I'm so sorry. I could'nt publish my Blog...

I took this vieio at Cub Camp. I looked this vieio first, I was so surprised. It is because, everybody can dance on this song. I never heard this song and watced this dance. They are shaking their hip. I asked someone,"why does everybody can dance on this song?" he answered "It's so easy!". I was so surprised! I tried it, I think this dance is'nt easy. Not only this song, but also other song, they can dance. Japan has'nt like everybody can dance. It'is so good for make friends. I want to learn other dance! Through this dance, I learned about American culture.

Cab Camp was so heard first. Because I could'nt understand their English. Also their English is so fast. But little by little, I could understand their English. So I could make new friends here. To spend time in CubCamp, it is my best memory.

Hello, I want you to see this movie which one I recorded. I will write about vending machine. There many vending machine in America, of course Japan is too. There are some difference between. I was surprised about that vending machine was sold snack, and games and books. We can use credit card. I heard about that use credit card when you buy something in America. They do not have any cash on them. I rarely buy drinks from vending machines, because it is more expensive than buy at the store, but many vending machine was seated in Japan. One of the reasons for the increase was the introduction of the “taspo” card, an age-verification card for the use of cigarette vending machines. According to the bank of Japan, about half of all cigarette and soft-drink vending machines only accept old notes. I learned that many kind of vending machines.

Blog Assignment #8 by Kanae

There are a lot of cultural differences between Japan and America. I have culture shock.
American people is very kind, for example I spoke to American people in bad English, they trying hard to understand what I say. If they are Japanese people, a foreigner speak bad Japanese, Japanese people say "I can not speak English." and Japanese people will run away. Moreover it is a one-way conversation. In that respect, Japanese people should learn from American people.
American people is making out in public. As for me, the heart became strong.
American foods is too sweet for Japanese people. I can’t continue eating American sweets. And American foods is amazing. There were bacons on a pancake in the cafeteria. I was surprised very much. I can’t understand this combination!!!
Many animals of lovely wildness are in America! The squirrel inhabits the tree in the site of the university. I took many photo!! My friend looked at the rabbit in site of the university today! I would also like to see a rabbit.
American life is very busy, but it is fun!

Blog Assignment #8 by Sai

I experienced many culture shock. First, I think that every Americans are so kind.  When I troubled, we taught about something easy English, for example, when I join to cob camp, I belonged in blue camp. In blue camp, nobody Japanese expect me. I could not understand people said and I can’t tell nobody. Then, we taught me rule of game.  I really appreciated what they have done. Also, I thought that we are friendly, but I learned important of ask for someone. I thought I can ask for anything. I want to be active. Japanese is polite, but Japanese is not say own opinion. I think that it is believed to be a virtue from many Japanese. However, Americans is say own opinion actively. It is big deference between japan and the United States of America. Also, I think that every Americans more friendly than many Japanese. We talk to me casualty. I feel so happy. I want to talk a lot of people. I try to everything!

I always surprised American people's culture since I came hare. I want to write three thing. First, American is not shy. Almost all American raise own hands instant when ask some questions in class or something. I always thinks about what can I say, but Americans is not thinking before, after rise hands, next thinking. It was so surprised! In my class, I try to raise my hand a lot. Also, when I went to movie night, I was so purprised, because they actioned very big and laughed loud voice. Secound, they are so friendly. Just eyes matched, they smiled for me. I always feel happy when I was done. Also, They talk about boyfriend or girlfriend. Japanese want to secret about my loves, but American is different. So I always herd my American's friends boyfriend or girlfriend. It's so fun!

Thid, they always do own best. I joined Cub Camp. I saw a lot of things. For example, they danced  in front of many peoples happened, but they did'nt shy, do own best. It is incredible for Japanese I think. So I was very fun because they did own best. I always surprised. But everything is so fun for me.

Blog assignment #8 by Akari

I experienced culture shock of course! I was surprised the best thing is while watching movies. I went to movie night,and then everyone's reaction were too big! In Japan, when we watch love seen ,we are not say something because they are shy. However,Americans said something, and it's too big voice. I was surprised it. The second thing is American is outgoing !At the Cub Camp dancing,nobody shy. I think Japanese can't dance like Americans. Especially Japanese boy can't do that. I want to dance like Americans in Japan some day. It will so fun! The similar thing, American people usually talk about his girlfriend or her boyfriend. Japanese are usually hide. Americans are not shy ,too. After all, anything are too big in America. For example,street,university,toilet,food...... Oh American food is too sweet for me. I thought American food is only meat,too many oil,but too sweet. At last,every  American boys are leafy first. It's good.

We attended New International Student Welcome Party on Saturday, August 23. I met many international students there. And while I was eating a cake and cookies, I talked. They were a lot of fun. I was able to make new friends! I focused on a cake. According to What I heard, an American cake is colorful. Moreover, I ate a cake on the birthday of my friend Sai, and it was blue just as rumored. However this cake was not colorful much! And it was not too sweet, but my friend says it was too sweet! Possibly it may be that my tongue is already an American tongue. I was also able to meet the host family. I feel relieved about the host family because they were very kind.
I idled away on the morning of Saturday, August 24. I was able to spend slowly after a long time. And then Sai and I studied in the afternoon. There was much homework and it didn’t finish easily. Studying is tough for me, but I want to work hard.

     Hello, I want to tell you about words which I learned in these days.

     The words are “encouragement”, “bookworm”, “epitaph”, “vice”, “accomplishment”, “reward”, “compassion” and “ruthlessness”. I will make a sentence with each one of them.

I think bookworm should be encouragement. Some people said that bookworm is ruthlessness, but I don’t think that one of my friend bookworm is so compassion. And she is mart. She always read about history. She often to be a vice president. Why she don’t want to be a president is traditional way of thinking. It is get out of the best place who is power. I hope her to success and epitaph to her accomplishment.

The British people are one of the human who speak about irony most in Europeans. The British people’s irony is humorous. It is difficult for Japanese people to understand their irony. Mao Asada is an incredible skate player. I haven’t seen enough of my pet Coro recently. Jeanne d'Arc led French troops to victory over the England. My life is a humble.
