October someday

From this semester, I’ve found many students who are studying Japanese and they trigger to make lots of new friends and I am teaching Japanese to my friends and they teach me English or their languages in return. This should be one of the best ways to study languages and also new friends whom I have made in volleyball team or other societies help me a lot in lectures. I have reconfirmed how friends are important every day.

October 28th

31th October is Halloween day. It was my first time to celebrate Halloween in my life because in Japan, we don’t really celebrate it. I chose a white costume and a wig to disguise “Samara(in Japanese 貞子Sadako)” who is the one of the famous Japanese horror movie characters to attend the party. It was very fun. In this country around Halloween, we could see lots of people who wear nice? funny costume throughout the city so I wasn’t ashamed to do. I’m sure if I strolled with that costume in Japan, I would be got police check up. Lots of children visited our home to scare us and get some sweets. I really enjoyed a western culture.

I saw queen in front of Hancock museum. I was lucky. She wore nice pink clothing. I heard when she goes out, she always wear vivid colour to easy be found by everybody.

I saw The Queen on the TV because 11th November was a special day for the UK to remember the wars and victims of the wars. The Queen and other notable figures offered wreaths to the monument. Around this day people wear poppies as a kind of symbol of remembrance. I found that lots of people, foriegners as well as British, wear one on their chest. I think this is a good habit and it is important not to duplicate the tragedies. However I felt sorry because after the ceremony was broadcast, they announced the names of the soldiers who died in Afghanistan this week. I felt really strange and could not understand why lots of people shed tears for the victims, when at the same time they still continue the fight causing more deaths.

Similarly, in Japan we have a ceremony on 15th August to mark Japan's exit from the Second World War.
