Health care system for elderly

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D94QMQP8A&show_article=1&catnum=0

According from the news, the government pay attention to elders in their country by produce and revise an health care system. This will make many people feel more comfortable. I think this system is very important for some people because some elders do not know how to be healthy and some of them do not have much money to see doctors. I think this system will be very useful for them. I hope Thai government may improve this kind of policy because there are many elders in Thailand too. If it happen, I think it can make our country look more livable.

Japan soccer coach

http://www.japantoday.com/category/sports/view/italys-zaccheroni-appointed-japan-soccer-coach

After Japan can go to the second round of the world cup 2010, a coach show his responsibility by resign from the team. I think no one was angry at him. Everyone know that he did his best and he satisfy to his work. This was the first time in many years that Asia team could get in the second round. However, they got the new coach already. He is Italian called Zaccheroni. This man do not want to make Japanese feel disappointed with him. He has to prove his ability by the Asian Cup in Qatar in January 2011. In my opinion, I think Japanese may want to exchange an knowledge about techniques between Europe and Asia. This is a good idea, everyone should find more information from the professional person. I think Zaccheroni may do a good job. He may combine attitudes from Japan and Italy perfectly.

Forgetting how to write in China and Japan

http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jz3FEk2KJw3NEUyDhbMlTQO0IlOw

According to the news, some kids forget how to write their own language. Some of them told that they know a meaning and know how to pronounce, but they forget how to write it! An adult think that technologies such as mobile phone and computer are a main cause because they make kids write easier. Japanese letters are quite complex and have many details. Mobile phone can gather the complex letter in only one button. If kids write text in technologies too much, they may forget all of letter writing. I think this is a serious problem because language is a thing that inherit from our ancestors. In my opinion, the solution is writing with hand. Schools should let the students in a young generation to write by their hands. This may help us to save our language to exist forever.

Learning Japanese

There are many ways to learn Japanese. Nowadays, we can learn Japanese from technologies. When you click the link, you can see many program that can teach you Japanese easier and quicker. This make we know the new way to study Japanese. In my opinion, it is good for some people who want to learn by themselves and some people who do not have enough time to study at a institution. For some people, this way may not suitable for them because they think that the program can not give them enough knowledge. It is depend on person tochoose their own way to study Japanese.

Toyota to recall Corolla cars in North America

http://www.asahi.com/english/TKY201008270310.html

Toyota is a top company to produce an engine. They have done many works since 1867. At that time, there were not many company which could create an effective technology. Nowadays Toyota can sell about million cars worldwide.

From the news, Toyota recall million cars from many countries such as United States, Canada and Mexico. They found that some parts of them did not work. Toyota created many wonderful transportations, but this time they were not cautious enough. I think this will be an important experience for them. This news make me feel that when I do something, I have to pay attention to every part of it,otherwise I have to respond the thing that I did.

Sumo

http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/ss20100824a1.html

Journalists asked Asashoryu about reformation to the national sport. Asashoryu was a Sumo man, but he is out because of a case that he did. He said that the person who comes to reform the sport must be a person who is close to a practice.

According from the news, I think it is important to find a professional person to reform the national sport. That person should has both experience, skills and always steady. Asashoryu is an example about hot-tempere person. The news said that he harmed a man near a nightclub. This made him had to get out of Sumo sport forever. I can know that Japan pay attention to manners very much even in the sport circle. If you want to go to Japan, you should learn some manners before you go.

Explore Tokyo's waterways

Tokyo’s waterways have some tours designed to show how our life is connected to the rivers. An NPO called Enjoy Eco School operates group tours, using specially designed exhaust-free electric boats to cause minimal impact to the environment.

Different tours explore the Kanda-Nihonbashi, Onagi River and Tennozu areas on half- and full-day trips that offer glimpses of turtles, wild birds and other aquatic animals that inhabit the area. You can also learn about the boats that ply the rivers collecting garbage. Part of the cost goes toward supporting the organization’s monthly riverside cleanup gatherings. English tour guides are available on request

We can observe from the news that Japan has a wonderful environment. I think it is because Japanese always campaign to protect the abundance of the environment. I am the one who like to live in a pure surrounding. It is good to protect a nature that we live with. In my opinion, Thailand do not have a strict law about destroying an environment, so some places are not delightful as expected.

