Stars

I went to Hawaii with my family and came back last week.
We were very busy there and we had just for 3 days! for free time.
I was always with my parents.
We went to the beach and some shops.
My mum and I have allergenic for sun,
plus we were not interested in shopping in a souvenir shop,
so it was not good condition for us....a little bored.

The beach is clean and nice scenery and we climbed Diamond Head.
It took for 40 mins. to the top.We met many tourists there.
It also has a nice view from Diamond Head.
We could see the beautiful blue sea and Honolulu town.

There were a Japanese Festival* at the last night
at Honolulu we were there.
Many Japanese visited and dancing Hula, singing Japanese songs,
and performing drums or some...It was fun but it was just like Japanese summer festival in Japan!!!
I went to Ukulele shop by myself.There are many Ukulele in a shop.

But most interesting thing was watching stars.
We visited Hawaii island too.It is more natural and I like there.
I could see a lot of stars at night.It was really really dark.
There was no light in a street, and we parked a car near there.
The stars were so beautiful!!!There are some observatory on a mountain.I'd like to go to the observatory next time.
My friend recommended to go there,she went to see the stars.
You can watch more stars there.
This is my trip to Hawai'i.

Touki-ichi

My family and I went to Kyushu and visited "Touki-ichi" .it is the market of pottery.My family like pottery.
We have a famous pottery at Arita in Kyushu,south of Japan,and they have a pottery festival "Touki-ichi" in Golden week( we have some national holidays in the week,and so we called the week,"golden week" in Japan.it is almost a week ,end of April -to the bigginig of May.Even Japanese can get holidays.)Anyway so many people visit there every year.We can buy pottery quite cheaper during the festival,and can see many kinds of plates.I like to see plates ,because the design,and almost ot the plates were hand made and handwriting.The skill is amazing!
