Compare knowledge from books with knowledge from experience.
Which source is more important?

Some people think that people should read many books to attain much knowledge. Others think that people should get knowledge through experiences. In my opinion, experiences are more important than reading books because they provide us three important things.
To begin with, people are able to grow up through their own experiences. For example, if you try to know about one country's culture, getting knowledge from books would be fastest way. However I think it is a passive attitude. Unlike attaining knowledge from books, experiencing is more active because you have to do some processes such as going to one place and meeting unknown people. These processes make you a more attractive person, so you can grow up yourself up through experiences.
Another reason is that experiences teach us that we should see things from various aspects. I think this is a very important thing as well as knowledge. I experienced this to know about how important it is. I went to Cambodia with my university program last summer. Before having been to there, I had learnt about Cambodia, especially land main, war and poverty. To be honest, I had some bad images toof there until I went to there. However, I knew this is was a stereotype and had seen Cambodia from one another aspect. I could find there are were good points as well as bad points there. My images to of there completely changed. I could understand that there are were big differences between learning from books and experiences. As this illustrates, we can get the ability that to see things from various points of view.
Furthermore, experiences teach us how to live in society. We can learn how to communicate with people and how to make friends from experiences. For instant instance, people do not have only a few experiences to meet other people, it would be hard to communicate with people. On the other hand, if you have more experiences to communicate with various generations of people, you would not worry about meeting people. The thing is experiences relate with our personal life deeply. We can learn important things about daily life from experiences.
To sum up, I believe that experience would be a good teacher for us. Although it is true that books teach us a lot of things, experiences teach us more things. As a result, for the above reasons, I think that we can learn many more things through experiences than books.

Way to spend time in The new year's holiday

How do you spend a time in during new year's holiday?
First of all, I'd like to introduce typical Japanese new year's holiday.

Many people watch the TV show called Kouhaku(An annual music program) at the night of year-end on New Year's Eve. This program is supposed to end just before the new year in comes. When the new year comes, they greet each other with saying "Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu". This is one of the ways time is spent at on New Year's Eve, thorough until the new year. in.

During the first 3~6 days in beginning of the new year, many people get relax_ed with their friends or families. Moreover, they visit a shrine for to pray ing to god. This is called Hatumoude. Some of them enjoy drinking all day because this is the new year's holiday.

Do you spend the time like this? Are there any different points you could say? I'm curious about it.

In America, we watch the New Year's Eve ball drop in Time's Square. Because America is in 5 time zones, they replay the ball dropping over and over again. If you are on the west coast, you get very sick of it. We also drink quite a lot here. In the US New Year's Eve is a much smaller holiday than in Japan so some people ignore it completely. 

I enjoyed reading about New Year's Eve in Japan, thank you.

In Japan, when you go out during new year days, you see many kinds of fukubukuros are being sold at the store fronts.
