A stay abroad has different phases

 You might have heard about the "culture shock" or have experienced one yourself already. A culture shock is something which occurs when staying in a different country and the person staying abroad is confronted with two different cultures: the own culture and the foreign culture. If the different foreign culture does not match to the own one, conflicts occur which are quite difficult to clarify. The result out of this is frustration. If frustration has reached a certain level, this is often called a "culture shock". When staying abroad, a culture shock usually occurs in the second phase of your stay.

The first phase is when you are excited and euphoric about the foreign culture because it is different. You are excited about the adventurous experiences you make. People going on holidays are staying only for a short time in a foreign country and often only experience this emotional state. The second phase comes after you have lived in the country for quite a while, now starting to experience problems with the language, the values and norms of the foreign culture.

After the second phase "culture shock", either the person living abroad adopts to the culture and gets a more positive perception of the foreign culture again or remains in the quite frustrated state until he returns to the home country again. If you have adjusted well to the foreign culture, there is a risk that you will have a "culture shock" when returning back to your home country again. Some people then don’t want to return to their home country anymore. Going abroad is always a good experience and it is said that the picture of the world gets broader.

This is the second time to studying abroad in the U.S. for me that is why I choose this article. Learning a new language is tough. But I believe that having communication is the most important in any relationships with English if you are here. Sometimes, I feel like I am talking English well, having good conversations with my friends native speakers, I can read and write English very well as they say but sometimes I don't because I can't... Possibly, you might have same problems as I do? Do not worry about it because I know that we will repeat it while our English will continue to improve!!

Again, now I want to know and learn about expression, way of thinking and "culture" it is too different that is why the article interested me. I have had a lot of experiences already since I came here in Hawaii. People are also nice and friendly. At the end, hold firm when you shake hands!! :) 
  

What is the electromagnetic waves #2

  This is the lists for products must be careful :

Electromagnetic cookers · (IH cooking)Electronic range• MixerElectric stove• Audio etc.Dryer · Washer• Hot PlatesAir-conditioner
Electric blanketElectric blankets laidElectric carpetElectric kotatsu
&
- PC...

I have no ideas!!... These are long, and affect us every day little by little even when we are sleeping. Today, is it impossible to avoid the waves?! Then now I have found some items or good ideas of anti-electromagnetic wave. Those items seem like favored by many athletes and celebrities. I have interested in the effects of the kinds of radiation for humans body because being healthy is priceless. (I can say that for all.) I sleep away from electronics, it is also a good way. I have heard that is a good way, too, to putting some 10￠/dimes to electronics, but I am really not sure about it yet. But one of my sisters does that, haha... That's it!! :)

What is the electromagnetic waves #1

 In an article, electromagnetic waves formed by the changing electric and magnetic fields in space (waves). Also known as electromagnetic radiation. Einstein's special relativity theory building based on the principle of the constancy of the speed of light, it had transformed the concept of time and space it is also known well.
Effects of ionizing radiation to human body, such as ultraviolet rays X-rays, with the damage to the gene for carcinogenicity. International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) carcinogenic assessment conducted in 2001, the low-frequency magnetic fields generated by power lines, etc. "There is a potential human carcinogen" and classified. This is the "coffee" or "gasoline engine exhaust," hit the same level.

The world health organization in 2007 and 2011, carcinogenesis associated with electromagnetic waves, "may" was announced. 

My second Friday

 Since it is my second weekend with my school at HELP. I feel busy in my mind to think about other homeworks, going to laundry, cooking my meal and one of activities "Yoga in Waikiki" for tomorrow early morning, but I'm just sitting the front of my desk with laptop now, hm...

But I came here to learning English hard!! So, I am doing my best. It's Friday, but I'd like to study and reviews this weekend, too, while I'm talking with my roommates. I like to talk, I'd like to have communicates with native speakers as my new friends in English. Sometimes, it's too hard to understand what they are talking about, why they are laughing. But it's good for me because I can learn a lot of things from them, and also they are nice to me.

On my second Friday here, I'm kind of tired but it is not so bad, rather than I feel like my English going to be improvement, and I really hope so. I am living in a dormitory, and they often teach me when I had something like mistakes with my English and how to pronounce. They might tired, but I like to talk with them. This is my second Friday. 

APEC Night

 I went to APEC night in UH with my classmate and her friends after the school yesterday. First, I really didn't know what was going on, and I was just thinking that we can enjoy to have a free dinner there. But, I was so surprised with a lot of people/students in a big hall.

We were walked around in the hall to see the countries boards made by handmades, and we had good conversations with UH students in English. They asked me "where are you from?" and when I had questions, they explained me well. I saw their pictures and read about Vietnam, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Canada and Hawaii etc. I was really interested about them.

After we got eight stumps, we had a dinner and cakes with Thai tea. They were so delicious!! Finally, a speech started and I tried to listen it careful, but was hard for me. Naoko and Yen told me what they were talking about, and I understood what was APEC Night between theire speechs I believe. I had a really good time with Naoko and Yen on the APEC Night!! :)
