Summer arts work shop

Today I went to the church for preparing for summer arts work shop.
Summer Arts Work Shop is one of church's events and many young women and men will join this event.
I will perform singing and dancing with my friends.
So we practiced for it today.
We had only two hours to prepare but we had fun there!
We will have one more practice on Tuesday, so I am looking forward to it!

Tomorrow, my friend, Mai will stay at my host family's house because her host family will be out on Friday and Saturday.
She cannot go there, so she will stay with us tomorrow night.

Harry Potter5

Today, I went to West Edmonton Mall to watch Harry Potter5 with my friend, Eri.
We got there at about 10a.m.
First, we went to the theater to get tickets.
However, the theater would open at 11a.m.
So we went shopping first.
We went to Chinatown because Eri wanted to buy Japanese foods there.
After that, we went to the theater again and we got tickets safely.
Actually, I was not interested in Harry Potter, but Eri didn't wanna watch it alone.
So she asked me to go there and gave me "free ticket"
However, there was only one free ticket, so Eri paid her ticket charge.
I appreciate her kindness! I love her!!!!!!
We enjoyed watching it very much.

Before we watch a movie, we went to Disney store.
We bought our host children's birthday presents there because it was sale!
I bought two presents for my host boys.
Good shopping! I am happy!

Today, I left my camera at home, so I couldn't take pictures....
I regret it...

Anyway, I enjoyed watching "Harry Potter5"
I will finish reading "Harry Potter1" as soon as possible and I will start reading "Harry Potter2"

It is raining again.
Recently, it is not so hot. It is cold!!!
It is like summer has gone...

See ya,

Harry Potter4

Hi,
Now, my host family are out.
So, my Japanese friend, Eri is coming to my house and we will watch Harry Potter4 together!
Tomorrow, we are gonna West Edmonton Mall to watch Harry Potter5.
After Eri finishes her supper, she will come here.
Before she comes here, she will call me.
Now I am waiting for her calling!

Actually, I have watched "Harry Potter1" in Japan.
Since I came here, I watched "Harry Potter2 and3"
Recently, I started reading "Harry Potter1" in English.
My host family has one, so I borrowed it from them.

Now, it is raining.
Canada doesn't have "the rainy season" but recently rain often comes.
I mean it is like "the rainy season"
However, it isn't damp, so it's all right!

See ya,

Heritage Festival3

Hello.

Today, I went to the last day of Heritage Festival.

Today is a holiday in Canada but I didn't know that bus schedule is Sunday schedule on holiday.

So I went to the bus stop at 10:45a.m but the bus didn't come.

Finally, the bus came to the bus stop at 11:30a.m.

I was a little shocked, but I got there on time. It's ok!

First, I ate lunch!

I tried eating a spring roll at Taiwan booth, an apple filled pastry at German booth and a gogosi elephant ear) at Romania booth.

About an elephant ear, it looks like elephant ear, so it is called "elephant ear"

It was huge, so I couldn't eat all.

After that, I helped cooking and selling Japanese foods.

Today was also nice weather, so many people were there.

And many volunteers helped.

Almost volunteers were from Japan.

I met some Japanese boys from Nagoya international school.

They were not so good boys. I was a little sad to see their behavior.

I didn't know what Nagoya international school, so after I came back home, I checked that school's homepage.

I guessed the boys were so rich and it must be a private school.

It was correct.

I worked with two men.

One of them goes to the university here and another person is his friend.

They are from Nara.

His friend is going back to Japan day after tomorrow.

He came here to see his friend on holiday.

And he gave me Japanese candies! I am happy!

However, it is "a once-in-a-lifetime chance"(ICHI GO ICHIE)

I hope I can meet them again in the future because they were nice!

It was a very good experience for me to help Heritage Festival.

I want to go there every year because it is a fun festival!

I will attach some countries performance pictures!

Japanese performed "SO-RAN BUSHI"

Many people were interested in it.
