The number of Japanese students in the Chinese mainland is more than those studying in the US, according to Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, a Taiwan news outlet reported on Monday.
Japan saw the peak of studying abroad in 2010 when 124,000 sought academic careers overseas. About 61,000 Japanese studied in the US in 2010, about half the total studying abroad. But since then, the number has decreased. In 2015, the number was down to only just over 20,000, about 20 percent of Japanese students being educated overseas.
The number of Japanese going to the Chinese mainland to study has been rising since 2009 and now surpasses the US.
An official spokesman said, "Choices are various for studying abroad nowadays, not just limited to the US. Many Japanese universities have an increasing number of exchange pro-grams with Chinese universities and Japanese companies now tend to prefer people with academic experience in Asia rather than the.US or Europe as previously. Tuition fees (学费）are another reason. Annual fees in US universities are almost twice those charged by Chinese
universities.”
Some Japanese experts say the decline indicates young Japanese are satisfied with the domestic situation rather than preparing for challenges outside.

I had offered to watch my 3-year-old daughter, Ramanda, so that my wife could go out with a friend. I was getting some work done while Ramanda appeared to be having a good time in the other room. No problem, I figured. But then it got a little too quiet and I yelled out. “What are you doing. Raxiianda?” No response. I repeated my question and heard her say, “Oh ... nothing.” Nothing? What does “nothing” mean?
I got up from my desk and ran out into the living room, and then I saw her take off down the hall. I chased her up the stairs and watched her as her little behind made a hard left into the bedroom. I was gaining on her! She took off for the bathroom. Bad move. I had her cornered. I told her to turn around. She refused. I pulled out my big, mean authoritative(命令式的)Daddy voiced Young lady, I said turn around!”
Slowly, she turned toward me. In her hand was what was left of my wife's new lipstick. And every square inch of her face was covered with bright red (except her lips of course)!
As she looked up at me with fearful eyes, lips trembling. I heard every voice that had been shouted to me as a child. “How could you...You should know better than that...How many times have you been told …What a bad thing to do...” It was just a matter of my picking out which old message I was going to use on her so that she would know what a bad girl she had been. But before I could let loose, I looked down at the sweatshirt my wife had put on her only an hour before. In big letters it said, “I'M A PERFECT LITTLE ANGEL!” I looked back up into her tearful eyes and, instead of seeing a bad girl who didn’t listen, I saw a child of God …a perfect little angel full of worth, value and a wonderful spontaneity(自发行为) that I had come dangerously close to shaming out of her.
“Sweetheart, you look beautiful! let's take a picture so Mommy can see how special you look.” I took the picture and thanked God that I didn’t miss the opportunity to reaffirm（再肯定）what a perfect little angel he had given me.

The Anchorage Museum is expanding to the north with the addition of 25,000 square feet of new gallery space for the museum’s art collection and exploration of art of the north.
Construction timeline: February 2016〜September 2017.
Focus: This expansion is about more than bringing works from the collection out on public view. It’s also about creating a wonderful description for the north through the lens (镜头)of art and furthering the museum's mission of expanding awareness of the north, its landscape and cultures.
An expanded museum will:
•Provide greater public access to the museum’s art collection
•Create physical space for each kind of the museum’s mission—art, history, science, culture
•Tell the story of the north and Alaska through art that represents its landscape and people
•Create positive, engaging and relevant museum experiences
•Help museum visitors understand Alaska and the north through a variety of experiences
•Connect people and encourage global dialogue about the north and its different environment
Project partners: The $24 million expansion is funded entirely by private dollars, including $12 million gifts from both the Rasmuson family and the Rasmuson Foundation.
