New Year holidays In this New Year holidays, my friend came back to Japan with her families. She got married with American man and moved to Chicago. She came back with her husband and two little kids during this holiday. I was surprised that two kids grow up compared to last year. We visited to many traditional places like shrines and temples and had a good time.

Taking a rest Yesterday was Saturday. I waked up in the morning and did the wash and cleaned rooms. After doing those affairs, I was sleeping on the couch before I knew it. I wanted to write a diary in English everyday on this site, but I couldn’t yesterday. I think I was tired. While I am tired, I can’t do what I want to do. I slept for a long time last night, I can write this diary. Taking a enough rest is very important.

My holidays are end Today is the first day of working in 2018. Since New Year holidays was very long (7 days), it was hard to start working in the morning. I drank many cups of coffee. Opened and replied many emails received in the holidays, it became dark in the evening. I miss my holidays. Since next national long holidays are in April, I am going to plan to do.

Shopping I went shopping to a near shopping moll today. I wanted to buy climbing shoes, but I can’t find good ones. When I was going to go back my home, I found a outdoor shop and entered it. A saleswoman talked to me. she was very nice and she knew about their product very well. I feel her love for their product. I bought a pair of climbing shoes and a backpack.
