Last year, I read some folktales and myths in seminar class. And I thought these stories are really quite fun to read and have good lessons.

Last Thursday, I had a presentation about surnames for married couples. I'd like to introduce part of it.
In Japan, when a couple gets married, husband or wife has to change his or her family name. It makes most of people realize marriage, they often feel "Yeah! I've got married."

Maybe almost all like Disney land, and went there more than once.
As for me, with my family I have been to there more than 10 times.
But please don't call me a maniac of Disney. I'm only a Disney fan.

Have you watched the TV program, "Full House"? This program was a one of my favorite program and had been broadcasted at 3 channel for a long time. Originally, it was broadcasted in the U.S and for its popularity,it started to be broadcasted in Japan,too.

Now I belong to a NPO (non profit organization) called AIESEC.
The main our activity is to offer international internship to university and graduated students. For example, we send Japanese university students to foreign companies. On the other hands, we send foreign students to Japanese companies. There are 24 branches of AIESEC in Japan. Also, there are AIESEC in 84 countries and regions. AIESEC is organized only by students. That is most important characteristic of it.
We hold a big vision. It is "Peace and fulfillment of human kind potential." This vision was made by students who established AIESEC more than 50 years ago. After WW2, the students grieved so much and wondered why adults start the war. Then they think that if they have friends in the world, they would never start the war. And they decided to establish AIESEC.

Well, at least a few people seemed to enjoy the option "Moo!" on the poll in my last story. Nobody voted for it, but it got a few laughs in class. That was good enough for such a bad joke.
Let's see what kind of response I get from other animal sounds.
