Saint Valentine's Day

Saint Valentine's Day is coming soon!
In Japan, on Saint Valentine's Day, many women give some chocolates to someone who is a boyfriend, a senior, or any other man. These days, some women who have no boyfriend can enjoy Saint Valentine's Day. They make or buy a chocolate and give it to their friends. It is called tomo-choco. But it makes me more lonely, I think....
I have no boyfriend now, so I'm gonna give a chocolate to my father♪

I participated in a homestay program in Minnesota last summer. This is my first time to go abrord, so I was excited and nervous. However, I like Minnesota soon. Minnesota has a lot of beautiful nature. There are so many lakes. I was surprised that there is a lake in my school!

I went to YU-NO-KURA with my friend. It is getting colder and colder these days, so hot spring made us happy!

YU-NO-KURA is in Yamaga and we drove to there. We have a only simple map, so we lost our way sometimes, but we arrived our destination!

Actually, we wanted to ICHIBOKU-ISSO but we couldn't go in the Japanese-style hotel because TV coverage started there, so we went to YU-NO-KURA where is near ICHIBOKU-ISSO.

Its open-air bath is good. We could feel comfortable and relax.

After that, we went back to Kumamoto city. We went to Kaio-do but there were full. We had no reservation, so we went to Edoichi. We can have smorgasbord there. When we enter the restaurant, we were very excited! We found a loooooooot of sushi, yakiniku, fruits, cakes, pastas, salads, and desserts. It go without saying that we ate too much♪

Then, on our way to my house, he gave me a CD he made. There are many songs he selected. He think I'll like the songs. When I got back home, I listened the CD. Of course I like it...♪ At about 22:00, I went back home. I had a good time.

We have many cashmere clothes which collaborate with designers of all over the world.Cashmere is soft to the touch.

Color variation of fleece is very nice. They sell like fun these days, especially purple!

Then, we walked around pine of love chance. There were some people who seemed to have same wish as we have. After that, we went to Juyful to have lunch. We found many Joyfuls on our way to Aso.
