Speech about NZ and Japan

I would like to talk about rain in New Zealand and Japan.

New Zealand and Japan are similar the part of shape of country so weather is similar. Both countries can divide two parts into South area and North area. North area is dumper than south area so north area is more rain. In New Zealand, rain falls all year round. On the other hand, it tends to be concentrated between June and September in Japan. Rain is greatest on the western coast of Japan.

Then I’ll talk about Japanese 4 rains.

Tsuyu 梅雨: It is Rainy season lasting for about 30 days from around the 10th of June to the 10th of July. The rain falls during this time of year.

Yuudachi夕立:It is Evening clod burst or sudden showers of summer. It is often accompanied by thunder and lightning.

Toori-ame通り雨: It is Sudden downpours that last only briefly, as if passing by quickly.

Harusame春雨 (春spring ): It is Gently falling, fine rain during the warm days of spring.

Climates of Japan and New Zealand

I searched about climate of Japan and New Zealand. I compared with Japan and New Zealand. First, both countries have the four seasons but there are just opposite. For example, when Japan is winter, New Zealand is summer so if Japanese went to New Zealand, most of them were confused and New Zealanders surf or walk when Japanese go to ski. I can not imagine! Especially, Santa Claus in New Zealand is strange for me because they do Christmas in summer. It must be very hot!

Then weather is changeable in New Zealand so they generally say “There are the four seasons in a day”. It means that it’s rain, sunny and cloudy in a day so temperature is changeable. Therefore, New Zealanders wear a shirt with long sleeves and they take a sweater or an overcoat even summer. But a gap of degree is not great. It is about 6 or 7 degree but human are effected so they take jackets.


On the other hand, New Zealand is a long island so the temperature of the north and the south is different. To speak plainly, the north area is more rainy than the south. And Japan is a long so the north area and the south area are different, too. Japan has passing shower. It is called “YUUDACHI”(written 夕立). And also Japan has rainy season. It is called “TSUYU”(written 梅雨) in Japanese.


The climate of New Zealand is changing now. It is an issue in New Zealand. It's not only New Zealand but also many countries have same issue. I think we have to solve these problems.

THE EVE OF TOMATINA (from power point)

I would like to talk about eve of Tomatina. 1st, many people come to San Lewis street　in previous day. There are many food wagons. It is called “chirinquito” in Spanish. Japanese say it, “YATAI”. They are drinking alcohol, singing, and dancing all night.

Next day, many people go to Plaza de Pueblo. It’s a town hall and they come to here to get sweet roll. Everyone can get it. But there are limit.

3rd, I talk about “Palojabon”. It starts at 10:00 am. “Palojabon” is a stick. It is painted by soap and there is uncured ham on the top. People climb the stick to get a ham. When the winner appeared, the preparation of Tomatina is finished.

The autumn festival

I searched and found a strange autumn festival. The name is “Tomatina”. It is held in Spain. If you had a time, you should search this festival’s photographs because this festival is sometimes called “crazy festival”. You can easily understand this mean by this photo. Now I would like to talk about “Tomatina”.

It is called “La TOMATINA” in Spanish and held on last Wednesday in august. Tomatina starts an eve of festival. It is like a Japanese general festival. People drink alcohol, eat something and dancing all night.

Next day, people join “PALOJABON”. It is a stick and It is painted by soap and there is uncured ham on the top. People climb the stick to get a ham and decide a winner. Then Tomatina starts and people throw and throw tomatoes to each other. It is finished by sign of whistle.

I think this festival is very crazy but it looks like fan so if I had a time, I wanted to join this autumn festival! If you wanted to know more details, please search "La Tomatina".
