Los Angels

(Kobe Bryant)

Hi!!

Today, I introduce one of the best NBA players to you, who plays for Los Angeles Lakers and was awarded the season's MVP in the 2007-2008 NBA season. He is also famous in all over the world.

His name is.........Kobe Bryant!!! His name Kobe is the same as Kobe city where I grew up. Kobe's parents named him after the famous beef of Kobe city, Japan, which they saw on a restaurant menu. When I knew this story for the first time, I felt close to him too much. After that, I soon became a big fun of him .

His play is so cool, excellent and is second to none in NBA league, I think.
In this summer in China, He won a gold medal as a member of the 2008 Summer Olympics U.S. Men's Basketball Team. The audience was fascinated by his play. He is super-star!

so, if you wanna watch his super-play, let's go to the L.A!!!!! You could enjoy it!!

In barcerona, there is a mysterious building. It is Sagrada Família, which is a massive Roman Catholic church under construction in Barcerona, catalonia, Spain. Construction began in 1882 and continues to this day. Here is famous in Japan. Do you know here???? I think that Sagrada Familia looks like Mont saint Michel. Both are too mysterious.

Spain is an attractive country., i think!

Tuvalu

(TUVALU)

The other day, I studied about Tuvalu in a class. I haven't known about this country before. After I knew about it, I felt that we have to think more about global warming.

Now, Tuvalu is facing a submergence crisis, because of global warming. Submergence means to be under the water. Tuvalu is located in the pacific ocean between Australia and Hawaii. Tuvalu is the fewest population country as an independent country.

Tuvalu consists of eight islands. The highest elevation is a just only 5 meters above sea level. Because of this low elevation, this island may be threatened by sea level rise. In the future, this country will be submereged by high tide.

Can you imagine that my country is submerged by sea??

i think this is so serioius problem!

Global warming cause a lot of problems.

(sea level rise)

we have to think more about our earth's future!!! i think!!

that's it!

Venetia is famous in Japan as "city of water". Don't you know that :)?? and is also as a place where is taken " Venice International Film Festival". Venice and Venetia is same, by the way.


As you could imagine from "city of water, Venetia city is built on the water.Can you imagine that you would live the city built on the water?? It is very very ROMANTICCCC! , doesn't it??
In addition, in Venetia, there is no car and bike!! traffic way is only water-boat, gondra or PEDESTRAIN!!! What a ECO it is! ....But it also cause sirious problems, because there are a lot of aged man. So, barrier-free society is being advancing. Also, Venetia is suffering from flood-high-tide. It's a too sirious :




In Venetia, there are about 150 canals. ohh!!

Do you like sports?? Do you like basketball??

I love basketball so much !!!

I've played basketball since I was 10 years old. When I was 11 years old , I knew about NBA for the first time.. Do you know NBA? It's a professional basketball league in the north America. NBA player is admired by all of basketball players,So am I.

I've watched NBA on the TV, but I've never watch on live., so I wanna go America to watch NBA on live, especially, Denver, Colorado.

Because I like Allen Iverson (A.I), who is NBA player and belongs to Denver Nuggets. His height is a only 6 ft (1,83m). People may say 1,83m is so big, but 1,83m is very small in NBA, however, His playstyle is so speedy, aggressive , good ball-handring and....handsome. He is popular among Japanese basketball player. He is my idol!!!!

I really want to watch NBA games on LIVE and A.I plays!!!!!

I want to go to PEPSI CENTER in Denver, colorado.
