"Xi an" Do you know where it is?

西安(Xi an) is one of the city of China. It is located in the middle of China and it's a old city like Kyoto in Japan.
 
There is a famous gate called 安定門. This is famous because it is the beginning of the Silk Road. Ancient Chinese people went to Europe countries from this gate. They brought silk to Europe so the road is called ' the Silk Road '. It takes 5 years to go to Rome and return. Few people could come back from Rome because it was very hard trip. So people who could do that could be rich. 安定門 is rebuilt in Tou dynasty it's about 700 years ago.

Korea #2

This time I will tell you where to go shopping in Korea. There are many cheap shops in Korea. You can buy clothes, cosmetics, accessorize and other stuffs at low price. One of famous place to go shopping is 東大門. There are many shopping mall in there. Most famous one is Migliore. Remember that Migliore is closed on every Monday because I wanted go to Migliore but it was Monday. I went to Doota instead of Migliore. Doota is also very big shopping mall and it is next to Migliore. There are many small shops in the mall. I think you can't look at every shops on one day because there are too many. it opens 10:30 - 5 in the morning!

Korea #1

this time i will write about my favorite korean food 'TOPPOGI'. do you know what is toppogi? it is kind of rice cake. you eat this with very spicy sauce. i couldnt eat it without water because it was toooooo HOT! the picture above is toppogi which i ate in korean and is the hottest toppogi ever had. there is a street where is called 'toppogi street'. along the street there are many toppogi restaurant.


this is the one (before cooked)
which i had in topogi street. 

then...


ready to eat! 
that was hot but also tasted sweet.you can order other foods which you want to eat with toppogi. i chose noodles, eggs, some vegetables and tofu. 
toppogi is very simple dish. all you have to do is put what you want to eat in a pot with spicy sauce so korean people often cook this at their home. its easy but its hard to get the spicy sauce in japan so if you want to eat toppogi go to tsuruhashi.

"EGYPT" the country i LOVE








The country where I want to go the most is Egypt because I like pyramids and I really want to see the Great Pyramids of Giza. There are 3 big famous pyramids in Giza. The tallest one which is made by Kuhfu was 145.75m high when it was built but over the years it lost 10m off its top. For 43 centuries, it ranked as the tallest structure on Earth, and was only surpassed as the highest structure in the 10 century. The structure consists of about 2 million blocks of stone and each weighting more than 2 tons.

Macau/澳門


Hello. This time, the area is MACAU. As you know Macau is an area where is famous for gambles. There are many casinos in there. The sales of casinos in Macau is higher than Las Vegas ones. That is very surprising matter because the population of Macau is a half million and thirty thousand but area is about same as setagawa ku of Tokyo.  Macau is the most densely populated area in the world. Other thing that is surprised me was there are 30 World Heritage Sites in Macau. Most of them are related to Portugal like churches and squares because Macau was colony of Portugal until 1999.


oook here are some pictures


This is the hotel called the Venetian. It has about 3000 suites.


Ruins of St. Pauls (World Heritage Site)

HK Trip.

Hello. This is the first time to write this blog. The very special first country is Hong Kong. I've been there few times and it's one of my favorite counties.I have 3 big reasons why I like HK. 

First, I like food in HK. When I went to HK one of my friends took me to the local restaurant. This dish is called '芝士龍蝦’. It's a very simple one, a lobster with cheese. You can bring a loaf of bread by yourself and can eat them with cheese. That was sooooo nicee. I really like it. I saw a unique custom at the restaurant. People in HK washes their dishes, chopsticks and glasses with hot water before they eat. I was very surprised when I saw people sat next to us begun to wash their dishes.


The second reason why I like HK is it has many beautiful spots like a night view and street with neon signs. The night view was AMAZING! You can see the lights show everyday at 8pm for 13 mins. The town is crowded whole day.


Finally, The third reason is that HK is a good place to go shopping! There is a street called 女人街. There are many street stalls. You can buy anything from cloths to wigs at low prices. There are many people in this street until very late at night. HK people never sleep! There is another street called 花園街. It's a sneakers street so there are many shops selling sneakers. Like sneakers street HK has many streets where selling specific stuff. For example, 通菜街 is the street where selling goldfish and 電脳街 is the street where selling electricity stuff. 


I've got another pics from HK trip.
