Summer is here

Summer is here, and it is getting to be very humid again! As many of you know, my hometown is not a very humid place, so Japanese summer is very difficult for me. I feel like my skin is always covered in water, and i feel sticky all the time when I go outside. I have to be very careful to drink lots of water and sometimes even some sports drinks (Like Aquarius or Pocari Sweat!) so that I don't get dehydrated. I also end up taking 2 or 3 showers a day just to not feel sticky!

Do you feel sticky in the summer? How to you stay cool?

Fourth of July


The 4th of July is coming up in a few days, and in America that means BBQs and fireworks!

A lot of people get wrapped up in the festivities of the holiday that they often forget the real purpose of the day, which is our Independence.

In my family we would always dress in as much red, white and blue as we could and go to see my god parents. At their house we would have a BBQ and eat lots of food. Then, sometimes, we would go to a park and watch a fireworks display. One year we even saw the fireworks in Washington DC, that were displayed behind the Washington Monument!

This day is a fun day to spend with family and friends, but we have to remember that it's also an important day!
