 I have some interesting fact about winter. First earth is closest to the sun in winter. In the northern hemisphere the Earth is closest to the Sun during winter. And one interesting this is that the Earth is moving around 1 kilometre per second faster than at aphelion which results in winter being 5 days shorter than summer.  Second the coldest temperature recorded in winter. The coldest temperature ever recorded during a UK winter was -27.2 °C, which has been recorded 3 times. It was twice recorded in the village of Braemar, on 11 February 1895 and again on 10 January 1982, and once in Altnaharra on 30 December 1995. My home town is in Iwate so it goes to around -9℃. From this year I am living in Tokyo so I don't have to worry about snow. Fun winter activity for me is go skiing. It's good exercise. Some people do try cross-country skiing but I don't like that. Also I like Baking Bread during winter. It'll make our house smell amazing, and there's nothing quite so

 In Japan there are many events during X-mas.  First we have "Disney Christmas". Tokyo Disney Resort is hosting an annual Christmas event “Disney Christmas” from early November to 25 December with Christmas decorations. There are large Christmas trees, special parades, limited food, drinks, and merchandise collection. Second is "Sanrio Puroland". Sanrio Puroland is a theme park. There are popular Japanese characters such as Hello Kitty, My Melody, Gudetama. The Christmas event, Puro Christmas will be held from 3 November to 25 December 2022 with the theme of snow dome. Third is "Shibuya Ao no Dokutsu". This is my favorite one. This illumination light display was a huge hit when it first took place along the Meguro River back in 2014. Set up along an 800m-stretch from Koen-dori all the way to Yoyogi Park, this illumination features about 600,000 blue LEDs that are reflected off the ground to create an immersive light-up experience. It's very beautiful.

This video was very interesting. My plase also has a Latin name. I don't know why Japanese want to put this kinds of name.  I also see many name with ”コーポ". First I didn't know what that means. And the name with this apartment are all old. I searched and found that this means "cooperative house". Japanese likes to say in short way so pelple need time to figure it out. I think flower name is the best because it very simple. I think useing French and Latin is no good idea.
