JAPANESE CULTURE
I think calligraphy(shodou) is one of the interesting culture in Japan. Today, there
are a lot of foreigners who are interested in Japanese culture and they learn Japanese character or Kanji. Calligraphy has a long history in Japan, but it was born in China. There are two types in calligraphy, the semi-cursive style of writing and block style of writing. English and other foreign languages have only one style of writing, so Japanesecharacter is interesting.
We use adherence, an ink stone and a writing brush to write.
It is a typical style of a calligraphy and there is no examples in any other countries. Recently, many people include foreigners get to learn calligraphy. There are a lot of classroom in Japan to learn it, we can get grades as qualification. It may be difficult for foreigners to write Japanese characters using a brush, but they will be fun and feel fresh on their writing. I think calligraphy is also attractive to foreigners who are interested in Japanese history. They will be interested in the relation between Japan and China and how kanji was introduced in Japan. It is interesting to learn about it, I think. I recommend foreigners to begin calligraphy!!

New Zealand is on of the large earthquake countries in the world.
In 1885, the capital of New Zealand, Wellington was damaged by big earthquake called Wairarapa earthquake. It was caused by fault that ran from Wellington's north to the east. It wasthe biggest earthquake in the hitory of New Zealand, and the scale is guessed to be magnitude 8.2 at least. And, the most popular earthquake is Nepiar earthquake occured in 1931. The deadliest earthquake destroyed the ciyies of Napier, and 256 people died in the magnitude 7.8. By the earthquake, 200 buildings were destroyed. Now, almost all buildings were built again and changed the new city of Napier. However, the fear of the damage of this earthquake remain people's minds. In Japan, Hanshin-awaji earthquake occured in 1995 is the most famous earthquake. The magnitude was 7.3 and a lot of people died. Actually, 20 % earthquake in 1990s occured in New Zealand and Japan. Therefore, these tow countries called "two large earthquake countries" in the world. It is important to prepare to earthquakes.
Taupo Lake is a very big lake in New Zealand. It is as large as Singapore. Its lake created about 2000years ago, and in those days it is said that its smoke cover and make Europe and China dark. Its surface area is 616k㎡, and the bottom of the lake is 186km. It is the biggest lake in New Zealand. The volcanic activity that produces this lake such as active volcanoes that soar in the lakefront and Tongariro National Park where the gush hole of steam and the warm water flow can be seen still here and there.

In Japan, Biwa lake is the biggest and most famous. This lake is located in Shiga prefecture and many people come to see this lake. Its surface area is 670.33 k㎡, so Biwa is bigger than Taupo. This lake was made about 400~600 million years ago and the third ancient lakes in the world. Its water is used in Kyoto and Osaka.
