Summary :
This article introduce the Noka no Daidokoro restaurant. It runs by independent farmers. The inside decor everything are the colorful posters. The important point of the restaurant is the self-service salad bar. A lot of small baskets brimming with carefully cut vegetables are laid out on a bed of ice, as if they were prime seafood. Behind them, a chef stands on the corner, the chef keep providing colorful display. One of the main reason which they get a taste good is that they're super fresh. Some vegetables grown in the building, in a large, end of the room. The most interesting is that ice plants give mineral that make salty flavor and that covered dew-like beads surface. In addition, you can choose the rate of the food. For instance, If you wanna 4:3:3 course comprises 40 percent vegetables, 30 percent fish and 30 percent chicken, you can order that. If you are vegiterians, you can order only vegitable food. This is not just earthy, healthy farmhouse food, it's also satisfying on many levels.
Reaction :
Nowdays , many people care about their health therefore organic food getting popular from people. It has a good taste and we can keep our nutrients. I think it's very good ideas , like Noka no Daidokoro which raise the plant in their restaurant. Customer can enjoy fresh food , and restaurant can be reduce distribution costs. I think it's good for children who like fast food or modern people. In order to encourage these restaurant , that need help from big company and effort myself.

Nomura, grand master of the crown prince’s household, said that's not a amain reason ,because she was sick recently so she couldn't attend the school. But he asked school thatschool have to adress the problem and publicize the princess’s situation.
Reaction :
I know that Japan has a ijime culture. I could see the ijime scene in the Japan's Drama and comic books even in the advertisement. Especilly in the high school,their Ijime culture get worse. I think every country has a "Treated harshly" culture and most teenager could through that culture but not in the elementry school. Most foreigner think every Japanese is kind ,nice and quiet but they have a different type's culture. so don't be panic how to they ijime their classmates !

Summary :
Japanese and Kentucky culture collided and UK students took part in the celebration.
The annual Sakura Festival took place at Yuko-En on the Elkhorn, the official Kentucky-Japan
Friendship Garden of Georgetown. over the weekend to showcase the best that Japan and
Kentucky have to offer during the garden’s 10th anniversary.
The festival displayed traditional Japanese along with UK students performing a song and
traditional dance and jazz music. Nobuko Patton, a UK Japanese language instructor,said
festival-goers could enjoy the variety of international culture. we want to introduce people
to world culture. It’s good to get interested and involved with culture and have a different
perspective of yourself.
For the first time at the Sakura Festival, UK students and a professor performed jazz pieces
for the audience.
Reaction:
I think it's very good opportunity for students who wants to learn diversity culture.
They can learn Japan culture also other countries and while preparing the festival , they
could think about their future. Like Nobuko said, When people meet variety people, people
have a different perspective of themself. I hope these festival could held in Crbondale.

Summary:
When Hentai gmae posted in CNN, many people don't understnd that.
Hentai game is issued from Japan's complex cultural. Japanese sexual culture
is totally different to others cilture. One of the reasons that make it possible to
hentai game is patriarchal society which the men have all the power. So there is
a lack of women in powerful positions in Japan and since men dominate
practically everything, there's not much done about the repression
or sexualization of the country's women.The worst thing is that the sexual
contents are opened child. Cleveland, an associate professor of sociology
at Temple University in Japan, believed the international society
will pressure Japanto forbidden , making it harder for hentai games
to be sold and distributed.
Reaction:
Korea is patriarchal society like Japan even now. But the sexual contents
is not free-hearted in Korea.I think Japanese personality make lower rights
in sexual thing. In my opinion, Japanese personality is that they're shy
or doesn't much say "No" and only concentrate their business.
I think the sexual problem getting serious such a being these personality.
Of course, some modern Japanese women has a strong rights in their society
but they're weaked the only part of sexual. Japanese goverment strongly
limits that children download pornography as law. They have to prepare which
movement towards sexual equality from childhood. I hope Japan establish
a long-term polish about women's rights in sexual culture.

Summary:
One of the reason why Koreans so overjoyed about Yu-na Kim is competition
with Japan. Historically, we were overruled Japan and the day Yu-na got a medal
is just few days before independence day, so that we frenzy to Figure skating.
Politically, we still distribute with Japan on Dok-Do. Nevertheless, Asada , rival
with Yu-na, received welcome from many Koreans when skating championship in
JEJU. Also, the result of survey that how do you think about Japan indicate many
Koreans want to good relationship with Japan in the future. Japan also shows that
appearance of advanced country like apologize for comfort woman. That is
showing brisk cultural exchange between Korea and Japan affirmative future.
Reaction :
I totally agree with journalist. It is a true that the whole nation expecting not only
gold medal but also a match with Mao Asada in Japan when this Vancouver 2010.
It is natural for Korean to win Japanese because we have experienced of colony.
When I see as the culture, however, Japan and Korea have been brought closer
than South Korea and North Korea. For instance, Japanese who visit in Korea has
been increased 4.6% than last year and Koreans reside more 2% of Japan
population in Japan. All things considered, Koreans look forward to
understanding each other, and enjoying a mutually rewarding relationship with
Japan.
