・Kumamoto Gakuen University

First, I introduce KGU Which is private school. It's our university and the most cheerful university in Kumamoto. There are many nature, 'Icho namiki' is beautiful in fall.
It has 4 departments and 11 course. The university has many good equipments, because of them I can study many things comfortably. especially The library is very good, because it's clean, quiet and it has books and computers, so I like to spend time in the library. Then there is a bakery, many kinds of breads are baked there, especially I like 'ham & cheese' , it's tasty.
Clubs are very active in the university. school festival is the biggest event in the university. They prepare too hard for it.


・Kumamoto University
Kumamoto university is only national school in Kumamoto, so many people comes to this university from other prefectures. It's the most intelligent university in Kumamoto. It has seven departments and twenty nine courses, medical department and legal department, pharmacy departments, educational department and so on. Therefore you can choose your best department of all departments and study the subject.
If I study too hard, I can't enter the university forever. I wnt to visit to this university, because the building is very beautiful.

・Other universities
There are eight more universities in Kumamoto. Kumamoto kenritsu university, Kyusyu tokai university, Sojo university, Kyushu health welfare university, Heisei music university, Shokei university, Kumamoto health science university and Kyusyu Lutheran university.
Each universities has many good points. University students of Kumamoto can study those university for there dreams, and spend precious time.

○Politics

・Mayor
The mayor of Kumamoto city is Seishi Koyama. His birthday is 1965 June 10. His height is 178cm, his weight is 67kg. He keeps the weight for fifteen years. His hobby is reading and baseball. He likes to play with his children in a day off (he looks good father). He has a wife and three children. He went to Hokubu junior high school, Seisei high school. He had belonged baseball club. After graduation from high school, he entered Kyushu university. Then he got work at bank first, but he resigned there 5years later, and he became politician.
He has been being mayor of Kumamoto city since December of 2002. I respect him.


・Governor
The governor of Kumamoto prefecture is Yoshiko Shiotani. Her birthday is 1932 April 5. she was born in Saga where is next to Kumamoto. She is second woman governor in japan. She has been being governor of Kumamoto prefecture since January 2000.
Women governor is rare in Japan, therefore I hope she appeal Kumamoto and spread women's right.

・New local row
The new local row of Kumamoto city was started in September 2007. It prohibit to throw away and smoke on the street. This row aims to make comfortable and safety environment as a sightseeing city.
Smoking with walking is too danger and bad for other's health. A cigarette is too hot, and a hand which has a cigarette and height of child are almost same. I think politician have to make more row which isolate smoker and non smoker.
If you break this row, you have to pay a fine.
