For my blog She, one of my best friends from high school, was walking gently with arms linked with her father. That was our first contact after long time. She looked absolutely gorgeous in a white beautiful dress and her small face was hidden in a shining bridal veil. The times have gone by so fast. I have finally noticed that we have already been grown-up since we were still 16 years-old naughty girls.  I came back to Japan again. I would no longer be surprised how many people there are or how convenient the stores are. The weather was, however, extremely hot when I arrived, it was around 30 degrees and so humid that I had to take off my scarf and sweater. I totally looked like an outlander.  While staying at home with my family or meeting my friends from school, I always feel like I am a kid, but on the other hand I feel really old enough. The kid acts like a baby in front of her family but she also has concern for her aged parents. This kind of strange sensation makes me a little confused. I believe people in their late twenty have such a mixed feeling in the same way as I do. We have to be responsible for every single thing, but we want to be a kid forever.  I'll visit Kyoto to see my grandma, because she is sick. I was relieved to hear that she isn't in such worse condition than I expected. Trip to Japan costs me a lot and it is not so easy to see my family very often. One of the biggest issues faced by people living abroad is about their family, for sure.  Except visiting my grandma, the another purpose in coming here is to take the exam for Japanese teacher. Honestly, I don't really want to proclaim this matter even on my blog, because it would put unnecessary pressure on me, but if I want to aim to become sincere person when I keep bloging, there is no help for it. I hope it will be alright.  I would like to describe people or what it's like in this country during my stay. Japan always fascinates and sometimes astonishes people, even if they were born in there and had been living more than 20 years. Everything changes so quick, but people still keep an old, odd and eccentric Japanese custom, which is very interesting. I never have enough of that.
