Sushi Academy

Sushi is a famous Japanese food. I choose this topic because I like sushi. This topic is about school that teach how to made sushi.

Sushi academy is the school that teach you the right way to make sushi. some people think it is easy to make a sushi but actually it is not easy to made sushi. They will teach you from the basic how to do it and how to prepare Japanese food. If you graduate from Sushi academy, you will get the diploma from the academic. Beside academy in Tokyo, Sushi Academy also have in another country such as California and London.

I think it a very good idea for people who love sushi or like Japanese culture to go learn in this school. Moreover, in my opinion sushi business will be very success because of the sushi boom.

Mount Fuji and well known is an symbol of Japan is the highest mountain in Japan with 3776 m or 12388 ft. A lot of people from every country go there to see Mount Fuji each year.

Japan Transportation

I choose this topic because this is a very interested topic for me. Almost every country in the world have a traffic problem that include my country Thailand.

Japan is one of the first country that consider about the car problem and try to solve it. Tokyo is one of the busiest city in the world and with the densely population. That made traffic jam is the big problem in Japan. The high-speed rail is the solution. The Shinkansen or "Bullet Train" is the most famous high speed train in Japan. Services started in 1964 with speeds at 210km per hour and it's getting faster every day. Right now speed record is up to 433 km/h or 277 mph.

I think a speed train is a very good idea. I believe that with a today technology it with improve the speed of speed train. Moreover, it will very useful in Thailand and the government should build the high speed rail in Thailand to solve a traffic jam problem.

Climate Pollution

I choose this story because I think this is a very big problem and effect to our world. This article is about the climate pollution in Japan.

WWF suggested Japan to reduce the volume of Carbondioxine. Japan had a lot of factories that released a lot of Carbon with out control. To solve the world climate, every countries in the world must do as the same thing in the same rules, WWF said. WWF sened the massage to the Prime Minister Hatoyama to join WWF but Prime Mnister Hatoyama had said that he isn't agree with the WWF because it will be problems to the economic.

In my opinion, Japan must join the WWF to solve the world crisis before there will be no place for Japan to do business.

Tuna crisis in Japan

http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_6280000/newsid_6287600/6287617.stm

I choose this article because I think it is a big problem and the government should solve it very soon. This article is about the tuna crisis in Japan. Environment experts in Japan say that number of tuna is become very low, and very dangerous to extinct. Campaigners say that people in Japan and also people around the world kill too many fish. They say that fisherman should get a lower limit on the number they are allowed to catch a fish. They are also suggest about a "worldwide tracking system" to prove a tuna that got caught come from. That would mean people couldn't fish for a tuna in areas they're not allow. I think this is a very serious problem and the government should do somethings about it quickly before a tuna get extinct.

300,000 Mazda cars are recalled

The reason why I choose this topic because it was quite a big new in past few days. Mazda was recall more than 300,000 Mazda 3 and 5 vehicles in North America to fix the problems about the power-steering system that could lead to crashes. It cover about 215,000 cars in US and about 100,000 cars in Mexico and Canada. They said that, "this problem make it difficult for the driver to steer the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash." The company said that they did not received any reports about an accident or injuries that cause from this problem yet. I think Mazda did the right thing for recall all of the car before it cause a serious problem. And lucky for the company and a customer that nobody got a serious injure from this problem

Utada Hikaru

http://www.japantoday.com/category/entertainment/view/utada’s-blog-receives-1-million-views-in-24-hours

This article is about Utada Hikaru the famous Japanese singer and song writer. I choose this article because I am a fan of her music.

The 27 years old, Utada Hikaru had announced on her blog on the last Monday that she will suspend her music activities for infinity period of time. This is very shocked her fans around Japan and also around the world. She has a many hit single that in the bill board chart such as come back to me , merry hhristmas Mr.Lawrence(FYI).

I also shocked about this news also. However, I did understand her because she start her work when she was teenage at the age 16, and had a very busy and hard life. Maybe she just need some rest and live like normal people.

Giant Panda Gave Birth a Twin for Second Time

This news is about the Panda in Japan and I think many people like a Panda. The nine year old panda, Rauhin gave birth to a female and a male baby pandas on Wednesday at Adventure World Zoo in western Wakayama, after mating naturally with a panda that brought from China. This is her second time after she gave birth a twin two years ago by conducted artificial insemination.

However, this time the new babies were born by natural mating by Rauhin and Chinese male panda. And this is very difficult to happen because giant pandas usually have a mating season only about three days a year.

Right now are only 10 giant pandas in Japan, and eight of them are in the Adventure World. They all belong to China.

The reason that I choose this topic because I interesting in UFO and supernatural things. This article is about UFO in Japan. Japanese guy saw strange object on the sky and he caught it by his camera phone. They said that the picture of UFO are getting more and more every day. Also, the picture or a video of UFO quality today is getting better that ever because of a technology in camera today. However, no official expose of UFO files has occurred in Japan yet. I think maybe it not an UFO. Maybe it's just a weather balloon or a strange looking plane from Japanese government.
