Sesabo trip^^

 Hi everyone. I went to Sasebo and met my Taiwanese friend. Her name is Sarah.
I went to Sasebo 5 to 7 August. I will talk about my Sasebo trip.
 First day, I was got up at 6:00 am. It is so early and so hard for me. Because I had part time yesterday, this day my part time job place closes at 11 o’clock pm. I came back home at midnight and go to bed at 1 o’clock. I slept only 5 hours!! Too short for me. But I have to ride a bus about 8 o`clock. This bus needs appointment. I got appointment already. First, I went to Doutor and I bought my breakfast. After that, I went to main terminal and rode a bus. Kumamoto to Sasebo takes about 3 hours. After I ate my breakfast, I fell in sleep.
 After 3 hours, I arrived at Sasebo station bus terminal. And went to friend host family house. Her host family job is chief priest. He has so big temple. I was so surprised!! And met her soon!! I was so glad. And I ate lunch.
 After lunch, we went to green tea ceremony party. My job is interpreter. My English skill not good. But I hard to translate English to Japanese. I experienced real green tea ceremony for the first time. I took a lot of photo also. I know a few information about Japanese deep green tea. But I didn’t know real how to make deep green tea. I also learn how to make Japanese green tea.
After tea ceremony, we went to dinner. This time dinner is Yakiniku!! It’s so delicious. And so high grade price… So this restaurant uses bland beef. I and her much ate!! I want to go to again.
 Next day, we went to downtown in Sasebo only me and her. Her host family was so busy; I took her in down town. She wanted buy some souvenir. She bought a lot of things. For example, Japanese snack, pencil, origami, clothes and some medicine and so on. I don’t know why she bought Japanese medicine. After that, I heard her about why bought Japanese medicine reason. It is simple answer. Japanese medicine is nice quality. I think so too. And we went to also Sasebo station. She also likes super express train. She took many photos. But I was so tired. I wanted to come home soon.
 Came back home, we ate dinner and took a bath. After dinner we were talking much time. She said; don’t come back to Taiwan, because I come back Taiwan, my university start soon. I don’t like study. And I love Japanese food, I want to much eat. And also I made a lot of Japanese friends. You are also my best friend. I was so glad that she said. I said, ‘I will go to Taiwan and meet you.’ I want to go to Taiwan!!
 Last day, we went to post office. Because her baggage was so heavy. So she use international delivery service. After that I and she went to bus terminal. We had to say good bye. But we didn’t say this word. She was crying. But she also smiles. Because we promised that I will go to Taiwan next spring vacation. We can meet this time. Maybe I will stay her house. She said, “If you come to Taiwan, I will take you famous sightseeing place.” So we said good bye.
 This trip is so nice thing for me. I was taking about English all of time. It was hard for me. But nice experienced. And I make good foreign friends. I want to meet again in the future. Maybe next gather place is Taiwan. But if she comes at Japan again, I will go to her visit anywhere!! Thank you reading my long blog.

Hi everyone!! Today I finished my university exams. It is start my summer vacation!! I have many plans in my summer vacation. I will tell my summer vacation plan for everyone.
First, I will go to Sesebo Nagasaki, and I will meet my Taiwanese friend. She stays my friend’s house. She also experience home stay and Japanese culture. I met her in Aso camp. I will write Aso camp blogs in the future. Please wait it!!
By the way, my friends asked me. He said, ‘Hi, Junpei. Did you know her?? If you know her, please come to Sasebo!!’ I don’t have any plan. So I decided go to Sasebo.
Second, I will come back my home town. I have to go back my home town in this year. Because my grandfather died in January this year. Japan has “Bon.” Bon is so important traditional event in Japan. Bon is meaning dead people come back to their home. When it comes to Bon, all of relative and family gather at their home. And held drinking party, eating party and so on. And Bon’s last day, we held “Shorou Nagashi.” Shorou Nagashi mean is send died people soul for heaven again. We will go to river and make small ship. This ship made by straw or paper. So I will send my grandfather’s soul.
Next, I want to hard to my part time job. So my time salary up in this month. My time salary is 720 yen. It is so cheap. But if I could harder working, maybe raise my time salary. And I become night part time leader. I have a lot of responsibility. If our staffs missed anything, I have to deal. So important thing but I am not right company staff…
Next, I will meet my Chinese friend in August. This friend met Aso camp for the first time. I could make a lot of foreign friends. This friend stays Fukuoka. But he likes Shinkansen. His host family takes him Kumamoto and ride Shinkansen. We plan go to lunch and take Hinokuni Festival. I want to see him soon also.
Finally, I want to go trip. Best choice is go to abroad, but I don`t have enough money. I often go to Fukuoka, but I want to go to Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and Hokkaido and so on. And I want to go to shopping also. I want to buy some clothes.
I have a lot of plan in this summer vacation. I also want to enjoy this summer vacation!!
