The Long holidays are starting


The long holidays which is called Golden week in Japan is going to begin. Most Japanese take days off and go out. My friend sent me an e-mail. She was going to Ueno Zoo. This Zoo is famous because lately a pair of pandas arrived from China. On her e-mail, it said that she had to wait for 2 hours to see them. I felt tired by just reading her e-mail. During the holidays a lot of events take place all over Japan. There are a lot of amusement parks, zoos and shopping centers in Japan. But there were a lot of people everywhere. I'm sure to know that there are about 130,000,000 people in Japan.

How to send my friends a wedding message


My friends are getting married in Italy. They will have their wedding party in Italy. I am planning to send them a wedding message with my friends. I asked a friend of mine who has a lot of foreign friends, how to deliver the message to the couple. Then she contacted her friend who lives in Italy. He gave my friend some information about Italian post office services.
The bride and groom had told me the name of the company which had arranged their wedding in Italy. Therefore I was able to contact the company to tell them. "I wanted to send a wedding message. I am going to send or message using the Italian post office service".
Then he said "Sometimes the messages are delayed. Most people send a fax message to the hotel of which the groom and bride are staying." I then decided to send a fax message to their hotel. I hope they will be glad to receive our message.

For sufferes of the earthquake

My friend called me and said "I am planning to go to Ishinomaki in Iwate 4 days later on a Saturday with another friend of mine. I am going to rent a One Box car. I will load some goods on the car. Please prepare some goods by Friday."
Ishinomaki had been affected by the flood. They are going because my friend's family live there. I agreed with his request. I thought of what I can do for the next 3days. At first I asked my friends and my family to raise money. Fortunately everyone cooperated with my request. Next day, I asked my client to deliver some vegetables by tomorrow. He was willing to accept my request. He and his family gathered a lot of vegetables with very little time. Unfortunately there weren't vegetables in their filed. They asked other farmers nearby their field. I asked my junior friends to pack vegetables on Friday. On Friday I went to my friend's office. There were a lot of vegetables which was more than I expected. Everyone who I called came and helped me. I am not a doctor. I can't make a house. I am not a rich person who can donate a lot of money. I have no special skills. I wanted to do something for the sufferers of the earthquake from 11th of March. I was able to do something for them.
