My Favorite High School Memory

My Favorite high school memory is the school trip.

When I'm in the second year in high school, I went to Australia as a school trip.
I stayed with an Australian family with a friend for 3 days.
The other day, I went sightseeing to Sydney.
The family was father, mother and their 9 years old daughter, and they were very kind to us.
They took us to their daughter's concert, to an amusement ground, where I held a koala!!
In addition, we went shopping together and ate dinner at HARD ROCK CAFE.
I had a great time.

In addition, I learned many things in Australia.
For example, they don't say I "take" a bath.
They say I "have" a bath.
When I said "May I take a bath?", I was laughed.
I was taught that to take a bath means to bring a bath, and that expression was wrong.

Alhough it was my first trip to overseas, I could communicate with foreign people in English, so I was very happy!!
I thought it was worth my while to have studied English for 5years.

Trends In Japan

I think pop idols is very popular in Japan now.
At any time pop idols are popular, but now, pop idols are diversifying.
There are many types of pop idols.
For example, Perfume, which is a group of 3 girls, sing techno songs.
AKB 48, which has a lot of members, is a group that you can meet directly if you go to Akihabara in Tokyo.
Shoujojidai (girlhood in English) is a group from Korea.
They are popular in Japan.

I think idol can't make money without any devices.
Just "cute" or "pretty" is not good.
I'm not a big fan of any idols, but I think Shoujojidai is cute.

In the next 20 years...

In the next 20 years, the world will change a lot.

For example, new information technology will be created.
We may have new type of cellphones which are better than i-phone.

Especially, globalization will spread more.
Many foreign people will come and live in Japan.
Some of my friends may marrige foreigners.

However, the world will not change only in the good way.
There will be many problems about environment and cultural and religious conflicts.
I hope new technology and our knowledge will solve these problems.

Globalization

I think globalization is to share various things all over the world.
Macdonald's is one of the example of globalization.
In old Japan, we never eat meat and bread.
However, we eat them almost everyday now.
If we go to Macdonald's, we can enjoy American taste hamburgers, drinks, potatoes, and so on.
Today, people around the world can taste the Magdonals's food.
I think that is one of the globarization.
Globalization gives me new knowledge,information, culture, food, and so on.
Those affects me to broaden my horizons.
