How to spend the New Year


 For my first blog of 2024, I would like to talk about how to spend the New Year.

 My family orders and eats ”Osechi” every New Year's Day. There were more than 20 colorful dishes, and just looking at them made me happy. I especially like “Red and white Kamaboko” and ”Datemaki”. It included boiled and vinegared foods that I don't usually eat, but they were very delicious. Each dish in Osechi has a meaning and is filled with wishes. For example, ”black soybeans” symbolize the wish to ”be able to work in good health all year round”. In addition, ”Kazu no ko” contains a prayer for ”prosperity of descendants.” I thought that one way to enjoy osechi dishes is to think about the meaning behind them while eating them.

Hi. I'm Wakaba. I was born and raised in Iwate. I moved to Niigata this spring to go on to university. First, I would like to introduce my hometown of Morioka City. Morioka City is famous for its summer "Morioka Sansa Odori". It is a traditional festival that everyone from children to adults can enjoy. Different regions have different kinds of dances, so we never get tired of watching them. I've participated, but it was especially difficult to dance while beating a drum.

Beautiful life

   This is a picture I took in the evening on my way home from my part-time job. It was time for the sun to set. The sun I could see through the clouds was fantastic. The colors of the sun like orange and yellow were very beautiful! I was lucky to be able to take a picture of the clouds because they looked like sheep and didn't see them very often! I don't usually look at the sky carefully, so I was happy to be able to see such a beautiful sky! beautiful sky  A relative living in another prefecture sent me a flower gift. My relatives grow flowers, so they sometimes send them to me. I really like flowers, so I'm healed by looking at them. Pink roses and Margaret are very cute and beautiful! In general, flowers bloom in warm seasons, but there is also a kind of flower that blooms in autumn called four seasons. Not only do flowers heal just by looking at them, they smell good, but they also have different flower languages and ways of raising them are very interesting! beautifu

Memories of bowling

イメージ
   The other day, I went to Round One with my friends! I played bowling for the first time in about two years. When I was in elementary school, I used to go bowling with my family, but I was a little worried because it was the first time in a while.  We played two games, and we were not too tired and it was just right. I don't know what the average score is, but I was able to get more than 100 points, so I'm personally satisfied! My friend is very good at bowling, and I thought it was amazing to get a few strikes. bowling  I thought the good thing about bowling was that it could be enjoyed by any number of people. I had a lot of fun! I would like to visit again if I have a chance! Thank you for reading my blog!
