I think almost all the people who read this blog don’t know this country. Tuvalu consists of many islands which are on the Pacific Ocean. The population of this country is the second least all over the world and there is nothing representative. Many countries support its economy. For example, in 2007, The Kansai Electric Power Company made some photovoltaic power generation devices in its territory.
However, these days, Tuvalu is getting more and more famous and paid attention by many countries specially developed countries. Why did these things occur? The answer is that Tuvalu is sinking under the surface of the sea. The global warming which developed countries suffer from melts the ice and makes the surface of the sea rise. There are some countries which are sinking under the surface of the sea not only Tuvalu but also all over the world. I think developed countries should think this problem seriously because they mainly promoted the global warming for their own benefits.

The Netherlands
Last week, the drawing lots of FIFA World Cup 2010 were held in South Africa. In shot, the opponents of Japan were decided. So I would like to introduce one of them, the Netherlands.
This country is between Germany and Belgium. We usually call it “Holland”, but the formal name is Kingdom of the Netherland. Where does “Holland” come from? It is derived from one of the state name. This state did an important role when a war broke out between Spain.
Between 1621 and 1847, this country was the only one that trades with Japan. The trade was done in Dejima which was in Nagasaki. Holland brought many European cultural things not only a world map but also medical science. So Japanese were very surprised and realized that they were old-fashioned people. If Holland had not come, Japan would have opened later.
In this way, Holland appears some times in Japanese history. There was an intimate relationship between Japan and Holland.

UAE
This week, I would like to introduce one of the Middle East countries, UAE. Its official name is United Arab Emirates so we call this country UAE.
In this country, there are seven emirates and each emirate has its own emir. They make main decision of this country. Abu Dhabi and Dubai are the two famous and powerful emirates. Traditionally, the emir of Abu Dhabi becomes the president and the one of Dubai becomes the Prime Minister.
The economy of this country depends on fossil fuel and tourism. Many developed countries like Japan imports large amount of oil and natural gas. Then UAE earns much money, we call “Oil Money”, and make a beautiful city.
Dubai is the most beautiful city in this country. We can see a lot of skyscrapers. Many companies all over the world go into this area as a new market. In this way I think UAE makes effort to call in foreign visitors. Do you want to go to UAE?
