Power Spot

Japanese tends to pray to the God when we have some difficulties.  For the Japanese, some traveling companies organize a tour to visit some places which is called a power spot; it's said that it has a strong power and an energy.  In fact, a few tourists get a good fortune after traveling that place.  Most of them are in a nature.  The purpose is to visit the power spot, so tourists don't have any activity just feeling the nature there.  Every place is beautiful, mysterious, and energetic.  When people feel tired, annoyed, and sick, they become eager to go there.  The number of tourists is increasing little by little recently because Japanese might get tired.  However, sometimes, we can receive a good benefit from the power spot.  That's why the tourist visiting there is increasing. 

Three Cups of Tea

I've heard a story like this, so I knew the ending vaguely.  However, I was surprised at various Greg's experiences; kidnap, to meet a king, big coopration from a rich man, al-Qaeda and so on.  Of course, I think that main idea is correct, but I don't beleive in everything.  But many part of this stories makes me think of my life.  We can live happily every day without difficulties.  I've never think that if I could't go to school, what should I do?  Our life is so happy, for this reason, I learned a lot from this book.  First, I was impressed by Greg's passion.  He was always agressive to his goals.  Thanks to him, there were many people who were changed their future, and he saved a lot of lives.  Second, I learned that I should always keep a cool head from Ali Haji, even I face to difficult problem.  To keep a cool head is a best way to solve my problem.  Finally, supporting an important person like a Tara is very difficult.  But it is valuable a lot for us.  In this book, there are some worthy lessons for me.  It was very hard to read every week, but it was good to think of our life.
