Movie review of Mrs. Doubtfire
I watched Mrs. Doubtfire today. It was shown in 1993 in the United States, and it was also shown in 1994 in Japan. It was directed by Chris Columbus.
There is a family in this movie. The father is Daniel. He worked as actor and dubber, but he quitted it and Robin Williams acted him. The mother is Miranda. She is working as interior director and Sally Field acted her. They have three children. The oldest kid is a girl and her name is Lydia, second kid is a boy and his name is Chris, and the youngest kid is a girl and her name is Natalie.
One day, Daniel took place a party and he was planning to finish it before the mother comes home but she came home very early and she got very mad, and they argued very violently because the father always quits his job and he always does as he wants to do. After their argument, they decided to divorce thought Daniel did not want to divorce. When Daniel and Miranda went to a court of justice, it was decided that he can meet his children on only Saturdays. He couldn’t be satisfied about it, but he had no job, and he had no place to live, so he could not change the decision. One Saturday, when he is having a dinner with his children, Miranda happened to come to his room. She told that she has a plan to hire a housekeeper. He really wanted to be with his kids, so he changed his voice and called her to make an appointment to take a interview. The day of interview, he went to friend’s house. The friends are very good at making up, so he asked them to make him a woman. He wore a special facial mask and he wore a special body suit and he became an old lady. The old lady is Mrs. Doubtfire. When she goes to take the interview, Miranda liked her, and she decided to hire her. He got another job. It is the job of TV Company. When he is working at night, he found some toys of dinosaurs, and he played with it as he like. He could not notice that the president of the company is looking at him, and the man talked to him. He said that he has very good skill, so he asked him to go to dinner and talk together about new TV program. The other day, when he is working as Mrs. Doubtfire, he is asked to go to a dinner with Miranda and her kids, but the day is the day of appointment with the president of his company, so he tried to refuse the offer but he could not. That is to say, he made double booking. The day, he tried very hard to make it, but finally, he made a big mistake and all the people knew who Mrs. Doubtfire is. Miranda got very mad, and when they went to a court of justice, the decision was decided. It is that he can meet his kids only on Saturday and there must be a keeper. It was very strict decision, so he got really sad. The other day, when his kids are watching TV, Mrs. Doubtfire is on a new TV program, so they feel very happy but they also feel sad. Miranda decides to hire him as Mrs. Doubtfire, and the family became very good family again.
I thought this movie was really good. This is comedy movie, so I could really enjoy watching this movie. First, I tried to watch this movie in English with English subtitle, but it was a little too difficult for me because there were a lot of words that I didn’t know, so I watched this movie in Japanese with English subtitle. I could really enjoy seeing this movie. I liked this movie very much.

I thought that this movie is not so fun to watch because I thought this movie is just a love story and I do not like such kind of movie, so I thought that. After finish watching this movie my image was broken. This is not just a love story but this movie includes action and comedy, so I really could enjoy watching this movie. I watched this movie in English with English subtitle first, but there are a lot of English words that I didn’t know the meaning of them, so I watched the movie in Japanese with English subtitle again. It was very good movie so I could enjoy watching. I think this movie is very good movie, so I can recommend this movie to many people who have never watched this movie.

The things that we can not do in the United States
My topic of report of Kaigai Kensyuu
I chose this topic because I think it is very important for us to know them, because we are learning English and we have a lot of chances to go to the United States compared with other students who are not studying English. If we don't know the things, we may be going to tuck our tail or we may be going to make American people angry, so I think that it is very important for us to know the things we can't do in the United States.
I know that we can't make a noise when we are eating soup, we can’t belch, but there are not many things that I know about the things we can not do in the United States and I know some things that we can not do in the United states, but I don’t know the reasons why we can not do it so I will research and I want to know them well.
In Japan, there are many things we can't do. For example, we can't point other person, and there are many things we can't do with chopsticks because we use it when we eat meal. For example, we can't pass things with them, this is called Watashi bashi in Japan, the reason that we can not pass the things with chopsticks is because we pass the bones of dead person who was cremated in Japan, so it is bad thing in Japan, and we can't stick foods with chopsticks, this is called Tuki bashi in Japan, the reason that we can’t stick the foods with chopsticks is because when we pray, we give foods to dead man with sticking chopsticks, so this is bad thing in Japan. There are many other things we can't do with chopsticks in Japan because we use chopsticks when we are eating meal. In this way, there are many things we can't do in Japan, so I think there must be many things that we can't do in the United States, but we don't know them well, so I want to research and know them well. I think the people who live in the United States use forks and knives, so there must be bad way to use them. I want to research them.
By researching this, I think that I can know not only about the United States but also Japan, so this is very good chance for me to think about not only about the United States but also about Japan. I will research the things we can't do not only in the United States but also in Japan and I will compare.
How to research
I will research in advance with Internet and I will not to do the things we can't do in the United States. I also research the things we can't do in Japan and I want to tell them to my host family.
In the United States, I will ask these questions to many people, and I will compare these things.
I want to make this research very good and I want to make Kaigai Kensyuu very good.

