Recently women have a stronger right than past. Especially, I believe that teenager women and middle age women have powerful opinions. Do you know gyaru? They are Japanese female teenagers who wear hot fashion. In general, their behavior is bad. They sit in front of convenience store that is 24 hors stores. And they hang out until midnight. Even police ask them “Don’t do that,” they never change their style, and argue them. They don’t have responsibility for their life, and they don’t care what are they watched by people. So they can do anything what they want to do. In the meantime, middle age women are also vigorous. In general, when they get disadvantage, they do very strong argument. For example, in the restaurant, if they got someone’s hair or something wrong things in their dishes, they argue waitress or waiter. “It is too rude, and I don’t want to pay for this dish. You should give us something advantage.” They are lost to shame, and they don’t feel scare anything. Therefore, if gyaru and middle age women fight, which will win? I think middle age women are stronger than Gyaru because they have mare knowledge than Gyaru. However, if men take part in this battle, they will help Gyaru because they like young women. Therefore, middle age women will become little weak. But they are really strong I believe because they have big network. If they will strike, Japanese society would stop. And people who help gyaru would apologize them. So I can say middle age woman is stronger than Gyaru.

Unique food!!!
The strangest food for me is ant with covered chocolate!!!! I ate it here in Carbondale, (same time as Anna, in last term’s EAP2 core class.) First, when I saw it, I thought that it was weird.L But when I ate it, and the taste was totally white chocolate.J Some of my classmate ate worms, and they said, “It is delicious” and “Give me more.” I could believe it because ant was also delicious. But I didn’t eat the worm’s one because the looks was so weird. Why we ate these insects in core class? The reason is that we were learning environmental problems this time. And we learned that insects have a lot of proteins, so we ate insects. However, I may not buy these eatable insects because there are many food that have proteins and visual is so nice in grocery store. I’m glad to come here because I can try much kind of international foods. I love to challenge everything. So I tried a lot of food that I cannot try in Japan. Most of them I liked, but I cannot eat goat curry that is from Jamaica. When I went to Miami, my host family made it. They made a lot of Jamaican foods, and most of them I liked, but I cannot goat curry because its smell makes me sick. However, I’m glad to eat goat because I cannot eat it in Japan. I will leave here soon, so before I leave here, I want to try many unique foods. Also, before I come back to Japan, I will go to Mexico, so I want to try unique Mexican food.

My life was priceless...
If I would die tomorrow, I want to write in my epitaph "My life was priceless."Although some people think that we can buy experience with money such as sightseeing, but I think that experience is wealth of life, and we can not buy experience with money such as making friends. Terefore, if there is a person who has a lot of experiences, he or she has great wealth. In my case, I had a lot of experiences till today. The biggest experience is coming to America. Thanks to this studying abroad, I can get many adventures. I want to introduce some experiences. First, I could eat American foods that I can not eat in Japan. I live in Neely, so I can eat American foods every day. Even I'm tired of these foods, I enjoy eating that. Second, I could get on a plane by my self and I could go many places by my self. Before I came here, I had never book and get on a plane by my self. But after I came here, I went to Miami and Spain by my self. I can gat confidence because of these experiences. Third, I could meet many people, and I could be friend with them who come from all over the world. Before I came here, I had never talked to other countries' people except American. But since I came here, I could talk to Chinese, Korean, Saudi Arabian, Taiwanese, and so on, and I could learn many different cultures. So I can say I had a lot of experiences and I was very happy. I really apreciate my parents because If my parents didn't allow that I go abroad, I can't have these experiences. So I want to tell thanks to my parents. I beilve that my perents' hapiness is my hapiness, so I want to write in my epitaph "My life was priceless." This phrase includes these means that "I was very satisfied my life," "I was glad to born," and "I apreciated my parents."

Gosurori
I will introduce "Gothloli" that people who wear "Gothloli" fashion. What is "Gothloli" fashion? It is mixed "Gothic and Lolita" fashion. "Gothic fashion" is a clothing style that is influenced by medieval Europe. People who wear "Gothic fashion" like black color, so they use it a lot. For example, they wear black clothing, dye their hair dark, use black eye shadow. The style stands for devil, vampire, and death. On the other hand, "Lolita fashion" is a clothing style that is influenced by Rococo era that is 18th century in France. People who wear "Lolita fashion" like pink, white, and frill; therfore, they look like little girls. The style stands for lovely, pure, and virgin. People who wear "Gothlolli fashion" like black and frill, so they wear balck dress with frill. The style is influenced by not only "Gothic" and "Lolite", but also visual kei that is a kind of band who wear fancy clothing and making up. Most of them are young women. They are not admitted by most people like Otaku. Thus they can't go to school or work with the fashion. Most of "Gothloli" people wear that just for fun. If you visit Japan, you can meet them especialy in Tokyo and Osaka. Recently foreigners pay attention to the fashion, so many foreigners visit Japan to get the clothing. In Japan Expo at Paris, the "Gothloli fashion" are introduced, and the fashion are imported from Japan. I'm glad to be accept Japanese cultuer in foreign countries.