Gov't to set up a team for young people

http://www.japantoday.com/category/politics/view/govt-to-set-up-special-team-for-job-creation-for-young-people

Prime Minister Naoto Kan said Saturday he plans to set up a special team to help promote job creation for young people including students graduating from university amid a severe employment situation. The special team will be headed by Democratic Party of Japan lawmaker Manabu Terata, who serves as an aide to Kan, the prime minister told reporters in Kyoto. Kan made the remarks after visiting employment-related facilities in Kyoto as part of efforts to grasp the job situation for young people. The team is expected to compile short-term job creation measures as well as medium- and long-term employment support plans, as new graduates are facing difficulties in finding employment opportunities, government officials said. Kan also said he will accelerate work to compile fresh economic stimulus measures from next week. ‘‘I will put together various opinions from the beginning of next week and I want to move on to a stage to compile economic measures,’’ Kan said. The government has started preparations for its new round of emergency steps to address slowing economic growth and the yen’s recent surge in the currency market. In Kyoto, Kan visited the Kyoto Job Park, a job placement support organization which is operated by the Kyoto prefectural government in cooperation with the business community and ‘‘Hello Work’’ public job-placement offices, as well as a career support center of Kyoto University of Foreign Studies

The news told us that the government of Japan wants to support teenagers who graduated by giving them jobs. They will have an experience and improve their skills. They think this may develop an economy. I think this is a good idea because teenagers has fresh energy and new creative thinking. If they cooperate with adults who has more experience, they will produce a perfect work and upgrade the quality of the work. In my opinion, this idea can adjust to Thailand.

Panasonic to quintuple TV panel production capacity in China

OSAKA —

Panasonic Corp will boost its plasma TV panel production capacity at its factory in Shanghai, China by about five times in fiscal 2012 to meet the voracious demands of Chinese consumers for TVs. Company sources said the Shanghai plant’s output capacity will be raised to the equivalent of 120,000 42-inch panels a month by March 2013 from 25,000 at present.

Strengthening local production will reduce transportation costs and currency exchange risks because the electronics maker exports products from Japan when its Shanghai plant, which began output in 2002, falls short of supply. The Shanghai plant is one of the two plasma panel production bases for Panasonic. The other plant is located in Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture.

We can observe from the news that Japan is a leader of technology world. Many new technologies are created at Japan such as televisions. The information of the news told us that televisions are the extremely popular media. Nowadays, people all over the world has at least one television per house, so I think Shanghai has a good idea to cooperate with a big company like Panasonic. I feel impressed with Japan too because they try to cooperate with China which is a big country. In the future, Japan may be a lead country together with China.

China may allow Japanese travel agents to handle Chinese tourists

http://www.japantoday.com/category/business/view/china-may-allow-japan-travel-agents-to-handle-chinese-tourists

HANGZHOU —

Chinese National Tourism Administration Chairman Shao Qiwei hinted Saturday that China may allow Japanese travel agencies to sell services to Chinese tourists heading for Japanese destinations. ‘‘We are now preparing to revise (relevant) laws,’’ Shao was quoted as saying in a meeting with Japanese Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Minister Seiji Maehara, now on a four-day Chinese visit, according to Japanese officials accompanying Maehara. Maehara later told Japanese reporters, ‘‘Japanese companies would be able to offer a wide range of travel plans to Chinese people who travel to Japan repeatedly, as they have explored tourism routes most extensively.’’

In my opinion, tourism is a main part that effects to economy. If China allow Japan to sell services to Chinese tourists, Japan tourism will spread more well-known because China is the very enormous country and has a strong influence to control other countries. I think we should improve our tourism to spread worldwide because Thailand has many interesting tourist attractions and festivals too.

Kanda River

http://www.japantoday.com/category/travel/view/kanda-river-hop-on-a-bicycle-and-head-upstream

Many people do not know that there are a nice relaxing river in the capital city like Tokyo. Kanda River is a wonderful attraction that many people can enjoy by taking a bicycle along the Kanda River, which runs for nearly 25 kilometers from Kichijoji’s Inokashira Park. There is a beautiful landscaped garden from the early 17th century which has many trees. If you ride a bicycle along the river, you will see a 1000 years old temple and a museum. I think many people can feel relaxed in this place. In Thailand, the place like Kanda River is not appear much in a capital city, so this is a new thing for me. In my opinion, Kanda River is a very great place to visit in Japan.

Japanese Cosplay

http://www.japantoday.com/category/entertainment/view/italian-pair-selected-as-world-cosplay-champion

'Cosplay' is quiet famous to many people. It is a festival that people dress as a cartoon character that they like. It is a community for some people. The link above said that Italian will produce a contest for searching the best costume and give a big prize. I can observe from the news that there are many countries in different continent interested in Asia's festival. Cosplay is also popular in Thailand and other countries in Europe. This show us that Japan culture is spread all over the world. I think if Thai people support our festivals and our cultures more, it can be a development for tourism in our country that effect to an economy.

2 Japanese films nominated for Venice Film Festival's Golden Lion

ROME —

Two Japanese movies have been nominated for the 67th Venice Film Festival’s Golden Lion award, organizers of the festival beginning Sept. 1 said Thursday.

