It's Cool, Isn't it!?

At the Reliant Stadium.

Phil and I went on a cycling tour about two hour. 

Oh,  when you go cycling you better watch out bumpy way and trees, but you can enjoy very much, I think.

So Many Churches in Houston

There are so many places of Christian worship here in Houston. In the Fifth Ward alone, you can see several churches in just two blocks. Christianity has so many different sects (divisions) in this country, while the houses of worship come in so many different sizes and shapes.

Brewery at Work

St. Arnold's Brewery is unite small but it makes thousands of bottles of beer every week. There are four main ingredients: Barley, Hops, Water and Yeast. There are big containers that mix and cool the beer. The beer is so popular in Houston that it only stays on the shelf three days before it is sold! It was interesting to see how it is made and how it is sold.

Lakewood Church

We went to Lakewood church on the weekend. It was a very unusual experience. Check out the video of what we saw. It is not like a traditional church. The music is very powerful and the preacher is like a self-help guru. It is difficult to describe the experience.... What do you think?

METRO

This is a ticket of metro. Do you have 100yen? Of course you guys have much more than 100yen. I bought it $1.25. It's very cheap but it has a great system. METRO doesn't need more money than $1.25 and you can cross the town. You can use it for three hours when you take a train. If you take a bus you can take a bus for more than 1hour only 1dollars. In Japan, the fares of transportation are going up and up. It's so expensive. But why is it so cheap? Because the country(U.S) conduct the METRO. we can go everywhere you want to go very cheap. If someone is coming to US please use it easily

Nature in the City

If you have green space in the city, then wildlife will come.
Check out these beautiful ducks waddling around Post Oak in Houston!

Beer is Big Business!

This afternoon we are going to visit St.Arnold's Brewery, a craft brewery in Houston. To prepare for the visit we have some study sheets.  We are going to learn new vocabulary about the beer industry, read about the history of the brewery and analyze beer labels for marketing.   We will have a tour of the factory and will ask the guide some questions!  We will post our original marketing labels here in a few days! Beer is big business in the USA
