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.
