A Wonderful Book!!

Do you want a book that you can save 100,000 yen(=about $1,000)? I bought the book today. It is not to give me money but to save it by myself.

In the book there are 20 forms of circle a page. All I do is to put a 500 yen coins in it. The use of it is not enough. This interesting book tells about the sights and special products of each prefecture in Japan. Every circle has a word; for example Tokyo Tower, Mt. Fuji and a explanation of them. As often as I put a coin in it, I read them. I'll be able to know much information of Japan.

I'm trying to save money. If I can save 100,000 yen, I'd like to travel around Japan!!

Coming of Age Ceremony

On January 11st there was a Coming of age ceremony in Kofu. I got up at five thirty in the morning. Then I went to the beauty salon to prepare for the ceremony. I had my hear worn up and put on the long-sleeved kimono.

In the hall, boys were wearing the suits and girls were wearing the kimonos. They were very beautiful. I met a lot of friends living in Kofu. I had many pictures taken. During the ceremony a surprising thing happened. The popular group appeared on the stage and sang for us. That was very breathtaking.

After the ceremony there was a alumni meeting of junior high school. Many students and teachers came to the party. I talked to them a lot. Good old memories rushed into my mind. I enjoyed very much.
