Japanese Geography Project 2 ~旅行の記憶( 二 )

This time I'm going to introduce another place in Japan!

It is Matsushimakaigan(松島海岸) which is far away from the metropolitan areas such as Shinjuku(新宿).

It is also one of the top 3 scenery in Japan, many visitors including local Japanese come and visit the place.

One of the special things in there I think is the beautiful scenery and we can travel around the island by sight seeing ship. The time travel is around 45mins.

The big ship brings me to explore this island oh~ ^c^

There is an interesting point is you can feed the sea gulls! There are so many sea gulls flying towards you!!!It's so funny and you really feel you are close to the nature~

Yup! What I'm trying to do is to feed the sea gull !!It comes to me !!

They love eating Calbee chip *v*

During the 45mins trip, all around you are blue sea and many unique shape islands, there is an broadcast introducing the history of those lovely islands e.g. How they can form ?What's there name? You will know more about them!

Different islands have their own shape._.

After this trip, I do feel the power of the environment and thanks God for giving us these treasurable things!!

See! It's difficult to find in Hong Kong ~

K-ON!! goods advertisement

(source:http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/k-on/goods/goods2_14.html)

This is from the animate K-ON!! official website. This is one of the advertisement for promoting products. The word used ビック which means big and large. And this word is translated from English word "BIG". This is one type of katakana  ( loads words). Besides, I am just wondering why katakana ビック is used but not the usual word wriiten in hiragana おおきい？ Since using katakana, there is a emphasized function; and this is an advertisment on the website, so using ビック in katakana can enhace the message which is large and easily draw the visitiors' attention.

This is a menu from a ramen restaurant in Causeway Bay. It is easy to understand why the menu is also explained in Japanese as the target customers of this restaurant not only are the Hong Kong people, but also the Japanese in Hong Kong. On the other hand, including Japanese explanation can create an atmosphere which is similar to the restaurant in Japan. Many Hong Kong people are so admired to Japan, so they will think that this restaurant is specialized Japanese restaurant.
