Hikari Shimizu - Story of Yanxi Palace

Are you interested in Chinese historical dramas? Have you ever seen this drama, Story of Yanxi Palace? If you answer no, you should watch this drama right now! You will probably like this very much.

It is a Chinese historical drama which was broadcasted in 2018. It was also broadcasted in Japan from August to December 2022, and I watched it every day. Even after the broadcast, I still love it, so I review the recordings and videos on YouTube many times.


There are many reasons why I like this drama, but I would like to focus on three of them. First of all, all of this drama is beautiful. It actually uses the Forbidden City, a World Heritage site in China, and its costumes and accessories faithfully reproduce the splendor of that era.


Moreover, there are many scenes that are very simple and exciting, so anyone can easily understand and enjoy them. In addition, since it is a Chinese drama, all of the lines are in Chinese. It is very difficult to watch dramas in a language that you have never studied before, but it will be a great way to study Chinese for beginners because the same vocabulary and short lines appear over and over again.


There is a full version on YouTube, so if you are interested in it, you can watch it from the link :)

    I've been to 'the Forbidden City' before and it is indeed a place embued with extraordinary splendour. It would be fascinating to watch this drama, I am sure. David :-)

Surveillance Technology - Emi Kawamori

   I think that the advantage and disadvantage of surveillance technology is the debatable problem. In my opinion, the technology of the CCTV camera makes our life much safer. If there was no CCTV camera around the city, there might be a lot of crimes. For example, in the supermarket, it could be much easier to stole the stuffs. In case of on the street at night, the possibility of happened to meet suspicious person would be rise. According to above, the technology of CCTV camera makes our life safer and thanks to it, we don't have to much scared of stranger. Although there are any benefit to us, I sometimes feel little scared of the CCTV camera. When I use the lift, there are often CCTV cameras on the wall. It makes inside of the lift safe, but we cannot know who is watching us.  I feel scared of been seen by someone without my notice. As conclusion, it makes our life safer, but the company which sets the cameras  should make it clear who is watching and how the inf...

Surveillance Technology-Nagisa Kanakubo

  I think surveillance technology is necessary for our safety. However, it can be dangerous thing.  That technology is very useful to prevent crime and keep cities safe. In fact, there are so many CCTV cameras all over my country. And I have never been involved in crime. That tells us thanks to them, we can live more peacefully. However, some of them make me uncomfortable. For example, when I realize that someone is watching my movement, shopping habits and myself, I feel scared even if I don’t have nothing to hide. In other words, I worry that someone can identify me if my personal information is leaked.  In short, surveillance technology is important, but I feel that our privacy may be invaded.

Talk with friends - Sakura Iyama

       Talking with friends makes me feel relieved. However in New Zealand, there are few friends, therefore I’m really into talking with my friends on the phone. Due to the time differences between Japan and New Zealand, it is difficult to do that, however its difficulty makes me think that I should value my time.        For example, the time to communicate with family and friends that I used to talk to before coming here is precious time and without that, I would not be able to be happy.  Therefore, in my opinion, making phone calls is not only difficult but also makes me feel happy.