The things that we can not do this in the United States
I asked some people who were my host family, teachers, and my friend’s host families in the United States about the things that we can not do with knives and forks when we are having meal in the United States. There are a lot of things we can not do with chopsticks when we are having meal in Japan, so I thought that there must be many things that we can not do with knives and forks in the United States, but their answers made me very surprised. Almost all of the people answered that there are nothing that we can not do with forks and knives. It made me really surprised. My host father said that the United States is the country of freedom, so the people in the United States can do whatever they want to do, except bad things. They also said that it is not bad, but to have spoon as babies do is not so good they said. I felt it is very strange that Japan has a lot of bad ways to use chopsticks but America has no bad ways to use forks and knives, but I thought that is the difference of the way of thinking of people of the country.
When I was eating steak, I always have fork with left hand and knife with right hand, and I cut the steak not changing the hands, but in the united states, when I was doing that, my host father asked me that I am left handed. I answered no and I asked the reason why he asked the question. He answered that in the United States, if the man cut something knife with right hand, when the man eat it, he put the knife on the table and move fork from left hand to right hand. It also made me surprised.
Result
As a result of my research, there are a lot of bad ways to use of chopsticks in Japan, because Japanese people use chopsticks when they have a meal and they worry about what other people feel and think about them. However there are no bad ways to use knives and forks, because American people treat freedom, so I think they can do however they want to do, but some people said that to have spoon as babies do is not good they said.
This result is very interesting I think, because the difference of thinking between American people and Japanese people is appeared there. I think there must be some differences between other country people and Japanese people, so I thought I want to research that and I want to know that too.
Sentiments about Kaigai Kensyuu
I decided to participate to this program to improve my English ability and to know another culture. I had learned about other cultures in classes, but I had never been to foreign country, so I had not experienced other cultures. I had experienced a lot thing that I had never experienced, and I could talk with many foreign people with English. I think it made my English ability improved, and I could improve myself, so this program was very good for me. I could make friend with a lot of foreigners, so I could improve my English ability talking with them with joy, so it was very fun for me to practice English.
I also could know some American cultural manners. For example, if nobody is in the bathroom, we have to keep the door opened, not all American people wear their shoes in their house, when they eat rice they put batter on their rice and so on. They made me very surprised.
Anyway I could know a lot of new things through Kaigai Kensｙu program. I had experienced culture shock and I could learn about another country’s culture. They were very good experiences for me. This past summer vacation was the best summer vacation for me.
I chose this topic because I think it is very important for us to know them, because we are learning English and we have a lot of chances to go to the United States compared with other students who are not studying English. If we don't know the things, we may be going to tuck our tail or we may be going to make American people angry, so I think that it is very important for us to know the things we can't do in the United States.
I know that we can't make a noise when we are eating soup, we can’t belch, but there are not many things that I know about the things we can not do in the United States and I know some things that we can not do in the United states, but I don’t know the reasons why we can not do it so I will research and I want to know them well.
In Japan, there are many things we can't do. For example, we can't point other person, and there are many things we can't do with chopsticks because we use it when we eat meal. For example, we can't pass things with them, this is called Watashi bashi in Japan, the reason that we can not pass the things with chopsticks is because we pass the bones of dead person who was cremated in Japan, so it is bad thing in Japan, and we can't stick foods with chopsticks, this is called Tuki bashi in Japan, the reason that we can’t stick the foods with chopsticks is because when we pray, we give foods to dead man with sticking chopsticks, so this is bad thing in Japan. There are many other things we can't do with chopsticks in Japan because we use chopsticks when we are eating meal. In this way, there are many things we can't do in Japan, so I think there must be many things that we can't do in the United States, but we don't know them well, so I want to research and know them well. I think the people who live in the United States use forks and knives, so there must be bad way to use them. I want to research them.
By researching this, I think that I can know not only about the United States but also Japan, so this is very good chance for me to think about not only about the United States but also about Japan. I will research the things we can't do not only in the United States but also in Japan and I will compare.
How to research
I will research in advance with Internet and I will not to do the things we can't do in the United States. I also research the things we can't do in Japan and I want to tell them to my host family.
In the United States, I will ask these questions to many people, and I will compare these things.
I want to make this research very good and I want to make Kaigai Kensyuu very good.

