Public seating in Japan

2011-12-16T11:22:00.002+09:00

I think there should be more benches and seats in streets in Japan. We don't have places to rest, and eventually we only go home. However, the streets in japan are so narrow, so there is no space to put it. Besides, if benches or seats are put in the street, young people occupy them, and older people can't seat it maybe. This is a very difficult problem.

2011-12-16T11:09:00.002+09:00

Why do many adults die? And why are many children left behind?

In Swaziland, many adults die by HIV and AIDS. Maybe they are not educated about the problem of sex, and they don't have the idea about preventing them from infecting venereal disease. However, children don't suffer from HIV, even if they have HIV in their bodies, so there are many children in Swaziland.

illumination

2011-12-16T10:49:00.007+09:00

I went to Omotesando Hills to see the illumination with my friend yesterday.
The illumination is celebrating for Walt Disney's 110th anniversary, so there are many Disney characters.
It was very beautiful and so cute!! XD
It is near the Aoyama campus, so I recommend you to go when you have to go to Aoyama campus.

Public Seating in Japan

2011-12-16T08:24:00.002+09:00

Why are there few public seating in Japan?

I think that the narrowness of the land of Japan caused this situatiuon. We do not have extra space for public seating.

A Heart for Africa

2011-12-16T08:07:00.003+09:00

Why not the children but the adults die in Swaziland?

I think it is because it takes a certain time to exhibit symptoms of AIDs.
So, the Children that left alive will also become AIDs when they get older.

Public Seating in Japan

2011-12-16T07:21:00.002+09:00

Do you think more public seatings are needed?

I think more benches should be set along the streets in Japan. There are lots of elderly persons because of the aging society, so benches may help them. Especially, they are needed in famous places. Many foreigners visit the places and such places are generally crowded, so they will be tired because of it.

A Heart for Africa

2011-12-16T07:11:00.003+09:00

Why more adults died in Africa than children?

In Africa, hygiene are not controlled sufficiently, and there are not much menical treatments. I think that is why most Adults in the country suffered from AIDS. Because of it, lots of children are left.

A Heart for Africa

2011-12-16T03:35:00.002+09:00

Why not children but the adult died?

I think it's because the outbrake of AIDS takes long time.
So, the present situation of Swaziland doesn't mean that children are not on a knife's edge but they also would die when they grow up.

canceling classes

2011-12-16T00:15:00.002+09:00

I usually have Reading and Listening classes in afternoon Thursday. However, we had no class today. So, I had only second period, French class. So I went to Disneyland after the class to watch a parade. All of you didn't have final period, listening class, did you? What did you do??

Public Seating In Japan

2011-12-15T23:52:00.003+09:00

I do think Japan needs to set more public seating. We may not sit in there very often, but the population of old people in becoming bigger and bigger. We should concern more about what they need. And a public seat is just what they need when they feel tired at walking and want to have a rest. To make more public seat is a good start.

Public seating in Japan

2011-12-15T23:51:00.000+09:00

I think it is an good idea to put some seats in public area. Today, almost all of have cellphones and it is easy to get in touch with others. We can know our friends life without meeting thanks to e-mail and SNS. However, I think it is very important to meet friends and talk on face-to-face. So, if there are more public seats, we can talk more easily. Some people say if we have public seats, teenagers will have them to themselves and people who really want to use them cannot use do. But I think it is not only to be said about teenagers. We can solve the problem by setting priority seats.

A Heart For Africa

2011-12-15T23:48:00.002+09:00

It is a difficult question why adults dye leaving their children. It is may be because of HIV, hunger, poverty. However, I think it is because parent's love of their children. If I have a children, live there, and we are so poor, I want to let my children eat as many as possible. I will give all food. It I had some money, I will buy them some clothes. That is, I will give them what I have. Therefor, parents cannot live longer.

Hearts of Africa

2011-12-15T23:45:00.002+09:00

I think the reason why the adults in Swaziland are dying because of ADIS but children can still alive is because that the medication to control HIV in there is far more better than before. May be some of them is carrying HIV, but they started the treatment when they was very young. So they can live in a very long time .that's why in Swaziland there is only children left.

Public seating in Tokyo, Yokohama

2011-12-15T23:19:00.000+09:00

I think we hadn't better install the punlic seating in a city that has many young people, such as Shibuya. If we install it in Shibuya, many young would mass the space, and it would be used as a hangout. The atmosphere in Shibuya will be worse. However, we had better install it in a city that has elder people, such as Sugamo.

A Heart for Africa

2011-12-15T23:02:00.000+09:00

Africa doesn't develop the education and medical treatment. Many adults in Africa can't receive enough education, so they don't have enough knowledge for HIV. Also, If African adults contract HIV, they can't be treated enough because medical treatment doesn't develop. That's why, adults die leaving their children.

