The Place of Tomatina!

I’ll tell you about the place. The Tomatina is held in Bunyol in Spain. Bunyol belongs to the Province of Valencia. It is located about 40km west of Valencia. The population is about 10000 people, but it is visited by more than 40000 people during The Tomatina.

You can go to Bunyol by plain for Valencia and train for Bunyol. However, you need to transfer when you want to Valencia For example, take a plane for Charles de Gaulle in France. Then change a plane and you can go to Valencia. It takes about 18 hours. When you arrive at Valencia, take a train which leaves Valencia North Station once an hour. It takes about 45 minutes.
In conclusion, if you want to stay at hotels, I recommend you to choose the hotels in Valencia because there are few hotels in Bunyol.

Festival

Do you know what the biggest festival in the world is? The answer is “The Oktoberfest” in Munich which is the city in Germany. It is a famous beer festival, and usually held for 16 days- the final day is the first Sunday of October. In this year 2008, it took place from September 20 until October 5. Every year, about 6 million people visit there.

This festival comes from the horse racing at Theresienwiese in Munich to celebrate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese. Since then, Theresienwiese has become a place where the festival has been held. Its area is very large- about 42 hectares, so there are a lot of huge tents of beer halls which can accommodate about 4000-6000 people. However, not all organizations can build their beer halls. Only breweries in Munich can build. Participants not only drink beers, but also eat a lot of foods there- sausages, cheese noodles, roast pork, potato pancakes and so on.

Of course, the main thing in this festival is beer! The beers drunk there are brewed in March and stocked during summer. These beers go down so easily that people drink them at a fast pace. Every year, 5 million liters are consumed. It is a large amount of beers, isn't it?

Now, many festivals like the Oktoberfest are held all over the world- Canada, America, Brazil, Australia, and Hong Kong. In Japan, they take place in Tokyo, Yokohama and Sendai. Especially, the festival in Yokohama is visited by many people.

The Oktoberfest is very lively, so you will enjoy if you join this festival! When you become 20 years old, you can have a good experience.

My Favorite Movie

Do you like animated films? You may think “They are movies for children”, “We are not children now and we adults aren’t impressed by animations”. If you think so, you need to correct your wrong thought. There are animated films which impresses you! I’ll tell you about them.

The movies I want to introduce are series, and they are titled “Crayon Shinchan”. Have you ever watched them? If you answer “No”, you have heard this title, because Crayon Shinchan is televised. Shinnosuke Nohara is the hero of these stories. He is 5 years old, very curious and aggressive boy, so always troubles his mother. However, in these movies, he becomes very HEROIC!

My favorite Shinchan’s movie is this. In this story, his parents- Misae and Hiroshi become enemies of Shinchan. All adults go to the theme park called “20 Century Exhibition” and live there. Of course, Misae and Hiroshi also do. Kasukabe city, which is the city where the Noharas lives, has no adults. There are only children. The boss of this park plans to gather adults and build “Otona Empire”. He and his friends: Kasukabe Defense Party wants to take back their parents, so they decide to go there. In the climax, Shinchan continues to run and go up stairs. He fall down again and again, but never give up! He stands up soon and begins to run. This scene moved me. I shed tears watching him running.

As I told you, Crayon Shinchan’s movies are not only funny but also moving. What’s more, all of the characters are also amusing and cute- like Buriburizaemon. Many characters amuse us! There are some movies that I haven’t watched yet. I want to watch his actions more. Don’t you think so? If you have interest in this anime, please tell me.
