This summer vacation was very exiciting for me!!
Until last summer, I went to high school to take part in club activity almost every day, but this summer I didn't have to go there and I had much time.
The first half of summer vacation, I went to three festivals with my friends. The three festivals are Ashiya Summer Carnival, Tenjin festival and PL festival. Wearing yukata, we couldn't walk as well as usual. We got tired, but soon we got well thanks to the food such as hashimaki, yakisoba and little sponge cakes. Fireworks were marvelous. I was moved very much, and could feel Japanese summer.
Around the middle of August, I went on a trip to Nagoya with my family. We went to a house that recreates involved in the movie of Tonarino Totoro. I like Ghiburi's movie, so I was looking forward to seeing that. The house was built in great detail, and better than I have expected. In the house, there were not only the same furniture as the movie, but also same clothes. I took many pictures. I recommend that Ghiburi fans go to there!!
From August 23rd to 31st, I went to Taiwan and Malaysia with my seminar's teacher, friends and seminar's teachers and students in other universities. Our purpose is studying how Japanese companies work in foreign country. We visit Japanese companies such as Sony and Yamaha. Then employees explained their company and showed us their factory. These experience are interesting, especially tours of factories. That's because we can't go to factories in daily life. Through them, I thought that I have to use products aroud me carefully.
During the day, we went to companies, but we were free at nights. My friends, teacher (sometimes) and I went shopping and eating dinner at night market. Taiwanese food and Malaysian food was very cheap and delicious. Last two days in Penang, Malaysia, we were free all day long, we played parasailing bananaboat and jetskiing. It was so exciting.
We swam in the pool. I had very very good time. I could study many things, make friends and enjoy sightseeing. I want to go to Taiwan and Malaysia again.
