In this blog, I will write about international night event held on 2nd November. This event was that we introduce our own culture, so we introduced origami, the traditional paper craft, and traditional cloth, yukata. This event was very beneficial experience for me. I was very happy that many people were interested on yukata, but explaining how to wear yukata or how to make a crane by origami. Also, in this event, I have to translate some words to teach Japanese culture because there are some unique custom in Japan. I think that I do not know about my own country through this activity. For example, one Taiwanese asked me about the origin of yukata, but I cannot answer this question because, actually, many young people wear yukata in a summer festival, but they might not consider about this origin. Also, when I taught how to make a crane to children, it was very difficult for me to teach this because I forgot almost all step of creating this complicated craft. In the past, I was used to make various sorts of paper craft. Recently, however, I have not had opportunities to do that. During this activity, I could learn other countries. I was very surprised that many countries have their own traditional costume. There were a lot of beautiful, gorgeous and unique clothes. Through this event, I want to learn about my own country and other countries more than before. I will never forget this experience.

In this blog, I will write about the traveling to the Gros Morne National Park on 9th November. I looked forward to going to see beautiful landscapes. However, actually, I just saw white snow because of the terrible weather. In addition, this weather made us get in two troubles. First trouble is that our car dropped out of a road because driver could not identify whether a road or not caused by piled snow and our car could not move. Second one is that our car slipped and could not go forward, so we had to push the car. Moreover, when the car started to move, a driver did not stop and kept driving to Deer Lake, so we, excluding a driver, were left in terrible weather. However, I do not think this experience was bad because I could know Newfoundlanders were so kind that they helped us a lot. When we dropped out of the road, many people, who found our car, talked to us and call to police and supported us to pull up the car. Also, when we were left in terrible weather, very gentle Newfoundland couple stopped and said us to ride the car. In addition, although their destination was not Deer Lake, they drove there. Many people said that Newfoundlanders are very kind. I was very surprised how kind they are and assure this opinion through this experience. Also, I learned the importance of explaining clearly because the cause that we were left in terrible weather was a lack of clear communication. In the future, if I see someone who gets in troubles, I will help them as much as I can like Newfoundlander couple.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
