Last summer vacation, I went to Fukuoka and enjoyed many kinds of delicious seafood. The fresh fish, sashimi, and grilled dishes were very special, and I felt truly happy to taste local flavors that I rarely experience in my daily life. On the first evening, I visited a small yatai near the river and tried mentaiko, fish soup, and crisp tempura while chatting with the friendly owner. I also walked around the harbor, explored the lively streets of Tenjin and Hakata, and stopped by Dazaifu Tenmangū, where the calm atmosphere and green gardens helped me slow down. Watching the sunset from Momochi beach made the city feel warm and welcoming. During the holiday, I met my old friends from my hometown. We had not seen each other for a long time, so it was wonderful to talk, laugh, and play games together again. We exchanged stories about our universities, our part-time jobs, and our hopes for the future, which made me feel both nostalgic and motivated. After the break, I returned to university. Seeing my classmates and joining club activities again gave me comfort and energy. I felt ready to study new subjects, set clear goals, and start the new semester with confidence.

Hello, it's been a while. Summer vacation is over at my university. This time, in addition to English and Russian classes, I also took cultural exchange and religion classes. I didn't mind going to school, but my friends seemed a little tired. However, I'm tired after being back at school for a long time, so I want to eat lots of delicious food this week. By the way, my university's cultural festival is about a month away. I'm a member of the cultural festival executive committee, so I think I'll be busier from now on. However, I'll do my best to work together with my friends and get through it somehow.

I want to write about what happened this week. School started on Friday, and I was able to see my friends after a long time. School is tiring, but I like talking with my friends, so it was fun. I worked part time on Saturday and Sunday. I was very tired because I had school again on Monday, but I had an off on Tuesday this week! Because it was a Japanese holiday!! I took a good rest on Tuesday and went to Tokyo Disney Sea the next day. The Halloween event was very cut, and the food was delicious. I hope there will be many fun days next week!

Today, I made corn milk for my students and my family as I had promised them before. Normally they almost forget what I promise because it is always days before the time I make my promise. I still did it anyway. And everyone of them awed with the taste. It tasted much better maybe because I add more coconut milk, more milk, better corn and keep it deep cold in the fridge. I also like it myself.

Hello. My summer vacation just ended. How have you been? I made many great memories, such as visiting Nagano, Atami, and Izu. In Nagano, we made lots of memories with BBQ and fireworks. In Atami, we ate Atami pudding and enjoyed retro games. Finally, in Izu, we went to Mt. Amuro. The weather was bad and the fog was thick, but it was incredibly beautiful. Another highlight was winning lots of HUNTER×HUNTER and One Piece figures from crane games. At the end of the vacation, my family in Japan called my brother in France, and he told us about his studies there and how he spends his free time. I'd like to go to France too.

If I had enough money in my life like I won lottery, I would write a book. I would spend my day in a cosy coffee shop observing people and imagining their lives. I live in Paris so it would be my main inspiration. I would like to do something between Midnight in Paris (Woody Allen's movie) and Matrix. It would talk about time traveling, love and quest of identity. The tone would be witty and insightful. Wish me good luck to win lottery, otherwise it is most likely I never begin this soon-to-be bestseller book :)

I want a Slurpee, but no shop opens today.

Last weekend I went to Toyama for a Yosakoi festival. It was my first time going to Toyama, so I was very excited. The city looked beautiful, and I was curious about what kind of memories I could make there. On the first day, we started dancing but suddenly thunder and lightning came. The sound of the thunder was so loud that it surprised me. Because of the storm, the event had to stop in the middle. I felt sad and disappointed, but I also thought it was the right choice because safety is important. The second day was much better. The weather was sunny, and the night stage was shining with many bright lights. Dancing on that stage was like a dream. The lights made everything sparkle, and the audience cheered with so much energy. I was smiling the whole time because it felt amazing. I thought again that Yosakoi is really special. It is not only dancing but also sharing happiness with people. I also tried Toyama’s famous food. I ate Toyama Black Ramen, and it was delicious. The soup was very strong with black pepper and garlic. It was salty, but in a good way, and it gave me energy after dancing. I was glad I could try a local food. This trip was short, but it was full of fun, dancing, and new experiences. I really want to go to Toyama again someday.

I always hear that someone who is very successful like to visit their elementery school teachers on special days. There must be something really important the teachers had taught them. We always say that button the first button in our life can affect the rest of our life. So, who is the first preson help us button our first life button besides our parents? The answer must be teachers for most people. Teachers not only teach us knowledges in class, but also lead us to be a better self. They helped us overcome many tough times in our life. They taught us howto be alind person. We like to use burning candles to desribe our teachers. They light up their students' road without complaining anything until they are too old to stand on the platform. Most people usually respect the unselfish and positive people in their life, teachers certainly fall into this category.
