analysing my type is difficult!
but i try this time.

i think i am a person of the hardworking type,
whichever the efforts are rewarded or not.
i am maybe taking trouble for others or me.
what i can do is doing more than others because i am not naturally gifted.

my favorite types of tastes are...
something sweet.
something warm.
something brown.
something fantastic.
someone enjoyable, like you!

japanese people are very much into comics and their games.
i am a person who never read comics.
i don't know why people are so sttracted to those stuffs.
but when i loking aroud, friends are lending or borrowing comics.
they say that the stories are very interesting.
i think it is the poower that those characters and the plots have.

moreover, people around me find it exciting to play those games,such as pocket monsters.
they really rise enthusiasm toward those stuff, and i think it a kind of addiction.
some of myfriends play games if they find time.
they really lokking forward to the time to play games!
many people agree teh idea that those games and comics are interesting.
i think what is remarcable in Japan is that noy only children but also older people, including university students and maybe the generation od our parents enjoys reading comics and playing game a lot.
now this trend is spreading all over the world, but i think Japan has been the hot place.

i think that bowing is japanese unique custom.
when we meet a person who we know, we cannot help bowing.
maybe japanese are shy, so people just bow to people without saying anything.
it is a useful way to show politeness.
if we want to thank someone, we sometimes just bow.
if we want to express that i am sorry, or ask to excuse me, we can do that just bowing.
some foreign people say that japanese bow too much, though.

on the contrary, i often see foreign people huggng each other.
when they take pictures, we can see those scenes often.
this behavior may be not easily acceprable for japanese at first.
foreign people like touching each other more than japanese.

these days, people have more and more communication with people in other countries so that diffent culture are mixing up.
i think japanese people will be used to see these different culture.
but i don't think bowing is a strange behavior for now.

thinking of big technology, transtportation is very important.
it maeks our life very convinient.
if it had not been for transportation technology,
it takes a lot of time to go anywhere and we cannot easily meet someone, go shopping trael, and so on.
i do not walk to school all the way from my house every day.
if it takes somuch time to go to school,
i would have very little time to relax, do homework, work and so on.
and everyday would be a tough day.
because of the transportation technology, our life goes smoothly!

but now i think we should consider the problems, such as environment.

i went to Naoshima, one of the islands in Shikoku.

This summer, the art festival was held there, so we visited outside art works.
my father and i walked a lot!

it was a hot day.
the ferry was comfortable!





My father and i also had a one day trip to Shiga.
first, we went to Hikone castle to see HIko-nyan!


Then, we went around Like Biwa on the train.
we walked to Amanomori Housyuu ann!
we didn't intend to walk a lot this time, but the way to this cultural place was very long.
we walked along the rice fileds, streams with carps, flowers and waterwheels, and under the strong sun shine.




The last memory in the summer vacation is training camp with my team members.

we stayed at Spa world.
