LDP's Noda, 49, pregnant via fertility treatment


Seiko Noda a Liberal Democratic Party member of the Lower House ,the former minister in charge of posts and telecommunications as well as consumers affairs, has become pregnant through artificial insemination using an egg from someone in the United States after years of fertility treatment. She has ever clashes with LDP House of Councilors member Yosuke Tsuruho , her former partner who was initially opposed to the treatment.

She is a major advocate of a system to allow married couples to have separate surnames, and current law stipulates that couples should share the same surname.
She was once touted as a potential candidate to become the country's first female prime minister. She has ever asked the government to implement drastic measures to reverse the falling birthrate, Last May, she expressed her eagerness to run in the next leadership election of the LDP.




In my opinion, I think Japanese have more modern tradition more than before. Because now Japanese woman don't like to marry, so it not a big deal that Seiko did. Although, she didn't married, she have right to has her own baby. She is just a human but she has well-known, so this is the problem that she have to explain why she did it to the people. Moreover, whatever she did, every press will follow her behavior. I think she should have more careful in every her action, otherwise it will be the scandal.

McDonald's Great Moon Burger


Do you like to eat Burger? Most of people like to eat this kind of food, I think they rarely have in their routine. Now, I'm going to tell you about new menu of McDonald! Because Japanese are likely to love strange tastes, so McDonald respond their requirement. Moreover, McDonald's Japan is back to celebrate the anniversary of a uniquely Japanese food item. This new menu is Moon Burger. It was first launched in 1990, and It was very creative food. This menu was consist of hamburger patty topped with fried egg, bacon, cheddar cheese, and the special sauce that called "original Aurora creamy tomato mayonnaise" all these on a sesame-seed bun. When you order Great Moon Burger, it rather that just Moon burger. Because you will get a beef patty that's 2.5 times of the normal Moon Burger size. The Great Moon Burger was included an impressive 716 calories, 38.4 grams of protein, 46.8 grams of fat, 34.3 grams of carbohydrates and 2.8 grams of sodium per burger.

In my opinion, It's sound tasty, and I think it was very creative menu and this menu may be the top of McDonald. I really want to taste it because they put all my favorite ingredients. On the other hand, many consumers should realize that this is a junk food, and they shouldn't eat it in everyday. We knew that the result of consuming junk food is. It have many disadvantages. For example, you will be fat and unhealthy, and then you will get many diseases, Remember that " You are what you eat."

China VS Japan



To begin, as I knew that I thought Japan is the second place of world's economy, and Japan is a development country. For example, Japan has been second place after the U.S.A since 1968. Japan's manufacturing and financial growth very fast after has been destroyed after World War 2. That was so miracle. However, I can not believed that China overtakes Japan in 2nd places as world's economy already. China has surpassed Japan in GDP. At this time, China's economy will almost bigger than Japan at the end of this year because of the growth rates. As a result, China's economy is growing at 10 percent while Japan's economy is growing just 3 percent. In my opinion, China's economy is growing very fast at this time, and I do not surprised that China overtakes Japan in second place.

Taxi in Japan


I have read a paragraph on the website, and I think there are many problems of taxi in Japan. First of all, taxis are very expensive and unnecessary to the public transportation systems of Japan's largest city, especially between 11pm - 5 pm they adds extra charges. Next, if you call a taxi from a restaurant or other places, you should pay extra charges for taxi driver.


Taxi fares start around 600-700 yen for the first two kilometers and increase by 100 yen for every 500 meters traveled. The cost also increase when taxis is not moving when they are in traffic jam, and in the evening the fares are raised by 20-30 percent. Secondly, when you get in a taxi,so the vehicle's left door is opened and closed by the driver only. You can not open or close it by yourself. Most of drivers do not speak English, so you should have the address of your destination written in Japanese or have a map. To sum up, if you will take a taxi in Japan. You should make a well arrangements.

Google Japan

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, It’s my dream since I was a child to travel around Japan. As I knew about Japan, it is a civilization country with nice people, nice culture and safety. Japanese food is my most favorite. The most delicious Takoyaki in Bangkok is at The Esplanade Ratchada. But I think that nothing different from others. Fuji is Japanese restaurant that my family always visits. It’s variety of foods for everyone, reasonable price compare to other Japanese food shop. Moreover, he also applies the taste fit to Thai people. My father likes to take the sour and spicy Thai foods which can be found here. My mom likes the Chinese foods which also can be found here. I think that I really need to try the original taste at Japan.





Onsen, it is reputable vacation which is the most popular in Japan. I believe that almost 100% of tourists have to try the Japanese Onsen. It’s good for health and very relaxes. The other activities at Japan that I can recognize is Ski, it’s also my wish to play ski at Nagoya. The biggest Aquarium at Osakako is in my list of Japanese tour. Many big aquatic animals are here, Whale shark, Manta-ray and etc. Walking at Shin-ju-gu, finding curious foods in a side road. I will walk through the small food shop that located inside the corner of the city. It challenges me to go there.

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.