Kill Bill
Yesterday, I watched Kill Bill. It was shown in 2003 in the United States and Japan. It was produced by Miramax Films and it was directed by Quentin Tarantino.
The story is this. One day main character Black Mamba (Uma Thurman acted) was having her wedding, and suddenly some people who are the members of assassination group DiVAS and the leader of the group is Bill. They came to the wedding and Black Mamba was assaulted. Some people were killed and she was almost killed. After that, she have been sleeping about for four years, and when she got up, she thought her baby that she had when she was assaulted by the member of DiVAS. She decided to revenge on Bill and the members.
There were some famous actors and actresses in this movie. Uma Thurman is shown as Black Mamba who was a famous assassin and she was almost killed by Bill and his members, and she decided to revenge on them. Lucy Liu is shown as Oren Ishii who was a member of DiVAS and she is very famous boss of Japanese gangster, she is good at using Japanese steel. Shinichi Chiba is shown as Hattori Hanzou. He is very famous actor in Japan and he acted a man who was very famous and best steel maker but he retired and he run a Sushi restaurant in Okinawa. Chiaki Kiriyama is shown as GOGO Yuubari who is a body guard of Oren Ishii. She is very famous actors in Japan too. There are some more Japanese actors in this movie.
There are so many grotesque scenes in this movie, for example a man was cut down his head, some people were cut down their arm and some people were cut down their ankle, those scenes made me feel bad because I don’t like to see those grotesque scene. There are animation parts in this movie that the parents of the one of the member of DiVAS were killed, I thought it was good because I have never watched them in other movies that I have ever watched.
I was looking forward to watching this movie because I have never watched this movie and this movie is very famous in Japan, but I was disappointed. To tell the truth, this movie was so boring. There are so many grotesque and violence scenes in this movie, and I don’t like these scenes, so I was so bored. I have never watched this movie even in Japanese, but I watched this in English yesterday, so there are many parts that they were very hard to understand for me, so I felt it boring more. Anyway, I don’t like this movie, so I know there is Kill Bill 2 but I don’t think I want to watch it and I don’t recommend watching them.

Book review 2-03
This week I read WYATT'S HURRICANE, THE CROWN OF VIOLET and The Picture of Dorian Gray. I will write the review of WYATT'S HURRICANE. This book is about a big hurricane, I chose this book because when I was choosing books I found this book and when I was in the United States, this past summer vacation, a big storm came to the city where I stayed and a lot of trees were knocked down, so I became to be interested in this book and I decided to read this book.
Wyatt is the name of main character of this book and he is a young weather scientist. One day a big hurricane. Mabel was coming to his town. His boss and other people were not worried about it, but he was worried. He felt strange, and he was right. Mabel came to his town and it made the town damaged. He and his friend were almost killed sometimes, but they could be alive somehow.
This book was a little long to read for me. This book was not so interesting, but not so hard to understand.
I didn’t know that the name of hurricane is the name of women, so it made me surprised.

