Introduce about my country

Hallow everyone, my name is Kanako Yamaguchi. I have a great country “Mandinka”. Now I am going to introduce about Mandinka. There are three points of Mandinka.

Now I talk about Mandinka’s flag’s story. There were all kinds of people in the world and nobody lives in Mandinka in the old days. Blacks, whites and yellows are all separated because they do not like each other. They started fighting and hurting each other. A lot of people dead from it. The people noticed that the fighting each other is wrong. Some all kind of people moved to Mandinka and lived together peacefully.Next I talk about Mandinka’s flag’s design.It has 4 colors in the flag. The center of circle has 3 colors, black, white and yellow. It means that three kinds of people living together. The out of circle is red. It means that Mandinka is very hot weather because it is very close to the equator. There is two pigeon on the flag. The two pigeons are a symbol of peace.

Now I talk about Mandinka’s interesting customes. This is very different from other countries. People do not wear any clothes only outside, because Mandinka is very hot weather. It is warm on this country all the year round. It is not possible for other country, but Mandinka is possible. Next interesting custom is that Mandinka’s people do not have any secrets. Everybody knows about everybody. If you tell a secret Mandinka’s people, it will be known by everybody but they do not mean bad. They just want to know each other because they do not fight from secrets. It is can’t be possible for other countries. The last of interesting custom is that all Mandinka’s people get plastic surgery. It is very usual for Mandinka. Doing plastic surgery is good to have confidence themselves. The plastic surgery is free.

Finally, I am going to talk about personality of Mnadinka’s people. Basically, Mandinka’s people are very kind. Women have very nice heart. They are always welcome and always smile. They take care of men and their children, they like it. They always care everybody. Men have also nice heart too. They are all gentlemen and strong men. They care about their families and they never do cheating, they think only of their wife. Mandinka’s children are very nice. They do not do bad things, they do not lie, they are very patient. They take after their parents. Nobody has bad personality in Mandinka. Everybody is hoping that everybody is happy and they care each other. As you can see Mandinka’s people has very nice personality.

As you can see, My country has very good flag, customs, people. I really recommend you my country to trip there. You will like it.

HOT SPRING

Mr. Bean

(Kanako)

・The alarm clock rings and he puts it in the glass of water. Automatic tea maker starts and hot steam goes to his feet, but he stops it with his big toe and goes back to sleep. He gets up at 8:53 am from his bed but he is still sleeping and he walks around the room, he bumps against a wall and he awakes at last. He sits on the bed and he puts on his slippers. He draws the curtains apart and takes some exercises. He shaves but the shaver catches his nose hairs so he uses a pair of scissors to cut his nose hair free. He opens the closet and takes out his clothes. He hangs up the clock from the water and he noticed that he has an appointment to go to the dentist at 9:00. He gets everything he needs and runs out of the door, but he forgets something. He tiptoes back and puts a quilt over his teddy bare. Mr. Bean goes out of the house and runs toward his car. He throws his clothes in the car. Before he gets in the car, he takes a brick. He leaves, hitting a trash can. He changes his clothes while he drives and puts the brick on the accelerator. Then, he move to back seat and tries to put on his trousers. He drives with his feet. He then puts on his jacket and socks. He beeps the horn. He moves back to the driving seat and puts on a tie. He drives round and round. He drives with his teeth and takes a toothbrush. He puts toothpast on it and cleans his teeth. Then, he rinses with the wiper’s water. He spits the water out on a man’s lower back. The man looks up and thinks it is bird droppings. Mr. Bean arrives at the dental clinic. He pushes a car already parked there in order to park. He gets out and meets a policewoman. She thinks he is a strange man. He smiles at her but he notices his pajamas are sticking out of his trousers. He takes them and throws it in his car and zips up his zipper.

He entered the dentist office and sat in the chair. The chair was going down when he pushed the button but it didn’t stop. Mr Bean finally got it back to its original position when the dentist returned and pretended nothing happened. The dentist turned on the light and began to treat his decayed tooth. Mr Bean played with the dentist’s suction tube. He touched his cheek and tongue and cleaned his jacket. He also sucked up the dentist’s tea. When the doctor came, he wondered what happened to his tea. Next, he played with the anesthesia injection. He anesthetized the doctor’s leg by mistake. The doctor soon fell down and was knocked out because of anesthesia. Mr Bean treated his decayed tooth by himself. He did the xray up and down. He reversed the xray over and over again. Just then the doctor woke up and he got angry.

tsuetate-onsen

“Tsuetate-onsen”the inner parlor of Kyushu

The Tsuetate-onsen Hot Springs, located on the border of Kumamoto and Oita prefectures in the middle of Kyushu, was called “the inner parlor of Kyushu” in early to mid-Showa period. In those days, the area achieved a plush and chic lifestyle, introducing new games faster than surrounding areas, such as shooting, Pachinko, and pinball. The Tsuetate-onsen area is a part of Oguni, in the Aso region of Kumamoto prefecture. Because of its distinctive culture, some tourists mistake the Tsuetate area as its own separate town. This unique culture may confuse some tourists as the Tsuetate area gives the impression of being a “small independent country.” Nowadays, the Tsuetate area is moving ahead on a reasonable town development plan, making use of the lessons of its past prosperous period. Tsuetate-onsen gives the utmost priority to not only preserving the limited high quality hot springs, but also offering customers a tranquil and leisurely experience. Keeping these priorities in mind, Tsuetate-onsen is promoting the town development project in cooperation with 22 Japanese-inns and stores in the area. Recently, more customers are fascinated by the back ally atmosphere maintained since the Showa period. Many tourists stroll through the rustic and unique atmosphere, capturing an environment that has undergone constant remodeling and expansion over the years. In the Tsuetate area, the back ally is called “Sedoya” (the house behind the other house). Many culturati visit this area and take a fancy to the nostalgic and quiet ambience.

The mysterious legends about Tsuetate-onsen Hot Springs

The history of Tsuetate-onsen dates back to the 1800s. When Empress Shinko went on an expedition to Korea, she was pregnant with the child of Emperor Chuai who had just recently died. As soon as she retreated to Munakata in the Chikuzen region after the war, she went into labor. A gray old man then appeared and said to her, “Follow the river in a southeastern direction, and you will see a magical spring. Draw water from the spring, use it for your baby’s first bath, and it will extend the life of the Prince until he is 1000 years of age.” Then he disappeared. Hearing this message, her squire went over jagged mountains and found the steam coming off the spring in a big rocky cavern. He drew water from the spring, brought it to the Empress and dedicated it as her baby’s first bath. The Prince was born. 　It is believed that the Prince later became known as Emperor Ojin. Moreover, Tsuetate-onsen is believed to be the place where this magical spring was. The place-name “Tsuetate” also has a mysterious legend. In the beginning of Heian period, the Buddhist Monk Kukai, also known as Kobo Daishi, visited the Tsuetate area in the course of his pilgrimage and was tremendously impressed with the benefits of hot springs. He put his stick in the ground, then magically branches and leaves grew out of the stick’s knots. This story is the origin of the name Tsuetate (Tsue means a stick, tate means remain). Addition to this story, another origin is that the sick or elderly people visited the area with their sticks (tsue) for the hot spring cure, but they left (tate) their sticks after they took a bath.
