Especially, 126 wild birds including 40 sea birds are observed.

That is why the cold current from the Antarctic and warm current from the Pacific Ocean meet each other and it is the place where the weather can’t settle. It is often badly hit by a heavy storm.

FestivaL-Autumn-

I want to tell you about Halloween. I like Halloween because we can get some candies when we are children. It is called “Trick or treat". I'm sure that everyone know this festival! It is too famous festival in the world. Of cause Japan,too!!

ABOUT ★HALLOWEEN★
It is a traditional festival that is held at October 31th. The day is the previous day of All Saints’ Day (All Hallows). It is called Halloween because the day is eve of “All Hallows”.
The end of a year for Celt is October 31th and the day was believed that the ghosts could visit some families or the spirit and the witch could haunt. They put on a mask and burned a fire of charm because of protecting themselves from those. That is the origin of Halloween.
Today, the night about 31th, the children who dress up as the witch and the ghost visit the whole neighboring house with singing as “trick or treat”. They held Halloween Party at their house.
Halloween’s theme is eerie and horrible things that include the death, the zombie and the sorcery. The character related to Halloween is the ghost, the witch, the bat, the black cat, the goblin, the banshee, the devil, Dracula, the vampire. The traditional Halloween’s color is the black and orange. “Jack-o’-lantern” is the symbol of the Halloween. We hollowed white turnip, nick and light it by candle from inside.

I have ever seen many sad love stories, and those are sometimes a main character would die and could not see each other forever. But this story is they must break up in spite of living. Why did they have to break up? I think it is love to partner. I’m sure that everyone watched this movie considers what is love, and treasures just now, this moment.

He despaired she would forget him like strenger. She was scared of losing her memories. She knew he was hurt. She decided to break up with him because she hoped he could forget her and would be happy. But Chul-soo didn’t forget her and went to her. End was…….you watch it by yourself.

☆SOY CURD / TOFU☆
Tofu is food which made from soybean mainly. It was once food of China and it was introduced to Japan in Nara period. It has a lot of textured vegetable proteins. And it has only little calories, so many people like eating this as healthy food.

●The food makes the beauty is Tofu●
Many women wish to keep young, smooth skin forever. Tofu is best food for those people. The cell of skin is made by the protein. The cell always changes new one the cycle of one per four weeks. So we must always supply the protein. But if we take animal protein, we assimilate fat, too. And we secrete surplus fat from our skin, and our pore open larger. So tofu is good for women who want to keep a smooth skin.

Processed Food
Egg Tofu, Sesame Tofu, Milk Tofu, Soy milk, etc…

☆Soy Milk☆
Soy milk is said “drink of soybean”, because all constituent of soybean remain except dietary fiber. It is strong to heat so we don’t worry about losing that ingredient. And we cook it on food or dessert, not only drink it. We cook easily with soy milk. If you don’t eat tofu every day, you should drink soy milk. Let’s drink soy milk and get nice body! please look at recipe.

☆Interesting Information about laughter☆
There is an effect of relaxing feelings because it acts on parasympathetic and it is said to be good for our health to laugh.
First, as a physical effect, it relieves our stress because of abdominal breathing, and it makes us the psychological condition that can be relaxed.
Besides, a hearty laugh demonstrates a full effect in blowing off our stress. When we laugh out loud, stomach muscles and diaphragm strengthened.
Then the more we laugh, the more we need oxygen. Taking a lot of oxygen into our body becomes aerobics, and becomes exercise not inferior to sports of the job and soccer, and so on.


☆Comedy & Other Funny Stuff☆
The movie is about a certain caster does not stop laughing during weather forecast. She is going to restrain a laugher but she is not able to restrain it after all. I don’t know whether this movie is real weather forecast or not. I don’t understand what makes her laugh that much. I can feel bright when I watch her. Even if language is different, I laugh at what she says with her even if I don’t understand it.