Toy Story
Yesterday, I watched Toy story. It was showed in 1995 in the United States, and it was showed in 1996 in Japan. It was produced by Pixar Animation Studios, and it was directed by John Lasseter.
There are three main characters in the movie they are Andy, Woody and Buzz Lightyear. Andy is a little boy who likes toys very much, and John Morris acted his voice. He has a lot of toys in his room and he always plays with them. His favorite toy is Woody, and Tom Hunks aced his voice. Woody is a toy of caw boy, and he can speak when his string which is his back is pulled, and he is a leader of Andy’s toys. Andy’s toys are alive and they always don’t move when Andy is in the room, but when he is not in the room, they move. The day of Andy’s birthday party, his toys are worried about new toy’s coming, because if new toy is very good, he might be going to be excited about it and he might be not going to play with them, so the toys gathered and had a conference and their leader, Woody made some small green soldiers go scouting. They had a trouble, so they couldn’t know about Andy’s birthday present, but when he came to his room he was so excited and the toys knew what Andy’s birthday present and why he is so excited. The present was a very new and high geochronology toy, Buzz Lightyear. He is a toy of space ranger and he had some special functions, so Andy is so excited. Buzz didn’t notice that he is a toy and he believe that he is a real space ranger, so Woody said you are a toy, you are not a real space ranger but Buzz didn’t hear that. Andy always played with Woody, but after Buzz came to his room, Buzz became his favorite toy, and Woody always plays with Buzz, so Woody was jealous over him and Woody didn’t like Buzz very much. When Andy and his mother went to Pizza planet to have a dinner, his mother told him to bring only one toy with him. Woody knew that before he come to his room and he though that Andy would take Buzz instead of he, so he thought that if Andy can’t find Buzz he must be going to take Woody, so he tried to throw Buzz from the bed to the under the bed, but accidentally Buzz was dropped from he room to out of the house. Other toys thought that Woody did that on purpose because Woody doesn’t like Buzz so much, so they blamed him. When Andy came to his room, he couldn’t find Buzz, so he took Woody to Pizza planet with him instead of Buzz. When Andy and Woody went out for the dinner, Buzz found them and he rode their car. Woody was worried about Buzz might be dead, but he was alive. When they stopped at a gas station, they had a fight and they both dropped from the car. Woody was so sad and depressed because he thought he lost, but he found a car of Pizza planet and they could go there. Woody found Andy but Buzz went to another place, so he had to go there, and they went into a crane machine game and they were caught by Sid. He is a boy who is living next to Andy’s house. He is a bad boy and he always breaks his toys and Andy’s toys know that so all the toys don’t like him and they are afraid of him. They were almost killed some times, but they weren’t. Buzz noticed he is not a real space ranger but a toy when he was watching TV in Sid’s house. When he knew that he was so shocked and he didn’t want to do everything. Next morning is the day of Andy’s family’s moving. Andy is very sad because his favorite two toys are missing. Buzz was almost killed with rocket, so Woody and Sid’s toys worked together to save Buzz and they could save buzz and punish Sid. After that they said bye to Sid’s toys and pursued after Andy. They ran so hard but they couldn’t catch him, they use RC but the battery of it was run out, they were so depressed but they noticed that they had a rocket. They fired it with Buzz’s helmet and they pursued them again and they could catch him and Buzz could fly. Woody said we are frying now but Buzz said they are not frying but they are falling with style. Anyway they could catch Andy and they became best friend. I have watched this movie some times because this movie is very famous and popular in Japan, but I have never watched this movie in English, so it was a little difficult for me to understand what they are speaking. They speak so fast, so I couldn’t hear that through I watched the movie with English sub titles, so I thought that I have to improve listening ability more. Anyway, this movie was really interesting. I knew that there is Toy Story 2 but I have never watched it, so I want to watch it in English.

New muffler!!
I got a new muffler of my motor bike yesterday. Its muffler was broken in a traffic accident few weeks ago, so I had to buy a new one. The muffler of motor bike is very expensive, so I decided to buy it on the internet auction. I found very good muffler and I could buy it very good price. If I buy it motor bike shop, it is about 140,000 yen, but I could buy it about 50,000 yen!! I was so happy!! I’m really satisfied with it!! I’m really looking forward to running with the new muffler!!

My new hobby!!
My new hobby is BMX. Do you know BMX? It is a bike but it is not normal bike. It is so tough, so I can do a lot of things with it. I started it last week, so I can not do it very well, but I always practice very hard!! It is so tough sport, but it is so interesting sport!!
The picture is my BMX!! It was about 40000 yen. It was not so cheap, but it is very cool, isn't it!?
I was so shocked!!
On last weekend, I went to Tawara Yama to go for a touring with my motor bike at night. I went here at night because I heard that the view from Tawara Yama at night is very beautiful from my older friend of my touring team, so I went there to see beautiful view.
There is side road which we always go, so I went into the road. When I went into the road, the thing was happened. There was a chain, but I could not see that because it was so thin and there was so dark, so I could not see that and I was caught it and I was dropped from my motor bike.
When I saw my motor bike, I was so shocked because my motor bike was scratched and broken. It could not move, so I was pushing and walked to the big road. It took about 1 hour. It was so hard for me because my motor bike is very big and it is about 200 kg. To repair it, I have to pay about 300000 yen. It is too much for me. I have to work very hard and I have to save money!!

Book review 2-01
This week I read three books. These are SKYJACK, Justice, KIDNAPPED, and I will write the review of SKYJACK because it was the most interesting I thought.
I chose this book because I thought this book might be good. First, there are two main characters in this book, one is Carl and the other one is Harald. They are in the same airplane and the airplane was skyjacked. Carl is the husband of the country which the skyjacking was held, and Harald is a police officer and Carl’s friend.
The requests of the criminals were to be free their two companies from the prison which is near the airport, and to refuel the airplane to go away to another country.
The president of the country had to do very difficult decision, because there are not many people but also her husband, so she tried to think the best way to solve the problem. When she was thinking, first man was killed, and the criminals found her husband was in the airplane and who is that, so her husband was almost killed. She decided to receive their request to save the people, but she was not stupid. When their company goes into the airplane, soldiers threw some grenades which sends out very strong flash light, and many soldiers go into the airplane. In this way, the skyjacking was solved.
This book was very long, but I could read this book very easily because this book was really interesting. I like this book, so I recommend you to read this book, if you are interested in this book.

