I did research on Wikipedia.

I found out some information about it and I made a quiz.

Queen with Whistles

Airbus A380

Last summer, I went back to Ireland to visit my parents.

I flew from Tokyo to Frankfurt, Frankfurt to Dublin.

From Tokyo to Frankfurt, I flew on the Airbus A380.

This is the largest passenger airliner in the world.

It is also called the "Superjumbo".




This airplane is much quieter than other airplanes and the ride was very smooth!

I could relax even though I only had a cheap ticket.

I thought that this airplane would use too much fuel but it uses 20% less fuel per passenger than other airplanes.

More and more people are flying every year.

But all of the airports are already full.

And it is difficult to open new airports.

The only other choice is to have bigger airplanes!

Religions in Ireland

Origins of Japanese words

Where do Japanese words come from?




Most Japanese words come from China.



How about English?


At one time, England was ruled by France.

This is why there are so many french words in the English language.

Also, many scientific words come from Latin.

This is why there are so many foriegn words in English.

iPhone Videos

I like to make videos with my iPhone.

Here are some videos I made recently.

The first 2 videos I took at the "World Festival" in Kichijoji.

They had food and music from many different countires.

This music is from South America.

It is called "Samba"







The next video I took somewhere in the center of Tokyo.

I forget exactly where.

Tokyo has a lot of high technology!




I took this video in Fuchu!

They are singing Soul music.

Everyone was so excited.

It is rare for people to become so excited in Japan.

They were very good singers!




This video is also in Fuchu.

This is traditional Japanese dancing.

Fuchu has so many festivals!

We can see this kind of dancing often in Fuchu!

Yesterday`s Suprise!

Yesterday I had a big suprise!

I was in Shinjuku.

I was at the Magic card shop.


I bought some nice cards and then I went home.

My apartment is in Fuchu, so I use the Keio line.



Shinjuku station is the last stop for the Keio line so many people get off there.

I was lucky, I got a seat!

On the seat I found a chain and locket.

I picked it up.

On the way from Shinjuku to Fuchu, I wondered, "This locket looks very nice. Maybe I will keep it!"

But also I thought "NO! I must not keep it! It is not my locket!"

When I got to Fuchu, I decided to give the locket to the station staff.

Before I gave the locket to the staff, I took a picture of it.



I think this locket was expensive but I am glad that I did not keep it!


Take my quiz about Trains!!

strange English








Anyone can be famous!

Tiger Woods is the best golfer in the world.

But sometimes, even Tiger can make a mistake.

He hit the ball very badly.


The ball went straight into the camera!

What a great photo!

The cameraman was praised for taking such a good photo.

This photo has been viewed my millions of people on the internet.

But many people are interested in the man with the cigar.

He looks so funny!

Many people added his face to other photos.

LOOK!












Suddenly, this man is famous!

But who is he?

What is his name?

Nobody knows!

Do you know this man?

JRA!





I do not love racing.

But, somehow I am interested in it a little.

I lived in Ireland for a long time.

Racing is very popular in Ireland.

So, I got to know about Horse Racing.

Now, I live in Fuchu.

I live very near the Tokyo Racecourse.

I go there sometimes.

I do not gamble but the grounds are very beautiful!

So, I like to walk around there.

And often they have some fireworks!


Now make your graph!

Look on the internet for some interesting information and make a graph!

World's Strangest Vending Machines

Vending machines are very useful.

Usually, I buy a can of coffee from a vending machine.

But some vending machines sell very strange things.


Fresh pizza, Italy.


Many vending machines sell food.

But this vending machine makes and cooks your pizza.

You can choose the topping that you like ((tomato, bacon, ham, or fresh vegetables).

There is a window so you can watch the machine do it`s work!

In under 3 minutes you can have fresh pizza!

It costs between $5 and $8.

Gold Bars: Abu Dhabi, Frankfurt, Bergamo, and Moscow airports



You can buy a gold bar from this vending machine!

One gold bar costs around $50.

I want this kind of present!


Miami’s Mondrian South Beach Hotel


This veding machine sells very expensive things.

You can buy an apartment in Miami!


Live Bait, America

Books, England

Happy Airplane!

Do you like flying?

Many people do not like it.

They think it is boring.


What do you do on an airplane?

Do you play SUDOKU?


Do you read and drink beer?


Do you take a photo?




Do you play cards?


Do you listen to music?



Do you play a game?


Or do you just try to sleep?




The stewardesses on this flight tried to make the passengers happy.

Would you like to fly on this airline?
