Diary: Tetsujin-28 in Nagata, Kobe(August 26)

Today, I went to Kobe to do some shopping. I often go to Kobe. :)

Kobe is not far from Osaka. It takes 30 minutes from Osaka by train. And I like Kobe Bbecause there are beautiful harbor and beaches, a beautiful harbor, China town, and old Wwestern houses.

After I finished shopping, I went to see the monument of "Tetsujin-28" in Nagata. It's made of steel and is 15.39 meters tall and weighs 50 tons. "Tetsujin-28" is famous and is the first giant robot in a Japanese manga. He stands as a symbol of revival after the big Earthquake in 1995. I took a picture with him! He is big, isn't he? :)

And I ate Chinese food in China town for dinner. It was yummy!

I had a good time! ;)

Good job!

"there are beautiful harbor and beaches" - ここでの文法規則はちょっと複雑だと思います。まず、are と beaches は複数形だけど harbor は単数形ですね。もし、harbor を複数形にすれば、"there are beautiful harbors and beaches" で、もし、beaches を単数形にすれば、"there is a beautiful harbor and beach" になります。でも、こういう風に複数形と単数形を交ぜてはいけませんと思います。複数形と単数形が両方あるから、are は複数形をとって、are の直後にも複数形を使わなければなりませんので "there are beautiful beaches and ..." で始まります。最後に、beaches と harbor の時制は一致してないから、beautiful を繰り返さなければならないと思います。それで、結局、"there are beautiful beaches and a beautiful harbor" になります。

""Tetsujin-28" is famous and is the first giant robot in a Japanese manga." - I added 'is' to make the sentence grammatically correct, but I think ""Tetsujin-28" is famous for being the first giant robot in a Japanese manga." sounds more natural, but the meaning changes a bit, so I didn't want to make that correction above.