8/20 Graduation!!
Today, our graduation was held! It was so wonderful, great, impressive, emotional and touching! I can't explain how wonderful it was in the words!! The graduation was the best graduation I have ever been to, I think. I could give some presents to my English teacher, Anita, but it was so impressive. When I gave her the presents, we could have a short conversation, and she said "I think you are like my son, and I'm proud of having been able to teach you. If you will come to the United States, please visit to me!!" When I heard it, I was so happy and glad, and I could not help stopping my tears. I think she is the best English teacher all over the world. I really respect her!! Her teaching was really good, so we could improve our English ability. I really appreciate her. Thanks to her I could improve not only my English ability but also myself. I learned a lot of things from her. Thanks to her, I could get my goal!! It is to study abroad to the United States!! Thought her class, I got confidence on my English, and I thought I want to improve my English more. So I decided to aim to study abroad!! I know it is not so easy, but I have a dream, so I can do my best to come it true!! I want to visit her, if I will be able to study abroad!! I think she is the person who has had an influence to me the best!! After the graduation, my host family took me to dinner. We went to Italian restaurant, and it was really really good!! I got full and I could have very good time with my host family!! After we got home, I gave them a little present I made. It is a board their names are on it in KANZI. I'm not good at writing and KANZI, so it was very hard for me. I consulted my dictionary again and again, and I made it. They looked happy, so I was happy. After that, we talked a lot and they went to bed, and I'm writing this blog. Through this home stay program, I have experienced a lot of things I have never experienced. These things made me tough and improved me. I think I was really improved through this 1 month. I will never forget my memories I got her, in the United States. I'm really satisfied with them!! Then, I will go back to Japan, but I didn't prepare for going back to Japan, so I will go to my room!! Have a good day!! See you soon!

8/18 OAKLEY!!
Today, we went to zoo in the morning. But it was not s o fun. There were not so many animals, and I'm not interested in animals, so to tell the truth, it was a little boring. After that, we went to Mall of America again!! My bag was broken, so I bought new one!! It is from OAKLEY!! OAKLEY is very famous brand and my sun glasses are from OAKLEY!! The products of OAKLEY are very cool, but very expensive. My bag was about 150 dollar. But I am really satisfied with it!! I'm very very happy now!! Tomorrow, I will go to Mall of America with my friends again!! I have not bought souvenirs yet, so we will go there to look for souvenirs!! What do you guys want as souvenir?? Then, have a good day!!

8/17 VIP!!
Today, we went to down town, Minneapolis to meet a Very Important Person of the United States. His name is Walter Mondale and he is a person who was a vice-president of the United States and an ambassador of Japan. He is so important person, so we had to wear suit. I was chosen to ask him some questions, so I have had a lot of butterflies in my stomach. When I asked him some questions, I could speak well, but his answer was a little difficult, so I had a difficulty. But I have never talked with such an important person in English, so it was very good opportunity and very good experience. After the meeting, I was praised many people, so I was so happy!! Even Mr., Mondale praised me!! It became a very good memory for me!! I took a picture with him, so the meeting was very good!! After that, we went to down town to play a game. The game is called Scavenger hunt, and we had to look for some places and we had to take some pictures. We didn't know the places, so we asked many people. The people were so kind to us!! Today, I could talk with a lot of people in English, so today was very good day for me!! Then, have a good day!! See you!!

