burning the waste. This heat is used to warm the water of pool. That's why we can swim in the pool. Pool is called "Takaido indoor pool", is in near the waste incineration plant. Adults 250 yen, up to junior high school students will cost 130 yen for the use of the pool.
These two buildings are near the Takaido station. Takaido is served by Keio Inokashira Line. It has only one line of the train.

The river is flowing in Takaido. The name of the river is called the Kanda River. It is very clear river, so the Kanda River is class A river! In spring, cherry blossoms near the Kanda river blooms very beautiful! Some people do the cherry blossoms viewing. This is called "Hanami" in Japanese.

If you go to Takaido, you should go to hot spring! Takaido is also famous for hot spring. This is called "Utsukushino-yu". Utsukushino-yu is in near the Takaido station. In addition,it is in front of ring road No.8. Utsukushino-yu has some kind of baths.  Large bath, open-air bath and sauna are in this place. This hot spring has the effect of recovery to fatigue, relax muscle, improve bad circulation and more. On weekdays, adult 900 yen, children are available at 700 yen. When it comes to holiday, entrance fee will be a little high. So I recommend to go to this hot spring in weekdays. :)

If you come to Takaido, you had better go to the these three spots! Thank you :)

Blog#5: Tsujido in Fujisawa (Tomoki)

 I was born and live at Tsujido in Fujisawa. There is Fujisawa between Kamakura and Chigasaki. Around there is called Shonan. There is Tsujido near Chigasaki, but in Fujisawa. The Fujisawa's symbol is Enoshima. Someone recognizes that Enoshima is located in Chigasaki or Kamakura by mistake. I want to say loudly "Enoshima is located in Fujisawa!". And my hometown,  Tsujido is known for Ono Yoko's house.   John Lennon's wife, Ono Yoko lived at Tsujido once. The house is near from my house.

Tsujido is located in red circle.
 In summer, There are many marine houses around Enoshima and people swimming in the sea. It is so exciting. We can surf, go to the Enoshima aquarium, and play beach volley. Beach valley is happening near Enoshima. Beach valley tournaments are held sometimes.
 Enoshima has legends. One of the legends is that the couple will be divided if the couple go to Enoshima. It is because the goddess who is deified in the Enoshima shrine is jealous. Another one of the legends is that the cave in Enoshima reaches of Mt. Fuji. Do you believe these legends?
 Watching this video, you can understand the form of Enoshima. 
 Tsujido has a new shopping mall, Terrace mall Shonan. This mall is connected to Tsujido station. So we can go in there without getting wet when it is rainy.  You can buy anything you want. Let's go to
Terrace mall Shonan after you go to Enoshima and the sea. This course is perfect!

Blog#4: Jason Statham (Tomoki)

Do you know him? He is Jason Statham, an actor. He is famous for The Transporter series. His looks is very cool. It is so near between his eyes and eyebrows that there is shadow. And he has a thin mouth, much beard and a big nose. Although There is not much hair, he is dandy, isn't he? I want to be like him including his nice body. He is already 45 years old. In order to keep a body, hard training and diet are indispensable. It is said that training of 6 days in a week was performed for ten weeks with navy Special Forces. Of course, it is severely restricted also in eating habits. I like his beautiful body, but I am not gay! I think he is one of the most matched suit style men. It is the atmosphere which is likely to be protected from anything.

Respecting his fashion, he usually wears jeans and sneakers. He prefers simple and black style,  so he is not stylish. His girlfriend, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a fashion model. Surely she is stylish. Please teach him what a fashion is, Rosie!

Blog#4: Shakira 's Fashion and Style ( Thao Nguyen )

Hello everyone! For the next topic about fashion and looks, I choose Shakira. 
Here is Shakira. 
Maybe you already know her, or maybe you have no idea but she is a popular star who has sold more than seventy million albums all around the world. She has won many famous music awards, as well. Shakira is known as the first Colombian singer to be famous outside the country and the highest-selling Colombian singer of all time. Besides being a singer, she is also a songwriter, dancer, record producer, choreographer, and model. First of all, I chose her for this topic because she is one of the most brightly beautiful women I've ever seen. She always looks sexy and charming in every style of fashion she chooses. Second, I chose her because she is my most favorite female singer. She has an unique voice, strong and special. She is also very talented at dancing and she can play a lot of instruments like guitar, drums, percussion, harmonica, and other traditional musical tools. 

Now, in talking about her style, I rarely see her in dark hair. Her hair is always in light color tone, blonde or light brown. She probably knows it suits her so well and it really does. Sometimes she straightens it but mostly she has it permed, especially with big curly.
Look at some pictures below.
   
This picture shows her dressing style at important events. She usually chooses dresses (long or short) with light colors. Not too fussy but very charming and fashionable. 
In other hands, the next picture below shows another style of hers. This picture was took when she was an event but she looked very near to her daily style: long black trousers and suit jacket.
The last picture I want to show you is about her stage style. She is a very talented belly-dancer and she often uses this kind of dancing in her concerts. That is why she has many belly-dance style dresses like this. It is amazing, isn't it?

 
You can read more about Shakira on her website.
Now enjoy this video and maybe you would recognize her.

Thank You!
