There is the GoldenWeek in Japan and I went to Minamata in Kumamoto.
My grandmother lives in Minamata as she makes her living from the soil. She has 5 children. Shigeki(my father), Ryuji, Hideshi, Mikiko, Kazuya. They are already grown up and they make their own living by themselves. As she has many children, I have so many cousins.
Minamata is famous for Minamata desease. I would like to tell you about it in next blog.
I worked there for agriculture for my grandmother. She has lived alone for over 5 years and as she is already elder woman, it is hard for her to make her living from agriculture by her self.Therefore, I have gone to Minamata since I was little child to help her with farming.
It was long vacation this year, I did many things. So, I enjoyed this Golden week!!

Shoko,
If you could talk to me before class about your post about Minamata, I would like to use it as an example for class, so if you read this and can come to the class room a little before class, that would be great. Thanks!
