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 was the oldest of five children back in the 60’s. We lived in a nice little three-bedroom bungalow（平房）in Michigan. Mom and Dad worked so hard, yet always found the time to spend with us. The only place they could take five active children to was the drive-in (汽车影院）movies!
We always looked forward to going to the drive-in! Mom would fill a big bag with homemade popcorn. On the way there, Dad would make a special stop at the penny candy store, where we were all allowed to fill a little brown bag with all kinds of penny candy. We were so exited as we carried our treasures back to the car, knowing we couldn’t eat it until the cartoon began.
We would get there early, so that we could play on the playground, right under the big screen. As soon as it started to get dark, the screen lit up, and we would race back to the car to get our candy.
There were always two cartoons playing before the movie, like Felix the Cat, The Coyote, and Tom and Jerry, But what was just as exciting was the ticking clock advertisement for the refreshment stand, with dancing hot dogs, candy and ice cream. That came on right before the movie. It was all that five kids could hope for, and by then, stay awake for.
We would get home around 2 am, pretty late for us. Mom help«ed us drug ourselves and our pillows to our beds and dad carried in the little ones.
I was disappointed the day they closed the last drive-in in our town. It will always hold special memories for us—those days of penny candy.

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.

Good morning，everyone，
It's great honor for me to speak here. My name's Li Xiaojun，born of a harmonious family. My father and mother are all high school teachers. Influenced by them，I read widely during my early age，but I've developed a great interest in arts and sports. I'm easygoing，get along well with my classmates.
It is this personality which helps me win over all my classmates' friendships，and also help me overcome many difficulties both in academic and personal life. Being admitted in your university has always been a beautiful dream for me. I dream constantly that I, along with mine classmates，will study happy with the help of the respectable professors；I dream that I will swim freely in the sea，enjoying the waves of knowledge.
I hope all my dream will come true in the near future.
Thank you.
