     Miyazaki Umi lives in Odawara, Japan. The 15-year-old girl has learned a lot about China from her father
and her school. She likes Chinese culture very much. She has a dream. She hopes one day she can work in
China.
     Different to Umi, Miyata Natsuiyuki's knowledge of China all comes from a book, Romance of the Three
Kingdoms. The novel is well known in Japan. In this 15-year-old boy's mind, Chinese people are like the
heroes in the book - they work hard for their dreams.
     Last week, the two finally got a chance to see China. 2008 is the China-Japan Friendly Exchange Year.
Invited by the Suzhou People's Association for Friendship, organized by Japan's Children and Life Culture
Association, Umi and Natsuiyuki, together with another 63 Japanese people, made a trip to China.
     They first went to Shanghai. Then, in Suzhou, they saw Kunqu Opera at the Suzhou Art School.
     Umi and Natsuiyuki said they have found out something new about the country.
     In Shanghai, the high buildings amazed Umi. "It seems as if all the tall buildings in Japan are here in
Shanghai," she said.
     Natsuiyuki saw bicycles everywhere in Chinese cities."You don't see that in Japan. I think it's good for
the environment to ride bikes."
     Both the boy and the girl think that people in China are very kind and warm-hearted.
     "Though we only speak broken Chinese and English, they always answered my questions patiently," said
Umi.
     "If you have any difficulties, they come and help you at once," said Natsuiyuki." Even though you cannot
speak the language, you forget you are in a foreign country."

Why 2008 is a special year? Because it is a Leap Year(闰年).

     What is so special about that? Well, we have a Leap Year every four years. And it has 366 days, not the usual 365. In a Leap Year, we have 29 days in February, while in a usual year we have only 28 days.

     Why do we have a Leap Year? We have a Leap Year so we can keep the calendar in step                                                                                        

(一致)with the seasons. The calendar is a kind of clock for the year. But how long is a year? A calendar year is 365 days. But a true year is 365 days,5 hours,48 minutes and 46 seconds long. That's the time it takes the earth (地球) to go around the sun. So every four years we have one more day, and we put it at the end of February, the shortest month of a year. Then we have a Leap Year.
