There is nothing bored in the world.

A traffic light which is in countryside is the most bored in the world. He works every day, if it is rainy day, very hot day and snowy day. However no matter how hard he works, few people use him and no one thanks to him. There are not any his friends close to him. Therefore, he only shine green, yellow and red light alternately through the day. If someone come, he or she will go away soon. Therefore all he can do is his shining work. Because of his work which is not change at all, he fell very bored.

Things which make defining feature of Eritrea

In this post, I will write about Eritrea. Do you know where Eritrea is? I think most of you cannot imagine, so I prepared the map.


By the way, I think that Eritrean culture was made by two things, so I will introduce these things.


First is trade and colonization. Eritrea is near to the Red Sea, so its place is very suitable to trade with other country and Eritrea has long been colonized by other country like Italy. Therefore there is a lot of other country’s culture. So let’s look at these cultural things. At first we will look at Asmara area which is in center of Eritrea. Please look at these pictures↓

They are look like western style. Left photo is Geza Banda area which we can see a lot of western style houses and church. Right photo is Maria Copt shrine. We can see the wonderful fusion of western style and Eritrean style. Also we can see these culture mix structures in Massawa which is in south in Eritrea. In that place, we can see architectures like this↓

Left architecture is old Italy bank, it looks very luxurious and magnificent. It is very damaged by the war. However it is fixing and it will become an exclusive hotel, so we can stay at there in near future. The right photo is Hotel Torino which was built in 1930s. This architecture made in the western and Eritrean mixed style. Considering these architectures and areas, Eritrea has mixed culture.



Second is “coffee ceremony”. Do you know what coffee ceremony is? In fact, I don’t know at all, so I look over it. Coffee ceremony is a kind of ceremony likes Sado which is very popular in Japan. Through drinking coffee, people learn something like decency. They use these tools like this ↓

Only women, most case is housewives, can do coffee ceremony. Then, I will introduce how to do coffee ceremony. At first, prepare the law coffee beans, then roast them closely. Until coffee is made, guests eat bread and something like popcorn with good scent. After finished making coffee, you can drink it. However you have to drink three cups of coffee. Therefore, it will take about one and a half hours from start to end, so you have to be very careful if you visit Eritrean homes. I think coffee ceremony is very similar to Sado, so I think that coffee ceremony can make people learn hospitality and decency.



Third is war. Eritrea has long been colonized by Italy first. After Italy was defeated in the Second World War, Eritrea was dominated by England. Then Ethiopia dominated Eritrea. Then the war which seek for independence is broken out. This war had continued about thirty years. the war was very violent like these↓

Left photo is the place called Tank grave. These tanks are used independent war and rejected after the war, so we can see how violent the war is. Now that, Eritrea is independent country, but the country has many problems like autocracy.

　
Eritrea is mixed various cultures, so I think it is very interesting.

My opinion about the movie which I watched English class.

In this write, I will introduce my opinion about the movie which name is Wanderers.

When I saw this movie first time, I couldn’t understand what this movie is mean. However thorough my many times watching, I can understand little by little.

The first situation of this movie is in the earth and start the space travel. I feel very excited because it refers the start and it have infinite possibility.

The second situation is going around planets of the solar system like the Jupiter and the Saturn. This scene is very clear and beautiful, so I can feel as if I were in the space. Then I saw a planet like the Mars and its space elevator. I hope that the day which the space elevator realizes and many people can enjoy space travel easily.

The third situation may be on the Mars. Using the Mars elevator, pilots finally arrive there. They explore the Mars. However they cannot anything but vast nature. I feel very lonely, because there is nothing, but I was also moved by magnificent nature.

The forth situation may be on the new planet, because I have never seen its form. It looks like cylinder. The space elevator through the center of this planet. I do not really know what this planet is, but I think that it is very fantastic. The fifth situation is some people explore the planet. There is not anything. They and I can only see the planet like the Moon. Then the situation change suddenly. Something may be people flying the planet which may be the Earth with flying device. The reason why I think this planet is the Earth is I saw the ocean. The earth is the only planet which have the ocean in the solar system, so I think that place may be the Earth. I think that flying the sky looks very fun and exciting and I want to try it. Then the scene is change suddenly again. The next scene is some people doing like bungee jumping on the other planet. People jump from on the rugged cliff their background may be the Moon. It looks very exciting.

The last situation is sunrise and a person smiling. I think this scene is the best scene, because I can see the eternal possibility and expectation of wonderful future.

I hope that the day like this movie come soon, because it have a lot of possibilities like the space elevator. It is difficult to go to space now. However if the space elevator was built, we would enjoy space travel easily. And also space has a lot of beautiful things like the scene of sunrise, vast natures and romantic planets. This movie’ illustration is really beautiful, so I feel as if I were in the space and enjoy various things. This movie told me the wonderful future image, so I really impressed and I want to go space travel someday.

I can say this movie is one of the best movie to imagine the future situation.

That’s all. Thank you for reading.
