My idea about education in Japan
I've lived in 19 years here in Japan and been educated as a typical Japanese student. And now I'm 19 and came to tink anout our counties' education.
I think, Japanese education is not good in terms of language education. This problem has made a lot of controversy here, this means lots of Japanese think this's not good and should be improved.
Japanese government and companies have emphasized English's importantness for our future. But the way they teach English to us is totallly crazy, wasting time and means almost nothing.
If you have Japanese friend, you may notice that they can read English but can't speak English at all! If you don't, take a look at our president in interenational council, you'll see, it's so embarassing for us though.
Of course we can't, cause we just have learned lots of words and read so gramatically made sentenses and it's gramatical structure which teachers take our 6 years. No speaking. How is it possible to speak fluently?
How's your countries' education of foreign languages? I'm really curious about it.

Last week was amazing.
Last week, I had two big plans, which are snowboarding and sightseeing in Kyoto, Japan.
First, I'm gonna talk about my snowboarding with my friends. It was the first time to snowboard so the first day was disaster...
Oh I should tell you first, it had three days in Nagano prefecture.
And the first day, it was so difficult to stand with my legs fixed to a board, maybe everyone has felt like this but it's not the way a human being have done, and its posture is totally unnatural. I was like fell over, wake up, fell over again and wake up again... My butt hurted so much, even sitting on chair was feeling like tortured. lol
It's not only my butt, knees and arms and my head as well. I just looked like pathetic from other snowboarders, maybe.
Second day was better, I practiced so much and after all, final day, I could snowboard like others. It was good experience for me to do something new.
And two days later, I was in Kyoto, it was three days trip with my friends. We were so relaxed there all day long drinking matcha and eating wagashi. That was totally Japanese way to spend daily lives. You should spend time in Japan in Kyoto.
I can say this: Tokyo is Tokyo, Japan is Kyoto. Maybe you know what I mean.
