A fireworks display

Hi, Caleb!

I went to see a fireworks display at Minatomirai in Yokohama with my friends yesterday. We wore yukata. They were vivid color and very pretty. Everyone, my friends, were pretty and yukata matched them. We saw the fireworks while eating or drinking such as snaks. The fireworks were very beatiful and were various shapes and color! For example, the shape of smily and heart, the color of pink, green, red, blue, and yellow and so on. Also, many colors mixed and made a beatuful collaboration. They made us happy and enjoyable. I won't forget the memory which had with everyone. We had a very good time! I want to go to see the fireworks display again. Moreover, I want to wear the yukata.

Hi, Caleb!

Last Friday, I watched the movie,"Mimiwosumaseba." The movie is jiburi animation. This is famous movie and popular among both adults and children. I also love this one. The heroine's youth is described and the enthusiasm is very fascinationg or attractive. Also, the gril who want to find something to do and the boy who has own dream and makes an effort falls in love! The love enables the girl to have a mind to do. I was impressed. This movie gives me a power and I won't get tired even if I watch again and again. I recommend the movie!

In fact, I love sweet potates. Then, I introduce sweet potates confections to you. The other day, I ate chocolates and cakes tasting of sweet potates. The taste was very good.

Therefore, I am interested in the confections tasting of sweet potates. From now on, I want to find the confectoin and eat the ones which growing area is Kagoshima prefecture.

Hawaii

I wanted to publish the movie about Tahiti, but I didn't find it, so I published one about Hawaii where is in the Pacific. Like Tahiti, there is a beautiful lagoon and beach in Hawaii such as Waikiki. In the movie, the high ranked hotel was introduced. The room was very clean, and the food sounded delicious.

In fact, my parents went on a trip to Hawaii. They showed me the pictures. The pictures are as if it is picture postcards. The beach in Waikiki is very beautiful and the sunshine is dazzling. I want to go to Hawaii.

tanabata festival

Hi, Caleb!

On 3rd July, I went to tanabata festival in Hiratsuka city. Moreover, I was a sales assistant. I sold Shizuoka cola. This is green tea cola and something with an unusual taste. However, it was very popular drink among many people.

Also, my friends came to see me and enjoyed the festival! My hometown is known for the festival. I was glad to meet my friend and to sell the Shizuoka cola!

Finally, I recommend you drinking the cola.
