Scientific workshops for engineers in the future 大学为孩子们举行的科学实验

Science departments of a university in my prefecture held workshops titled "Enjoy science".

This is called a passive walking robot which can walk with force of gravity alone, without motor on a running machine.

An old training airplane is exhibited.

This is one of two engines. The other was disassembled and displayed for students to understand structures.

An professor made some interesting experiments of liquid nitrogen. Its temperature is minus 196C degrees. Childrens have had a great fun.

He said air volume is changeable due to change of temperature.Two girls put a balloon in liquid nitrogen. The air inside the balloon rapidly shrunk because of refrigeration.

When a shrunk balloon was put out of the can, it gradually swelled.

Frogs and fishes are my old friends. 青蛙和小鱼都是我的老朋友。

Frog's eye is always sleepy or , it can be said, is concealing its curiosity to the outer world. If frogs had not been written in fairy tales, our childhood would have been less imaginative.

Quite a lot of small carps are grown in a water tank. A marking on the body changes in accordance with its growth. No one knows the final best marking at present. They look joyfully swimming without caring its colors. 这种鲤鱼被叫做“锦鲤”。

Swimming in the Sea 海水浴

Around 4 pm, we arrived at the beach. It was windy and waves are bigger due to a typhoon coming close. Notwithstanding, young guys went into the sea and enjoyed swimming, tossing a beach ball, jumping on waves.

There was a big tree on the beach. Where did it come from??

The beach has brought us a shout of joy.

In the night, a firework festival was held. Big sounds of explosion directly attacked my stomach. I get a special kick every time. lol

Short Trip by one hour drive

I visited a city in one hour car drive distance. This is a new Thai food restaurant . I ate tom yum goon, or shrimp soup in sour and hot flavors.

 In some areas in mountains, children still can swim in a clean water river. I was very surprised. They are favored with presents from nature!

 30 years ago, this area was prosperous with forestry. The left was a stone warehouse, the right was a sawmill.

Rice Fields in green waves

Since planting in end of April, rice plants have been growing favorably. They will soon open flowers with strong smell expecting good harvest in autumn.

             

          

                                          

This type of stone gate is called "torii", standing on the entrance of a divine area in Japan. This gate was made of tuff 200 years ago. 

This is a wheat flour cracker baked with black sesame only with salt, no sugar. I enjoy the delicious taste, drinking a cup of green tea.

The night view of Hakodate city in Hokkaido, Northern Japan. 北海道函館之夜景

When I visited the city, it rained heavily. But at 7:00pm, the rain stopped and clouds were blown off. I went up the mountain 334m height and got this view. Hakodate is an oldest port opened for international trading in 1854.
In this photo, a "U" shape on left side is the port and the right "U" is seashore which has a hot-spring resort.

Atsuta Jingu shrine 熱田神宮

 Atsuta Jingu has a giant tree. Ancient Japanese people worshiped big trees.

　　

Toyota Museum of Industry and Technology 豐田產業技術紀念館

Brick walls are reserved in good condition, very beautiful.

 Many cars and tooling machines are exhibited.

 This green track is Toyota's first product to the automobile market.

This is a huge machine press that had very high performance in making car parts.
