past and home

There are a little more that I can talk about the day I felt happy and had such a fun time, so I would like to talk to you about the happy day when I felt fun. The happy day when I felt fun is about six or seven years ago, when I was in high school.

I went to America for about ten months as an exchange student. I think I’m writing about the same thing, but it’s because this is one of my biggest memories ever. I stayed at a host family’s house in Iowa, but I could visit New York City and Washington DC for about a week with my two host sisters and a friend from the high school where I went. In New York City, we went to the Times Square. Times Square was very wonderful and it was like a dream for me. When I was a little, I really wanted to go and visit the New York City. So when I could visit to the New York City, I was really happy. I went to Broadway and saw two musicals which I really wanted to see at least one time someday. One of the musicals that I really wanted to see was called “Wicked”, and the other one was “The phantom of the opera”. Maybe almost all people have heard the names of the musical “The phantom of the opera”. Both of the musicals are very famous and popular. I already knew what those two musicals were about, and the songs of the musicals. I was taking a choir class in the school I went to in America, and in the choir class we were practicing many songs from the two musicals that I saw on Broadway. Why I already knew the stories and the songs about the two musicals, before I saw those two musicals. If you knew songs of a musical before you will see the musical, you will feel really excited to see the musical, I think. I was very excited to see that musicals “Wicked” and “The phantom of the opera”. In New York, or Washington DC, there are more and more other wonderful things. If I could go to those places again, I want to go to see some of the other musicals again, but also I want to go and visit some other famous places.

From here, I will talk about the place where I live now. I was living alone in Kumamoto city when I entered my college. But I quit  living alone a few years ago.  I am from Yamaga city in Kumamoto. I live in Yamaga city now. It’s very far away from the college I go to. I am taking my car to go to college every day. It is takes about an hour or over an hour. It’s too hard to me to go school. I really liked to live in Kumamoto city alone, but it was very lonely for me. It is because I like to be with somebody like my family, or my friends. Almost all my friends are living with their family. Sometimes when I am having fun with my friends, and that takes too long, my friends call their home or their family to tell they will get home late, or they do not need supper that day. If I hear them talking like that, I feel very envious. I do not like to be only one anytime. Living in Yamaga, I feel better, because of course there is my family, and they are always waiting for me. I always can be very happy for that. Yamaga city is very different from Kumamoto city. There are a lot of tall buildings, stores, cars, people, and so on in Kumamoto city, but there are not so many of those things in Yamaga city. Of course, it is because Kumamoto is the biggest city in Kumamoto prefecture, you know. Yamaga is like a country town. I like the people in Yamaga. There are a lot of kind people around me in Yamaga. I love my friends from Yamaga. And each of my friend’s family is also very good people. If there are a lot of good and kind people around you, don’t you feel happy? I do. That way, I am really happy to be from Yamaga city. It’s very hard to go to school sometime, but I love to living in Yamaga city. Do you like your place?