8/16 Long time no see!!
Hi everyone!! Long time no see!! How have you guys been doing?? I wanted to keep my diary but very big storm came to our town, and we lost power and our telephone line has been dead, so I could not use internet. So, I will write my diary today!! So, if you have time to read, please read them!!
FRIDAY On Friday, I talked with my host sister who stole my money. She has been to camping, and she came home on the day, so I finally could talk with her the day. First, I asked her why she stole my money. And she answered this "I don't know, it's from my emotion and I can not stop it myself. It is very difficult for me to stop stealing money as it is very difficult for the people who smoke to stop smoking. It's like a habit." It made me very angry, and I said many bad words. I talked with her and her parents (My host parents) about two hours, but I could not forgive her because I thought she did not regret it. After that, I, my host father and youngest host sister had to go to South Dakota, so we left home. It was about 9:00 pm. And it took about 4, 5 hour to go there, so when we got there; it was about 2:00 am, on next day. So we went to bed soon after we got there.
SATURDAY On Saturday morning, my host father woke me up at 6:30 am, and he said "Kazuki, we have to go home!! Big storm came to our house, and a lot of trees were laid down!! So we will leave here 8:00!!" I could not believe my ears, because the trees were so big, and we came to South Dakota the day!! But it was real. We left South Dakota 8:00 am, so I stayed there about 6 hours. It was very hard for me. It took about 5,5 hour to go back home because of traffic jam. When I got home, I could not believe my eyes. A lot of big trees were laid down. We have to cut these trees and bring these trees. It was very tough work for me.
SUNDAY On Sunday, we woke up early in the morning, and we started to work. Some of my host family's friends came to help us, but there were many trees and those trees were very big, so we had to work all day long. It was vey very hard work for me, but I could many American people, so it was very good experience for me. After that, we had a small party with the friends. It was so fun!! I had many hot dogs. Those were very tasty!! I thought I like this country!!
MONDAY On Monday, we went to Wave Pool in the afternoon!! It was really fun!! The waves were very high, so I was almost drowned sometimes. But it was really fun!! I could enjoy swimming with my friends!! So it was very y good memory for me!! When we were going back to school, I was so tired, so I was sleeping. The day was really really good day!! I want to go there again!!
TUESDAY Yesterday, I watched "PIRATE of CAEIBBEAN" with my host family on DVD. I have never watched the movie, so it was very interesting!! There were some words I didn't know, so I watched the movie with consulting these words in my dictionary. It was difficult for me to understand all of the story, but I could understand almost. It was very good movie, I thought. I watched 1st yesterday, so I will decide to watch 2nd and 3rd when I got to Japan!! I heard that to watch movies in English is very good for studying English, so I will do that!! I will study hard to be able to speak English much better than now!!
WEDNESDAY Today, we took our last ESL class. I like the class and my teacher, s oI feel sad. My friend was crying. We talked with her a lot today, so today was very good day!! Thanks to her class, I could improve my English ability, and I knew many things. So I really appreciate her!! I want to see her someday again, and I want to talk with her my improved English!! So I will keep practicing English very hard!! I really enjoyed your class and your class was the best English class I have ever taken!! Thank you very much Anita!! See you again someday!!
These were the things which were happened in the days which I could not use internet. If there are some people who read this diary all, thank you very much!! Then, see you!! Have a good day!!

8/10 I was very glad!!
Today, I got very glad!! Because my English ability was praised again!! Yeah!!!!! When I was talking American assistant, she asked me whether I have ever been to foreign country except this program, and I answered "No, this is my first time to visit to foreign country, but why??", and she said "Your English is really good, so I thought you have been some countries. I have never seen the Japanese student as well as you, so I am so surprised!!" It made me really glad and happy!! I think my English ability was really improved through this home stay program. So I am really satisfied with it!! From tomorrow night, I may be going to South Dakota. It is very far from Minnesota. There is my host family's grad father's house, so we will go there. My host father said that it will take about 4 or 5 hours to go there. To tell the truth, it is very troublesome for me. But I have to go there, so I gave up. I may not be able to use PC there, so I might not be able to keep diary, but when I come back, I will make my blog again!! Then, see you!! Have a great weekend!!

Today, we went to Walker Museum from afternoon. I'm not interested in arts, so it was very boring. I could not understand why they are worthy. I also thought I can make such a thing!! So I can be a great artist!!! Anyway, it was really boring. So I stopped looking around, and started to play "BARITITTI". It is very hot play among us!! I played it again and again!! It was very fun!! It was much more interesting than to look around in the museum. At night, I helped my host father to make his garden better. I dug ground very hard!!! There are a lot of rocks and concrete, so it was very very hard job for us. After we finished it, we were getting sweat!! But it was very fun!! Then, I will go to bed!! Have a good day!! See you!!

I asked a lot of questions, so I was praised by some American teachers!! I was very happy!!
These days, I really think that my English ability was improved. I am speaking English even when I am dreaming!! And even when I am alone in my room, I am always using English. I think that is very good for me!! I will go back to Japan with my really improved English ability!!
See you!! Have a good day!!

7/30 Sunday!!
Today is Sunday, so I didn't have class!! They say that Sunday is the day to relax, so I slept so much, so I'm a little bit tired now. In the morning, my host father took me to church. I have never been to church, so it was my first time. The church was very very beautiful and big. There were a lot of people, and I greeted many people. They welcomed me, so I was happy. All the people in the church were so kind!! After that, we came home, and had a hot dog for a lunch, and relax time was started!! I slept for about 4 hours, and it made me a little tired. And at evening, my host family's friend's family came home and small party was held. I thought "OUBEIKA!!", but I'm in the United States, so it’s true. Today, I thought that to be able to go to school is very happy, because to go to school is much more interesting than to stay home all day long!! So, I'm really looking forward to going to school tomorrow!! I like to go to school because I can talk with friends!! See you!!! Have a good day!!

