My happy birthday☆...Eve!

My birthday was 16th January. I became 20 years old.(*>∪<*) I went to Tokyo Disney Land(TDL) on my birth day eve! I had a very very good time on the day★!

My birth day eve was Friday, but I had no school by chance on the day! I was so glad for that! TDL is one of the most crowded place in Japan. However, the day was week day and there was not crowded. Everything was going right♪

I rode many rides! My favorite ride was "Big Thunder Mountain"! Some roller coasters are hard for me, but Big Thunder Mountain was very amusing! After I rode that, I rode "Space Mountain"! It was very frightning... After I rode that, I walked with unsteady steps for a few minutes.(>_<)。

I also enjoyed taking pictures with many characters! My favorite character is "snow white". I couldn't take a picture with snow white, but I took with a dwarf of snow white movie! I was happy.*

I love Tokyo Disney Resort. :) I go there more than twice in a year for the past several years. I'm going to go there next month! :P

Blogging in English is very fun!

In the English presentation class, I wrote my blog in English every week. I thought it was a little difficult for me, but I tried hard. Blogging gave me three good opportunities; thinking in English, writing in English and reading English!

Blogging is a good opportunity for thinking in English! In my daily life, I think everything in Japanese. I heard, if I want to use English well, I should think in English. However, I can't do that easily because it takes much time thinking in English in my daily life. I thought in English for this blog every time and it was very good time for me.

After I started this blog, I can write my blog in English anytime I want! I have hardly ever written my opinion except studying! In my daily life, I didn't have any opportunities for writing my opinions in English. I enjoy blogging now and I'm happy for that*

I also enjoy reading my classmates' blogs! It's interesting and beneficial to me. Besides, they give me comments for my blog. I'm glad to read that. Blogging extended my communication in the new field.

Blogging has three good opportunities! I can think my opinion in English, write my blog in English and communicate with my classmates in English! I will enjoy that after the class is finished. I want to thank Mr. Henneberry and my classmates!

Coming-of-Age Day!

Hello～♪ Last Sunday, it was a Coming-of-Age Day. In Japan, everyone who is twenty years old is celebrated for starting the grown-up days on the day. Girls wear long-sleeved "kimonos" and boys wear "hakamas- long pleated skirts worn over kimonos - or suits on the coming of age celebration. It's a very happy day!

I am nineteen years old now, but I'll be twenty next week and I attended the celebration. I woke up at 3:30 a.m. and started the preparation. I wore kimono, put on make up and had my hair dressed at the beauty parlor from 4:00 a.m. I was excited at my happy day.

I was taken pictures with my family at a photo studio. After that, I went to the Kofu Citizen Hall. I saw many my junior high school friends at the hall. It was really a sweet pleasure to see my old friends again after such a long time. The day was one of the happiest events of my life!

Bananas Or Banana sweets?

Hello～＊ I love sweets, especially banana sweets! Bananas are very healthy fruits and they are very popular in Japan. I like Bananas ,like most Japanese, but I like banana sweets more.

There are many kinds of banana sweets. There are banana cakes, banana chocolates, banana ice cream, banana drinks and more...! I can taste bananas in many ways. Banana sweets are sweeter than bananas and I usually enjoy that.

Banana sweets are easier to eat than bananas. Banana has an unique touch in the mouth. I don't like the touch very much and some people think so too. However, banana chips are crunchy. Banana cakes are soft. Banana sweets have better touch than bananas!

Bananas are sometimes a little expensive. Banana's price differs with the season or the kind. Furthermore, we can't buy only one banana. Bananas are sold by the bunch. It's the reason why bananas are a little expensive.

Banana sweets have good tastes, good touches and good prices! Banana sweets are the best food for me! Do you like that(o^∪^o)?

A HAPPY NEW YEAR～*

Hello♪ A happy new year 2010!!

I had a good moment at the last day of 2009.

On 31th December, I went to "Haiji-no-mura (Heidi's village)". Do you know "Heidi"? She is an animation character. "Heidi -A girl of Alps-" is one of the most famous Japanese animation. She is a very cute girl and the story is emotional. Heidi's village is a prefectural park that is collaborated with Heidi. The main attraction is a beautiful garden. I put the URL and recommend looking the page.(*^∪^*)

The reason why I went there is because there was illuminated!! ( I love illuminations! :P) My friend went there last year and said to me "there is wonderful!" I wanted to go there for a long time. When I looked the illuminations, I was entranced for the beauty!!! :D* I thought, there is the most beautiful place where I have ever been to!

The moment of seeing the old year out, the fireworks were set off and everyone was clapping their hands. The staffs of Heidi's village distributed buckwheat noodles. In Japan, it's the custom to eat buckwheat noodles on New Year's Eve. I was very glad because there was very cold and the noodle was hot! It was my great New Year's Eve!!
