My hometown

I live in Kengun, Kumamoto. I have lived here since I was born. My favorite place is　the Kengun local shopping street. When I was a child, I went to “Yoichi” every week. “Yoichi” is a small festival. There is a lot of foods shops, scooping goldfish, scooping yo-yo, and chipped ice shop in the street. I sometime went there with my family. There is Macdonalds shop near my house and there is an amusement park there. I played with my friends when I was a child.

 I am from Wakaba elementary school. It takes only five minute from my house on foot. There are a lot of greenery. There are ginkgo, zelkova and any other trees. I played tag in these trees but there are many insects. I got many ginkgo nuts and my father cooked them. I grew cucumbers, tomatos and many vegetables in my school. I grew up through living with nature. Then, I went to Higashino junior high school. There is a beautiful garden and many pound-raised carp in this school. I often spent time at little park near this school with my friends and we talked a long time.

My recommend noodle shop is “Taketonbo”. I like the pork bones noodle and I often go there alone. My older brother likes it too. Few months ago, this shop caught fire but was not damaged. I felt relieved. I think I will eat there noodles there forever.

Then, my next faorite spot is “Ezu-lake” and “Kumamoto city plants and zoological park”. “Ezu-lake” is a beautiful place. In the summer, I play in the water. Last month, I went to the zoological park with my friend. I like lions so I watched them for a long time. It was so cool. I often went there when I was a child. I went there with my family or my grandfather. I became miss my grandfather.

This is my hometown.

The best day of my life

I went to TVXQ’s concert in Fukuoka Marin Messe five years ago. The day is the best day of my life. I went there with my high school’s friend. TVXQ is Korean idol group. Their names are Yunho, Changmin, Yuchun, Jeajung and Junsu. There were five singers in this group and they were active in Japan. So they were good at speaking of Japanese.

I have many of their CDs, DVDs and photo books. I watched their DVDs many times with my mother. My mother loved them too. My mother and I belonged to their fan club so I could get tickets. I became so happy but my mother couldn’t go to the concert because she had to go work. That day, at first I bought many goods. I bought pictures, a paper fan, a sweat rag and T-shirt etc. I lined up a long time with my friend. It was very hot and tired. When the concert began, I was so excited. When I saw them, I cried. When we listened to a dancing song, we called out with a big voice. Their voices were very wonderful.

Yuchun played piano. I love him the best of all. He is good at playing piano. He was so cool. I became love him more and more. I thought I wanted to marry him. Yunho is leader of the group. He is good at dancing. His dance is so powerful and speedy. Junsu is the nicest singer. He told jokes many time. He is an entertainer. My mother loved him very much and we liked his voice. Jeajung’s singing voice was very sweet and his face was very beautiful. Changmin is so cute. He is youngest but he is tallest of all. My friend liked him especially so she was excited when he came near our place. I love them more and more. Now, TVXQ is disbanded. It was a very disappointing thing. So I could go their concert is my special memory. It was a dreamlike event for me. The day was the best of my life.
