Almost all countries have their own holidays with unique characteristics and personality. Also Japan has its own original holidays. “Coming of Age Day” (Seijin-no Hi) is a Japanese traditional holiday. On this holiday, Japanese people celebrate those who are becoming an adult and they wear Japanese traditional clothes. “Respect for The Aged Day” is a very important day for Japanese people. Especially on this day, Japanese people think about social welfare issues, such as the matter of a falling birth rate and an aging population. “Marin Day” and “Mountain Day” symbolize the start to an amazing summer. In addition, Japanese people connect with nature more on these holidays. Again, each country has its holidays with unique characteristics. Everyone should celebrate each national holiday happily.
I went on a totally amazing Southwest trip with my classmates. The trip was my first time to go to the Southwest so everything was new to me. Sarah, Anikke and Bethany came with us. They made our trip more exciting. I’m happy I could go on this trip with them and I had a lot of great experiences. First, I really enjoyed New Mexico. It was chilly but not too cold. I went to the Old Town in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I liked the Old Town because there are many cute things and good restaurants in there. For example, I found a gate that was decorated with a lot of red chili peppers. I had never seen anything like that before so I was very surprised and it looked like a lot of flowers from a distance. The red chili peppers were absolutely gorgeous. Not only that, I found a great restaurant. I forgot the name of the restaurant but they have really delicious Mexican food. They gave me some Mexican chips for free and recommended that I eat the chips with honey. I really like Mexican chip