I have lots of homework and tests. And I haven't finished IT skills. Its due will come before soon so I will finish it at any cost.

Public seating in Japan

2011-12-15T21:18:00.002+09:00

I think that the place where the public seatings should be built depends. Like in the video we have watched in the last class, the interview was recorded in Shibuya center street where lots of teenagers gather and hang out. Place like that don't have to have public seatings because elderly people rarely go there.

Heart for Africa

2011-12-15T21:07:00.002+09:00

I think because of lack of knowledge about HIV, adults in Swaziland get the disease. We are be careful not to touch someone's blood because we know it causes HIV sometimes, but maybe they don't know.

Children don't have a chance to touch others' blood so much. Adults have to help injured people if they're there.

A Heart for Africa

2011-12-15T19:49:00.002+09:00

Why not the children but the adults die in Swaziland?

I think it is because of sexual relationship even if they don't have enough knowledge about HIV or AIDS. Also, I hit upon more more reason. That is the time lag until the disease happens.

I hope the number of orphans will decrease.

Heart for Africa

2011-12-15T19:45:00.002+09:00

Why do many adults die by HIV/AID in Swaziland? And why are only children left behind?

I think the reason why many adults die by HIV/AID in Swaziland is because the incubation period of HIV virus is long. What is more, people in Swaziland have more knowledge of diseases than before, so the number of people who contract such diseases decreased.

Public Seating In Japan

2011-12-15T19:07:00.002+09:00

There are few seats in public in Japan. If the number of seats increase, I think young people gather around seats, and I think it's not good.

I want to sit down when I'm tired, and I think if there were seats. However, people spend days even if there are few seats, so I think it is OK to continue this situation.

Public Seating in Japan

2011-12-15T19:03:00.002+09:00

Why are there few public seating in Japan?

I think the reason why there are few public seating in Japan is that most Japanese people don't like to take a rest in public. Maybe, although some people need places to take a rest, there are no public places to take a rest comfortably because of other thoughtless people.

Public Seating in Japan

2011-12-15T16:55:00.005+09:00

Should there be place to sit down?

I think public seating is not necessary in Japan.
We are get used to going to cafe or restaurant when we want to take a rest, so there is no need to make public seating for us Japanese people though it is inconvenient for foreign people who came Japan for traveling.

Public Seating in Japan

2011-12-15T16:54:00.003+09:00

I think if there were public seating, we could eat or drink outside much easily.
However, I don't think we really need the public seating bacause I think we will not use them so much anyway. In rainy season, no one would sit outside. In the summer, it is too hot outside and we would get dehydration. In the winter, it is too cold so most people would prefer to rest inside. Also, Tokyo is a big city and always crowded. There is no space for public seating.

A Heart for Africa

2011-12-15T16:43:00.002+09:00

I think mainly there are two factors of more adults dying than children.
First, HIV takes long time to cause AIDS, so more adults are infected with AIDS than children.
Second, women have many babies. It means they have a risk of dying everytime they give birth to their babies.

Public Seating in Japan

2011-12-15T15:16:00.002+09:00

Why are there few public seating in Japan?

I think Japan has many building in the city, so there are no space for public seating. And Japan
is an automobile society. People use their cars when they move, not walking. But I think Japan needs to put public seating more. In this city like Tokyo, there are many people and building, so we feel very tired even we are there. We have to take a rest more, so it's necessary to put it.

Heart for America

2011-12-15T15:05:00.002+09:00

Why is it the adult who are dying leaving children?

I think Swaziland's medical care doesn't develop so much. As our country, Japan, there are many doctors, developping medicine and medical devices. Because of that point, many people can recover from disease. I suggest to send them for Swaziland. That can help Swaziland's adult, I think.

Heart for Africa

2011-12-15T09:42:00.002+09:00

According to what I hear, HIV takes a long time to appear a symotom from getting infected. For that reason, I think Adults die by HIV more than children in Swadiland. Also, Africa perhaps don't develop medical treatment, so there are a lot of occasions to be infected by HIV.

Public seating in Japan

2011-12-15T09:29:00.002+09:00

Campared with foreign countries, There are few seats in Japan. I think it is inevitable, because there are many people and buildings though Japan is a small country. Maybe, there is no space to make seats. It is sure that public seating is good for us, because we can rest and chat with friends without using money. I think Japan should make a lot of seats in the park existing now.

to Sonoko

2011-12-15T00:28:00.004+09:00

I also had a very good time today although we couldn't watch a movie.lol

We bought lots of things in spite of the limited money.

I was happy because I could buy watch. Thank you for your helping to look for it!

Today, I ate Wonka chocolate for the first time. (I've longed to eat it.)

And Sonoko and I drunk tapioca juice. They were very delicious!

Thank you, Sonoko!

This is the video of "Memories" by Within Temptation, again.

