Fireworks
In Japan there are many places that hold fireworks display especially in Summer. Today there were 3 places that we could watch fireworks in Tokyo. Sumidagawa, Tachikawa and Hachioji. One of the most famous place where we could watch fireworks today was Sumidagawa. But my house is not near in Sumidagawa and I can watch other fireworks from my house. Then I enjoyed watching fireworks from my house. I'm living in Hachioji and there was fireworks display today too. Hachioji is located in west side of Tokyo and over 500,000 of people are living there. Fireworks display in Hachioji is part of "Hachioji matsuri (festival)". It is not so famous and its scale is not so big. But I could enjoy it from my house.
Unfortunately, my house is not so near from the launch place. Then fireworks in photo and video is small. Please mention it.

Sebum-blotting hanky
Do you know sebum-blotting paper? It is very famous souvenirs in Kyoto. Many women buy it when they go to Kyoto. But it is paper so, we can't reuse it. I think, it is not good for environment and my purse.
But don't worry, I found sebum-blotting hanky. This fabricated hanky have same function of sebum-blotting paper. Also this hanky can wash and reuse it. It is good for environment and my purse.
Today, I used one of them its hand feeling like usual hanky. Of course, it blotted skin sebum. But I can't analyze my hanky so, it may not blotted skin sebum... I hope hanky blotted skin sebum.

TOEIC
Last month I took TOEIC exam like I said before. I got the email from TOEIC yesterday. And now I know the result of TOEIC. I write that score.
My score of listening was 365 and score of reading was 280. Finally the total score of mine was 645.
I think, it is not so high. Then I'll keep studying English.
Thank you for you reading!

Marine day
Yesterday was Umi no Hi. "Umi" means sea, "Hi" means day. So we can say it in English "Sea day". But I think, "Marine day" is better than "Sea day". "Marine day" is national holiday. And most of Japanese students are now in Summer holidays. So, many people go to family trip in this day and season. Then, traffic ties-up on expressways. It happened even when the gasoline prices are increasing.
Anyway, most of Japanese students are now in Summer holidays like I said. But some students like me are not in Summer holidays yet. These days, high temperature is really high and I don't think it is good to study in such a hot day. But we must study...:(
Yesterday's high temperature in Kyoto was 37.5 degrees (Celcius). It was the highest high temperature in this year.Of course, Tokyo's high temperature was over 30 degrees (Celcius). Tokyo's high temperature was over 30 degrees (Celcius) for 10 days. 10 days! Can you believe it?
I hope the summer holidays will come to me soon...
Thank you for your reading!
Good day & Peace and Smile.

Pokemon Shinkansen
(image from: East Japan Railway Company's HP)
East Japan Railway Company and All Nippon Airways are now in campaign. You can ride very unique vehicle if you are lucky. Maybe I can't ride these unique vehicle because I have any plan to go with these vehicles.
Pokemon is very famous Japanese animation and video game among kids still. Pokemon was very famous animation and video game even when I was elementary school student (about 10 years ago). Maybe some people know about Pokemon.
You can meet these Pokemon Shinkansen between 19th July and 15th September. Most of Japanese elementary schools and Junior high schools are in summer holidays. So, they decided to do this campaign I think.
If you have a chance to use Tohoku shinkansen, Akita shinkansen, Yamagata shinkansen, Joetsu shinkansen or Nagano shinkansen, please check it. Also you can check unique vehicle in air port. ANA (All Nippon Airways) is ready to use two types of Pokemon jet. These are Pikachu jumbo and Ohana jumbo.
More information check JR-east HP and ANA HP. But these pages are written in Japanese.
Thank you for your reading!
Good day & Peace and Smile.
