My name is Ando Kazutaka. Please call me Andy. I come from Osaka, Japan.
To talk about Japan , I want to contrast Japan to U.S.A.
From economic view, as you know U.S is the strongest country and Japan is the third country by measure of GDP. GDP means gross domestic product which measure how the country prospers. The population of U.S is about 200000000 people and of Japan is 100000000 people.So, it is always said that the population of U.S is twice as large as of Japan, In the result , GDP of U.S also became twice.
From political view , U.S government has power over Japan because of the history that U.S army won ex-Japan army in the World War2.
Move on my town that I grow up.Osaka is the second largest city in Japan. There is even the plan that Japanese government might try to change the capital city from Tokyo to Osaka , but it is just rumor. I grow up in Nanko which means south harbor in Japanese and always felt a sea breeze. Some big ship usually be at anchor in the harbor. Of course, my town have a lot of good points. For example, There is a big store whose name is ATC like a wall-mart and a lot of people come there in weekend and Cars can't enter my town except police car or ambulances, so we have clean air , there is a good publish transportation and it is easy for us to go to the center of Osaka. But we have a few problem. For example, sea pollution or a decrease in population. Now the mayor of Osaka try some pollution-control measures or make it easy to get a housing loan in order to improve condition for resident and attract them . This is my town.
Finally ,I introduce my family. mother's name is Kaoru , father's name is Atushi ,younger sister's name is Hikaru. And near my house , there is a grand father's home.
Andy thanks for your detailed post today. Your town sounds beautiful as I love to be near the ocean as well! Vermont is probably very different, but I hope you will enjoy your time here!
