Ireland : Beaghmore stones circles

En français
After the American folk park, we went to Beaghmore to see the celtic stones circles. It's really strange to see that so many years after the construction, the circles of stones are still there and that they are hiding so many secrets about human history. The celtic culture and especially the celtic constructions such as megaliths or stones circles remain unexplained by science until now. Who knows how many years will be necessary to unravel such mysteries and understand what happened so long ago? What was the purpose of those constructions?

Ireland : American folk park

En français
On Sunday we went to the American folk park. The American folk park is a open air museum which tell the story of the immigration from Ireland to America. The immigration was mainly due to the famine that touched Ireland with the potato decease. A lot of poor people died in the period of Irish history and a lot of others saved money to pay the transport by boat to Pennsylvania. In the American side of the park, houses from Pennsylvania have been imported to complete the museum.

オレンジデイズ is a Japanese drama in 11 episodes from 2004.

 Sae Hagio is a very talented violinist but four years ago she lost her hearing and felt into despair refusing to communicate and to socialize, using sign language to keep people away from her. Kai Yuuki is senior at the university graduating into welfare and people care study currently looking for a job. Kai's friend is interested in Sae but decide to avoid the date when he discovers that she is deaf, Kai finds himself going there instead and so the relationship between Sae and Kai begins leading to the creation of the orange society, a group of friends.

Casting :

柴咲コウ  as Hagio Sae (Galileo, Galileo episode 0)
成宮寛貴 as Aida Shohei
白石美帆 as Ozawa Akane (Nodame Cantabile)
瑛 太  as Yashima Keita (Nodame Cantabile)



I like this drama, especially because of Sae's personality. She is really impulsive  and make life hard for Kai is a very funny always making him stay around even when he wants to complain about it. I also like how she never gives up music even though she can't hear what she is playing anymore. I also like Keita, he is the good guy all the way is a sense and don't really get recognized for it. I think people don't really trust you so much or find you interesting when you are genuinely nice, that's a pity.
