Which do you like to watch movies at cinema or at your home?

If you want to watch a movie, where do you watch it? I usually go to cinema. But I watch movie at my home more. Both of them, there are many good points and bad points. So I’m talking about them.

At cinema, the best point is the big screen. So it gives us the feeling of being in stories. And the sound is very good. It is more dynamics than at home. Before or after watching movies at cinema, we can enjoy buying pamphlet, popcorn and goods connected with movies. But when we are watching movie at cinema, we must mind around people. For example, we don’t relax at our seat. On the other hand, if people who are around us stretch out their legs, we would get irritated.

However, at home, we can relax while watching movie. We don’t have to mind around people. And we can watch it on my time even if it is on early morning or midnight. If we want to watch it again, we can do it. In addition, DVD has privilege pictures. It isn’t watched at cinema. But at home, we don’t watch movie with a big screen and good sound, as far as there isn’t a home theater.

Nowadays, we can see 3D only at cinema. So you may go to cinema to see it. But we will be able to see it at home at once because the science has evolved in the current world. Like this, we can enjoy watching movies with more comfortable ways. Then, which do you watch movies at cinema or at home?

Why did Tokyo Disney Resort become popular?

The last year, 2010, people who had come to Tokyo Disney resort reached 500,000,000! I think most of people love Disney. Of cause I love, too. I have been there two times last year. By the way, why do many people go to TDR? The answer is that there have many reasons. So I want to introduce some of them.

The first reason is that the staffs working there is specialist. In the TDR, the workers are said “casts.” It means that the people who greet guests give them to dreams. There are many dreams which casts give us. For example, after rained, the cleaner drew the Mickey Mouse with a broom. And we ask people who pick up garbage, “what are you picking up?” Then they answered” We are picking up the fragments of dream. Like them, the casts give us many dreams. So if you go there, you find many dreams!

The second reason is that TDR has many mysteries. There are not mirrors in the TDR. There are not watches there. There are many hiding Mickey. There are many devices. So we can enjoy there many times. We don’t get tired no matter how we go.

That the Disney resort is the dream and magic country is the biggest reason!! If you tell worker who clean garbage, “What do you pick up?” he or she would answer, “I’m picking up fragment of stars.” The workers there give us many dreams. And characters, for example Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and so on, give us dream too. So visitors always smile!!

I love Disney. And I love Disney resort, too. So I wanted to work there. But I was attracted the hotel business. I want to work near the Disney resort because I want to give the guests who come there the Disney magic in hotel.

Is it better to take risks or play it safe?

In my life, I had choices between taking risks and playing it safe. Though what advance toward the safe way is easy, I don’t grow up myself. To grow up it, I chose the dangerous way. In it, I experienced many serious things but I don’t regret. I’m talking about my big risks in my life.

In my life, the first big risk was that I decided to enter this school. I had studied to enter the university when I was in the third grade of high school. During summer vacation, I knew the vocational school, torajaru. But I wanted to be a college student, I continued to study. I had studied hard but I could not pass the entrance exam. I could have studied for another year, but I had a dream to be a hotel staff. So I decided to enter the vocational school. I gathered many pamphlets of schools, I found out ECC. When I came to ECC at the first time, I decided to enter the ECC!

The second big risk was the internship during summer vacation. I have had a dream to work at the hotel near the Tokyo Disney Resort. So I wanted to go to Tokyo for the internship. But I had a choice to work in Osaka. I thought if I had worked in Osaka for the internship, I would have regretted. So I decided to go to Tokyo! I was uneasy at the start, but I think I studied more things than working in Osaka.

The third big risk was the part-time job at the St.Regis Osaka. After I came back to Osaka, I wanted to work as a bell person. When I was looking for a part-time job, my teacher told me the part-time job there. The St.Regis is one of the high rank hotels, so I decided to work there. When I worked there for beginning, I thought to be going to feel boring to work because I couldn’t see guests. But recently I enjoy working! I feel worth work doing! If I worked at other hotels or as a bell person, I couldn’t have many valuable experiences.

There is the Japanese proverb, “What’s done is done.” This means that I am irreparable even if regret what I have done later. I think not to regret in my life. So even if I bear the risks, I would choose the dangerous ways. But I think sometimes it is necessary to choose the safe way.

My school trip to Okinawa

When I was the second grade in high school, I went to Okinawa by school trip. In Okinawa, there are beautiful corals and various animals and plants live there. And there are 160 islands of various sizes. Each of them has original nature, culture and history. So last year 5,690,000 people came to Okinawa to sightseeing.

Main island of Okinawa

The main island of Okinawa is the largest island on the southwest group of island. It has the world’s best beautiful paradise. There is left nature, history and culture that we can see only in Okinawa. The coral sea where colorful tropical fishes swim is the best beautiful view in the original nature in Okinawa. It is said that about 200 kinds inhabit Okinawa among coral of 800 kinds of world. Also the magnificent view of gathering primeval forests and mangroves is the charm of nature in Okinawa.

Miyakojima

The peculiar history and the special environment bring beautiful nature and indefatigable culture. There aren’t green, mountains and rivers. There are few kinds such as amphibians in comparisons with the other areas of the southwest islands. But there are original creatures. And there are 200 kinds of birds. Also Miyakojima is famous of diving. The sea of Miyakojima is warm in winter but there are the four seasons properly. The coral in Miyakojima comparatively has little damage in comparison with Okinawa. The beauty of the sea in Miyakojima is said only beauty of healthy coral.

Bottom of the sea remains

Things like stones or shrines sink near the sea of Yonagunijima. They remain at the spot of offing depth of the water 25 meters of the south side of Japanese small island located in the west most. They are seen artifact from their beautiful shape. Researchers have various searches about that they are true artifact or they are molding which are made by nature. But the argument about it hasn’t finished today. So the bottom of the sea remains has many mysteries.

If you want to go to trip in Japan, I recommend Okinawa. Because you can relax and feel refreshed there. In Okinawa, there are very beautiful seas and very delicious foods. And people in Okinawa are very vigor and kind of us. So I think Okinawa is paradise in Japan.
