Last Saturday was the Yodogawa fireworks. I know many people that went and enjoyed the festivities. Some people wore yukatas (which is like a lighter, summer-version of a kimono), and other people just wore casual clothes. Everyone said the fireworks were beautiful, but everyone also had the same complaint. They all said, "It was very crowded." Oh well, you can't win them all!!!
To change the subject, there is a hole in the screen door in my place. And last night, a big mosquito bit me on the back of my knee. How do I know it was a big mosquito? Well, let me tell you. Because the mosquito bite is big!! So the little bugger must also be big. And now the bite mark is big and red and itchy!!
Many people have already begun, or are going to begin very soon, Obon Vacation, or Summer Vacation. Do you have any plans over the vacation?
I do. I will go to my mother-in-law's house in Kyushu, and I am very much looking forward to the R&R(=rest and relaxation). I am going to do some light exercise like walking, jogging, and cycling, and also do some harder exercise like sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, and squats. After that I am sure that I will be sore, so I plan to go to a hot spring every day to soak my hurting muscles. Next, I will probably be exhausted (but a GOOD exhausted) so then I want to read some books, watch a DVD or two and take a nap.
And, I almost forgot. Because I got my driver's license, I hope to borrow my mother-in-law's car and go for a short drive once or twice. That is, if she lets me...
Speaking of driving, if you are interested in driving and cars in Japan, the below opinions are helpful.
