Happy Halloween!
Today is my favorite holiday, Halloween. I love Halloween because it is the one day of the year when you can be anything that you want to be. A long time ago, people thought that the souls of the dead came back to earth on Halloween. To keep bad spirits from recognizing you, you had to dress like somebody else. Today, children and teenagers go "Trick or Treating". They dress up in costume and knock on neighbors' doors, asking asking people for candy. The little children are so cute when they knock on your door.
Now that I am an adult, I go to costume parties with my friends, or go to a movie theater to watch scary movies late at night.
Anything can happen. <3
Happy Halloween!
ハッピー!??
みんなにとっては楽しい日ですか?
私は・・・
お菓子やプレゼントをもらえること、
パーティーをしてみんなで楽しめることから考えるとすごくうれしい日だと思います。
でもひとつだけやっかいなことがあります。
私、かぼちゃ嫌いなんです。
それなのにお店の料理も、学校のメニューすら「かぼちゃの~」
だからそれだけはちょっと困る日だな★;
色々な事

U.S. Presidential Election!


Have you heard about the U.S. presidential election between candidates Barack Obama and John McCain? Believe it or not, on October second, Barack Obama visited Michigan State University. There were tons of people there! Presidential candidates often travel around the country and visit places where they think they will be influential. Even though candidates travel around a lot, I was still very surprised that Obama came to my school. I had to wait in line for about twenty minutes just to get in. After I went through a security check, I was finally part of the crowd. There were so many people so I had to stand in the back. I could hear Obama, but I could hardly see him because I was so far away. It was very interesting. He said the same things he always says, but it was still cool to see someone who might become president.
During September and October, there were students walking around campus each day who tried to get other students to register for voting.
I have some questions! Do Japanese politicians visit colleges much? Also, do Japanese college students care much about politics? I go online to read the news everyday, and I like politics, but some students on campus are crazy about politics! I know that Japan just got a new prime minister—Taro Aso—do you guys like him?
On November 4 (next week)—because I’m already 18 years old—I can vote! I’m excited!
Corn Maze!

お酒
みなさんお酒を飲むのは好きですか?
私はあまり強いお酒が飲めません。ビールは私にとって苦くって全然おいしくないです。
カクテルは見た目もかわいいし、おいしいから好きです。
モヒートが最近のお気に入りです。
モヒートはラムとミントとライムのカクテルです。さっぱりしていてすごくおいしいと思います。
見た目もミントがかわいくって良いです。
あと、焼酎も好きです。焼酎と緑茶で割ると飲みやすくておいしいです。
カクテルでも、マルガリータは強くて飲めません。
メキシコに行った時も、せっかくメキシコにいるのにマルガリータは飲めませんでした。
私はあんまりお酒が飲めないから、お酒がたくさん飲める人がうらやましいです。
みんなはどんなお酒が好きですか?