One is “Norwegian Wood” directed by Vietnamese-born French director Tran Anh Hung, based on Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami’s bestseller of the same title. The other is “Ju-san nin no shikaku” (13 Assassins) directed by Japanese director Takashi Miike.

I think a movie industry in Asia has a very enormous development. I am the one who want to learn about film, so I feel excited to know this news. In my opinion, these two movies have a different style. Norwegian Wood is the romantic movie that has many beautiful scenes. I think the director want to show us a wonderful scenes and a impressive story in a same time. 13 Assassins is a former times movie. You can see that the movie show you many culture of Japan such as, hairstyle, clothes and daily life. I think it is a great movie that everyone should see.

I put links here, so you can watch them.

Japan search market

http://www.japantoday.com/category/technology/view/google-yahoo-japan-set-for-search-business-deal

The news is telling us about two famous websites. Yahoo Japan and Google are making an agreement about a research and a business. This agreemant will make these two companies help with each other and control almost Japanese search market. Japan has their own influence to produce a big network of connection, so I think Japan is the leader for many countries about technologies. If Google and Yahoo Japan can complete this, it will be a very big success that effect to many countries about technology industries in Asia.

Japan is producing cutting-edge technologies

http://www.japantoday.com/category/technology/view/taiwan-japan-to-develop-broadband-technologies

This link is telling us about technologies that Japan and Taiwan are developing. These technologies are broadband wireless. They want to produce a wireless that can access longer and reduce the cost of it in the same time. Now, they are discussing about joining it to other electronics such as car and energy-related technologies. This shown us that Asia's technological industries have a big development. In the future, I think we will have many new facilities to use in our daily life. It will be an exciting experience. I can not wait to see their achievement.

The First Japanese Female Captain

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703834604575364613399238760.html

This link said about the japanese woman who can be a pilot which is very difficult for female. Ari Fuji is the first female flight captain in a major airline group. She said that she can do this because of her attempt and her parents. She showed that women has professional skills as much as men.

Nowadays, most of people accept women's capability, but many people still believe that women are weak creatures. The story told us that the gap between genders in Japan is wide. Women is always denied to be leaders. I think this is similar to Thailand. In Thailand, some careers do not accept women to work such as a judge, so Ari Fuji is the idol who give an inspiration to many women in many country.

My memorable animation

Most of people like to watch an animation. I watch an animation since 1994. My first animation movie is 'Lion King' which was directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff. I remember that when I watched it, I felt very impressed and loved this movie very much. I think because it has a musical style that is attractive for kids and it can make viewers feel joyful with the story. In that time, there is no high-technology to produce an animation automatically. A work team has to draw pictures in dribs and drabs. This is a very hard time for them. However, Lion King is a very smooth animation. I think it is a perfect movie for me. Every scene, shot, song can make me feel amused, so Lion King is my memorable animation. I hope that everyone likes this old movie as I like.

Pepsi vs Coke

Pepsi and Coke are two popular brands of a softdrink that have a very challenging competition. These two brands have a similar style of product. The dark black sweet water that many people like to drink is a main product of them. Most of customers do not care what brands come first or second. They just want to drink something that makes them fresh. Each brand has to improve advertisements to increase a circulation. We can observe their latest advertisements. They are FIFA World Cup. Pepsi and Coke both advertise about World Cup. They hire artists as their presenters. The interesting point is they both compose songs for this event! This makes customers can see more comparisons between them. In my opinion, both of them can do well. I interest all adverisements. I think it is difficult to make a decision which one is better. How about you? Can you make a dicision? :)

I put advertisements here, so you can watch them.

My Favourite Thai Movies

Nowadays, Thai directors present their idea freely. Many Thai films are accepted by international companies. Last week, two directors of Thailand got awards at France in Movies Festival. This shows that Thai film industry is developing into another step. I like many Thai films. One of them is Phobia. Phobia is the thriller. It has a new style of movie by compare four short scary stories into one movie. I think this is good because sometimes I feel frustrated when I have to watch very long movie. The stories in Phobia are interesting too! Every part of the movie has its own meaning. These make Phobia succeed in many countries and the movie Phobia2 is happened. I like these two movies because they are creative movies, but when I watch them, every times I still feel scared.

These are trailers of this two movies.

My favourite Thai bands

I wrote about my favourit foreign artists already. Now, I am writing blog about Thai artist. I have many favourite Thai artists and bands. The first bands is Scrubb. Scrubb is the band that has two people. Their songs have a cheerful style which can amuse me. They do not release a new single often. At least one years, they release one. Another band is Tattoo Color. Their melodies have a various style. Most of their songs are informal. I observe from the lyrics. They use many funny words sometimes. I can feel relaxed by their melodies. Tattoo Colour also produce the song for FIFA World Cup in Thai version too! The last group that I want to introduce to you is Mild. This band play a little classic music. Everyone can feel pleasant when listen to their songs, but most of their songs have a sad meaning. I think they can produce songs profoundly. All bands that I presented to you are three best groups in my mind. I hope you will like their songs same as me. :D

Please check these out!

