《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 :)
