Wine and Seafood Festival in Maclarlane Vale

Yesterday, Yuri, Ja-Young, Yuri`s host mother and me went to `Wine and Seafood Festival` because I really wanted to eat seafood. I had bisque, oysters, sweets and three glass of wine. All were soooo yummy!!!!!

A Special Day in Japan---Summer Festival

In Japan, each prefectures, cities and towns have a lot of summer festivals. There are many food stands, for example okonomiyaki, takoyaki, fried potatoes, yakisoba, various kinds of shaved iced etc...Also, we can play catch gold fish, throw rings etc... The most exciting things for me are watching fire works and wearing a yukata. Yukata is traditional Japanese clothes, like kimono. Although many summer festivals are held, I really like my hometown`s one because the fire works are raised near to audience. It`s so beautiful!!! Almost all fire works are raised a little far from us, moreover, when we watch a beautiful one, we clap our hands so I recommend to go to festival of my hometown!!
However I can`t go there this year, I will enjoy various festivals in Australia!!!

Living in Adelaide

7 weeks has gone after I`ve come to Adelaide.
At first, I couldn`t understand Aussie accent...because we learn American English in Japan so I couldn`t accept British English.....
However, I really like Aussie accent now!!!
My new teacher, Helen taught us how to remember new vocabulary. It`s fit on me, I think. Although I`d lived in homestay before, I live in a share house so I have to catch a bus. However, I can spend time to memorize vocabulary on a bus.
Moreover Helen taught us that to watch movies and memorize sentences are good way to study English.
But I don`t have a DVD player in my house so I have to buy it.

Farewell party

Today, we had a farewell party. Because a term finished today.

We brought dishes, some pople brought their own countrie`s traditional food, some did snacks.

But it was nice idea. I had a good time.

Nikujaga ( beef and potato) and miso soup

Recently I miss Japanese food... So I made Nikujaga and miso soup!!!
I put sugar in nikujaga. Sometimes we cook meat with sugar in Japan.
I heard it`s strange. Sukiyaki is one of famous Japanese foods, I think.
We also use sugar in it.
