Since Japanese weddings are expensive, do you think having a massive wedding like Korea or UAE is a good idea? Eloping? Having it in a foreign location like Hawaii?What is your ideal wedding? What would you definitely do or wear or go to on that big day? Why is that important?
I don't really like the idea of a massive wedding.. I can understand why people do them, but for me, weddings are something really personal. A massive wedding sort of takes the magic outta it..
I have no problems with couples who decide to elope; I actually think it is sort of romantic! But however romantic I think eloping may be, if I were to ever do it my mother would kill me. So eloping isn't an option for me. Foreign locations for weddings are a good idea too. :)
As for my own wedding, because I am already engaged I have already started planning it.. it won't be for around two years, but my whole family will be there, I'll have my own white dress (because my mother's is too small for me to wear), and the color theme is dark blue, light blue, and white. :) ... I think its going to be a little expensive...

Homework #5- Superstitions
We talked about many superstitions in many countries, but do you think it is important to talk about them? Why?Is communication affected by superstitions?Do you believe in Japanese superstitions? If so, what superstitions, what do they mean and why do you do,use, or believe in them?
I think it's important to study other countries' superstitions because if we were to ever travel to another country, we wouldn't want to make anyone uncomfortable or cause any awkward situations by accidently doing something they considered superstitious. Also, it's really interesting to study. :)
I don't really believe in (American) superstitions, but I still sometimes react to them. Like if I see someone open an umbrella indoors or walk under a ladder, I'd be sort of shocked and think 'uh-oh.. thats not good..'. But sometimes superstitions are just fun because they can make life a little more interesting. Like if Im with my friends in a restaraunt and someone knocked over the salt shaker, we could tease them a little and say they have bad luck. We don't really believe it, but its just fun to tease eachother.

Homework #4- Time
The English language has many proverbs and sayings about time.
1. Time is money.
Heres an example: If I don't spend my time wisely now and study, I won't get a good job, and won't have money. So.. spending my time wisely now means I may have more money in the future.
2.A stitch in time saves nine.
If you solve a problem now and get it out of the way, it'll save you from a lot MORE trouble in the future. One problem can turn into many, so you should just take care of things as they happen.
3.There's no time like the present.
I like to think of this phrase as saying 'stop worrying about the future, don't let the past bother you, and just focus on the here and now'. If you spend your time not paying to the present, you'll miss a lot of whats going on around you.
4. Fashionable late.
Fashionably late means arriving at a party just before its considered rude to arrive late.. like, 10 or 15 minutes. Everyone in my family tends to do this...
