Most of the clothes I have are made in China.
Today, it became difficult to find clothes that are made in Japan, or other countries.
Some clothes I bought in the U.S. was made in Vietnam, but most clothes I see were made in China..
Few months ago, when I was browsing news on the Internet, I saw cars made in Chinese factory.
I was very shocked to hear that those didn't meet the German car standards, and they are considered far from safe.
In my image of Chinese manufactures is cheap. I like to buy 100 yen stuff, but those are limited.
For example, I don't buy scissors at 100 yen shop. Because those are mostly made in China and it soon become old and can't be used. In that case I buy scissors that are made in Japan although they cost abut 5-8 times more than those at the 100-yen shop .

AIDS orphans
In the CNN news, I found a news about a girl.
She is a Ugandan who lost her parents because of AIDS when she was only 10 years old.
She had to bring up 2 siblings, one of them was a baby.
She managed live and bring her siblings by washing people's clothes and watering gardens.
Now, she is 14 years old and goes to schol. Her dream is to become a doctor.
I was very impressed with her. If I were she I would not be able to survive..
I think she has a strong mind, and I hope she becomes a doctor.
AIDS is a serious epidemic worldwide.. Some cuntries are very successful preventing AIDS,
but poorer countries are still suffering. I think the economical development can reduce the number of patients, but it will take long time.

Nigeria's growth leaves elderly behind
As the urbanization takes place, it seems that something is left behind.
Traditionally people in Nigeria respect old people.
Today, however, elders are left behind and they can't get enough pension.
Though they invited the governors to the meeting to discuss about it, the governors didn't show up, saying that they were busy.
Young people in Nigeria seems that they don't care about the problem.
In Japan, if the governors did such a thing to the elders, they will be criticized by the public.
Sometimes the public opinions can change the government's point of view.
I think people in Nigeria should take the problem as theirs, not only for the elders.
I know that they are busy care about their situation in recession, but it is also
important to care about socially weak people, too.

10 endangered exports
I was reading the TIME online and found that there are some endangered exports.
10 of those were Italian pasta, French wine, Argentine honey,
German Beer, Vietnamese rice, Spanish fruit and vegetables, Maldivian tourism,
Northern European Vodka, Colorado ski resorts, and Malian cotton.
All of those ae in danger because of global warming and other problems related to it.
Many of the exports are very famous around the world.
If they are to be disappeared, it will be the same as we lose some rich cultures and climates
in the world. That is vey sad.
Besides some of the exports are important for people in Japan, too, because if those
famous foods are lost, the price of those foods will be expensive to buy.

Copenhagen Climate Change Conference
Global warming..
Most people know what it means to the earth.
We know that the earth has changed because of the things we have done to the earth.
Although we know that the climate will be changed and the environment will change
if we don't take action, it is very hard for us to do that because that is a global problem.
In some countries, they try to be environmentally-friendly, but other countries don't care
about the ecology much because they care more about their economic development.
I know that the developing countries don't want to care about the ecology, but it is time to
solve the problem globally for the future.
Also, the U.S. government should take action on global warming, because they are the
most influential government in the world.

62.5%
It seems like that the 2010 university graduates have suffered with the recession.
Only 62.5% of them could find a job.
It is the third lowest points ever.
I hope that the economy gets better soon, because if it doesn't change the bad situation for the
2011 graduates will continue.
Some of my friends had many job interviews, but many of them could find few companies that
actually hire them.
In Okinawa, there are limited jobs that are available because of the recession.
Tourism, which is the No.1 industry in his island, is likely to be influenced by the economy.
It might be important to build up more stable economy in Okinawa, such as computer technology and so on.