7/29 Mall of America!!
Today, I had no class, so I helped my host father to make his garden in the morning, and after that I went to Mall of America with my friend and his host family. My friend asked his host family to take to Mall of America together. Do you know what Mall of America is?? It is very huge shopping mall!! It was so huge!! It is as twice or three times bigger as HIKARINO MORI!! It made me surprised!! All the things there were cheaper than Japanese those. I wanted buy New Era cap, but it was too big for me. A funny thing was happened, when I was trying on. When I was trying it on, I put my cap on the rack, and after that I looked for my cap, but I could not find it. I looked around to look for my cap and, a American boy was trying my cap on!! It was so funny!! After we looked around the mall, we went to a theater which is in the mall!! We watched "TRANSFORMER". It was good, but I thought I have to practice English more, because to understand English of movie was very difficult. Many people laughed at the movie, but I could not understand why they were laughing. So I will practice English harder!! Tomorrow, I will help my host father to make his garden to, so I must be going to have muscle pain on Monday. Have a good day!! Work hard. GUSTO member!! See you!!

I will give her it on this weekend because we are having her birth day party on this weekend. I hope she will be glad. And a very glad thing was happened today. That is my host father asked me this "How long have you been studying English, Kazuki", and I answered " I started to study English when I was a junior high school student" and I asked " Why", he answered "You can almost understand what we say, and you can speak English well, so we are surprised".

About this class!!
I think this class is very good chance for me to learn how to make my blog and to improve my English ability.

I enjoyed reading other people's blog and writing my blog, and I read a lot of books which is written in English. It was not easy for me but it was really good for me to improve my English ability.

Blue ticket!!
I got a blue ticket yesterday again. It is from police. I went back to my home town yesterday and I was running a little fast (74 km/hour). Suddenly, some police came to in front of me, and I was caught. I had to pay 12000 yen!! It was very expensive trip.
Yesterday's part time job!
Yesterday was very hard for me. I had a part time job, and I went to deliver to a lot of houses. Whenever I work, I usually go to under 10 houses, but I went to over 15 houses yesterday. It was very very hard for me.
Book review 1-15
Today I read this book 'STAR REPORTER'.
The main character of this book is a son of news paper editor, and he was asked to look for something interesting to his father's newspaper.
One day, he knew that a new beautiful girl came to his town, and he wanted to see her. When he was looking for her, he found. She was very beautiful girl with red hair. Her hobby is to take photos and she wanted to sell her some photos to his father's newspaper company.
He was always making some mistakes and she took them with her camera, and she sold them to his father.
This book was very easy to read and very interesting. I recommend you to read this!!

20 years in the future self introduction
Hello. My name is Kazuki Ishibuchi. I am 40 years old now. I have 5 members in my family. They are my wife and my children. My wife is as old as I and my children are two sons and one daughter. My oldest son is 15 years old and he is a junior high school student. My daughter is 13 years old and she is also a junior high school student. My youngest son is 10 years old and he is a elementary school student. They are very energetic and they all like sports. They are very good children.
I have a job which is to trade the parts of motor bikes. I like English and motor bikes, so my job is very good for me. I sometimes go to the United States and to check the motor bikes, and buy some parts of motor bikes. To customize motor bikes is very hot among young people in Japan now. It is very glad for me.
My hobby is also to ride on a motor bike. I have two motor bikes, one is CBR600RR and another one is Harley Davidson. CBR600RR is very fast, and I have wanted it from when I was a university student, so I am satisfied with it. I will keep riding on a motor bike forever.

Aso!!
I went to Aso some days ago with my friend, Fumiya, because my friend, Yuuki is working at a convenience store which is at Aso. It was very far, so it took about 30 minutes to go there. It was not convenience store for us, because it was very far!! When we were going there, there were few lights, so we were worrying that we were on the right way or wrong way. When we found his convenience store, we were excited!! We were satisfied with being able to see him. It was good touring. We also found a stag beetle!! It was very good day!!
Fast touring!!
Last Sunday morning, I went to touring with my new motor bike. On the day, I woke up at 6:00 and I went out from my home, and I went to Amakusa. I was planning to go there with my self, but I met a biker in front of a convenience store and I went to touring with him. His bike is CB1300 Super Four, so it was very fast touring, we ran very fast (about 170km/hour), so I was very tired, but it was very interesting!! I really enjoyed the touring!! I want to run with him again someday!!

Book review 1-13
Today I read this book 'Give us the Money'. This book was very interesting. I enjoyed reading this book.
A main character of this book is Adam and he works at a bank. One morning he was dreaming he is like a hero. He woke up and he thought that everyday is same and nothing exciting ever happens, but the day is not same.
When he was going to his work place, he happened to meet bank robbers, and they crashed, and he missed to take his bag and he took the bank robber's bag, so they want to catch him.
The day became very exciting and dangerous day for him.
This book was easy to read and very interesting, so I recommend you to read this book.

