A Special day

I have some special days in a year.

Today I'll write about one of my special days.
On New years day, our family visit grandparent's house.
My grandparent's of my mother live in futami in Akashi city.
And my cousin's live in the house next to my grandparent's.
I have two cousins. Both of my cousins are girls and older than me.
One older sister is 25 years old, younger sister is 20 years old.
I have a brother, but I don't have any sisters, so I rely on them like real sisters.
During long vacation, we stay each other with watching DVD or talking and so on.

Therefore we gather our grandparents house.
And we always eat nabe (I don't know the meaning of eating nabe every year)
with talking each other.
Last year we grandchildren recorded massage for my grandparents on tape.
I always have a good laugh that I shed tears.
When I was young, I have chances to meet my cousins or grandparents.
However I don't have time much, we hardly gather all members.
So the beginning of the new year has special meaning and special day for me(^^♪！！

Response to John's post

It i s difficult problem for me.



Everything has both advantages and disadvantages.

Technology such as mobile phone or computers make our life affuluently.

We can stay in touch with other people anywhere by using mobile phone, if we aren't home.

However it is fact to depend on it too much.

It is exactly useful, but it keep us from commnicating each other like before.

As John wrote about it, we are less interested in talking people.

Without talking, we can't enough to communicate.
So, we must concider to communicate with others.

My favorite foreign product

We study about 'globalization', so today I'm going to write my favorite foreign product.

I have a lot of products from other countries.
One of my favorite foreign product is 'Starbucks' .
As you know it is very popular and famous coffee shop.
Have you ever been to 'Starbucks'????
It is made in Seattle in America.

I like tea better than coffee, so I always drink tea at Starbucks.
It 's coffee shop!!haha
I go to starbucks once or twice a month.
In this connection, I went there yesterday^^haha
Recently we can see coffee or other drinks of Starbacks at convenience store, so we have many oppotunities to drink Starbacks products.
Price is a little expensive for me, but I like their products~~^^♪

I've visited the head office in Seattle once, it was a little small what I had expected.
However there is worth visiting!!Awesome~~~~（＾－＾）
I really recommend going Starbucks and drinking various drinks!!!!

My summer vacation 2!!!

I wrote about summer vacation a few days ago, but I think it was too short...., so
I try to write again !!!

I work part time almost every day(I wrote this last time!!)
I work at cram school ,and ordinally I teach high school student.
But I taught elementary school student and junior high school student as well during summer vacation!!

I taught Japanese (except high school student) , a good old memory when I was elementary
school and junior high school rushed into my mind^^!!
Sometimes I talked with students, they had a lot of homework including reserch(jiyuu kenkyuu).
I rememberd that they put me to trouble when I was young days.haha
Anyway it was great experiences for me^^

The end of summer vacation, I went to TDR(Tokyo Disney Resort)!!
The first day, I woke up at 3:30 AM !! and left home at 4:40AM~~!!
I was extremely sleepy, but I arrived at Tokyo, I awoke in a matter of seconds!!haha
We enjoyed a lot of attraction, parade at TDL.
That day I slept soon because of tiredness.
The second day we saw many shows at TDS.
Every shows were fantastic!!I was impressed by them.
Though it rained, there wasn't crowded, so we rode many kind of attractions^^
I'd like to put some pictures(great Halloween decoration), but I don't know how to put
on it..., so someone who is interested in disney halloween, you have better check TDR homepage!!haha
