Hello, everyone. This is Miori. I am sure that we all had a great time in this summer.
And I would like to share my memory of this summer with all of you.
During the summer vacation, I went to Ishikawa prefecture in which my grandparents live. I went there alone for the first time. I took bus and train, and it took me 8 hours in total to get to my grandparents' house. It had been 2 years since I last visited them, so it was the fisrt time to see them after I went to New Zealand to learn English.
I used to go to Ishikawa prefecture, and see not only my grandparents but also other relatives. I have 9 cousins and second cousins in total who live in there, and 8 people of them are younger than me, so everytime I go to Ishikawa, I look after, and play with them instead of their parents.
These are some of my cousins.
We enjoyed sparkers, and one day my aunt's family took me to Kyoto prefecture as well.
It was the first time after I went to New Zealand, so everyone asked me about it many times, and tried to make me speak English, but my grandmother told me that I became much cheerful than I used to be, and I was glad to hear that. I enjoyed so many things in Ishikawa and Kyoto. I enjoyed the beautiful scenery, air and life which seem to be carefree. But what I enjoyed most was the time I spent with my grandparents, other relatives and little cousins. For my relatives, it might be just an usual thing to go out or eat dishes everyone together. But for myself, I hardly go out or eat dinner with my family in Tokyo because of being busy, so I felt happiness all the time in Ishikawa.
From this experience, I realized how much I had missed the precious time I could have in my life, and people in Ishikawa recalled me to the importance of family, so from now on, I will spend the time with my family preciously, and I will try to have dinner together as much as I can.
