What's new ?

Yesterday I found one book at book store, it was " The Dragons of Eden " by Carl Sagan published in 1977.I surprised it is very old and I really thought if he is still alive now we could read more interesting book now because what he wrote was 30years ago science has changed and technology has changed too during this 30 years, but his book is very interesting still now even it's has been 30 years.

I was remind about 30 years ago how I was , when I was around 18 end of my high school age I remember about " Cosmos" , it was on air on TV and I liked to watch it very much because that " Cosmos " TV series gave me chance to think about our origin and the universe first time in my life ,then I ran to book store to looked for the book " Cosmos " I liked it very much.

Few days ago we were talking about Winter Olympic in Nagano, it was just about 10 years ago and that time my children were 10 , 12 and 13 years old we went watch Nagano Olympic ,for me that memory is not much old, but when I thought Winter Olympic in Sapporo I was like my son's age I was 12 that memory was sepia color already when I grown up around 20.

I read the book " The Dragons of Eden " end of this book he is writing about 3 dimensional design of architect with computer this chapter is " The Future Evolution of the Brain " now people are living in the his future of 30years ago , my son also he has learn architect design with 3 dimensional design with computer at his school and it's just normal things for him.

Things has changed I was wonder about my son's generation mean new young generations are perhaps they have new eyes more than us,because just 10 years ago is already old things for them.

That's why I really wished if I can read Carl Sagan's book if he is still alive now ,it could be wonderful for us.That's I thought when I found this book .

Busy for fun

My sons have been to Reggae Festival in Yokohama with their friends last weekend , they enjoyed their short summer holiday driving long way to there also it's fun for them.

I'm happy to hear so that ,they always say summer is busy to enjoy with friends and they say they work for that ,yes young as young they have good time ,now they return to daily life .

I liked to travel to east Africa when I was young same age as my children, since 19 years old till 30 years old most of time I spent time in Nairobi in Kenya and my children also they spent time 5years in Nairobi.

They started speak three languages Swahili language with Kenyan people and English with European friends and Japanese language with me it was when they were 2 years old and first son was 3 years old.

They learn to speak different language from our neighbors,and their little friends also they used speak three languages when they are play they speak Swahili or English outside and with their family they spoke their mother tun Ethiopian , Indian , Somalian ,or Kenyan their own tribe languages.So for my children were just normal thing to speak different languages depend on parson who talk with.

One day one of my British friend asked me how I teach them ? But I said it's not me they learn from their friends when they play and they used see people are speaking different language even Kenyan people they have their own tribe languages and speak Swahili too.But only one thing I was wonder how they realize

when person are speaking English they answered in English and person when they speak to my children Swahili they answered in Swahili ? That's my friend was asked me question because they were still so smallmy second son was only 2 years old and first son was only 3 years old.They liked to talk with people so much, and when they play the used to speak in English between brothers. Since that time we lived 5 years in Nairobi after we returned to Japan they learn to speak Japanese very quick they surprised me.But most things they learn through communication with people was culture, they learn to respect elder parson , kindness,honest, and care to younger theses they learn when they were small it is very important and they have these mind still now.

One day we were watching evening news there was fire works Festival in Paris it was beautiful I thought so that spent money was three hundred millions yen when my son heard so what he said to me " how can spend money like that better buy foods for children of crisis " he was 11years old. He was sometimes explain to me Japan is very peace because he knows there are many children are in crisis in the world

and we have seen tank front of our house in Burundi when they were 5 years old.

My sons and daughter are life with freedom that is normal life , I wish all other children in the world their life also to be so.

August again

Many things have gone a far away by time usually because we are living forward by time.

August is come again this year too,15th August is Day of The End of World War Two in this country Japan there is ceremony of mourning for who lost their life 63 years ago, and we had repeating this Day of National Ceremony every year still now and we'll repeat to pray forever for protect nation's peace and also for wishing peace in the world.

