My Summer Vacations Memories 1

I enjoyed my summer vacation for this long-term holidays. I went to a lot of places which has many sightseeing places and I experienced valuable things there. At first, I want to tell about my first trip of this summer. I went to Kagoshima with my family and I visited famous sightseeing places in Kagoshima. It was one night and two days trip, because we had much money to stay there so long. Actuary, that travel was little bit short to visit many places and enjoy amply. Even so that travel is very fun and so fresh impression for me.

The first day of the trip, I ride my parents car and went to Kagoshima. It took about two or three hours to arrive there. It was so long way for us. In addition, there was some traffic jams on our way to Kagoshima. We leaved our home at morning, so there were rush hours. I sat in the back seat of my parents car and listened music until arrive at Kagoshima. My mother drove a car the whole time because she doesn't use to sit in the front passenger seat of the car. If she sat in the front passenger seat so long time and move long distance, she has carsickness. We dropped in to the rest area sometimes and bought some drinks. I bought a cup of coffee and one deep-fried food then, but it took so long time until coffee machine complete to make a coffee. However, it taste was so good. After then, we arrived Kagoshima and we heading for the hotel which we will stay. When we arrived Kagoshima, it was about noon and weather was cloudy. However, fortunately, it didn't rain.

Actually, this trip was complacently benefited for my mother because she was very looking forward to the live which held in Kagoshima. So, actually I and my father brought by my mother as guide of Kagoshima. However, I'm not familiar with Kagoshima, so I depended on my father when we move to the city hole. When we arrived city hole where held live. I and my father had to wait there for about two or three hours. we had many discontents when we waited so long time. first of all, we didn't know why we had to wait so long time at that time, but we heard that reason after waiting. Apparently, my mother wanted to buy goods of the live, so she stood in long line at that line. So she let us to wait so long time there! Actually, we thought that she should stand in line only herself. When we waited her, we talked about Sakurazima which is the volcano famous in Kagoshima because we could gaze it from city hole's window. However, tick cloud covered with the top of the Sakurazima at that time. We felt something hazy feeling then.



After we waited until the good shops open, a large number of people who want to buy some goods rushed into the good shops. There ware so crowded and filled with excitement. My mother tried to approach to the good shop, however she pushed back by other people who came to buy goods. I and my father thought that we have to kill whole time at that time. After all, she spend a lot of money and amazed by my father. I can't give a concrete of an amount, but it was extreme price for me. After the end of her shopping, we went back to the hotel for a while.

After then, she went to the concert hole only herself. Actually, I had to follow with her in the beginning. However, I refused her suggestion. I had many experiences that I followed with her, but actually I can't get along with the atmosphere of that live. There were a lot of female and everyone so excited when they enjoying the live. In addition, I don't have any interesting for the artist. So I wouldn't go to the live this year. After saw she off at the entrance of hotel, I and my father went to sightseeing. However, we didn't know well about Kagoshima's sightseeing places at that time. So, we decided to go some shops which picked up by a TV program. At first, we went to Tenmonkan. There is a kind of arcade, but there are so complex sidewalk. At first, we decided to walk around. There was many old-fashioned shops and restaurants. However, after we walk around almost everywhere, we got lost. We have a reservation of dinner at that time, but we didn't gasp the location of the restaurant, so we search to where we were with our smart pones. However, we couldn't get correct map data because there are inside of the arcade. After about 20 minutes from when we started to looked for the restaurant, finally we found the restaurant.

That restaurant is one of yakiniku restaurant, but there was a little bit different points with ordinarily yakiniku restaurant. The restaurant provided a special stove which can bake some meats with charcoal fire. These meats taste was so good, but the menu which we ordered was too expensive to eat. In addition, there were some people who was dead drunk, so inside of the restaurant was so noisy. Maybe, this problem was natural thing for that restaurant, but I wanted to eat dinner at more quiet place. After we ate the dinner, we went to a cafe and ordered some desserts. Actually, it was too late time at that time, so there were no people in the cafe. When we came back to the hotel, my mother had already backed from the live.



After that, I went to hotel's large bathroom. That bathroom was located the top floor of the hotel, so I ought to have seen Sakurazima from the bathroom. However, I couldn't see the whole mountain because thick cloud still covered with the top of the mountain. When I came out of a bath and back to room, I talked with my family about today's sightseeing. And finally, we were go to bet. It was the middle of the night.

This is a part of story of my trip. I want to tell also second day of this trip if I have free time.

"He knew tonight he would not feel cold." (24.p.).

I have an experiences that I find a bill by the roadside. It seemed 1,000 yen, but that bill was but condition because it seemed ran over by a car. So, I couldn't peel off it from ground. Actually, I think I missed something a big chance at that time. However, It is very strange thing that a piece of paper has big value. If things don't go well, many people seeking them better than gold or jewels. Of cause, exchange of bills has many countless good points. However, at the same time, we lose site of the value of money inadvertently.

The protagonist of this story is Lei. Apparently he living in poor home and he has many things what he want to do. When he find a bill and snatched it, he crushed it inside of his hand. Actually I don't know that 100-yuan is how valuable. However, I think he was so nervous at that time. After he got a bill, he thought about how he going to spend his money. So, that money was so important for him. However, at last, he spent his money for his grandfather's new glasses. I think he noticed real value of money. After all, his money's value was lessen, but he seems happy. This is a most important scene of this story. At least, I think so.

BR 2-01: Cheese-Rolling Races (Waring Rob, 2008)


"What makes them do it? Are they crazy?" (16.p.).

Have you ever heard about this festival? At least, I know this festival because I have watched a TV program which picked up about it. Famous Japanese comedian attended this festival and he came tumbling from the hill hardly. Actually, when I found out about it for the first time, I didn't understand feeling of the people who attended that festival. Probably I think so too now. This book pick up and telling some comments of a participant. I read them, however that comments was very simple and little bit silly. The participant's thought was completely same as what I think.

In addition, there are a lot of people who injured seriously not only participants but also many spectators who came to festival site to watch participants. However, most of people enjoying this festival every year. Maybe, their thinking for this festival is very easy. This is a one of the reason why this festival is continuing until now. In addition, this festival has long history and culture of local country. This is a big factor. I think this problems over from a different angle, I can find new thinking. However, I wish a lot of people progress this festival more safely.
