Band

Image
 Last Sunday, I went to see the live concert in the university band club of my friend. There was a loud sound in the live music club and I was so excited. My friend was singing. It was so cool! I enjoyed her stage. Also, other band group sang "Kaibutu", which is one of my favorite songs,  I was very happy to listen to it!  I want to learn to electric guitar because my favorite artist play it. When I saw him playing at the first time,  I thought it was so cool! I want to become like him. If I get a job, or my life become stable, I want to start learning it as a hobby.   

Shopping

 In Last week's blog, I wrote that I came to my hometown on Friday. And the next Sunday, I went shopping with my mother. We went to a bookstore and clothing stores in Fukushima prefecture. She bought two books and three clothes for me. I was so happy to have wonderful time with her. On the way home from shopping, we ate Obanyaki with custard cream! But it was not sweet so she and I misunderstood that we had a cold lol.   Anyway, I was happy I went home:)

Kitakata ramen culture

  Now I am writing this blog in a train. I am going to go back to my hometown, Kitakata city in Fukushima prefecture. It takes 2.5 hours from Niigata city station. I am boring because my smartphone battery is 2% so I can’t use it.  Kitakata city is famous for its ramen. There are 120 ramen shops in there. Kitakata ramen is one of Japan’s three major ramen. The others are Sapporo ramen and Hakata ramen. The soup of Kitakata ramen is shoyu, and the noodle is medium-thick and curly. The famous and popular shops are Genraiken, Makoto dining, Bannai dining, and so on. I wanna recommend you to the ramen of Matu dining or Kikusui. Kitakata ramen is delicious so please try to eat it!  In Kitakata city, there are some strange foods related to Kitakata ramen. For example, ramen burger, ramenchi Katsu, ramen pudding, ramen ice cream, and so on. If you are interested  in these foods, try it!

My father

 Last Sunday, my father came to my house from Fukushima because he had no work on Sunday and Monday. He took a big pot and made kimchi hot pot. He put my favorite foods into it, such as kaki, scallops, shrimp dumplings and so on. It was very very delicious!!!!  In my house, my father cook and my mother wash the tableware and do the laundry. I think that division of household among my father and my mother is very good.   If only woman do a household, it would not a good family style. 

My artifact

Image
  A lovely key chain   My artifact is a key chain. This was given to me by my dance team reader at her wedding on November 27. She made it and It was used instead of a name tag in the wedding. This size is about 12cm. The basic color is clear and the top ribbon is pink. Three petals are inside and my name “Ayu” is written in the middle of it. It is usually with a chain, so I can attach it to my bag.   I belonged to a dance team from 10 years old to 14 years old. There were twelve members  and I was the youngest of the group. There is a nine years difference between the reader and I. She treated me kindly. She always said to me,  “Let’s take a picture together!” because I didn’t have a smartphone. She posted these pictures on the internet instead of me. I am grateful to her and love her.  In our team, there were many problems about dancing, directions of the team, and so on. For example, we talked about whether to keep attending festivals inside our hometown...
