Favorite Shop

There is a bakery called ブランジェ near my house. It's about 15minutes away by walk. This place is very popular and reason is because everything in it is 100yen!!!! Any kinds of bread, sandwiches, salad, sponge cake, puddings, etc...EVERYTHING is 100yen!! It's not just cheap but very very delicious!!!!!!!! I really recommend this place. I think theres some in other places so you should all go and try some day:)

Using my 5 senses♪

I have taken trips (or vacation) to many places with my family. The place I enjoyed and liked the most were the places I visited in the Caribbean: Puerto Rico, Cuba, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Cayman, etc..

These places were similar in many ways.
First, the weather there is really nice. Most of the time it's humid but when you go down to the beach, you can feel this nice breeze that makes you relax:)
Secondly, when you are walking down the street, the most common language you will hear is Spanish. My brother and I were learning spanish in school, so we would translate stuff to our parents or greet the people we meet there in Spanish.
Thirdly, the foods you eat there are slight different from the foods in the states. I like how they have hot spices and looks really healthy. Most of the plates had beans in them. For desert, we would get fresh fruits or juice. I really like the foods there.
Fourthly, what the first thing I realized when we got off at the airport in those countries, was the smell of the ocean and the tropical fruits, like coconuts. I really like the smell of the air there. It seems really clean.
Lastly, I realized there were no tall buildings. When you look around, the tallest thing you could see are the palm trees. It's really nice to look at the tropical flowers and how you are surrounded by nature.

These five similarities are the reasons why I enjoyed my trip in the Caribbean. I get different senses from where I lived in the states and from where a visited. I enjoyed the difference in what I see, feel, hear, smell, and taste.

《My Hometown》

I'm not really sure what the exact meaning of a hometown is. I personaly think its where one was born and grew up. I also think it could be a place you can call home, like where ones close relatives live. For me, I was born in the states but I have relatives living in Japan so I guess I could call both my hometown (or country).

Where I lived in the states was a southern part of New Jersey, near the George Washington bridge that leads to New York. It was a really nice place surrounded by nature. Sometimes we would go to New York, out in the city, and I would look out the window of our car and watch many kinds of people rush by.

One thing I really like about my hometown is that we are really close with the neighbors and are really friendly to each other. We know each other well and spend time together a lot. In the spring, we would celebrate Easter holiday with them. While the adults sit around and talk, the kids would decorate an egg shell or find hidden eggs. In the summer, we would play with the sprinklers in our yard. Then we would have BBQ with the neighbors. When fall comes, theres a holiday or more like an event that all the kids look forward to. That is Halloween. Everyone gets dressed up in their favorite costumes and goes Trick-or-Treating around the neighborhood. After going around, we would get together and see who got the most treats and trade the ones we like. In the winter, it would snow more than 10 inches so we would have snow fights and build big snowmans.

I really liked the environment in the states and miss it a lot. Although I'm not a kid any more and won't be able to do the things I did back when I was little, I would still like to go back. Maybe I will go in the near future :)

My future..

Whenever some one had asked me what I wanted to do or work for in the future, I had always replied that I wanted to become a flight attendant. Becoming a fligh attendant was my dream since I was in elementary school. That is one of the reason why I want to improve my english skills. I am also learning spanish as my second language and just started learning korean on my own. (I thought it would be better to be able to speak more than two languages=D)
If I ever do become a flight attendant, I would like to work at either in Emirates, Singapore, or Thai Airline. I like to travel so I would like to visit different places as a flight attendant.
