☆Destination☆
I want to go to Orchard and Sentosa because they are both convenient. Orchard is the center of the shopping area, so we can buy many souvenier from cheap one to expensive one. Sentosa is famous leisure island, so we can see Singapore history and also we can enjoy aquarium.Moreover in little India, china town and Arab street, we can enjoy various Asian food! Especially I want to eat fish head curry because we can eat it only in china town! Also, in China town, I want to try foot reflexology(that is foot massage.) because I can try it cheaply!


☆Hotel☆
Pan Pacific Singapore
This hotel is chosen No.1 among 226 hotels in Singapore(Trip advisor.com )
The hotel is very equipped with all facilitates for all types of travellers - family, business travelers, kids..
Moreover, close to some very good shopping malls
220dollars per 1 night

When I looking for a hotel, good value, central location and nice hotel facilities.
"Chic Boutique hotel in a central location". I think Pan Pacific hotel is like that hotel.





☆Optional Information☆
①Night safari
Night safari is one of the most enjoyable spot of Singapore. You may think there are also night safari in Japan. But, there are difference between Japanese one and Singapore's one. In Singapore's night safari, we enjoy watching animals by slowly walking ! So you can enjoy watching animals by walking with your friends. I think it will be unforgettable experience!

②culture of food
People of Singapore often eat out, so you can eat delicious local foods on the cheap. Howker center is a group of stands of local foods, and you can eat one foods in 2~4 Singapore dollars($1=about 63yen ). In Singapore, more than 100 howker center(from big one to small one). So, I want to go one of there.

Movie Review

title:Happy feet

when:2006

where:the Antarctic

key characters:Ｍｕｎｂｌｅ、Ｇｌｏｒｉａ、Ａｍｉｇｏｓ

　

This is one of the my favorite movie.

Ｉｎ a country of the Antarctic, there are many imperial penguins who enshrine heart's song. Mumble is a boy who is terrible at singing ,but very good at dancing a tap. He is not able to stop his dancing ,so other penguins who treasure heart's song despise him. After a party of graduation ceremony, even though other penguins enjoy singing, Mumble is depressed because he sing a terrible song there and otheres boo at him. Then without notice, he arrives at other country. Then, he meets 5 penguins, Amigos. And, he surprised that they praise Mumble's dancing. Mumble and Amigos go back to imperial penguin's country, however the elders who enshrine tradition order Mumble to exile from a country because they think that Mumble's dancing has a bad infuluence(decreasing of foods) on penguin's country. From then on Mumble start to travel to find a cause of bad influence with Amigos. What's the cause and how mumble will be?

Ｆirst, I want to say about the soundtrack. Ｍｕｓｉｃ　ｉｓ　necessary for this movie. From music we can see various feelings of penguins, and we can enjoy not only from eyes but also from our ears. Ｍｏｒｅｏｖｅｒ, computer graphichs are surprisingly real. Before watchig, I can not imagine that penguin dances tap, but after watching it, it becomes usual thing that penguins dance. In addition, of course I reccomend children to watch this, but it's never childish movie. Men and women of all ages can enjoy this, so I recommend you to see this with your family.It looks like a light, entertaining movie, but at end you will notice it is thought-provoking movie. Happy feet is worthy to win an academy award.

Guess the movie

In a far away, long ago kingdom, ********** is living happily with her mother and father until her mother dies. **********'s father remarries a cold, cruel woman who has two daughters, Drizella and Anastasia. When the father dies,**********'s wicked stepmother turns her into a virtual servant in her own house. Meanwhile, across town in the castle, the King determines that his son the Prince should find a suitable bride and provide him with a required number of grandchildren. So the King invites every eligible maiden in the kingdom to a fancy dress ball, where his son will be able to choose his bride. ********** has no suitable party dress for a ball, but her friends the mice, lead by Jaques and Gus, and the birds lend a hand in making her one, a dress the evil stepsisters immediately tear apart on the evening of the ball. At this point, enter the Fairy Godmother, the pumpkin carriage, the royal ball, the stroke of midnight, the glass slipper, and the rest, as they say, is fairy tale history.