I think this video has a story. You'll understand more if you look at the lyrics!

Public seating in Japan

2011-12-14T22:05:00.002+09:00

I think there're few public seating in Japan. If we want to rest, we should go to cafe or something.

And if there're public seating, sometimes it's too dirty to sit down.

I think because there are not park so much, we can't sit down. In park, there're many benches and we can sit on grass, too.

I took this photo at the entrance in my house.

Really messy! What's the spray can?! :/

Public Seating in Japan

2011-12-14T18:49:00.003+09:00

Why there are few public seating in Japan?

There are little space in Japan, so Japanese would like to secure seats. They do this act anytime even in seeing the cherry blossoms or fireworks. If the seats are put on public space, the seats are full of anytime because this national character is reflected on it.

2011-12-14T18:12:00.002+09:00

Why not the children but the adults die in Swaziland?

It takes several time to die by AIDS. I think a lot of people begin to have sex from adolescence, so the percentage of dying increase sharply at the age of beginning adults.

Heart for Africa

2011-12-14T10:46:00.002+09:00

Why do many adults die for HIV in Swaziland?

I think it is because there are no protections. Many adults are not having enough education. So, they don't have knowledge about the risk of AIDS. Also, there have no money to go to the hospital and cannot get medicine for their disease. That leads to few adults in Swaziland and many orphans.

Public Seating in Japan

2011-12-14T10:37:00.002+09:00

I see many public seating in the States. Wherever I go there are benches everywhere. So, when I get tired I used to sit down on them. However, I don't see a lot of public seating in Japan. But I don't usually look for it. Because I don't walk around like tourists do. If I think about the tourists, public seating is needed. But if there are too much benches, young people would gathered around it. It was said in the interview. That doesn't make a nice environment. So, too much public seating is not necessary.

to Sonoko

2011-12-13T23:45:00.004+09:00

I'll watch movie with Sonoko tomorrow.
I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Public seating in Japan

2011-12-13T21:10:00.002+09:00

I think the roads in Tokyo or Yokohama are narrow so there are no place to make benches. More, if we make public seating in such cities, the young may stay there and it become hindrance and more difficult to get thorough the road.
In my opinion, Japanese people doesn't become familiar with being looked by someone while they are seating. If there are benches at city road and someone sit there, I watch them unconsciously. However, I feel uncomfortable to sit at conspicuous place and don't want to be watched during a break.
I want to sit without paying money but it's difficult in Japan especially in a big city because of that reasons.

I think it is because adults have more sexual relationship compared with children. The more they do it, the more they get risk of appearing AIDS.
In addition, the incubation time is about 10 years so if children have HIV virus, they'll have become adults when AIDS appear. So adults die more than children, I think.

I wish I could taste it! xD

Public Seating in Japan

2011-12-13T16:00:00.001+09:00

We should not to install public seats. If there are seats on the streets, somebody will scribble or break them. Moreover, the streets in Japan are narrow and many corners are in there.

In addition, without seats, people --especially tourists-- will possibly go to the shop they can drink, eat and take a rest. This problem is quite effective for the Japanese economy.

Therefore, There should not be seats to keep the economic situation and public health.

Why do adults in Swaziland die for HIV/AIDS more than children?

HIV/AIDS takes time to show symptoms. It takes from 7 to 10 years. Therefore, if child contract it from mother, he or she will not notice soon. It also takes a long time to die, so they die after they become adults.

Moreover, people in Africa generally have sexual intercourse at the age 15 to 49.Virous can infect people through intercourse. As mentioned above, HIV/AIDS takes years to become ill. This is perhaps one of the reason for death of adults.

Public Seating in Japan

2011-12-10T21:38:00.004+09:00

Do you think more public seating in Japan needed?

In my opinion, there is no need to put more public seating in Japan. Japan has large population in its limited area. There are lots of narrow paths here. If we put more public seating in such a country, different paths will increase. It makes the blind more hard to walk.
When people feel like seating, there are some benches in a park. They should make more use of them.
That's why I think there is no need to put more public seating in Japan.

Why do many adults die by HIV/AID in Swaziland? And why are only children left behind?

I think it's because AIDS takes lots of time to appear (for 10 years or so). If people pick up HIV in their childhood, one does not develop symptoms immediately upon infection with AIDS. Then, after people infected by HIV give birth to babies, they die. That's why lots of adults die by it and many children are left behind.

There are lots of information about HIV/AIDS in Swaziland in this web site. If you have time, please look at this. http://www.avert.org/aids-swaziland.htm

I can't get up in the morning recently too. I was good at getting up early during the first term.
These days I'm busy with my part-time job.It's already 11:30 p.m. when I get home. And it's too cold to get up, so I don't want to get out of my bed.
But I don't want to fail credits any more. I must do what has to be done.
