Language of Clothes

1, Why are Japanese designer label crazy?

Japanese women like fashionable. We like to prise our belonging like wallets of designer label each other. We care looking. Anyway, designer labels satisfy us.

Because we choose what we wear depend on where we go. When we are invited a wedding, we wear gorgeous dresses. When we go to a funeral, we have to wear dark color's clothes. Choosing clothes is one of the manner.

Death and Funeral

1. Do you agree with the site's description? What do you that can be called "wrapping"? Give examples and reasons for your actions.

I need "wrapping". Because beautiful "wrapping" makes me happy. And it's important to remain fresh for food. Each piece of cookie wrapped respectively. I think it's very sanitary.

2. Where do you go after you died?

If we lead our life as a good person, we would go to Heaven. But if we lead our life as a bad person(for example; sinning a crime, killing someone), we would go to hell. I think it's depends how our life it was.


3. Why do Japanese have death memorial services 1 month, 1 year, 3 years, 7 years, etc. after a person's death?


We have death memorial services regularly after a person's death, because we pray the dead's soul may rest in peace. And it's good opportunities to talk together about memories of the dead. In doing so, we keep reminding them.

4.Do you have any international friends or a host family? If so, how would you express your condolences to them if a family member died? If not, then how would you express condolences to an American host family if their Grandmother died?

Yes, I have international friends and a fist family. If a family member died, I could do nothing but say "I'm sorry". I have no idea expect it.

5. Have you ever been to a foreign funeral?

No, I never been to a foreign funeral.

Final Homework

If you were working for the UN, which job would like to do using your English abilities? Why?

If I were working for the UN, I would like to work as member of the department of peacekeeping operation. Because I was born, and I' ve grown up in Hiroshima. And I've studied about the peace, wars, atomic bombs, and A-bomb victims. I've learned how horrible they are. Then I realize that we will never make a war again. But wars are happen even now in the world. So I'd like to tell how cruel it is to people know nothing about it. I think if I work there, I'll be able to do it.

Working with different culture

What kind of work place do you think you will work best in? Choose a country other than Japan and research and explain 1 aspect of their business culture that is different than Japan. Do you think it is a good practice? Why?
I'd like to work in America, and I'd like to work in Disney World. I really like Tokyo Disney Land, and then I'd like to go to Disney World in America very much. America is the birthplace of Disney. As may be expected of Disney's home, Disney world is much larger than Tokyo Disney land. The area which we couldn't go around all of it, even if we stayed there for a week. I'd be so happy if I work in such a place. Then, America is international country, there are many people come from all over the world. I will have lots of opportunities to talk other country's people, if I work there. And then, I can take advantage of my Japanese, because there are some Japanese tourists in Disney World.

This is my pie chart of my ideal partner's characteristics.

・Economic power -40%
・fun-20%
・kind-20%
・honest-15%
・look-5%



If I marry someone, the most important thing is his economic power. Because I can't live without money even if we love each other. And I like a hard worker.
Then his personalities are so important as well. The personalities I look for are fun, kind, and honest. I like enjoyable character to have around. And also I like kind and honest men.
Appearances are not so important for me. If I judge men by their looks, the relationship is going to be short-lived.
