Autumn festival around the world

I will introduce to you a festival of Mexico. The festival is called “the day of the dead”. It is held on November 2. You may feel sad when you see a word “dead”.　But it is not sad festival.

It is similar to Japan's Bon festival. People comfort their ancestors decorating their graves with flowers, sugar candy skulls, candied fruit and pumpkins like this (→). Decoration of graves depends on each family. So you can enjoy the difference when you go to Mexico then.

The sugar skulls have various types and are colorful and cute. They are sold in many places of Mexico for the festival. This site shows you how to cook sugar candy skulls. Try to cook, if you like it.

Our group is going to introduce a festival of Spain. The festival is human castle or “castles” in Catalan. The people of Catalonia build human castles. They believe that the construction of human castles demonstrates teamwork, patient and success. This festival is traditional and began in the 17th century.

Teams try to build the highest and most difficult castle against other team. The highest castle so far is 13m, which is as high as ten human stories in height.

If you click here, you can understand how to build human castles and see many kinds of human castles each team.

The Devil Wears Prada

I will introduce a movie “The Devil Wears Prada”.

I love this movie. It encourages me and I can try to do something. When I feel sad and disappointing, I watch this DVD. And I love Anne Hathaway, she is very beautiful.

The Devil Wears Prada is comedy-drama film which is based on the best-selling novel. It was released in 2006. Wendy Finerman produced and David Frankel directed. The film was distributed by 20th Centry Fox..

It stars Andrea ”Andy” Sachs (Anne Hathaway) goes to New York City to be a journalist. And she gets a job as a co-assistant to powerful and demanding fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). Her job is “a million girls would die for”. Unfortunately Andy is not interested in fashion. Moreover Miranda’s demand is high level! So her hard terrible life starts…　Is this what I want to do? What did I want to be? Perhaps you may have thought so in your society, too.

This movie is set in fashion world. The clothes which are wore by actors are so fashionable☆ Many designers allow their clothes and accessories to be used in the film, making it the most expensively-costumed film in history
Music in the movie is gorgeous. Madonna and U2 offered their music. This is music of them. “Vogue”

You can enjoy the fashions, actors, story and music by this movie in many ways.
