Royal Wedding Likely to Hurt UK Economy

Summary: Many people in Britons are in felicitation mood because of the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton. However, The LA times think that the loss of productivity will cause a large scale dept among the British economy. Politicians are arguing whether the economy is growing or not. It is estimated that the wedding will produce $850 millions in souvenir sales and visits to royal castles. Many taxpayers in Briton are dissatisfied in paying over $30 million for the security operation of the wedding procession and so on. They are essential because of the terrorist threats and the protest against the English capital.

Comment: I had been thinking that the royal wedding made a high profit among the British economy. Some of the TV programs were saying such things like that. But after I finished reading this article, I agreed with it. I think the politicians should think more about the economy and the taxpayers than to think of increasing holidays.

Golden Week

How was your Golden Week? There was nothing special during my Golden Week. I just had school and part time job. But the week before Golden Week, I went to yakiniku with my friends from high school, Minori and Jun. I had not seen them since the graduation ceremony, so I was really glad to see them. We talked about a lot of things. It was so fun and I couldn’t stop laughing the whole time.  
We ate too much that we couldn’t move for a while after we finished eating. When we were about to leave the restaurant, we were very surprised because we noticed that the man who was sitting next to us looked like Jackie Chan! I tried to take a picture with him, but Minori stopped me.
I really had nice time with them.
