I went to the Strait of Naruto with a friend of mine. We went there by car and it took two hours from Kagawa prefecture one way but it was really fun. I sang many songs all the way there and he looked tired of my singing. I wanted to take a ship but it would much cost. We abandoned the ship and across the bridge that is over the Strait of Naruto. It was fantastic to see. I want to take a ship someday.

I did fireworks on September 8th. This is from Print Club. We went to shopping before that , had a dinner, and took this picture. About 8 o’clock, we went to Kasenjiki (under the Kokai Bridge). We bought many packs of fireworks and there were extra fireworks after that. I went to England this summer and I could go to the fireworks display in August. My friends who stayed in my hometown planed to do this party for me and a friend of mine. I was really happy to be able to do that. I appreciate to them

I went to Leicester, in England this summer. I made friends with Italian people because my host family knew them. I was really nervous at first because I couldn’t speak English well. However, my host families were so kind to me that my strain was gone.
This picture was taken in a bar. I went there with my Italian friends. They were very funny and kind. I still keep in touch with them.
