White Planet: movie review by Rena
White Planet is about the North Pole and its animals. In the summer times many animals come from the South to the North Pole. Some of them are whales and birds. The whales come to the North Pole to eat planktons in the sea. The birds lay eggs at the very top of cliffs. When winter comes they go back to the South where they live. Some animals like polar bears and Arctic foxes stay and prepare for the harsh winter by collecting and saving food. The Polar bears usually eat seals. Arctic foxes eat the eggs layed by the birds. The glaciers are melting because of humans. With glaciers melting, polar bears will loose their hunting places and almost all land animals will loose their homes.

Hilarious flash synch video

The Romanian words actually sound like real words in Japanese. I found out about the flash synch through my mom's friends Mimi Ito in chanpon.org and Joi Ito.