Book review 1-12
Today, I read this book 'Girl on a Motorcycle'. I chose this book because I like motor bikes, so I had interest on this book.
First, a man met a woman at the hotel. He thought that he knew her. Next morning, he watched news about super market robbery, and he thought she is the robber, but he was wrong. The robber was not a woman but a man. The robber wore fake hair.
This book was interesting, but to write book review is difficult for me because this book is a little complex, so if you have interest on this book, I recommend you to this book. This book is easy to read, so I recommend you to read this book.
My favorite movies!!
My favorite movies are Wild Speed series. The movies are about street race of very fast customized cars. A lot of very cool and very fast cars appear in the movies. When I watched the movie for the first time, I was very excited and I really enjoyed watching the movie. I like cars and motor bikes which are very fast and customized, so whenever I watch the movie, I can always enjoy watching the movies.
The cars in the movies are very cool, so I think the people who have interest on cars can enjoy watching the movies. The drivers in the movie drive cars very well. I think they are very brave and great because they drive cars as if their cars are their body, so I respect them.
I want to have a car which is very cool and very fast as the cars which appear in the movies someday. I really like cool cars and motor bikes.
Anyway, I really recommend you to watch these movies if you have never watched these movies. These movies are very exciting and great, so I think you must be able to enjoy watching these movies. These movies are really great.

My new motor bike's name is CB400 Super Bold'or. It is best motor bike among 400 cc class. It was very expensive, but I 'm really satisfied!! I want to go many places with it!! I'm looking forward to riding on the new motor bike!!
Heavy rain!!
It is raining so hard now in Kumamoto, so I can not go home because I always come to school by my motor bike. I like motor bikes better than cars, but when it rains, I feel cars are good.

They were so cool!! I was so exited!!
If you have interest in the motor bikes, I really recommend you to watch this movie!! You must be excited and you must become want to ride on a motor bike!!
I really like this movie!! This movie was great!!
Book review 1-11
Today, I read 'POLICE TV'. I chose this book because I thought this book is interesting and easy to read.
To be stolen purses were happened on one street many times, so two police officers want to arrest the man or men who stole the purses. They looked, but they could not find the man, so they used Police TV. Police TV is security camera. They could find the man who stole the purses, but the man is not only a man but also couple. They thought the man is only one person, but they made a mistake. They could catch them with using POLICE TV.
This book was interesting and easy to read, but this book is complex, so it is a little difficult for me to write book review, but this book was good.
Yakiniku Party!!
I had Yakiniku Party with my friends last week!! Yakiniku means barbecue. I ate a lot of meat!! I had very very good time!! We bought so many meats, so we could not eat all of them. We were all full!! We enjoyed, so I want to have it again!!

Book review 1-10
Today, I read this book 'TAXI of TERROR'. I chose this book because the picture of this book was good, I thought.
First of this book, the main character got a cell phone from his friends because he will change his job and he will move another city. They had a party the day, and the party was finished late. He was going to his home, but he could not find a taxi. After he walked a long road, he finally found a taxi, so he took the taxi. He was so tired because he had a party and he walked a lot, so he slept in the taxi. When the taxi stopped at a traffic light, a man suddenly come to the taxi holding a gun. He was a famous bad man. The main character didn't notice because he was sleeping. After he woke up, he could not understand the situation. He used his new phone from his friends and he called to the police, so the bad man was arrested at the airport.
This book was very short, so even I could read this easily. This book was interesting. I thought I also want to buy new phone!!

Yesterday!!
The part time job of yesterday was too bad. Because it was raining had, but I had to go to deliver with motor bike. I was very wet. Yesterday was very hard for me.
Torque!!
Torque is the name of movie. I watched this movie on TV yesterday. I wanted to watch a movie which is about motor bikes, and then a friend of mine recommended this movie for me.
A lot of cool and fast motor bikes appeared in this movie, but to tell the truth, this movie was not good, because a lot of CG were used in this movie, so I don’t like this movie.
Please tell me if you know good movies which are about motor bikes!!

Terry Fox is a man who ran a long distance marathon for children who has cancer with an article leg. When he was eighteen years old, he was a good student and a strong athlete, but his happy time stopped in March, 1977. One day, he was running to his house, he stopped suddenly for his pain of his leg. His mother looked out the window and his family took him to the hospital. Terry had cancer in his leg and there is only one answer. It is to amputate his leg. His doctor operated and he got an article leg three weeks later. Terry went home few weeks later, but he was often thinking about the children with cancer in the hospital. He thought “Only money can stop the pain”. He remembered a story about a man with one leg in the New York Marathon. Terry said “I can do that; I can run across
