TripAdvisor

I have already contribute my review on TripAdvisor but it took many days to update,
so I wrote same review here.
I introduce NIKKO EDOMURA in Tochigi because I think it deserves to go there. Especially, foreiners who are interested in Japanese culture. If you have never gone there, please go there this summer vacation.


NIKKO EDOMURA is the theme park which we can enjoy Japanese culture. Recently, NIKKO EDOMURA is changed the name to EDO WODERLAND because of the renewal. It fuses together into the Edo period culture and the present culture.

Once you enter the gate, it gives an illusion that you are lived in the Edo period. You can experience a NINJA and also watch NINJA shows. Do you see through a clever trick?? NINJA are very clever to disappear and they appear from a place not possible to foresee. Be careful!!! NINJA will attack you!!! Also there have some display of the Edo period life and prison.
After you enjoy show and display, you can take rest at a restaurant. You have to try traditional Japanese foods like Dango, Udon, Soba, etc…
Don’t forget to buy souvenirs for your trip memory. There are many traditional goods. NYAN-MAGE is a popular mascot of this amusement park, so I recommend buying his toy.

If you are interested in Japanese culture, you will enjoy here and make a great memory. Let’s go to EDO WONDERLAND!!!

Earth


One movie that I want to see "Earth":

The movie shows different climates and the animals associated with them by starting at the North Pole...as the movie progresses. The footage from this movie is often breathtakingly beautiful and I many times wondered how on Earth they could have taken some of the shots under water or in the sky. 'Earth' is an easier movie. It skips much of the scientific detail that Attenborough covers in his 'Planet Earth' series. For instance, Earth will tell you that a tropical sea is an ideal nursery for a young humpback whale, because there are few predators. Planet Earth will tell you that a tropical sea is a good nursery, because the water is low in oxygen and doesn't contain enough nutrients to support very large animals, like large sharks... To me, that's an important difference. That, together with Attanborough's far superior voice make Planet Earth a far better documentary than Earth...I think Earth is worth watching for the beautiful footage and the fact that it's easier to understand makes it interesting for children too.

After I read this review, I want to see this movie even more!!
This movie tell us that environment will going bad and bad,so we have to save the beautiful nature forever.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas!


"How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is one of the best-known children's books by Dr. Seuss. This is a comedy and a heart-warming story. I want to watch it before Christmas because it tells us that Christmas is very important day for children.

The greenman Grinch, played by Jim Carrey, lives on the high snowy mountain Crumpit with a dog. He hates the Christmas because he is always alone and has no good memories. When he hears the songs of Christmas from the town Whoville, he will plan to make a mess of the Christmas festival. He goes to the town at the town and.......
Cindy Lou Who is a girl who is interested to meet Grinch. She is the key person that she gives the chance for Grinch to change his mind.

You will be worried whether Whoville's people can reach a day of Christmas happily, and you must keep an eye on this movie!!!
