The e-book was amazing! That was the first time I use the real one. I hope e-book would be a poplupar reading style in all over the world. It would be great that I can read Japanese book in U.S.
Chapter 11:
The blog assingment, watching news in TV, let me recognize American news show. I rarely watch TV, especially news, in America, so that was a good chance to watch it. There were many differences between Japanese news and American news. Japanese has much more entertaiment in the news show than American.

Week 8
I watched ‘abc7’ bay area news.
News was 10 min.
Advertisement was 10min and 30 seconds.
Weather report was 2 min.
Sports news was 4min and 30 seconds
“Happy talk” was 2min 30 seconds
Lead story was about missing baby, Shown Williams. In this morning, a baby body was found in a lake in Berkeley. So police is inspecting whether the body is Williams.
I think because this news is only about bay area, and the children’s news always can catch audience attention. The reporter voice sounded really serious and she seemed to worry about the baby.

MOVIE
UP (2009) by Disney
I watched this in a theater.
This was the first 3-D movie for me. I love both the effect and story. Before I watched it, I thought it is just a Disney animation for kids. However, I was really moved by the story. It is not just an ordinal animation.
