Hakone, Japan (Eiko Saito)

In Japan, it is believed that if you eat a black egg in Hakone, you can live five years longer than you are supposed to.  Hakone is a famous Japanese old town for sightseeing.  You really must go to Hakone if you come to Japan.  There are some hills and mountains, and you can easily go to the top of the mountains by cable car.

At the top of the mountains, you can see Mt. Fuji very clearly.  Many foreigners come to Hakone to see Mt. Fuji.  I’m sure it’s a good value for the time and money.  If it is cloudy, unfortunately, I suggest going to the shops on the top of the mountain.  You can get a black egg boiled in a hot spring.  It’s also very popular among the tourists.  It is believed that you can have a healthy life and live longer than your destiny.

Don’t miss going to Hakone!  You are guaranteed to have a great experience.

Chongno, Seoul – Chris YoungJin Jung

If you have a plan on visiting Seoul, Korea, I suggest you go to ‘Insa-dong’ at first. Along with Insa-dong street, there are restaurants and tea places where you can eat almost all Korean traditional food. Don’t miss Kimchi, which is the most famous dish in Korea, made of white cabbage and red pepper. Across the downtown of Seoul, a long stream which attracts many people bacame the symbol of Seoul. It had been the natural stream till it was filled with cement in 1970’s. The cement was gotten rid of few years ago. You should try walking around some palaces which were built about 600 years ago nearby stream. You can feel the dignity of Chosun dynasty, which was prosperous till 18th century in Korea. The wall surrounding the palaces is such a wonderful and romantic place.

Must-see places in San Diego City (Paulo Duarte)

If you’re visiting San Diego, It’s a must-see ” The California Tower”, a beautiful and huge bell tower in Balboa Park which has a Spanish Moorish architeture that characterizes this area.  Make sure you go to the “Prado Area” and enjoy it’s sheer beauty. There, you can find  are a lot of  amazing gardens where you can stop and read a book, take pictures or simply view the scenery. Don’t miss cruising Mission B ay aboard a Mississipi style wheeler called Bahia Belle. For a romantic tour, don’t miss the magic of Venice just here in San Diego cruising the canals of the Coronado cays in a “gondola”. If you are on a honeymoon, you can spend romantic hours on the serene waters of the bay. I also suggest going to San Diego’s Embarcadero. It’s a place of great scenics views and don’t forget catching the Ferry to Coronado  across the bay. Sunset Cliffs is a must-see. There you can sit on the send and appreciate a marvelous sunset.

Must- see place: Disneyland (Thais)

If you are looking for fun, I’d recommend going to Disneyland, this amusement park is such a magical place where I’m certain everyone will enjoy. There is as big and fast roller coster called Scream for those who like crazy rides and a simulated free-fall elevator, The Hollywood Tower. However, there are plenty of non radical rides for those who are scared of thrill rides. There you can see beautiful parades to delight guests of all ages with their music and Disney characters.

I’d urge you to see the special fireworks show at night that takes place at the Castle and the water show called Fantasmic. Both are amazing! If I were you, I’d try not to go there on weekends because it might be crowded so you ‘ll stay longer in lines. And just so you know the tickets are sort of expensive, but I’m sure it worths .

Must-see place in Brazil – Luigi Sestari

A must-see place in my country would probably be Rio de Janeiro. This beautifull, breathtaking city in the southeast part of Brazil, pretty close to Sao Paulo has an enormous variety of places and activities to do. For instance, it’s possible to just lay back and relax in one of the many astonishing beaches in Rio, such as: Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, Barra da Tijuca , Sao Conrado and many others. On the other hand, it’s also possible to have different activities if you are an adventurous person, for example: climbing the Pao de Acucar, have surf lessons at many beaches offered in the city and jogging at the Calcadao. In addition, for certanly a must-see monument in Rio de Janeiro is the well-known Cristo Redentor, a huge sculpture of Christ with his arms wide open. For some people, it’s believed that his gesture represents a sense of protection for the inhabitants of Rio de Janeiro.

A must-see place – Coronado in San Diego (sola)

If you have a chance to go to San Diego in America, I suggest that you go to Coronado, which is an island. There is the bridge which is connected Coronado and San Diego’s downtown. It’s a little bit long , and look like a crown. That’s why Coronado nicknamed ‘The crown city’. You can look down on all San Diego  while you are crossing over by car.

No matter what you do in Coronado, you can really feel comfortable and chill out. Above all, there is the beach which looks so beautiful and shining becasue of reflection of the sunlight. There are people who are coming with their family or lover to enjoy the beach. Also, it’s guiet, even there’re not sometimes any cars on the street.

Next, the place you must see in Coronado is  ‘Coronado Hotel’. It looks luxurious and gorgeous. Even though you are not a guest of the hotel, you can look  round hotel and go inside. Especially, if you go there on Chrismas season, you can see shining hotel because lots of  small light bulbs are hanging on the building.  If you see it far away from the hotel, it looks like a post card’s picture.

Finally, it’s a good way to stop by ‘extraordinary dessert’, which is dessert restaurant in San Diego, before you go to Coronado to take a piece of cake. And then, you can eat it on  the beach while you are watching the scenery. You feel like you are in the fantastic world.

The problem of Pizza Hut by MARIO

We know that Pizza Hut has one of the most famous and delicious pizzas in the world. They have all kinds of pizzas with all types of cheese, bacon,ham,onion, etc. But there’s a problem there. In some stores, the service is not the best. They really have to fix that because it is a very important feature for the clients or customers. I’m sure that lot of people don’t prefer Pizza Hut anymore, if they really want to raise the number of customers. They have to improve the service in stores and delivery’s.

Let’s go to Westfield-UTC- by Asami

Do you like shopping? If you like shopping, you have to go to Westfield UTC. This shopping mall is close to EC-San Diego.

How do you get to this shopping mall from EC-San Diego by bus? First, we take #30 bus. After that, we get off at the last bus stop. It’s easy for us. Actually, this mall has over 150 stores and 3 department stores. For example; there is Macy’s, Abercrombie&Fitch, Guess, American Eagle Outfitters and Gap….. If we go there, we will now wear all the popular fashions in America. However, this mall is smaller than other shopping malls in San Diego. But, we can easily what we want because this mall isn’t too large. And there are a lot of benches on this mall. If we’re so tired from shopping, we can sit on the bench and take a rest. It’s comfortable for us.

However, we have to pay attention to shopping hours. We can go shopping on the weekdays from 10:30am-8:30pm but on Sunday, it is from 11:00am-6:00pm. Unfortunately, we will go shopping on Saturday on this mall for a short time. Be careful!
