He really wanted it. But He didn't know the story of the movie.
So he didn't know this ship which, has how meening. We thought this ship was very important for this movie.

After we finished to watch it, my son didn't impress this ship in this movie.
Actually we found the Durmstrang Ship, which was not important in this movie.

Anyway we enjoyed the movie.

Santa Claus
Yesterday we went to a christmas party of my older son's after school, which he goes to after finishing his elementary school every day.

Santa Claus,who my sons were glad to see , might a teacher's friend.

And Santa Claus gave the presents that made children excited.

My sons believe Santa clauses exist .

And a lot of Santa Clauses live in Santa Clause's island,which is far.

They think if there aren't a lot of Santa Clauses in the world,Santa Claus can't send presents to a lot of children.

I hope they have inccent and pure feeling forever like the hero "The Poler Express".

KWAIDAN

When I was a university student, I studyed "KWIDAN" in English class. It was written by Lafcadio Hearn (Koizumi Yagumo). He gathered old Japaneses tales. And he remade them. YUKI -ONNA is his one of the story. YUKI-ONNA's back cover image is the picture on the right. YUKI means snow and ONNA means woman. If you want to read this story, you can read at the site below.

100 yen shop
Do you know about the 100yen shops?
In Japan 100yen shops are very popular. These shops sell food, beverages,
stationery, conve ience goods and staff which are just 100 yen.
Actually it is cheap to get something.
But we should think it we need them before wWe buy them. If we get staff easily ,
You will throw away them easily. That is terirble.
And it makes Global Warming .

Anyway in China there is serious polution now.
They make a lot of things whitout considering the enviroment.

There is a lot of wastefullness.
