Draws to a close our holiday?

I started to like English partly because I liked the Flipper's Guitar, who sang some of their songs in English. However, I still don't understand some of their lylics. Is "Draw to a close our holiday" grammatically correct? I know it should mean "The vacation is almost over." Anyway, August is almost over. Probably, most of school kids are feeling kind of sad.

Friend Again

We first met by the sea
On the day I came here
You shyly showed to me
A picture on the pier

There you had painted summer
Just as I saw it
Since then we've been good friend
But last night I offended
Oh, silly me

So let's make friends again today
Draw to a close a holiday
Holdin' bouquet someday we'll part anyway
You in a grey beret
I will portray
Though we'll realize by hogmanay
Every word is just a cliche

Did you ever go abroad?

Yesterday, I talked with my students about going abroad. Actually, they have visited much more foreign countries than I have.

I've been to the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands. But, one of the students told me that she's been to more than 25 countries. And I asked her which country is her favorite. Her answer was Tunisia. I couldn't think of anything about Tunisia at that time.

I want to visit more countries. But, I need to make some money in order to do it.

Across the Universe

I went to see "Across the Universe" at Shibuya. The movie was really good. Although the Beatles is not my favorite, I enjoy their songs in there as well as the story line and picture.

Evan Rachel Wood was really good in this movie. She acted as a girl who had lost her first boyfriend in the war and who were involved in the anti-war movement. I believe that there were a lot of girls like her in the 60s.

People are on vacation, but...

I want to take my vacation. I want to go anywhere but here for a while. I want to chill out. I want to spend time on the beach, saying that life is a series of wasting time.

But, I can't.

Seems like they fixed it.

Yeah! By the way, I would like to see this movie. I don't think I can't go anywhere during the obon holidays. So, maybe I will go watch this during the holidays.

Something is wrong.

I can't go to this blog site. I don't know why.

What does it mean?

I found this notice along the lane where few people pass by. I felt that everything we do is being recorded anywhere, anytime. That is scary.
