My Summer Vacation Plan!!

I will go to Myanmar!!!

Look at this website for information about Myanmar in simple English.

http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myanmar

There are some wonderful temples in Myanmar.

Look at this one!!!

This is called Shwedagon Pagoda. It is the biggest Pagoda in Myanmar.






This is the night view of the same temple.







There are some strange customs there.

For example, people chew Betel nuts.

People put the nuts into a leaf and chew them.





But it makes their teeth become red.

And they have to spit out the juice.

This makes the ground red also.

In some places you can`t spit out the juice.

Also there are many old cars. this is a bus in Myanmar

But the food is very nice.

This is mohinga. It is noodles with fish soup.

Mohinga is so good. I eat it everyday in Myanmar!!!

I want to eat mohinga now.

In Myanmar they have a water festival. When it is too hot people have a party and throw water at each other. It looks like so much fun! I want to try it!!!

Grave of the Fireflies

Grave of the Fireflies is a shocking movie.
In this movie, Seita (14) and his sister Setsuko(4) become orphans at the end of WW2. They are sent to live with thier aunt. Seita was too proud to live with his aunt so he took Setsuko and lived alone.
This moive is based on the true story of the author Akiyuki Nosaka. He wrote the book "Grave of the Fireflies" because he felt guilty about is actions toward his sister.
Watch this movie! You will cry a lot. it is so sad!
