Balloon Festival in SAGA

Balloon Festival in SAGA

It’s an annual event that be held in Saga through the beginning of September.
The meaning of the “balloon” here is not the simple small balloons which are taken by children or clown. It’s the real balloon that can fly high in the sky and must be controlled by balloonist.
It’s an international event that only held in Saga.
Because the plains are so large and there are not so many high building in Saga, so it’s great and safe to make balloon rise in the air.

And of course because it is a really big event, so there should not be just one or two big balloons fly in the sky.
It’s hundreds of Balloon which are from everywhere of many countries

.It's really cool to see so many balloon fly in the sky, isn't it?

Okinawa!!!!!!!!!!

Oh!!brother!!it's almost coming summer soon!!!!And when we talk about Summer, the thing that always comes to our mind is right that-----the sea, the beach, the blue sky!!isn't it???

And now I would like to share the most wonderful, amazing, and never forgotten trip--Okinawa!!

Since it was the end of summer vacation in Japan, so we planned a little trip that need to take air plane to fly away from the island Kyusyu. So we decided to fly to Okinawa to begin our advanture!!!

We stayed in Okinawa for two nights during 25~27 Sep.

It's really a good weather for us visit Okinawa.
Because through those three days, it's never up to 28 C.

The first day, we just go around through by the monorail in  the city-Naha.

And the second day, we saw the amazing blue sea, which is famous because that there are only two of the sea exists in the world. One is in Okinawa, and the other is in Italy.
It's really a beautiful blue sea, I'll never fogot the amazing scene that I saw

Then, the last day,we took the ship to the small island near Naha.
And we all had fun by swimming with fish in the clear sea!!!

Fireworks in Japan!!

Every year in summer vacation, there are always many events in which fireworks are displayed everywhere in Japan.
Before I went to Japan,I've heard that the events of fireworks are so famous and are enjoyed by large of people.
Also, Japanese would like to wear the traditional Japanese clothings which named "Yukata" to attend the event.
Luckily, because I have longed for one Yukata for long time, so I bought one in UNIQULO(just because it's much cheaper than others)
Then I made my dream come true.I wore it to see the event of firework!!
But I must to tell you, in the summer, it's really hot to wear it to walk around in the crowd.lol

Traditional festival in Japan

It's time to show you an invent in Japan.
What is that?I think that many of you would know it well.Japanese called it "o matsuri"(お祭り).no matter which season it is, there are always so many matsuris everywhere.people are crazy about this, and they would join it actively.
So What's the meaning of the matsuri in English?actually,we know that there are also many festival in western.and it is a little similar with japanese festival besides there are some difference between the clouth and the soundtrack.well,we've already known it,right?
I would like to show some pictures of the traditional festival that I took in Hakata,the biggest city in Fukuoka.

There are various local festival in Japan's country or in the city.
It also commonly said that you will always find festival everywhere in japan.the pictures are taken in may.there are a week long vacation in the beginning of May.so we can say that there are always festival being held on holidays.
If you travel to Japan,it' the expection of the traditional festival.:)

I saw the news that said Sakuras (Cherry blossoms) in Tokyo are blooming, so today I would like to share some pictures I took in Saga last year, and introduce some facts about Sakura.

In Japan every year the public will track “Sakura zensen”（桜前線） which is indicating to when Sakura would bloom and via weather forecast to tell the exact date. 

 

(http://sakura.weathermap.jp/ )

So what is the Sakura zensen’s function? Why should Japanese everyone be concerned about this?

It is HANAMI(花見)!!

Japanese love to view Sakura with sake or beer right sit under the Sakura tree. They would have a party with fellow workers, classmates, relatives or even the boss in company.

If you visit Japan in April. You would find that there are always so many people gathering in the park. I really love this culture in Japan and I’ve done it once.lol

SAGA

1th April, 2010

I started my new life in a different country. The country which is in the urban and have polite culture, and fresh air. I love this country so much that although after I came back to my country-Taiwan, I can’t make me to stop reminding of it.

The country is-SAGA!!

So, where is SAGA? It’s in the North of Kyushu in Japan. It is next to the biggest city, also the most comfortable city to live-Fukuoka. Even though Saga is not really a city, but because it is next to the big city, so we can live in this country conveniently.

So, I love my daily life in SAGA, where I’ve been lived in for one year.

And I would like to share many things about Japan happened in SAGA .
