Cricket-New Zealand !

The first time I had seen this sport, I did not know what it was. I saw it first on television in New Zealand. I had been to New Zealand for two months when I was six teen years old. I went there in summer and I saw this sport. It was similar to baseball but cricket bat was a little bit bigger and flatter than baseball bat.

There were eleven players each cricket team. I asked my family host about it. She told me that this sport was very exciting and fun. Cricketers had to hit the ball as far as possible. So they could run and got a point. On the other hand, the pitcher must throw the ball to bounce the ground before going to the batsman. The professional cricketers could control the ball to the way that they want. However, I think batsmen are still quite easy to hit the ball because the cricket bat is big enough to hit the ball not too difficult. Further more, the cricketers must be strong and healthy. The most important thing is they must concentrate on the game and stay focus on the ball all the time.

In my opinion, cricket is one of the most popular sport in New Zealand. There are many people especially Kiwis interest in cricket. I wish I will have an opportunity to try it once.

It is very beautiful castle. He desired to build this castle because he wanted to be alone and to give for Richard Warger – a German composer , conductor , the theater director who was an inspiration of him to build this castle follow the one in the Richard’s writing – Swan Knight.

Neuschwanstein was opened to public in seventh week after the death of the King Ludwig ll in 1886. I think it is good because every year there are more than 1.3 million people around the world come to visit this charming castle. I am someone who dreams to visit there once. If it is possible, I will go there with my girlfriend or may be the place that my wife and I choose to go for our honey-moon.

In my opinion, most of children may used to see many castles in the tales having a shape like this. Of course , Neuschwantein is the model of those castle. Why? Because it is a Symbol of the Walt Disney Company so if you want to feel like you are in the prince’s castle. Come to this fairy – tale castle. The chance to be a princess is coming ! 555

He predicts football's result by choosing a little food in the boxes which assign between two teams. The team that he chooses is predicted to be the winner. However, he was wrong in the Final match of European cup,2008. He predicted that Germany would become the Champion of this cup. Unfortunately, the champion wa Spain. In that game, Spain beat Germany 1-0. Surprisingly, it was the only one game in his life that he misses.

Paul predicted again in world cup,2010. His prediction was 100%. He predicted that Spain would be the champion of Fifa world cup,2010 in match Netherland-Spain. Unbelievable, Spain became the winner.Spain defeats his against team by score 1-0. Paul's prediction was true. Nobody doesn't know him at the moment.

In my opinion, he is very accurate fortune-teller. For example, in the match Germany-Serbia. Germany was superior to Serbia. However, Germany was the looser. He chose to eat a shell in Serbia's box. Finally, he is one of the football highlight in this year.