Stop your anger!

The anger always happens to many people. It do not give you any value. In addition, it makes you feel terrible. The anger is also makes you get a headache too because a stress is collected in your body. When it increases too much, it will affect to your nerves and make you get a headache or stomachache. I am the one person who sometimes feel angry. One day, I think that my anger always harms me. It never help me to do anything, so I think I have to do something to it. I know that it is impossible to make it dissapears from my mind, but I think I can reduce my anger. There are suggestions for you to reduce your anger...

1.You can take a deep breath for two or three times. This can make you feel more comfortable.

2.You should try to get out of the place that makes you feel angry at that moment and try to make yourself relaxed.

3.You may talk to your friends or your family about your anger. This can make you can release your bad feeling out.

4.Do not think too much! Let your brain flows naturally.

5.Learn to forgive... :)

Some tips are difficult to do, but I think these are good ways to make a better personality and better life.

Internet...Angel or Devil ?

Internet is the social network. Many people use it to connect each other. You can have fun with many games in websites. Moreover, you can chat, post and write any note to your friends on their blogs or Facebook. This big social network is widespread to all over the world. I'm the one who have my own account at Internet such as Facebook, Hi5 etc. These networks' good point is extensive. I can connect to others easily. I and my friends can share stories and pictures together even we live in different countries but, I know its disadvantage point too! In Internet network, everything that you posted is not private anymore because everyone can link to it. This is a concerned problem for some people. I heard that some companies check their workers by their Facebook. If you or your friends post something that is shameful or something that can cause to the work. The company can fire you anytime, so you should be more careful to the stuffs that you want to post or set private mode to them before. Internet is a two-edged sword. It is a fabulous thing but, if you do not beware, it can also harm you any time.

My favourite artists

There are many singers that I like. One of them is Ne-yo. He is an American pop and R&B singer. He has many albums and singles such as "So Sick", "Miss Independent" and "Closer". I like his songs and his voice because the sounds in his songs are clear. I always feel relaxed with his melody. The other one is Lady Gaga. She is the craziest singer that I have ever see! Her songs are very strange but very beautiful. She has her own style that no one can copy. Her music videos is extremely surprised too. I think because of her style and her talent make her becomes famous like this. Another artist that is my favourite is Jason Mraz. I think everyone know the song "I'm yours". It is a very pleasant tune. In my opinion, Jason Mraz's identity is his interesting voice. His voice can makes many people feel jolly and delightful. These are my favourite artists. I put their songs in here, so you can check them out...Just click!

I'm yours - Jason Mraz

Dengue fever & me

Dengue fever is a germ that comes from mosquitoes. It can be life-threatening, and is caused by four closely related virus. The patient feels headache, muscle, joint pains, bored with foods and powerless. This illness will hurt the patient about 2-7 days. I got this fever last year. I felt extremely terrible. I did not want to eat any meals. It was the first time that I did not eat anything all day. The doctor must gave me about six saline solutions in ten days. I felt that I should more take care of myself.
If you do not want to approach to Dengue fever, I have some tips for you...
1.You should check your resident's environment, all the marshes and pools. The mosquitoes can use them as places to lay eggs.
2.You should not stay in the dark place for a long time because many insects love to stay there.
3.If you feel ill or any signs that appear above. You should meet a doctor immediately.

Leptospirosis on cans

Many people do not interest in Leptospirosis because they think that it is distant, but they do not know that they may find it on every soft drink cans. Leptospirosis is the kind of diseases that comes from urine of the mice. The patients will have a feeling of pains and aches, but some people die. I have heard that one man bought the drink from the shop. He opened the can and drank it immediately. A few days past, he felt ill. He thought that he just caught a cold, but he felt more terrible, so he went to the hospital. The doctor said that he was attacked by Leptospirosis. The man knew later that the can he drank had a germ because the store of the beverage was too rusty. I think this story gives us a very useful idea. We should be careful to everything we eat, drink and use. If you buy any can of drink, you should make sure that it is clean before you drink it.

The Segway and Polo

Some people said that the Segway was not designed to be used for sport, but I think that idea is not true. Polo is the one of sports that Segways can be used. Polo is the sport that play on a horseback and drive a small ball to the goal. I think the Segway can use as the horse properly. It is safer and easier to practice because the Segway has the new technology to check the driver's body movements every second. The players can move loosely and smoothly. Today, we can see the Segway in Polo sport more often. You can follow the link to watch the video. It is work, isn't it? Click to watch the video