When every August has come we remind our country's sad history what happened 63years ago, and who works for media or who works TV programs or who works for movies or writer they try to explain about World War Two to telling to next generation to not repeat the war again.Even there is animation movie for children how people were lost their life in Hiroshima World War Two, this story is very sad story to see, that's why people are try to explain for children or young generations what was wrong and it was fact in this country's history. And also on TV program is making short movies of World War Two in Japan, how it was sad for family who survived and also what was wrong led to that terrible history. At that time it was old Japanese government was controlled nation through the school education,now all nation knows that such things was very wrong history had happened in our country's history .Everyone are accept what was wrong so we shouldn't repeat it again for protect our children's peace and for their future and we know that.

Now we are living in peace this 63years so people are trying to protect this peace,when every August has come we are realize it through media most on TV they always repeating " we have to tell to next generation what happened 63years ago and it was wrong history and many people lost their life was sad history in our country ." People are try to remind that sad history in August every year because time might take it far away , but it shouldn't forget and we have to tell children how peace is important . This is August in my country , and it's every year we'll see on TV to understand this country's wrong history .When I watch the TV I really realize people are very serious to protect the peace for children.

In daily life peace is as usually but there are many people try to work in many kind of occupations through their work to protect this peace for children , for their smile and for children's future..

When we look the future sometimes we need to look at past and need to learn from the past.

World is small

These days we are easy to travel to other country in some hours later we can be foot down on the where we want be for sightseeing or for business anything else .I thought when I was travel " world is very small,not much big" because if we take airplane it's easy to reach to another country after 5 hours and then within another 10 hours we can reach to another country again,to meeting other cultures or learning their languages.

I had learn Swahili language when I was 18 years old for travel to east Africa ,professor was told us to learning languages is same as learning their cultures to respect their cultures, and also to understand another culture will be way to more understanding human been, and it was true I could met really wonderful people , I could learn many things from people who I could meet in east Africa, kindness ,to help each other. The professor was anthropologist , he was in Tanzania in 1960 when he shown us his 8mm films we surprised it was before I born he was already in Tanzania to researching Swahili culture.

When Beijing Olympic was opening ceremony I was watching it on TVwith my daughter and then we saw a beautiful pigeon on screen and we wished peace in the world I think everyone thought so. Next day there was game then I read news paper to see the picture of a medalist of my country and that behind that page what we saw was a picture of people screaming under the battle,how? It is so sad and really unfair .Because I was watching Olympic game with my daughter and we exited to cheering Judo contest till he got gold medal it was after that when I read news paper ,I couldn't believe it.It 's so terrible I didn't feel to watch the Olympic games on TV in my living room. What is border ? They are just their neighbor

country ,how ? I can not understand such unfair human right.Can not stop the war? The world can not be peace it's almost impossible to solve the problem of global warming, for what ?because if impossible to build the peace over the world I think nothing we can solve more than that.If we can not protect human right how we can protect to other species it's impossible.Human can not give the fair human right for children how to solve other problem I don't understand .

In beginning of this August there was Peace Declaration in Hiroshima 63 years ,more than half century have past in history but human never learn or never change ? It's still repeating terrible history during 63years , when will be peace in the world.

Crossing the bridges

There are bridges for wildlife over the road, some years ago there was problem that road had constructed for human life divided forests ,it made wildlife's area had divided as same as by road everywhere so problem was bears or deers need more large area for their territory otherwise they will be reduce their group, they need to move more large space all over the country somehow, so by map in their area what was obstacle the road had made smaller area to live. then people built bridges over the road ,bears or deers or monkeys are crossing the bridges moving forests to forests .It had built only for them not human using that .

When I watched on TV that deers are crossing the bridge in forest over the road I thought it's so wonderful ! I wanted say it had built for you deers ! It was wonderful scene ,and I felt that plan was so kindness for them.

We don't know how wildlife live their life in mountain all over the country but some experts are finding their problem which has brought by human, if there is need to find solution they are always try to act for them and they gave us information what is better way to protect wildlife,in this daily life we live with technology and also we can not forget living with nature that our life is provided by nature .

So I like to looking up the mountain from city feel great and respect ...
