Luokkaretki nr 2 sijoittui Shiga prefektuuriin, Sagawan taidemuseoon ja Omi Hachiman kylään. Ei ihan niin jännä kuin Ise Jingu, mutta silti näkemisen arvoinen.
..en edelleenkään tiedä hobittitalon oikeaa nimeä o__o

Class trip nr 2 took us to Shiga prefecture, to Sagawa Art Museum and Omi Hachiman village. Not as exciting as the trip to Ise Jingu was, but still worth it.

Paintings by Malcolm William Clayton
Malcolm William Clayton, painter, poet and linguist, was born in Lancashire in 1954. Gifted in art from a young age, Malcolm self taught and established his artistic identity whilst reading English at Cambridge University and acquiring a PhD in applied linguistics from the University of London.
Dissatisfied with readily available materials and common techniques, Malcolm ultimately developed his own unique medium and style. The resultant effect is mid-way between oil and water colour.
As well as excelling in the world of literature and linguistics, Malcolm was a successful artist whose talent was recognised through major art competitions in both England and Japan where he resided. At his death in 1999 he left approximately one thousand works in total, hundreds of which are already held in both public and private collections.
I, who have cast nets
Needs-must weave the thread
And out of dark,
Catch the silver moment.
(Poem by Malcolm William Clayton at the age of 17)

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

The area is home to two medical schools, one veterinary school, two nursing schools, two law schools—including Western Michigan University and Michigan State University—a Big Ten Conference university, the Michigan State Capitol, the state Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals, a federal court, the Library of Michigan and Historical Center, and headquarters of four national insurance companies.
